L Hanging Out in . In the morning, the worst place to find yourself when the homeroon bell rings is the hallways. It seems that ev- eryone waits until the last minute to get to homeroom, and you are no ex- ception. Usually your homeroom’s on the third floor and you are downstairs trying to get up. You find yourself be- hind a real slow poke, and no matter how much you step on his heels, he never goes any faster. By the time you’re almost to the room, the final bell rings and you start praying you have a sub that doesn’t know what the heck s going on. If this happens to you, you’re not alone. The worst problem Baker has got, besides smelly lockerrooms, is the hall- ways. Unless there is an epidemic, or Senior Skip Day the halls are usually very crowded. Maybe someday they could possibly widen the halls. Crowdedness in the halls does not a!- ways happen just because of the overpopulation, sometimes it happens .Im'.b'Lnf,dav’ ,hese Juniors walk because a group of friends decided to when you knock stop and talk in front of some stairs knock back anH , aside’ H and you’re trying to get from room the floor The ! u“ fmd yours«'f «1 206 to your locker then back to a cake is the CftP’?ble“ that kes fl study hall.

Side of Homecoming Pickard, and Paul Durkin. Seniors: Doug Shaver, Vinnie Lang, and Kevin Sheehan. (Above) Shown here, during the Pep Rally were the Mr. Legs candidates for Homecoming ’81. (Right) Homecoming Pep Rally saw Kevin Sheehan “crowned as the Mr. Legs '81. The winner of the Mr. Legs Contest was announced during the Pep Rally Friday. Cindy Pillans (Senior Class flirt) crowned Kevin Sheehan the Mr. Legs 1981. We’d like to congratulate all the guys for having enough guts to do it too! Another problem with the traditional Homecoming is only the guys can play in the football game. So this year, with John Nostrant organizing it, the first Powderpuff Football game was played the Sunday after Homecoming. The preseason favorite, the Seniors, (coached by Arc, their captain Kevin Sheehan) played the Juniors, who were coached by Mag, their captain Pete Rice. Surprisingly enough, many spec- tators came to watch the Juniors upset the Seniors, 20-12. Also included in the game, of course, were cheerlead- ers. The Senior guys dressed as cheer- leaders and the same for the Ju- niors. Many people believed that the cheerleaders stole the show, they did such a good job. All in all, the untraditional tradi- tions being the Mr. Legs and the football game, seem that they will become a very realistic part of the future, and also be very much re- membered as an important part of Homecoming.

The Halls Jim VanDuser and Chris Baney are happy to be on their way home after a long day. there’s the couple plastered onto your locker, making out. When you say ex- cuse me, they are so involved with oth- er things, you go onto class trying to figure out what excuse you’ll use this time for not having your homework. Another good time is when you find yourself face to face with someone go- ing in the opposite direction. You each try moving to either side, but it doesn’t work. You finally find yourself being pushed to one side and your books an- other. I’m sure I’m forgetting all kinds of things that happen in the hall. But these are the common incidents that occur in the hall. At his locker, Mike Houck finds a pleasent suprise, the camera. Student Life 23
