Marie Carter seems to Kave a good time hanging out at the beach. Patty Wynn had a nice summer spend- ing her time with Jamie Jones. If you didn’t see Joe Mautz very much last summer, it’s because he spent his time on his boat. Nancy Neilson, Jill Sanderson, Kathy Murphy, Carol Brady, Becky Maurer, Tammy Hall during the summer. I think the same goes for many people. When I asked people what the things are that they did, that many other people didn’t do, I received interesting an- swers: went to summer school, ran 1000 miles, rode my bike across the state, learned to drive, rode a horse across the Montana Mountains, hiked, etc . . . the list goes on. Summer vacation isn’t a total loss, some people had fun. Some! I took a survey on what a BHS student did, the most com- mon activity was sunbathing. Personally, I think people who lie in the sun and bake are asking for trouble, but a lot of people really enjoy it. Another popular activity was swim- ming. And then I asked those people what job they wished they had. Lifeguarding was the ideal job. Funny, when I asked a lifeguard if he considered himself lucky, he said no. I guess no one is happy all the time. But, as a summary, I have to admit, the majority of people did enjoy their summer. And why not? There’s NO home- work! Lori lannicello takes a break in bathing to check out to see how she’s cooking. Looks pretty good Lori! Summer 13

Bumming?! Through the Summer 12 Student Life Terri Hulchanski is one of those people who love to spend their time getting a tan. Nancy Nagle and Deb Davis try to stay cool during one hot summer day. W hen you ask any BHS stu- dent what his favorite time of the year is, he will automatically say. “Summer vacation.” But when you ask that same person again, during the summer, he will respond, “The school year, mainly September.” It’s funny how people are like that. I guess nobody is happy all of the time. Summer vacation is anything you want it to be. I know a girl who went to Paris, France this past summer. I think of the exciting time she must have had, and I begin to think how dull I must be, because my most excit- ing time was visiting Grandma in Oswego. Wow! But the majority of Baker students have the same kind of summers as their friends do. Sometimes boring, a couple of days exciting, and the rest The track team decided to start the sum- mer with a swim party at S. Shendes. boring. An exciting summer consists of going to Fair Haven Beach for a picnic or, you guessed it, parties. But other than that, the typical Baker High stu- dent spends his time moping around, counting the days until school starts again. Ya-hoo! Summer jobs are another good part of summer. Many people have dif- ferent types of summer jobs. Work- ing in a store, to working in a kitch- en, and working with kids, to working with old folks, are a few examples. Sometimes I think if it weren’t for my summer job, I would have gone completely nuts. —

It’s more than an Even Exchange. It’s The Foriegn (above) Ramon poses for the camera with the Board of Educa tion behind him. That a way Ramon! (left) Ramon and Carlos are both Spanish-speaking foreign ex- change students. Carlos from Mexico, Ramon—Paraguay. (bottem) Ramon played soccer this year with our soccer team. In Paraguay, he also played on a team. n September 9, 1981, four new and unique stu- dents took their First Steps into C.W. Baker High School. “Who are they and where are they from?” echoed throughout the halls in September. Well, they are foreign exchange students who spend time abroad in another coun- try outside of their own. Finland, Germany, Mexico, and Paraguay are the homes of Rauni, Frank, Carlos, and Ramon. One of them spoke German, while two others ram- bled on in Spanish, but still they understood each other. They were each totally different, yet wore the same shoes. They were alone in a strange land—until WAALAH! Mr. Coleman appeared. With warmest welcome C. W. Baker says, “Hola!”
