Bingham High School News Enrollment. Two interesting things are to be noticed in the enrollment at Bingham senior high this year. First: There is a total enrollment to date of.one hundred eighty five students as against a total enrollment for .the entire school year in 1925-192- 6. Second: There is a marked in-crease in enrollment in upper class men this year over any previous year. This year there are fifty-fiv- e Sophomores and forty-the- e Juniors as against thirty Sophomores and twenty eight Juniors for last. This shows a substantial increase in the holding power of the school. "To increase its holding power" is one of the primary objectives of the of-ficials of the high school. Band. Thirty five new band instruments have been purchased by the local high school. With these instruments, the splendid leadership of Mr. Crapo, music director, the enthusiastic sup- - port of the students and the com-plete cooperation member of the faculty we expect to develop a band that the community will be proud of. Football. For the first time in its history the Bingham high, school will play league football. The new outfits purchased have aroused much interest among the boys. From thirty to fifty lads may be found on the field each eve-ning competing for a place on the team; It will take a year or two, perhaps, to develop a first class team, but we hope to be able to make an honorable showing this year. Mechanics Department, Two new lathes have been pur-chased for the mechanics department this year to add to the one purchased last yeat;. - This machinery added to that previously purchased had made it possible for the school to offer sub-stantial courses in various kinds of machine work. As an auxiliary to this department the sohool also gives a course in electricity and surveying. These courses have two chief ah-- jective3: First: To fit the school to com-munity needs. Second: To increase the holding power of the school. Personal Hygiene For Girls. This year for the first time the school nurse, Louise Van Eee, will teach a course in personal hygiene to all the girls in both junior and senior high schools. Mi3s Van Ee,e meets the girls once per week, in four sep-arate groups. Seventh grade, eighth grade, ninth and tenth grades, eleventh and twelfth grades. Through this course we hope to familiarize the girls with many of the personal hygiene prob-lems important in the lives of girls, and with which many of the girls have no other way of becoming familiar. College Freshman. Ten students from the Bingham high school will enter the freshman class at the University of Utah this fall. This is an increase of one hun-dred twenty five per cent over any previous year, the largest number heretofore having been four. ;Bingham:Has 1 . - Another Fire I i - I i . . ,1 v-.- .'

BINGHAM SETS THE PACE. T . Salt Lake authorities are to be con gratulated on the good business judg-ment arid progressiveness as evi- - denced by their endorsement of the action of the Bingham officers when they trot out this week with a new No." 75 American La France combina- - tion pump, chemical and hose truck at a cost of $13,000, which is one of the best pieces of equipment in their big fire fighting organization. Bingham authorities purchased this identical same kind of machine on the 25th of July, last year, and there is not much question in the minds of most observing Binghamites but that - Is has already saved its cost. Congratulations Salt Lake! COMMUNITY CHURCH MAKES SPECIAL BID TO MEN Seven Sunday evening services, September 19 to October 31, inclu-sive, have ben set aside at the Com-munity church for a series of ad-dresses upon the problems of the worker. This, of course, comes close to home to the residents of Bingham Canyon. Last Sunday evening Mr. Keltzing introduced the series by pre-senting Jesus as the friend of the worker, showing that He Himself as a worker, a carpenter, was in close sympathy with the worker and labored for his welfare. Next Sunday evening the attitude of Jesus toward wages will be studied and applied to twentieth century conditions in Bing-ham Canyon and elsewhere. While such a series Is of general interest to everybody, the men will probably find in it a special appeal. For that reason the men are being especially invited to attend that a i wide hearing and discussion in the i community may result. I BINGHAM NEWS PUBLISHING CO.
