The court along with the cheerleaders, SCA officers, band, ROTC and Azalea Trail maids kept the audience enticed during halftime. Even with the defeat by McGill, the Ba- ker students were faithful to their Hor- nets. After a full week of spirit boosting and extra activities, the big event finally be- gan.

Student Life 13 Homecoming Dance — Huge Success Queen Teena Scott and her court reigned over the Homecoming dance Sat- urday night, October 16, in the Baker cafe- teria. The dance, sponsored by the S.C.A., was a huge success as it always has been. Even though Baker lost to McGill, Baker students had a lot of spirit and pride left over to make the dance a terrific exper- ience for everyone that was in atten- dance. Stan Clarke was the D.J. who played an excellent selection of music that kept the fast dancing good and the slow dancing better. He also played the Homecoming dance theme, What ' s Forever For? by Micheal Murphy. This song was used dur- ing a special dance reserved for the Homecoming Queen and her court.

One is Homecoming and the second is the Greater Gulf State Fair. Mobile ' s Fair is the Event of the Season, not only for Baker students but other Mo bilians of all ages. The lights, sounds and sights make the atmosphere one enjoyed by all. Students look forward to the relaxation and excitement of a cool night at the fair. The fair is a great chance for students to get away and be with their friends. From the top of the Giant Wheel, people look like ants. Monique Blackwell relaxes on the merry-go-round. Ferris Wheels are a popular ride. The Tidal Wave was a new stomach turning attrac- tion. Student Life 17 We Know How To Show Our Spirit Baker Students know how to show their spirit. With everything from cowboy hats to poodle-skirts, Spirit Week was a memo- rable part of Homecoming. Monday, Baker Day, students proudly displayed Bakers ' colorful ribbons and pins. Many students were double trou- ble and twice as nice, on Tuesday ' s Twin Day. Wednesday was M.A.S.H. Day and the halls were overrun with Hotlips Houlihans and Klingers. Thursday, Cowboy and Indians Day, many folks were dressed as if they were coming from a day on the range. Friday was considered a well known tradition to students; it was 50 ' s Day. Everyone went back to the time of the Beatles, Happy Days, and Elvis. This Spirit Week helped to lead up to a well played Homecoming game and a good tur- nout for the Homecoming Dance. The winners of the Mr. and Mrs. Spirit Contest were announced during the Ba- ker-McGill Homecoming pep-rally, Friday. Arnold Tillman and Bruce Sledge tied for Mr. Spirit. Barry Bryant was the runner- up. The Miss Spirit award was given to Lisa Patterson. The runners-up were Mary Jane Rice, Sandy Lawson, Vonceile Carter, Kathleen McCune, and Trisha Sisson. The Most Spirited Teacher award was given to Mrs. Crawford. She commented, This has been the best Spirit Week ever! Fifties Day, a Baker tradition, is enjoyed by stu- dents.

Spirit Week 19 Dances: A Chance to Get Together A favorite extra-curricular activity is the dances which follow the many Baker football and basketball games. A good idea for having dances is not only having a great time, but also to raise money for clubs and organizations. Our most traditional dance is the Back To School Dance, sponsored by the Jour- nalism staff, with W.B.L.X. There was a great turnout which helped new and old friends get together. A new experience was the TOGA DANCE. TOGA was heard throughout the cafeteria. Students were decked out in sheets in the toga spirit. School dances used to be a thing of the past, but Baker students see them as a good time. Seniors, Suzanne Simmons. Trisha Lumpkin. Lisa LaFe. and Sandy Lawson. discuss their new schedule at the Back To School Dance. Arnold Tillman dances with his date at the Toga Dance. LaDarrell Thames demonstrates the new wave at Baker.

Coke Is It Spirit Shown Through Pep! Pep Rallies! Everybody loves pep rallies. It is a great way for fans and players to get psyched up for a game. Whether it is foot- ball, basketball, or baseball, everyone shows spirit and unity in the school. Each pep rally demonstrates true school pride among all the student body; Administra- tion, faculty, and students. All the fans show their school spirit as well as pride by jumping and shouting and rooting for their team. The cheerleaders demonstrate their pride and spirit by leading cheers and always being there to encourage the players as well as yelling for them. Not only is Baker proud of their teams but the cheerleaders themselves. Baker cheerleaders have always been known for their extreme athletic ability as demonstrated at every pep rally. Baker ' s dance team is also another or- ganization well thought of by everyone. When the dance team makes their ap- pearance at a pep rally , one is always in for a real treat. We are especially lucky since Baker is one of the few schools that have a dance team. Always by their side, the Ba- ker band really gets the crowd going at every pep rally, and what a better way to start off a pep rally than with the Pride of Baker. The Pride of Baker. Captain.

