The first man who carefully fitted his shaped stone to a split shaft took step one in a long procession of problem solving. Step by step, man has controlled the controllable. And recorded it. Past successes are foundations for man’s increasingly complex edifice of ideas. Aristotle defined an atom; Einstein theorized on the atom; Fermi split it.

We learn from PEOPLE—from teachers, advisors, classmates.

PEOPLE give us insights, attitudes. A We learn a lot from PEOPLE. Whitman said, “There was a child went forth everyday, and the first object he looked upon . . . that object he became. So does every person we are acquainted with become a part of us: our best friend, our worst foe. casual acquaintances, teachers, relatives, and even old lady so-and-so. Raker High School is the center of the students’ social life. Here he Being “social creatures” makes it impossible for us to survive in our society unless we can get along with others. By examining intelligence, aptitude, and preference tests scores as well as by personal interviews, guidance counselors help each B.H.S. student in planning his future. grows by taking a part of everybody he knows. The more people he knows, the “larger” he grows, and the happier he may be. PEOPLE give us thoughts, attitudes, and points of view. B. H. S. is the center of our thought-gathering, and the PEOPLE at Baker High School are the principal thought-givers. 5 PLACES stimulate students’ minds Take a c 1ke of yeast. Put it in a warm, moist, dark place. Immediately swelling, expanding, growing, multiplying, the yeast takes on new life. Just three environmental changes produce this tremendous metamorphosis. Take a Baker High student. Put him in a modern or traditional classroom. Instantaneously growing, learning, developing the student also, like the yeast, takes on new perspective, new growth, new shape. Some campuses are elaborate, with build- ings reminiscent of le Corbusier or Frank Lloyd Wright. Not so Baker. The buildings are everyday, ordinary, commonplace: but within them, the yeast of learning is busy, leavening the minds, the insights, the attitudes of 1500 individuals. These individuals are not commonplace— they are the future. Baker High School is a myriad of PLACES . . . places which stimulate students’ minds, spur thoughts, open windows. More important than the new cheers, pep talks and at the 2:30 pep rally and boils over at game time. “Rock” is the unification of spirit which brews up 6 ' hether inside the gym or out the mphasis is the same—intense con- entration on physical fitness. We loam to keep score in volleyball; we learn the basics of basketball; we learn to tell “birdie from “no ” From cheerleader tryouts to the annual spring play the auditorium is the locale for learning, laughter, and decision. At athletic activities, good sportsmanship can be learned both on the playing field and in the stands. Three housewives of the future learn their culinary arts in the domestic atmosphere of the Home Economics building. 7 Since the best way to become handy with tools is to use them, the Industrial Arts teacher cncour-ages much practical application of tools. Knowledge devolves from THINGS. “I will make a list ... of lovely things to hold in memory.” Baker High school is more than a cluster of buildings on a given plot: it is a typewriter in B-2, a sewing machine in C-l, a novel in the library, a spring balance in C-2, a volleyball in the gym, the drivers’ education car, and a string-and-chalk compass in G-3 or G-5. The professional baseball player of tomorrow boosts his batting average by spending hours upon hours at the bat; prospective brides learn the fine art of cake baking through many hours in home economics over the mixing bowl; up and coming business executives learn the tricks of their trade at the typewriter, the adding machine, the shorthand pad, the file cabinet; the future scientist is intrigued by paramecium, potassium reactions, and pendulums. Knowledge is gained through experience —experience with typewriters, sewing machines, books, balances, balls and bats, French horns, slide rules. Knowledge is the final product of direct contact with things: THINGS at Baker High School are important. In class we learn to observe: the simplest things most intrigue the observer.... From books we learn how things advanced from the primal wheel to the complexity of today’s computer. 8 The more you play a musical instrument the more awesome it becomes. 