STEPPING un JL on’t say It! We already know. You’re going to say, “What’s our Lyre doing in blue and silver?” No, they didn’t send us Oswego’s year book, this year’s staff did it on purpose. This time we tried to make some changes that would set the 1982 Lyre apart from pre- vious classes. After all, the students at Baker this year have already set themselves apart from their predeces- sors. We’re just a little bit rowdier, funnier, crazier and a heck of a lot classier than ever before. And thus, we ar- rived at the theme you found written in silver, on the blue cover, that seemingly has nothing to do with Baker High School. Oh, but it does! And here for the first time in Lyre his- tory, the people who thought up the theme are going to explain themselves. Every Lyre has always had a theme. Don’t feel bad if you didn’t know, because if you did, chances are you don’t remember what any of them were anyways. Last year’s was “Go and Get It” or something like that. Three years ago it was ... we couldn’t re- member, but chances are it was a rather exciting rendi- tion of the last few years. In case you haven’t noticed, Lyre themes of the past have followed a curious pattern of saying the same things, using different words. This year we decided not to honor tradition. In search of a new, exciting and relevent theme we all parked our cars on Cindy Pillan’s lawn and gathered in her 40’ x 40’ livingroom to start brainstorm- ing. We came up with about sixty themes. We thought up every theme possible with the words Bees or Baker in it. Some of them were kind of funny. Others of them “TOUCHDOWN!” Baldwinsville scores against Liverpool! 2 Opening which came about after the meeting got a little out of hand, we really should not print. Needless to say, we put a lot of thought into choosing our theme. We’ve come a long way from themes like “We’ve Only Just Begun” and “Footprints in the Sand of Life.” You are going to find a lot of changes in this year’s Lyre. We know you’ve heard that before, but it’s true this year. You Seniors aren’t in front any more and you may have to look around for your quotes. Juniors and Sophomores, for the first time you get equal coverage with the Seniors. There are new, and we think better, sections to give you a view of what you do in and out of school. Baker High School is beginning to be recognized as both the academic and athletic prowess that it is. We ’ve got teachers and students to show for it. We’ve tried to give you a glimpse at just some of the people that make Baker what it is. This yearbook and the people which it represents are all “STEPPING UP IN STYLE”. UP IN