The Senior Mess Pageant, sponsored by the Senior Class, was considered a huge success in the eyes of the student body. The pageant, which was held October 29, was composed of fifteen contestants. The contestants were judged on their choice of outfit, make-up, talent and an- swers to questions picked at random. Arnold Tillman, Jim Tadlock, and Glen Willis had the audience rolling on the floor with their presentation of Fire. Randy Matthews was a real knockout in his body shaping black leotard, doing a graceful roller skating routine. The questioning session is what won it for Glenn Willis who was crowned Senior Mess. When asked if Glen would consider be- coming a nun, he thought for a brief mo- ment and gave an emphatic NO! for his answer. First runner up was Randy Matthews and second runner-up was Arnold Tillman. Randy Matthews is the pride and to o Raker Jim Tadlock demonstrates poise and grace.

In Order to determine who would perform, Junior Civitan members voted for 13 performers out of the 21 who tried out. Mrs. Barnes was in charge of picking the judges, and the Art Club decorated the gym for the talent show. Jake Bran- denburg contributed the sound system and Fate Adams was in charge of the light- ing. The winners were: first. The Body Pop- pers, second, Lelani Harris, third, Keith Johnson and fourth, Barry Bryant. The Body Poppers included Henry Bradley, Tracy and Melissa Burnette clog to that old Moun- tain Music. Barry Bryant, third runner up. sings If ICould Read Your Mind. The Body Popper graciously accept their trophy while Lelani Harris. Keith Johnson, and Barry Bryant admire their trophies.

This group performed a new dance which they had to repeat be- cause of the crowd ' s enthusiasm. Lelani Harris sang a religious song, One Day at a Time. Keith Johnson played a song on the piano that he had composed and Barry Bryant sang If I Could Read Your Mind. Mrs. Perry was the sponsor of Talents in Bloom. This was her first year and she enjoyed working on the talent show with the help of the Junior Civitan members. This year ' s Talents in Bloom had a very good turn out. It was said to the best tal- ent show at Baker. Class Rings: A High School Tradition Class rings are a tradition at all high schools. The rings for the class of 1984 were chosen in the month of November. There were, as usual, many sizes and styles to choose from, ranging from the small dainty dinner rings to a larger, more masculine men ' s ring. The Junior class, under the leadership of Michelle Robinson, ordered their rings with the utmost of care. A class ring holds all the memories of twelve years in school on one ' s finger. Class unity in high school is depicted by the Iradi tional class rings on the hands of the class members. Lou Brock Visits Baker Lou Brock, famous baseball player, vis- ited Baker during November. The purpose of his visit was to give seniors a chance to compete for a scholarship. During the first six weeks of this pro- gram seniors wrote on either My Career Choice, or Unemployment and Commu- nity Problems. Also each nominee had a five-minute interview which helped to de- cide who would qualify for the award. Guidance counselors and teachers were asked to recommend the students that applied for the award. The judges at Group W. Cable selected the seniors according to their scholastic integrity, physical fitness, cultural aware- ness, and community service. The winner in each region wins a one thousand dollar scholarship. Brock was an outfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals. He was a success in baseball, in the classroom, business office, and in the community. Because of his success. Tele- prompter Training Institute named a scholastic award after him. Lou Brock and Coach Andrews discuss scholar- ships and baseball during a break. The Battle Of The Classes Much excitement and enthusiasm was seen in the heartthrobbing high school Challenge of the Classes. It got off to a great start with the wheel- barrow relay. Participants divided into pairs and formed wheelbarrows, as they whirled to the middle of the floor, switched positions, and returned to the start. The next event required players to go to the middle of the floor, squat to their knees, and try to roll a ball into a small paper cup taped to the floor. After doing this, they ran back to tap the next team- mate. Most everyone was familiar with the next event, the balloon race. Contestants accelerated to the center, while blowing up balloons, and sat on them until they popped. Next, players on each team lined up ex- citedly behind the free-throw line for a basketball relay, where contestants gave it their best shot. One person from each team was chosen to participate in the next event. It was a hilarious sight as contestants stuffed their faces with as many bananas as possi- ble, while jumping on a trampoline at the same time. The final test was an exasperating one as players took part in a tug of war, pulling with all their might. The teachers were victorious at the end of the battle and the sophomores came in second. Both were left behind last year, and had stated that they would be back, doing just that. The middle school assembly which in- cluded the seventh through ninth graders was held during fifth period in the gym and followed the same format as the high school. The teachers again came in first and the seventh grade, second. Eighth graders cheer their class on. Juniors, Chris Thompson and Matt Roberson wait for the next event. Lelani Harris.

