Sullivan It is our firm conviction as well as that of the parents, re-latives, and acquaintances of David Trujillo, that his death was not entirely accidental. There is not the slightest possi-bility that the boy, handicapped as he was, could have walked up to "L" level from Lark. He was brought there, that is certain. Yet it would seem the authori-ties are presuming the boy could have wandered up there. We hope that the citizens, and es-pecially the parents in this area will insist that a thorough in-vestigation be made by those 'Tapable of making such an in-vestigation, and that the case not be closed until a full explanation jhas been given. There will be a bingo party held in Lark Monday, May 27 at 7:00 p.m. in the Miners' Union Hall. Jackpot is $175.00. BINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL NEWS by Ton!

Eight student speakers carried out the commencement theme in their talks. They were Julia Mi-y- a, Karen Bell, Wayne Neilsen, Toni Stewart, JoeAnn Anderson, Frank Zdunich, Diane Reed and Sharlene Foster. Invocation was offered by Norman Bianchi and Joan Cowdell gave the benedic-tion. Dick Kubota, class presi-dent, gave the welcome address. Principal Joel P. Jensen present-ed the class which was accepted by Supt. Reed Beckstead. Dip-lomas were presented by Dr. J. O. Jones, president, Jordan Board of Education, John E. Rich, Leonard Beckstead and Benton Boyd, board members. Following the exercises, a com-plimentary graduation dance was held in the gymnasium.

Miners Lose Baseball Semi-Fin- al To North Sevier - In the Class B semi-fin- al base-ball game between Bingham and North Sevier played at Salina last Friday, the Miners lost the hard fought contest to the North Sevier nine 6 to 5. North Sevier met Cedar City for the Class B state champion-ship. The game was won by Ce-dar City 13 to 0. Year End Activities Last issue of the year of the school paper "Hi-Light- was distributed to students Wednes-day. Yearbooks were given out yesterday (Thursday). Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Gene Fullmer has signed for his first fight on the long trail up to the top again. Gene is to fight Tiger Jones on June 7th in Chicago. This will be his second meeting with Jones. The Tiger has fought so many times on TV he is getting to be as familiar as the soap operas. Gene has work-ed out a couple of times for the public in Salt Lake and experts agree that he has shown no ill effects from the Robinson KO. He just isn't the type to get gun shy. I think if he isn't instructed to fight too casually he will take the Tiger. Jones can't hit with Robinson nor is he half as smart. I have said before that the boys that fight his style Gene will take. If he gets over this fight in impressive fashion we may be in for plenty of action this summer. I don't think he will get another shot at the championship this year, because I don't think Sugar Ray will risk his title over once and that will be against the boy he thinks will draw the most. In baseball we had two sur-prises this past week. North Se-vier beat our local high school team in a semi-fin- al game in Class B and the Utah Aggies won the Western Division title. The Bingham - North Sevier game was a well played" contest with the score 6 to 5. The boys tell me they just couldn't get the key hit. Cedar City took the final game from North Sevier 13 to 0, so the Redmen are champions. The Aggie victory was a true Cinderella story. Picked by the experts to finish last, Coach Nel-son's club just wouldn't believe the papers. After Utah U beat them 34 to 0 they came back strong to take a double header from Utah and split even with BYU to take the crown. This club didn't.have any outstanding star but they had someone come through in every game to supply the winning hit or a game sav-ing play. They play the winner of the eastern end this week end. Denver U is in the lead over there at this writing. Bowling still going strong as a number of Bingham bowlers are keeping in shape for their trip across the mountains to the big Denver tournament. Here is a list of the local stars that are planning the trip Mickey Cal- - listo, Russ Boren, Ken Chestnut, George Sluga, John "Blackie" Kallen and Gus Katis. Any one of these fellows is capable of taking in all in the mile high city.
