The Greater Gulf State Fair With the coming of hall there are two events which reach Baker ' s students. 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.

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.
