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. Sponsor was Mrs. Dupree. SCA officers Suzanne Simmons and Rey Toole, take time out from Homecoming ' s busy schedule. SCA sponsor Mrs. Dupree. discusses the future fund raising plans. 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.
