Charles W Baker High School - Lyre Yearbook (Baldwinsville, NY)

 Come On Along When students were asked what they remembered most about 1983 the usual reply was Nothing much. Most students did not realize though that 1983 was a year for good times along with some disappointments. Hopefully we will remind you of the fun times, the tears and the many changes we have gone through. Follow us through the pages of the yearbook and see; Homecoming 1982, the Powder Puff football game; the rehearsals for My Fair Lady; the Juniors mug sale; Mr. Arcaro eating lunch; the girls championship Cross-Country team; the winning football game against Fulton; the workers of P C and Burger King; public speaking and health; clubs and even pep rallies. You will also find things outside of school which have an effect on the students at Baker. There was the Falkland Island Crisis; Tylenol poisonings which didn't stop Baldwinsville's Halloween; punk rockers, new wave and preppies ; Reaganomics; the Who in Syracuse; unemployment and cuts in student loans; and the drinking age changed to nineteen. Stop and read about your best friend, neighbor, art teacher, princi- ple, your soccer team; see what our clubs have done, who's participating and what activities they did, for our school and com- munity. See what some of our stu- dents are doing at Boces; or during studyhalls and lunches. Find our what students really do when they go to the library, besides research and who's wasting time in the nurse's office or in guidance. See what our students do between the time they enter school and leave at 2:20. Take a minute and look for that picture you thought no one would see. You know the one, it was taken when you weren't looking; the one where you just found out you got your fourth late or found out you got your computer program right. How about the one when you found out there was only half a day of school. No mat- ter what your expression, happy or sad, no matter what the picture your best or worst, you will find it here. So Come On Along, and see a day; a year; see our spirit and pride; our students and staff COME ON ALONG through 83' ' 2 Opening Not in any rush to enter the school, these students hang around out front before the bell rings.
