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. Baker drama students give their version of Danc- ing In The Streets . Jim Porter feels good all under ! Scott Slocum. Allen Carroll, and Terri Talton show that Seniors act it better.

Varsity Cheerleaders Baker ' s 1982-83 varsity cheerleaders consisted of ten girls who worked togeth- er for the same goal. This goal was to be the best cheerleader squad, to lead stu- dents and parents in sports functions to the best of their abilities, and to bring a good attitude into the crowd. 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. Cheerleaders Coming Out On Top Without the enthusiasm of the J.V. cheerleaders to cheer the Hornet ' s on, where would they be? The 1982-83 group consisted of Captain, Angie Malloryi Co-Captain, Kelly Shef- field-, Dara Wimpee, Ashley Foreman, Kim Cook, Kelly Collins, Dawn Partain, Tracey Howell, Kim Keenum, Stephanie Smith, Amy Mallory, Tanya Mills, and Kristy War- ren. The girls, sponsored by Mrs. Beth Hayes, participated in fund raisers such as the selling of balloons during the Home- coming football game, and car washes. In August, the cheerleaders attended a National Cheerleading clinic at U.S.A. Dur- ing the four nights of evaluation, they were judged on spirit, smiles, gymnastic and cheering abilities, and togetherness. They proudly received 4 first place rib- bons, and also a spirit stick. These girls not only did well at clinic but were alsc awarded a first place trophy in a U.S.A Cheeroff they attended this year.