Other parts included performers from the Red Dog Saloon and the Happyville Dancers. With the large cast many thought it would be difficult to prepare for this per- formance. But this opportunity gave a chance for the class of 83 ' to become clos- er and feel like one big family. — — — MM _ 4i M ■ VT ' S «V ■■ ■■ MB •!

S.C.A. and Class Elections i-J bfca- You always know when it ' s time for class and Student Council elections. Everywhere you look you are constantly reminded by the campaign posters in ev- ery stairway and hall. Campaign managers are busy passing out buttons and pins dis- playing a variety of ideas and campaign promises. The candidates present their speeches at class assemblies the day before the vo- ting takes place. Baker is always proud of its class and Student Council officers. They ' ve always showed they can accept responsibility and show their leadership. Class spirit is prevelant in most campaign posters. Scott Cooper is passing on a few hints that could steal the election. Mrs. Deupree explains the duties and what she ' ll be expecting of the new Student Council officers next year.

This phenomenon event was sponsored by the B-Club. The variety of entertainment was pre- sented to both assemblies for high and middle school. This included the Solid Old Gold Dancers, Robert Taylor in Splish Splash, Mrs. Wright and her group, The Supremes, Coach Wally, singing Alley Opp, and Mrs. Flynn singing Peggy Sue. The most exciting moment in the show was the Spotlight Dance that stu- dents and teachers participated in. Teachers relived their school spirit during the Chuck Barry song, School Days. Mr. Dunaway ' s true character was brought out when students sang, Miki, You ' re so Fine, Students were overwhelmed when coaches, John Aikens and Clem Richard- son displayed their muscular talent, while Coach Jones, Coach Odom, and Coach Bumbers played toss with a beach ball.

If you are into the so-called, Designer Scene, you would have most likely chosen the Calvin Klein ' s. The designer craze is sweeping this na- tion by storm and some of it has even gone over seas. Some people will save all their hard-earned money just to buy a pair of Chic ' s, Gloria Vanderbilt, Sasson, Cal- vin Klein, and let us not forget, Jordache jeans. Designers have gone to such tactics as using beautiful models that cause the de- signer-dazed to believe they will look like that if they wear those clothes. Such as Gloria Vanderbilt Black Jeans, When a woman wears black, she expects some- thing to happen. Other designers have used such lines as, I ' m Galvanized, (Cal- vin Klein), A Tradition continued, (Le- vi ' s), You ' ve got the look! (Jordache), Oooh, La! La! (Sasson) and A size for every shape, (Chic). Jeans aren ' t the only items that are De- signer-designated. There are also shirts, sweaters, skirts, and shoes. The main competition in this area is Polo and Izod La Coste. In the beginning of the 80 ' s, Izod was on top, but within the past year, Polo has become the new King of the Hill. Ralph Lauren, (Polo) has also dabbled in perfumes and colognes. Izod La Coste, not to be outdone by Polo, has a new perfume out now, also. But they aren ' t the only ones, Gloria Vanderbilt, Oscar De La Renta, Calvin Klein and Yves St. Laurent have also expanded their ca- reers into fragrances. In the area of footwear, Bass is in the front with a big lead on everyone else, although Agner is not doing too bad. While Bass is just in footwear, Agner deals in footwear, along with sweaters, shirts, and leather items (purses, wallets, belts, etc.) As you can see, in this Designer-de- leria nation of ours it ' s more important to have a nice pair of Jordache jeans and a Polo sweater with Izod perfume than such insignificant details as paying your rent, getting gas for your car or having food to eat. I mean, really! Who needs a roof over their head when they have a Calvin Klein raincoat! Being a Senior is always in fashion say Shari Ur- banski. Renee Pajer, Connie Gilley, Carol Ann Gibbs. and Monica Self. Panama Jack had a big success with his unique brand of shirts. Tina Cotton displays the hottest fad this year, the mini-skirt.

The tedious task of piecing together such a production began when Mr. Doolit- tle conducted auditions to choose the very best cast ever. Many intense hours, hard work, and pa- tience went into the production for ap- proximately six weeks. They also sacri- ficed many of their long-waited-for Saturdays preparing themselves. Recognition for sets and direction goes to Mr. Thorn McClintock. Mrs. Sherri Mul- lin, Drama and Speech teacher, contribut- ed much of her time and ideas in helping to make the play successful also. 1776 was originally a New York pro- duction at the Music Theater and cost ap- Shawn Nelson and James Santos quarrel vigorously for independence.

