SCI-IOGEAR TES APPLE PICKING Last fall during the harvest season, many of the students helped harvest the apple crop. Due to the manpower shortage this was very helpful to the local farmers. PHOTO CLUB We plan to organize a photo club sometime before the end of the school year with Miss Russell as leader, Our school is greatly indebted to Mr. Allen Quimbey who gave the equipment which has made this project possible. SKATING RINK Much work was done during the fall and early winter in building a skating rink which was enjoyed by many of the students. It was used in our intramural carnival for several events. RED CROSS During the Red Cross Drive last spring, the high school went over their quota by 317. This drive lasted about two weeks in the high school and 90 percent of the students contributed. STAMP SALES Bingham High School was honored during the year by a presentation from the Maine State War Bond and Stamp Committee, with Mrs. Lydia Hall Ber- ry, chairman, presenting a certificate of merit and a gift of a copy of the original Bill of Rights to Gerald Ber- ry, president of the Student Council. This award was given for our sale of bonds and stamps of 33562 during 1944, which purchased nearly two field ambulances. Capt. F. P. Ball and Sgt, H. Goodrich were present at this assembly. The sale of war bonds and stamps this year has made it possible to fly the Minute Man Flag continually. LIBRARY By purchase of new books our li- brary has been enlarged to where it was thought necessary to use the Dew- ey System of cataloging. This difficult job was done by Mrs. Hannay. PURCHASES The Student Council purchased a microphone and phonograph turn-ta- ble during the year. These will be a great help at school socials and has solved our music problem for future parties. NEW SHOP EQUIPMENT The Industrial Arts Department was very fortunate this year in obtaining some new power machinery and num- erous hand tools. These are on loan through the State Department of Ed- ucation and greatly facilitates the work in shop classes. It was necessary to enlarge and rewire the shop to ac- comodate this equipment and the boys in these classes have done a line job and gained valuable experience in this project. HOT LUNCHES During the winter months the Home Economic Department, under the di- rection of Miss Elsie Hight, sponsored a hot lunch program for the many pu- pils who came from outside of town. These lunches were started in Decem- ber and lasted until March. The girls planned, prepared, and served these lunches, and also did the cleaning up and sweeping afterwards. This is the first time such a program has been tried at B. H. S. and it has proved a great success.