9 Mastery of business machines in high school can be profitable in later life. A great deal of satisfaction comes from creating things. •An'1 i w« i ■i ir KJ I’OH I V 4, I'm 7H £ Ttr-tu 7 •7 4 - i Administration is the nerve center of BHS. - ABOVE: Coordinatinjr sixty-six teachers and 1500 students, Mrs. Bond and Mr. Simmons spend much time with conferences in scheduling. BEI.OW: Each morning Mr. Simmons checks the campus to make certain the school is ready for another day. Supervision of instruction—the administration’s primary role at Baker High. Because of the administrators’ expert manipulating, each day runs smoothly. But have you “ever really” looked at what administrators do during each “work” day? Their various behind the scenes chores run from ordering supplies and approving work orders to handling discipline problems and supervising athletic programs, from planning assemblies to meeting with the faculty. Aside from these daily jobs, they supervise an in-service training program for teachers, which holds bi-monthly meetings. As the originators of the National Honor Society Breakfast and the school calendar, they add the sparkle which makes BHS different from other schools in this area. As part of the citizenship program, which all the principals in the parish are supporting, the Key Clubbers went to a board meeting in Jackson, Mississippi, and Student Council officers attended a meeting in Lafayette. Mr. Simmons, a hunting and fishing enthusiast, works with the family court. Dr. Landry, the father of four boys, received his Doctorate of Education from the University of Georgia last August. Mrs. Bond, who enjoys raising cattle and riding horses, has been guidance counselor at Baker High for nine years, to top off many earlier years of teaching at BHS. 12 LEFT: Aside from such jobs as supervising the senior class sponsors. signing orders for tests, and keeping the school keys. Dr. Landry orders supplies and books. BELOW: Much of Mrs. Bond’s time is taken up by the supervision of standardized tests. Mrs. Bond gives the direction for taking the NEDT test to tenth graders. •ifflHIUfflUMW The public address system is a handy way of talking to all the students at the same time. Mr. Simmons announces that Mr. MacKey’s and Mrs. Randall’s homerooms have won the candy sale. An important part of the administrator’s job is conferences with students and teachers. Dr. Landry discusses with Mrs. Hunt and Mrs. Cardwell (not shown) improvements for the foreign language labs. 13 Faculty renders valuable services. Teachers — like people everywhere — come in all shapes, in all sizes — and in all flavors. A teacher is known by what he teaches — but also by what he does, what he likes, and what he loathes. “Tell me his d’ruthers,” says the amateur psychologist, “And I’ll tell you the man.” (And then there’s that school of psychologists who need only a favorite flower as key — and they’ll unravel the whole personality.) Be this as it may. It’s debatable that the “essence” of a person can be extrapolated from any one facet of personality — but a bit of flavor might come through. We include a hobby, or a happenstance, or a bit of hoo-ray by each teacher’s name, like a novelist rounding-out a character by showing his other side. Mr. Faucette is obviously indulging in the teacher’s main job — to teach, but this is by far not the only one. Charles Abbott — Speech I, II ...

Secretaries keep things going. Man does not live by bread alone — nor do schools run without “oil on the wheels.” The oil to keep things rolling smoothly is supplied by those indispensable people who keep track of everything — the secretaries, receptionists, clerks. Do you need to know where to order school letters, or sweaters, or such? Ask Mrs. Allday; she’ll have the address on file. Want to check yesterday’s absentee sheet? Ask Mrs. Wilkins; she made the report. Have to know which books the library has on order? Ask Mrs. Barrow; she typed up the list. Teachers’ clerical summaries, requests, and reports pour onto the desks of these three people. Fortunately, they’re on the job to handle such inundations. Among her various activities. Mrs. Allday reviews the check out book, always keeping her finger on the 1500 students — a difficult job, as anyone would know who has tried to keep up with just one student. Mrs. Elizabeth Allday — School secretary ... painted the outside wood trim of her house last summer. Mrs. Eva Harrow — Library clerk ... loves to sew ... active in civic affairs — especially the Carnival Ball. Mrs. Betty Wilkins — School secretary ... attended school at LSU during the summer. 19 Reviewing for the mid-term cxnm or just evaluating out the semester. Donnie Walker thumbs through the progress you’ve made in English is much easier a half-year’s worth of tests and essays he has built if your teacher has kept a file of your work through- up in English III. English students at BHS pursue adjectives, verbals, nominative absolutes—and Macbeth. To write clearly and concisely, one must first learn the mechanics of the language. Here Mrs. Cudd’s English 8 class does an exercise on commas. Kenny Sandifer knows that understanding poetry is understanding life. Ralph Smith finds that dictionaries are very helpful in filling in the praps in his vocabulary. Students search library shelves assiduously to turn up the book that’s “just right!” Focus on little Susie, fresh from Bakersfield, Whitehills, Brownsfield, or Baker Heights. She now sits in English class in the fourth desk, second row from the windows in room six of the junior high building. Susie works on improving her reading, to be able to comprehend books like A Wrinkle In Time. She reviews grammatic concepts in the eighth grade, to better understand why she can’t say “It’s me.” After reading David Copperfield in the ninth, she goes to the tenth and Julius Caesar. Her English III teacher throws the spotlight on American literature, while her English IV teacher focuses upon English literature, ranging from Beowulf to Dylan Thomas. By the time “big” Susie graduates, she should know something about reading, writing, speaking, and listening to our Language — English — a life long challenger. Reading literature prepares Mrs. Montegudo’s classes for more advanced work in English. 