BHS Pepsters add vigor and vitality. Versatility — that’s the keynote for the Pepsters, the girls in charge of stirring up “the Spirit of Baker High” as needed for certain occasions. Under the sponsorship of Miss Pat Bovard, girls' physical education instructor, the group sizzles with activity year round. Starting in September, the Pepsters dressed out at all pep rallies and football games. Several times they performed in sparkling halftime shows for the entertainment of the football fans. Came the end of football season, but not the end of this group’s busyness. At all home basketball games, they could be found dressed out for both the Junior Varsity and Varsity games. Christmas time is always a busy time for the Pepsters. Besides marching in both the Baker and Baton Rouge Christmas parades, they also entertained the children at the Protestant Girls’ Orphanage and St. Joseph’s Orphanage with a Christmas party includ- The Baker High Pepsters’ drum corps Sandy Hill, Penny Cleveland, and Anita Lambert synchronize the Pepster’s steps in all their public appearances. ing presents, refreshments and Santa Claus himself. The Pepsters spent many weeks during the summer months planning and practicing for this year’s activities. Many hours were spent marching in the hot sun. It’s hoped that these hours of practice will be rewarded in the Broadmoor Drill Meet in which the Pepsters will compete. At the end of every year, the Pepsters hold their annual banquet with which they climax their year’s activities. Officers of the Pepsters for 1965-66 are Cheryl Costello, President (always the President in the hearts of all Pepsters); Bobbie Jo Smith; Vice-President; Suzanne Pynes, Secretary-Treasurer; Karen McGowan, Reporter — Historian; Danis Smith. Katie Coates, Brenda I-ofton, Kathy Sue Robertson, Squad Captains; Penny Cleveland, Drum Corps Captain; and Katy Henderson, Dance Corps Captain. Not only did the Pepsters spend numerous hours marching up and down the football field, but also many minutes standing at attention waiting for commands. 174

STEP 1: A paper always begins with the editors Sammy Dyer, Karen McGowan, and Gail Anglin assigning of the articles to the reporters. STEP 2: After covering events and writing their articles as inverted pyramids,” Genie Richard and Brenda Pounds type and justify. STEP 3: All articles having been typed and justified, they must meet the approval of Mr. Blocker and News Editor Karen McGowan. Buffalo Bellow staff—itself newsworthy Informed. That’s what we are at Baker. Why? Simple. Here more widely known than either the AP or the UPI is the Buffalo Bellow staff. Why is this particular press group so widely known? Again simple. Every three weeks they put out a four page edition of the Buffalo Bellow and several times a year an “extra.” What’s so great about the Buffalo Bellow? First of all it’s created by a select staff, all interested in journalism. Second, it contains school news and announcements, a full report of what clubs are doing, student and faculty editorials, the latest in sports, recognition of individuals through “Buff Gal”, “Ruff Guy”, and “Senior Spotlights , and entertainment like “Dear Buffy”, “Hit Parade”, and an occasional cross-word puzzle. Third, winning second place last year in state-wide competition gave it a respected name and reputation. Finally, everybody likes it; copies reach 95% of the entire student body. That’s why the Buffalo Bellow is great and why BUS is informed. Convinced? The staff is divided into two divisions: the staffers, sponsored by Mr. Blocker; and the printers, sponsored by Mr. Bowman. Karen McGowan, News Editor; Gail Anglin, Feature Editor; Sammy Dyer, Sports Editor; Buddy Middleton, Business Manager; Jack Evans. Photographer; reporters, Brenda Bounds, Janene Browning, Penny Cleveland, Carolyn Copes, Gretchen Him-mel, Genie Richard, Faye Bailey, Tonee Tyler, Cheryl Byrd, Dennis Bundrick, and Terry Rector; and printers, Phillip Baggett and Randy Cox, along with Mr. Blocker and Mr. Bowman, make up a 20-member crew. STEP 4: Sammy Dyer takes a picture of a wrestling match between Martha Pugh and Robert Geter to compliment the “Senior Spotlights” articles. STEP 5: Janene Drowning, Genie Richard, and Gail Anglin begin “laying up” — gluing articles and pictures onto lay-up sheets and fitting headlines to them, a sure sign that the paper is nearing completion.