It ran for three years on Broadway, won both the coveted Tony Award and New York Dra- ma Critics ' Circle Award ad Best Musi- cal of the 1968-69 season. 1776 was based on drafting the Decla- ration of Independence. It wrapped unfor- gettable moments of our history with un- yielding spirit. Each cast member helped the audience to look back at our forefa- ther heroes as the real people they were. When asked if Mr. Doolittle was pleased with the overall outcome, he an- swered Yes without hesitation. He was so pleased that he plans to perform at four or five other schools in Mobile County. In his final words, he commented, There ' s a lot to be learned in doing a show like this. 40 Activities Courrier, Lelani Harris sings Mama Look Sharp to the audience of 1776. Maurice Turgeau.

Randall Messer and Angela Wheeler were joined in wedlock. Mark Ost and Trisha Sisson also pro- nounced their vows before friends. Along with planning the actual ceremo- ny, the second and third period classes, investigated the costs of a real wedding. Renting tuxes and dresses, buying a cake, researching other hidden costs of a wed- ding, helped the students find that mar- riage isn ' t all fun and games. Their weddings took place in the media center, a reception followed in the home economics room for the family living classes.

But where did it all come from? The LeMoyne Brothers, in 1702, brought their Latin celebration of Mardi Gras with them to the New World. The first record- ed Mardi Gras celebration on the Gulf Coast was the Societe de la Saint Louis. Mobile ' s Mystic societies were begun dur- ing the I830 ' s. The Striper ' s Independent Society, organized in 1842, became the ol- dest of Mobile ' s Mystic Societies. The Crescent City, New Orleans, got its carnival and Mardi Gras celebrations from Mobile. In the early l85Cs, several Mobilians succeeded in taking the tradi- tion along with them to New Orleans, which is now Mobile ' s only opposition in Mardi Gras proceedings. After the Civil War, a man named Joe Cain received the Mardi Gras jubilee in Mobile. He has since been celebrated on Mardi Gras Sunday with the Joe Cain pa- rade. Since then, the joy and nonsense of Mardi Gras is anticipated by young and old alike, and when the season comes upon us each year, we can feel the excitement in the air! Senior, Mary Jane Rice, was crowned queen of the Mystic Stripers in Mardi Gras 1983. Her father has been a member of the Mystic Stripers for more than a decade and he was Mary Jane ' s king. Mary Jane rode on the queen ' s float in the Stripers parade, and then reigned over the Striper ' s Ball. 5C Activities Queen of Stripers Activities 51 An Old Tradition Updated As usual, class awards were given to those students chosen by their peers. To get these awards, these people must be highly respected and well-liked by their fellow classmates. One of the most presti- gious awards given at Baker is Mr. and Miss Baker High School and this year the recipients were Allen Carroll and Bonnie Cooke. While the judges were making the final decisions, the audience was entertained by Carol Ann Gibbs with You Are Always On My Mind. As time for the big moment drew near, all was quiet and there was electricity in air when the winners were announced. Senior, Kandy Blackburn was 3rd. runner-up, Freshman, Kelly Sheffield, was 2nd runner-up, and Senior Bonnie Cooke was crowned Most Beautiful of Ba- ker High School for 1983. An old tradition with new changes made Hornet Night very memorable this year. The pageant still had many lovely young ladies, but the number was just a little smaller. The format of the program was also changed with two new Masters of Ceremonies, Mr. John Butler and Mrs. Sherrie Mullin. Another refreshing change was having all of the contestants give a quote that (ill 7? p Ui v P WkX w Venus Walston was special to them. This gave the judges a chance to hear the contestants ' speak- ing voices and get an insight on their per- sonalities.

Oh, I know they cover their faces, run and hide, but they usually get their picture taken anyway. Most of the time they argue about the matter and still end up making some silly pose for the camera. Whenever there ' s a camera in sight, a clown will appear and everyone around will be captured on film smiling or laughing. Picture after picture, flash after flash, Baker students always seem to be happy. On guard and even off guard they ' re still smiling. Indeed, Baker is a very happy school, and the students are definitely not cam- era shy. They smile at anything and ev- erything. So if you ' re a Baker student and a photographer comes up to you, don ' t be shy, smile for the camera. Rivers lodds and Allen Thompson make the 1983 Junior Senior Prom a memory- Prom servers.

A magnificent evening was spent dining, dancing, and having pic- tures made. All were clad in their rented tux and carefully chosen gowns. Callouts for the junior and senior class officers went smoothly, followed by the crowning of prom queen. Brigitte Wingfield was awarded 3rd runner-up for the Prom Queen, and Ce Ce Bailley was 2nd runner-up. Bonnie Cook and Leah Bright tied for first runner-up, and Teena Scott, who was also the 1982-83 Homecoming Queen, was crowned the 1983 Prom Queen.