23 LEFT: Ever see bulletin-board makers with zip, Evelyn Grimmer, and Karen llock. RIGHT: Roy zing, and zazz? Take a gander at these enthusiasts Summers takes a closer look at a plantation house —Tommy Robinson, Laura Kopp, Sarah Cockerham, built by an eighth grade Louisiana history student. Variety adds spice ABOVE: Who says reading a newspaper is as easy as it sounds. Mr. Garland explains that facts have to be separated from opinion for a true picture of a news item. BELOW: Howard Williams finds Greg Newman’s interpretation of an article concerning foreign aid agrees with his own. to social studies. “When in the course of human events it becomes necessary . . for students at Raker to take a course in social studies, most don’t mind at all, for films, demonstrations, lectures, discussions, special programs, projects, and other “extras,” make social studies really swing. If you happen to see a seventh or eighth grader walking around with a box of cotton balls, don’t think anything of it. He is just working on a bulletin board for American History or a project for Louisiana History. Ever been in a “geography bee?” That is just one of the “extras” included in world geography. Others include viewing slides, making special reports, and constructing maps. Civics and American government — sociology students learn as they discuss current events, movies, modern television programs, and political parties. You may not think medieval music swings, but World History students are quick to find the beat in the twelfth century “Play of Daniel.” Solid facts—the bedrock of any social study—become concepts in the minds of students at Baker High, through the embellishment of fancy—fancy which serves to “fix” the fact in a mental firmament. 2« Brenda Bounds, in her World History class, hesitates in order to check the volume as she puts on a record of medieval music. To prepare a panel discussion takes plenty of time. After school, as Mr. Burgett and Mr. Stephens look on, Baker students agrue the pros and cons of using American troops in Vietnam for the televised discussion on American Youth Speaks.” The speaker’s rostrum looks like an old friend to Mr. John Ellis, who presented salient points on the values of patriotism at the Legion’s Americanism Program. Filling out studv guides may not be as much fun as participating in geography bees”, but Dusty McIntosh finds it very helpful at test time. 25 Math courses range in complexity from arithmetic to trigonometry. Girls: Have you ever thought about being a housewife and buying groceries? Roys: Have you ever thought about guiding missiles through space? Well, while some of the math courses at BHS teach the math necessary for managing a house, others provide a gateway to the exciting science of space flight. Yes, students! All those dreaded trips to the black- board to explain your “version” of the problem provide the necessary concepts for future home use and future space flights. Class discussions and demonstrations used by teachers prove to the students why math works. These methods of teaching help students retain what they have learned. These classes are for one main purpose: to prepare you for the future. “Did you say ‘protractor’?” says Georgiana Davis in an incredulous tone. (After all what seventh grader ever heard of a “protractor” before!) Mrs. rown patiently explains what magic the little measuring tool can perform, so with time. Georgiana will become reconciled to both its name and its use. The compass—an essential tool for geometry students—is utilized by Charlotte Walls as she demonstrates to .lane Berry the technique of its use in a construction problem. Mrs. Wilkes watches as Barbara Martinez works an Algebra problem for the class. 26 Gayle Johnson finds that some math problems require not only a knowledge of math, but also common sense. Mike Kopp shows his skill in Trig. Debby Meares gets help from Mr. her seventh grade math class how Payne while she demonstrates to to use a number line. Reviewing returned tests helps students learn by their errors. 