For all you do, This One's For You. That's right, the 1984 Lyre. It's all about you, and your school. For the students - working hard to meet your future goals. Studying for endless hours, and cramming at the last minute for all those dreaded exams. Knowing that in the end it will all be worth while. Many hours of practicing and working in our extra-curricular activities. Striving to be the best in what we do. Always hoping to excel and succeed, and learning how to accept defeat when we are not so successful. Working students, maintaining part-time jobs along with a busy school schedule, to earn extra spending money and save for college. Let us not forget weekends and vacation breaks, the best part of school year, when we have a chance to relax and party. During our high school years we have witnessed changing times such as: clothing styles; Calvin Kliens, Levi's, Nike, and the return of the mini skirt, preppie style, and classic look. The world of music has seen some of the following come and go: Rolling Stones, Kiss, lohn Lennon, Kenny Rogers, Led Zeppelin, Pat Benetar, Duran Duran, and the new wave of punk rock. Changes in our community and school: Pelcher Stadium, the new Anheuser Busch Brewery, Carl's Drugs, computers in the class room, Freshmen entering our school, and new athletic director, Leo Johnson, to succeed retiring Otis Senate. In life there are good times and bad times. Let us not forget those joyous occassions such as: the motorcade to Coyne Field, the victorious Homecoming game, and how about the day that you passed your driver's test, receiving your first paycheck, the exploding enthusiasm of school spirit, and receiving an A in class. During our years in high school, we have had occassions that were not as joyful. Such as: cleaning out your locker and finding your month old tuna fish sandwich, forgetting your locker combination, the defeated school budget, flunking an exam and or losing your homework, return of draft registration, lates to class, In- School Planning, receiving your first traffic violation, and being called on in class when you are the only one who doesn't know the answer. No doubt about it, school days are the best days of our lives. We appreciate the help given to us by the faculty, community, and fellow students. This book reflects our school days at Baker High School. For all you have done, for all you do, and for all you will do, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU! 2 Opening

StudentLifeStudentLife Student life . . . this one's for you. This section is all about you, the students of C.W. Baker High School. From summers and weekends to sports practice, after school jobs, pep rallies, friends, the path and lunchtime . . . there's something here for everyone. Student life is a look at how students spend their free time, the not-so-serious but important portion of their high school days. It's a time when we can let ourselves go and be with our friends . . . those ever important people who help us to determine what we'll do, where we'll go and what we'll wear, and without whom we'd never make it through a school day! Baldwinsville can proudly look at the many diverse talents and extracurricular activities of its students. High school is a big part of everyone's life. It is a time when we have friendships that we are absolutely certain will last forever, even though we know that others have left high school and allowed their friendships to gradually become less and less important in their lives. High school is a time to grow and mature as well as a time to believe in yourself ... to develop self-confidence and self- respect. Our student life and our school enthusiasm reflects the pride that we have in ourselves and our school. lanine Herbert, Sherry Littau, |ohn Lami- rande and Linda Cranston enjoy photo class. 4 Student Life Divider Laurie Sherman, a believer in the importance of a student participating in an active school life says, Its very important to be involved, because that's what high school is all about. Its not just all books, homework and going to class. High school will most assuredly create special and lasting memories that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. The friends we've made, the parties we've attended, the games for which we've cheered, the styles we've worn and the jobs we've squeezed in between studying for the physics exam and writing the term paper for College Prep English ... the memories of the best (and sometimes worst) of all these experiences will be ours forever. Sharon Martin, a sophomore expresses her opinion of Baker High School. This is my first year at Baker and I was really scared in the beginning. The teachers and the students are really nice here and helpful. There's so much school spirit, and I'm having a great time so far. Kim Loveless, a senior at Baker, tells of her involvement in the student life. My three years at Baker have been great, due to sports and the support of my friends and teachers. I've had my ups as well as downs, but I've learned a lot and hope it will pay off in the future. B'ville students —we're special! We have a pride in ourselves and our school that is unmatched by any other high school in the area. We're unique, we're proud, and we show it! jim Santmyer thinks about his weekend plans. -