The End is Near For this very close senior class, the last of the senior week was seven days of ex- citement, fun, maybe a little scared facing the real world, but most of all, preparing for graduation. Many events were included during this week, such as Honors Day, the Baccalau- reate Breakfast, receiving caps and gowns, and then what everyone had been waiting for . . . GRADUATION. Many goodbyes were said to both stu- dents and teachers and also exchanging of memory books.

The game was a see-saw battle with both teams moving the ball up and down the field. Late in the first quarter, Rain had a chance to score on a 4th and 2, but they elected to run instead of punt. Due to errors on both sides, Baker held on and took over. With three minutes left in the third quarter, sophomore quarterback, Roger Lee, was hurt on a sack. Senior, Kenny Ferguson was sent in as replacement. Ferguson came in to take the Hornets down-field for a 12 yard touchdown pass to Greg Pierce. From here on, the game was a clear victory as Baker won their first game, 6- 0. The Hornets won their first home home game of the season September 3, as they stung the Shaw Rebels, 30-21.

The offense took to the air as Kenny Ferguson hurled three attempts and two completions for a total of 45 yards and one touchdown. Chris Wallace and Greg Pierce were the leading receivers with 42 yards between them. In the second half, the Hornets ' second and third string teams had their crack at the error-prone Rebels.

Baker suffered their second loss of the season as they played the Theodore Bobcats here at Baker September 24. The only two touchdowns for Baker were made by sophomore, Roger Lee, and freshman, Bryan Edwards. At the half the game was tied 14-14 as the Hornet fan ' s support was encouraging. But as the game progressed the Hornets deffenses were let down and the Bobcats had a victory of 42-21. The Hornets lost game after game but fan support never decreased and team spirit ironically increased. Baker ' s final record was 2-8. Football coaches, (left to Right ).

It was Coach Daniel Bumper ' s task to turn this parking lot team into a well-oiled, fine-tuned basket- ball machine. Through weeks of vigorous training, windsprints, etc., a prospective team emerged. Their first test was to come on November 19, a home game against Grand Bay. The Hornets made a good show for themselves by scoring twice as many goals as the opposing team. The final score was 84-42. The Hornets defeated team after team and were well on their way to their next test, the M.G.M. Tournament. The first team they would face would be Citronelle. Baker promptly defeated that team with a score of 62-49. The team leaped out of the frying-pan and into the fire to coin a phrase. The very next day, they faced the awesome Vi- kings from M.G.M. Once again, Hornet defense proved to be too much for the opposition. M.G.M. was defeated by an appalling score of 46- 29. Sophomore, Jeff Thompson, was awarded the M.V.P. Award for the tourna- ment. Soon afterward, the team would suffer its first loss. Although the battle was lost, the team had not given up the war. Coach Bumpers led his relatively short 4-A team all the way to the Regional Tour- nament of February 21-25. The first game was against the M.G.M. Vikings and once again the Hornets, by a small margin, defeated M.G.M. 62-50. Blount, however, defeated the Hornets 45-60. Joe Jackson was appointed to the All Conference Team following the tourna- ment. Top players for the team were: Joe Jackson, scoring; Jeff Thompson, re- bounding, and John Lofton was consid- ered the best defensive player. 96 Sports I laker Other Grand Ba Home S4 41 U Mary Montgomery Home 65 51 W Revert sdale Heme 67 56 W CitroneUe Away a 49 W M.G.M.