27 B.H.S. science classes snowball Science is snowballing — from the first scientific milestone (the invention of the wheel) to the latest (the many orbits of Gimini 6). This indomitable snowball, as prolific as a fruit fly, forms not one enormous mass called “science,” but an astronomical number of “sciences” called zoology, metallurgy, electronics, oceanography — to infinity! Just as this snowball gets constantly bigger and increasingly specialized, so does Baker High’s science department go from Louis Wilkinson wonders how electrolysis can separate water into two teases, hydrogen and oxygen. generalities to specifics. With three years’ background of “general science” (a bit of every—ology and —graphy) comes an understanding of our solar system, our earth, our flora and fauna, and ourselves. Onward to specificity—to dissection of frogs in biology, to diatomic molecules in chemistry, and finally to disintegration constants in physics. Science courses at Baker are among the most challenging, because the student learns by experimentation—proving to himself and for himself the laws of nature. Howard Chancy and Bruce Bcateau find that understanding the rotation of the earth on its axis and the subsequent change from day to night is not hard, when its is demonstrated. As part of her Science Fair Exhibit, De De Pugh demonstrates how a submarine floats, while her Looking at microscopic organisms with a micro-projector gives classmates watch. biology students a more complete understanding of microbes. 28 The inclined plane presents a confusing problem to physics students —Ronnie Baily, Curtis MeGrew, Philip Hagan, and Woody Felps. Dyan Laird and Elizabeth Taylor discuss what apparatus is needed for the experiment testing the reaction of potassium with water. Kenny Sandifer. Darlene Seguin, and Johnny Wales know that the best way to learn the properties of hydrogen is through laboratory experiments. Using X-rays, one of the miraculous discoveries in medicine, Mr. Bacot lectures on bone structure and on bone fractures. 29 Bobby Tourere adds the finishing touches to a still life done in chalk, just one of the many forms of art he has produced. The fine arts cultivate creativeness. Speaking extemporaneously, Neil Lloyd, Susan Cox, John Davis, Tom Stewart, Tommy McVea. Glenda King, Tonee Tyler, and Randy Cox discuss some of the problems of compulsory arbitration. “Fine Arts” cover a wide range of subjects: impressive speaking, angelic singing, mellifluous music making, and creative drawing. It aids the student in developing his artistic abilities and his creative imagination for his future life. In both chorus and band, the teacher tries to expose the students to the greatest possible amount of good music, awakening an interest in and appreciation for such music. From a knowledge of methods of acting, the speech student proceeds to the portraying of Emily in Our Town. By being aware of the principals of design, the art student works out a cover for this year’s handbook. Chorus, band, speech, and art hold hands to make up that four-leaf clover — the “Four Lively Arts.” 30 The high school chorus, directed by Mrs. Majorie Blocker, expresses in song what Christmas really means to them at the annual Christmas program produced by the fine arts department. Gerald Cotten and Brenda Hines find that learning to play the piano, in addition to singing, is one of the enjoyable “extras” offered in chorus. It’s not as easy as it may seem to do two things at once—play an instrument and march; many long and strenuous hours go into an effort of trying to learn how to march and maneuver properly on the field. Under the direction of Mr. Griffen, the band ranks very high among the other bands in the state. 31 Tyro typists Powell Butler, Chuck Brashicr, Geary tune of ‘’Stars and Stripes Forever”, to improve V’ance, Susan Brown, Neil Loyd, Beth Wisdom, their speed, and Karen Jewell “beat” their typewriters to the Office amateurs turn pro. “I.B.M.!” “Computers!” “Teletypers!” These are just a few of the new devices now used in modern offices. Baker students have an excellent chance to be efficient when working in such offices as secretaries, typists, stenographers, clerks, and ultimately executives, because of several courses offered giving insights into operating procedures of such machines. Typing, bookkeeping, office practice, Business English, and shorthand are the courses emphasized at Raker to enable us to combine accuracy with speed when doing office work. Practice in skills needed and experience in using correct forms are stressed: in short, Raker’s business department gives students a good foundation on which to build success in this world of machines . . . machines . . . machines . . machines . . . and more machines ! Talk about learning a foreign language! None can compare to the complications of shorthand. Mrs. Roberts' class focuses on her explanations, hopeful of remembering every word she says. 32 Roth speed and accuracy are important in typing, as Donna Smith can testify. Which is the debit; which the credit? This is one of the many things business students like Linda Corona learn through making journals. Nonnah Smith checks out Karen Highsmith, one of the myriad tasks of an office worker. Experiencing typical office atmosphere is profitable. Shorthand is a phonetic language that begins with learning different characters for the alphabet, as well as brief forms for common words, and gradually advancing to words. Practice and precision are necessary to master this language of the business world. One of the most useful helps in learning a foreign language is the language lab. Here Miss Cardwell shows Becky Nicholson how to “tune in.” French students put their knowledge of conjugation, pronunciation, and sentence structure into use in the lab, where they become fluent with