the BINGHAM BEACON
The BINGHAM BEACON is a school magazine directly from the
heart of Ethiopia, and the former "School for Missionaries'
Children."
The school was begun in 1945, and the BEACON as a small
magazine from the hectograph. Since then it has taken a
few faltering steps forward until this year we have tried
to make it into a "yearbook".
We trust that the following pages and pictures of life
at Bingham Academy, as the school is now called, will be
a blessing to each one who reads therein.
......and BINGHAM ACADEMY
In our school we have children from several other
Evangelical Missions, other than the S.I.M., and we have
also students from four different countries in or near
East Africa. Somalia, Aden, and Sudan are all represented
as are numersous stations in Ethiopia.
The student body of NINETY-THREE is made up of folk who
have been born in "Orient or Oregon", "Ethiopia or
England", "California or Canada".
Some of our former students are in the homelands
preparing for a life of service for the Master. We send
them our fondest greetings in the Name of Jesus. Phil 2:11
BINGHAM Academy is named after Dr. Roland V. Bingham who
with Mr. Gowans and Mr. T. Kent were the original
pioneer missionaries of the present SUDAN INTERIOR MISSION.
Kent Academy in Nigeria, and GOWANS Home in Collingwood,
Ontario, are named after the other two men.

What does our theme name mean? ............. L.A.C.
A M B A S S A D O R
A - Alive (born again) M - Messenger B - Beloved of the Lord A - Appointed of the Lord S - Servant of the Lord S - Strangers in a foreign land A - Acceptable to God D - Dillgent for Christ O - Obedient to Christ R - Rewarded of Him How are the L.A.C. Meetings carried on?
The entire student body is divided up into four groups,
namely, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS, CRUSADERS, GIDEONS, and
LOYALISTS, with a group leader for each one, elected
entirely by the children themselves, who elect by secret
ballot all members of the Executive. Uner the supervision
of four staff members who act as Counsellors to
the groups, the children take complete charge of the
meetings on Sunday afternoon, each group taking charge
of one meeting every five weeks. The fifth meeting is
usually a Missionary one when a special speaker comes
to speak or some other special programme is planned
entirely by the members of the executive.
This school year we have been receiving much blessing
in our weekly meetings as we have been studying the
PILGRIM'S PROGRESS by means of Flannelgraph and Dramatization. We have been delighted to have with us
from week to week numbers of parents and friends who have enjoyed with us the blessings that have been ours.
We welcome all who are able to be with us from time to time.
