GIVE TAKE One of the advantages of attending Baker High School is having the opportunity to meet many interesting people. Along with high school comes high school sweethearts. Sweethearts play an important role in the social lives of the students. They go to dances, football games, movies, and parties. Some couples like to go out with a group of people while others take time out to spend with each other. An important benefit is that it teaches people how to care for one another. Sue Horton, a senior, says “With every relationship comes added responsibility and maturity. I believe couples benefit from having someone to share problems, and talk with, and they have each other to look forward to. After school Is over, Andy Bender and Suzette Allen stay after for a few minutes together. Also a senior, Claudine Pompo says, “I think a boyfriend—girlfriend relationship is super, but only if they get along really well. They can add a lot of fun and memorable times into each other’s high school lives and may even continue into their adult lives.” Besides the boyfriend girfriend view of couples, there are many girls and guys who are just very close friends. They can confide in each other for help with any problems that they may have. Some prefer this type of relationship since it is not as serious. No matter which you seek, romance or friendship, boys and girls can receive valuable experience in dealing with other people and their feelings by having these sort of relationships during their high school years.

LET’S GO CRAZY Three days prior to the homecoming ;game many students and community I residents doubted whether the i homecoming game would be played as ; planned. Why? Because the stadium lights were still not up. As the day I grew closer, rumors of a Saturday i afternoon game were heard. However, , on Friday night at Pelcher Stadium the ! brand new lights were ready for action. Action is what Pelcher Stadium was all about Friday night as the Bees took on the Oswego Bucs. Despite cloudy i skies and a cool temperature, the j game began as planned, at 7:30, and at halftime B’ville was trailing 7-0. The homecoming queen candidates, nominated by fall sports and clubs, ' entered the field with their escorts. Margaret Stevens was awarded homecoming queen, Valerie Prysiazniuk was voted princess, Vivian Prysiazniuk took the dutchess title and freshman Karen Hebblethwaite was chosen countess. Although the rain started to fall, the marching band performed their entire field show and kept the crowd’s minds off the uncooperative weather. As the third quarter began, the stands resembled a sea of umbrellas rooting their team to victory. The Bees scored two short run touchdowns to pull ahead 14-7. The final sting to the Bucs was a trick play by the Bees to end the game 21-7. On to the homecoming dance to celebrate the victory. Some of the highlights of the dance included the “twist” dance contest and enormous chorus line. The night was definitely one to remember. The next big event was the marching band competition held at Pelcher Stadium, Saturday night. A crowd of 6,000 attended the show. The well rehearsed performances made the show a huge success. The final homecoming event held on a rainy Sunday, was the annual powderpuff football game. The seniors once again defeated the juniors 6-0. The entire weekend demonstrated the great spirit of B’ville. Sue Stanley Diane Olejarz Getting rowdy at the Homecoming game, wearing red and white, and with painted faces are W. Earle, D. Hutton, C.