Sports 133 The art department sign shows the pride Baker students take in art. Art Club The Art Club is a small club of 15 talent- ed members, sponsored by Ms. Barnes. Its purpose is to be of service to the Art De- partment and the school, while also pro- viding opportunities for reward and en- richment for its members. Members have exhibited their art work at numerous shows this year such as the Greater Gulf Coast Fair, Junior Arts Fair, P.T.A. Art Show, the Youth Art Month Ex- hibit at Bel Air Mall, and many other places. Students felt a sense of pride as they not only provided their school with talent, but also their community. B-Club To be a member of the B-Club, you must first letter in one of Baker ' s varsity sports. This iis open to cheerleaders as well as participants in sports. Once in the club, you must uphold the objective to promote better athletics, school spirit and loyalty, and the development of good sportsmanship. This year ' s 40 B-Club members spon- sored the Teacher Variety Show. With the money left from last year ' s club and mon- ey made from the Variety Show, the club has contracted to purchase a flag pole and flag for the football field and a flag for the gym. They have also made plans to pur- chase a video outfit for the athletic de- partment. B-Club members. Terry Broadus. mans the pop- corn machine during a basketball game to raise mon- ey for the B-Club. Boy ' s 4-H Upon entering Boy ' s 4-H, members were given a booklet of suggested pro- jects to complete such as I) Learn how to repair stereo speakers, 2) Learn how to make a flashing lamp with an on off switch, 3) Enter the Electric Demo Con- test, and many more. They were to have someone take a pic- ture of them working on a project, record the time spent, and put the picture in their booklet. Once they learned how to do one of these helpful tasks, they showed their fellow club members how it was done. Members were awarded with ribbons and certificates for their accomplish- ments. The skills they learned will help them in situations faced in everyday life. Girls ' 4-H The four H ' s, Health, Heart, Hands, and Head are carried out in this club ' s goal to promote interaction between students and their community. The club consists of approximately 20 females from grades 9-12. Although there are mostly seventh and eighth graders in- volved. Some of the activities 4-H participated in this year included various contests around Mobile such as Baking. Home-mak- ing, essay papers, Ecology posters, and talent. A 4-H notebook was also completed and acorns were collected to plant oak trees that Fredric took away. Sponsor, Mrs. Erdman, commented that she believes Girls ' 4-H is a good beginning for students, and she was well pleased with this year ' s club. Baker ' s Band Bigger and Better Baker ' s band is getting bigger and bet- ter every year. The band consisted of 120 dedicated members this year, and will have 140 next year. Without these 140 members, adding ex- citement and enthusiasm, Baker ' s pep ral- lies and football games would not have been the same. They not only played at games and pep rallies, but also during Mardi Gras, gradu- ation, the welcoming of President Marcos of the Philippines, and for spring and win- ter concerts. Competition, a well-known word to the ambitious group, took place at the Deep South Marching Contest at Ladd Stadium and the Picayune Marching Festival in Picayune, Mississippi. The band participated in numerous fund raisers because as Mr. Faison com- mented, It takes tons of money to be suc- cessful! Auxiliary Band Adding Color and Flash Adding color and flash to the marching band is a group called the Auxiliary Band. It ' s made up of the Dance Team, .in,) I lag and Rifle Corps. Members were chosen through tryouts by judges after a week of training in each individual group. The Auxiliary Band marched with the Marching Band during football season. Mardi Gras. and also participated in marching contests. Many times the Dance Team entertained the audience during pep rallies. Each individual group was actively in- volved in car washes, doughnut sales, and many other fund raisers done as a group.

Bakers Dozen also sang at various places for the public during the year. They participated at the annual Christ- mas candle light singing at the Oakleigh house as well as for several school board officers at the West Area Office. Drama — A Real Success In order to be a success, each year dra- ma students work to accomplish certain goals. They involve the school and com- munity in dramatic activities. They give the students an appreciation of drama yesterday and today. They gain self-con- fidence. They build up, secure, and add to the drama facilities. Approximately 90 students make up the very active drama classes. This year ' s classes participated in a Christmas play for the school, a one-act play first semes- ter, an air guitar contest, second semes- ter, and a variety show to end the year. The memory made from these activi- ties will go towards a marquis sign which is to be contributed to the school. Mrs. Mullin also hopes to spend funds on make- up, costumes, lights, etc. Teresa Bondora and Felecia Jernigan decide that sometimes you need to see the lines to do it right.

This year ' s varsity cheerleaders were: Karen Andrews, Teresa Bondora, Bonnie Cook, Mamie Erdman, Felecia Jern igan, Ginger Lowell, Kim Loyd, Candy Nelson, Sherri Roberts, and Suzanne Simmons. To finance the squad, the girls sold doughnuts, held a car wash, sponsored a dance, and put on a bake sale. Other ac- tivities included helping Mrs. Brown with Baker ' s annual orientation and marching at the Christmas parade at Bel Air Mall. A tie for second place at the NCA clinic and a first place in varsity at the Universi- ty of South Alabama gave credit to the girls for their hard work. XV.

Through this class, students learn about photos and captions, how to conduct in- terviews, how to write copy, and then how to lay it all out. To increase their journalistic skills and to adopt new ideas and techniques for the betterment of the yearly publication, stu- dents attended a 1982 summer work shop at U.S.A. They also visited Herff Jones in Montgomery, their new yearbook plant. To help finance the book, members sold Spirit rags, wooden calendars, Christmas ornaments, first aid kits, and most impor- tantly, ads during the summer. As they tried to capture the memories of Baker students throughout the year, Journalism I, II, and III students formed a sense of responsibility, and much pa- tience and dedication.