one of the most feminine of romance languages—French. Languages open avenues of adventure. Part of any foreign language course is learning the history and customs of the people as well as their language. Here Buddy Brown and Brady McDaniel discuss a Spanish cathedral in Madrid. Take a look at Henry Jones of Baker-tangoing in Cadiz, wandering down Paris boulevards, sunning on the white sands of the Riviera, serenading a lovely senorita, watching a group of flamenco dancers ( how can one guy be so lucky?) How did Henry rate these adventures? When the CIA called, Henry was ready. The entrance examination required a background in languages, which Henry had received in high school. He had learned the basics of both French and Spanish through “six easy methods”: tapes, literature books, dialogues, lab work, reading and writing exercises. How did he know his way around the Paris boulevards, or know what to wear while serenading? He knew through having learned the history and customs of French and Spanish speaking people, and the geography of their countries. Be like Henry: Prepare for foreign fields through language classes at Baker High School. Two phases are involved in a language course; learning to interpret the foreign sounds in sound and in print, and learning to use these foreign sounds in speaking and in writing. Here in the French lab, students practice comprehension and vocalization by responding to dialogues. Spanish is more than conjugations, declintions, definitions, customs, and history; it as a spoken language. Linda improves her pronunciation through recitation of dialogues. , Dyan Laird and Theresa Davis find that modeling is fun, especially when one has created his own outfit. Robert Watson discovers through experience that it takes more than a hammer and a saw to make a gun rack. Diverse subjects yield diverse profits. Patty Taylor and Carlos Newman find that tasting the candy helps in deciding if anything was left out. 36 The individual himself is the target of home economics, industrial arts, and drivers educations. The teacher aims at providing specific tasks, tasks that challenge every person in our society. The Home Economics Building from the the outside looks very normal and quiet, but behind these two doors a whole new world opens; one not only of learning, but also of fun. The girls learn such things as sewing, cooking, being mannerly, and caring for children. Behind those doors, girls become competent homemakers and responsible young ladies and citizens. In the Industrial Arts Building are many different types of machines which help the boys learn different skills-making leather belts, constructing gun racks, preparing blueprints, developing photographs. Don’t be surprised if you see a trailer around school; it’s just the new simulator for driver’s education. With the help of the simulator and the drivers education car, Baker students become some of the better defensive teenage drivers on the road today. No matter which vocation the student chooses these three courses will be of great value. ►- Pauline Foreman finds that the safest way to learn how to drive is in the realistic atmosphere of a simulator. Douglas Simpson thinks that melting metals is more fun than it is work. Completely absorbed in her work, Becky Adams, using a simple piece of material, creates a stylish outfit. 37 The future belongs to the fit In their physical education classes, junior boys learn the fundamentals of good basketball. The past several years have erupted in an explosion of “forced marches” throughout the country. On weekends, students from northern colleges have marched over all kinds of terrain in all kinds of weather in an attempt to better the time records set by students from southern colleges on 50-mile-hikes. These marches show an interest apparent on the American scene: let’s get physically fit! You can bet we’re on a “kick” — a “fit” kick! Here at Raker the P.E. coaches teach the importance of physical fitness. By participating in the specified games and exercises, students ..tone up muscles for the tests that try our fitness even more than a 50-mile hike can do. Physical education students like Donna Boyd and Paula Mouton soon learn that one game of box hockey puts blisters on unaccustomed hands. After six weeks of recreational tin both agree that shufflcboard 33 Mike Spruell works out daily in order to heighten his twelve foot vault to twelve feet-six inches.

Participating in the exercises designated by the coaches loosens up tense muscles and adds to the strength of R.II.S. boys. 39 Covered walks—the favorite haunts of Bake rites are thick with Seniors '66 from morning to afternoon. This daily congregation. Curtis McGrew, Genie Richard, Martha Pugh, Mike Spruell, Bobbie Jo Smith, Fay Bailey, and Sharon Boyd, discuss anything from Mr. Bezct’s physics test to the Baker verus Istrouma basketball game.

The greatest kids in the U.S.A.” A homogenious group (all seniors) gather in Mrs. McDowell’s room to boost their morale. The disadvantage of a sprawling school, to Senior Herbert Martin’s dismay, is that walking from class to class is sometimes a regular perigrenation.