High School S.C.A. The High School S.C.A. upheld pride and spirit as they worked hard to carry out their many important purposes. Some of them were to develop attitudes of and practice in good citizenship, promote har- monious relations throughout the school, improve school morale, assist in the man- agement of the school, provide a forum for student expression, provide orderly direction of school activities, and pro- mote the general welfare of the school and community. S.C.A. began the school year with a teacher welcome. They sponsored Home- coming, Challenge of the Classes, the Christmas door decoration contest, which was something new and exciting at Baker, the blood drive, Sweetheart Con- test and Dance, and Student elections. The Secret Pal luncheon was also spon- sored by S.C.A. The High School Student Council, made up of approximately 75 members, not only sponsored these school activities, but they sent flowers to students and faculty who were sick and in the hospital, they put books in the media center in memory of student and faculty members whose loved ones died during the school year, and since 1967, S.C.A. has sponsored an American Indian boy who lives in Oklaho- During the summer, they met regularly and planned school events for the follow- ing year. They also attended the state workshop at Tuscaloosa in July as they closed the busy 1982-83 year. 1982-83 SCA officers were-, Suzanne Simmons, President, Lisa Patterson, Vice President, Rey Toole, Secretary, and Carol Ann Gibbs, Treasurer.

L- 111 wmw Middle School The middle school student council ' s main objective was to enhance our school program through service, good citizen- ship, and building of the students ' charac- ter. It also was to build a foundation in student council for future service. The approximate 30 members were ex- tremely involved this year as they wel- comed teachers back to school, prepared thanksgiving baskets for the less fortu- nate, and held a Baker ' s Best Contest at the Spring Dance which they also spon- sored. But, a special project that S.C.A. members seem to especially enjoy each year is the participation of secretly ad- miring teachers assigned to them. They did this by putting secret pal notes and occasionally small gifts in the teachers ' boxes throughout the year, and then at the closing of the year they had a Secret Pal Luncheon where members excitedly met their Secret Pals. 1982-83 SCA Officers were; Nancy Rus- sel, President, April Boyd, Vice-President, Karlene Walch, Secretary, and Rhett Vause, Treasurer. Sponsor was Miss Cody. Middle School SCA President. Nancy Russell, still has time for school function cv en with her busy schedule.

To these students, Senior means prestige, good times and anticipation. Senior influence is seen through out the school. It is seen in the halls during spirit week, at sporting events in the way of signs and yells, and in the gymnasium dur- ing assemblies. Good times is something the class of 83 knows all about. The good times in- clude going to the Junior-Senior Prom with that special someone, the late night study parties with friends, senior skip day at the beach, graduation parties which last into the early hours, and the football games where they cheered Baker on to victory. The seniors anticipate and worry about the coming year. A common question for them is Where will I be next year? The answers range from being in college or the military to having a job or being married. Although the class of 83 doesn ' t know what lies ahead, they do know one thing; they are the best class to have ever gradu- ated from Baker. Alexander, Sondra Allen. I ra Alfred, Ron Andrews.

Howd) Seniors 175 Administration The administration, a vital link be- tween the faculty, parents and stu- dents, saw a dramatic change this year. This year they lost two members, Mr. Alfred July and Suzye Gaillard, while gaining two. July was promoted to principal of a local middle school while Gaillard was transferred to Mary G. Montgomery. The two new members were Thomas Green, assistant principal and Susan Flynn, instructional specialist. Although, students missed July and Gaillard, Green and Flynn were soon ac- cepted into the Baker family.

The Junior Class was very busy throughout the entire I9S2-S3 school year. With preparing for the prom and getting class rings, the Juniors never had a dull moment. A shirt sale and a magazine sale were among the fund-raising activities spon- sored by the Juniors. All these activities were projected toward the highlight for Class of 84 the year, the prom. Every year the prom is sponsored by the Junior Class, and these Juniors want- ed the prom to be the best ever. At the Junior Class meeting, many important de- cisions were made concerning the prom. The big decisions were: Truly for the theme, Damascus as the band, and the place and date; April 8th at Expo Hall. With this behind them, plans for decora tions and food were made. All of these decisions made the 1983 prom Truly one to remember. After their Junior worries about prort were over, the greater worry of gradu ation was brought up.

With classes like Alge- bra I, Biology, Physical Science, and other regular curriculum, the Freshmen kept busy while earning credits toward their graduation in 1986. Extra-cirricular activities that the Freshmen can participate in have also changed from the previous years. Stu- dents can now be a part of the high school Student Council, Homecoming Courts, Hornet Night, and other high school func- tions. With three years of planning, hard work, and determination ahead, the class of 86 ' will finally reach their long awaited goal of graduation. 192 FRESHMEN Kevin Rtultnon waltt pMtlentl) tot hli punlth Offlceald.

Each friend should be treated special. In a time of need, it is only natural to turn to the one friend who is closest to you. This person is there for you when ever you need them to be and you do the same. As time goes on, this friendship begins to grow and become stronger. The longer it lasts, the more valuable it becomes.

Their next task is to become an accepted member of Baker. Eighth graders accomplished Class of 87 this task through playing their part in middle school activities. Among these were the middle school dance, the Baker ' s Best Dance, and the Hornet sweatshirt sale. Apart from their school activi- ties, eighth graders enjoyed an oc- casional trip to the mall or a Friday night at the skating rink. Wherever they went they showed Baker spir- it and pride. They have learned the traditions and the rules, now they ' re ready for their freshman year. 198 Eighth Grade Tracy Montgomery. Shay dollot. and Susan Hiram do It barefooted.

If you can ' t walk into a mall without stopping at the arcade to play pac-man, then you might have pac- man fever. Do you put a quarter into a pac-man machine thinking you ' ll just play one game, and end up spending $5.00? Are you constantly told to shut up because you won ' t stop humming the pac-man tune in class? When you ' re eating your lunch does your food look like pac-monsters and energy dots? Do you find yourself running from ugly people in the halls? If so, when they touch you, do you fall down and re- fuse to get up until somebody gives you a quarter? If you answered no to all these ques- tions, you ' re safe, but try to avoid pac- man machines. If you answered yes to just one, be careful and don ' t play pac-man for a week or two. If you answered yes to two questions, keep in mind that this could be habit forming. You need to stay away from pac-man for a month. If you an- swered yes to three or these questions, you ' re getting into the danger zone. Don ' t play pac-man for at least six months! If you answered yes to four of the five ques- tions, my heart bleeds for you, but don ' t give up hope. Stop playing pac-man for a year and consult your phychiatrist. If you answered yes to all five ques- tions, . . . yes, I am sorry to tell you, all hope is gonelll You ' ve got pac-man feverl 202 Eighth Grade pMfm Sclater. Joan Seaman. Gerald Laurence Seaman.

Not being able to participate in some school activities, getting lost in the 2nd floor maze of halls, and the ribbing about being the youngest are some of the bur- Class of 88 ' dens of the Class of 88 had to put up with. But for every disadvantage, there was an advantage such as being a member of the Middle School Student Council Associ- ation, a middle school dance, and being able to try out for cheerleading. Seventh graders also enjoy their time outside school by going skating on Friday night with their friends and enjoying foot- ball games and dances with upperclass- men. 206 Seventh Grade Some people think being short is bad. but I ' ll tell you how it is from a short per- son ' s point of view. Being short isn ' t that bad. Look at it this way, everybody knows you. If they haven ' t run over you in the halls or tripped over you on their way to the pencil sharpener then they have knocked you down on their way to lunch. On the other hand, some people over look you and all the jokes are over your head! So what, if the only dates you get are in the second grade, at least they are not too tall for you. One good thing about being short is that you look up to everyone. So don ' t look down on short people, pick em up and look em face to facel iSSHU ISA ' S Agee. Amy Ahrens. Hum Alford. Siephmc Allen.

Too soon, some say is the day you left. The smiles you brought escaped unnumbered. Yet we gained comfort in the knowledge that God knows best. Though we miss your laughter, and though graduation will hold two empty seats, you are with us. In spirit you will remain a part of us always. Jeffery Paul Colquett We the many friends you gathered in your all too brief stay, hold memories of you in the palm of our hand, tightly, to cherish. Good-bye now, and rest in peace, the same peace you carried with you and shared with so many in your wonderful days of life. Teresa Bondora Bryan Keith Edmonson Building Our School ' s Ladder of accomplishments could be another name for our school. Baker ' s stu- dents have had alot to contribute to the Mobile community. When the press wanted to know a stu- dent ' s feelings on the elongated school year who was chosen? Baker students. Not much of a year for athletic tri- umphs, but Baker came out fairly well in it ' s first year as a 4-A team. Striving and always pushing for excellence our teams worked together to create school spirit and pride. Speaking of school pride . . . When the Red Cross and the S.C.A. held it ' s annual blooddrive Baker had an over whelming and record breaking amount donated. The work elective is more of a basic to some creative students. Our band, R.O.T.C, Art and Drama departments al- ways presented the very best we had to offer, earning superior ratings wherever Hi!

As we all built our tremendous ladder we experienced new feelings of self pride and union, together. A year of changes, experiences and contributions ended with as much enthu- siasum as it began with. The 1982-83 school year taught students more than just the sense of books, but the sense of life. An accident which devastated the entire school, was a fatal car explosion, ending the lives of two outstanding sen- iors) Jeff Colquett and Brian Edmunson. Through it all our school held together. I or the school is NOT the building, the school is the people, whether faculty, adminis- tration, students, or support staff. These people of Baker High School made this year a memorable one.