Karen Jewell and Linda Black decide who will make the best officers. While Mr. Blocker sponsored the American Heritage Tour, Steve Hicks taught his American Government classes for him as a student teacher. Senior days are filled with ordering: personal cards, measuring for cap and grown, and applying: for scholarships. Mercer Riche, an annual staffer, helps Brenda Myrick make an all-important decision— which proof she should buy. The morning devotional, the pledge of allegiance to the flag and a silent prayer over the public address system, which initiates every BHS day, is led usually by a senior, today by Senior Linda Barrow. Richard Browne Janene Browning Brenda Burdette Evelyn Byrd Wade Byrd Mary Campanile Ronnie Canady Doyle Canfield Jerome Carlock Bessie Cossels Barbara Causey Linda Causey 45 This page of senior pictures—the “C's”—is one which has a heartrending omission: the cap and gown portrait of Cheryl Costello. Cheryl has been such an important factor in the life of this class that to graduate with her at home seems impossible. However, perhaps in one sense, the class will not graduate without her, since there on the edge of everyone’s thoughts, and tucked into some small corner of everyone’s heart, sits a vital image of Cheryl, and each senior on graduation night will carry this image down the aisle with him. Sue Wilson hands Hoary Bradford a mortarboard: this dressing up comes early in the year, when senior picture-taking is at hand—but seniors enjoy the whiff of graduation-night excitement it brings.

Nancy Mixon, and Sue Wilson, delegates to Leadership Conference, listen intently as Jnnis Rodriguez practices her evaluation speech for the grand finale — the banquet. Since each president or editor has his own responsibilities, it is seldom that we see them at the some meeting. On one of these rare occasions. Buddy Middleton explains Key Club plans for the Leadership Banquet. Who’s Who hits all-time high at BHS. Each year Baker students receive their share of honors, but this year, we have hit an all-time high. It used to take only two pages to feature ‘‘out of school” honors in Who’s Who, but now it takes four full pages. The section is not larger because BHS students are better this year than last. It’s just that more have been discovered! Because we have no magical measuring stick for ascertaining the abilities of our students, we depend upon the dictates of experts in various fields. The students in this sections are the students who were judged outstanding. Pelican Starters reacted with mixed emotions to their nine days at Louisiana State University. One compared Pelican State to riding a merry-go-round — fast and furious, but fun and quite an experience. During their stay in the mythical fifty-first state. Baker representatives built bridges, dams, zoos, introduced bills, wrote histories, and prepared reports, just as real government officials do. They returned to ‘‘normal life” with blisters, dark circles, and a trophy (Sarah Johnson won as “Best Entertainer” in the talent show). Each one of us has his own ideas as to what college will be like. In June ’65 four BUS students — Sammy Dyer, Nancy Mixon, Janis Rodiguez, and Sue Wilson — found out through first-hand experience by attending the annual Leadership Conference held each summer at L.S.U. For two weeks they lived on campus and attended two-three hour classes each day in journalism, and library science. Pelican Starters Sarah Johnson, Doug Furr, Greg Newman, Matt Ellis, and Nancy Mixon discuss the projects their cities carried out. 49 Two attend LSU’s first College Day In British schools, the most outstanding students are awarded an accolade at the end of the term; it it call a “first.” Classmates, speaking in an excited tone, ask each other “Did you get a ‘first ?” And even in America, being first in important. Two Baker High students recently participated in a “first” of a different sort; Nancy Mixon and Jim Keller went to LSU to the first universitywide College Day on the campus. Delegated from our school, these two went to classes in engineering, college math, English, chemistry, and physics. In addition to being chosen as Baker’s College Day representative, Jim received the Bausch and Lomb science award for the second consecutive year. It is therefore no surprise that he plans to major in engineering and electronics. Nancy Mixon was one of the twelve from East Baton Rouge Parish honored by Optimist Club an honor which requires “beau-coup” participation in affairs of school, church, community, and family. And Nancy is a participator-par-excellence! So interested in so many things is she, she hasn’t paused to consider a choice of career—just so it’s challenging! Buff staff, one of the many activities for which Nancy was chosen Optimist Club honoree, includes cropping pictures, drawing lines on the back of a picture to fit it to an alloted space. Before going to L. S. U. for participation in College Day, Nancy and Jim look over their schedule and discuss plans for transportation. Using the Geiger Counter, Jim Keller, winner of the Bausch and Lomb science award for two consecutive years, tests the radioactivity of radium, cobalt 60, and uranium. 95 LEFT: On their way to an impromptu meeting of Baker Youth Council representatives, junior representative Beth Venable and sophomore representative Patricia Ory pause to answer a question for freshman representative Sherry Wales.

BHS represented locally and nationally. During the days when America was still an English colony, it was not uncommon to hear a good citizen of Boston or Jamestown complaining about “taxation without representation.’' Baker High School students, however, have no complaints about their representation, for everyone knows we are well represented locally and nationally. Locally our four representatives and eight alternates to the East Baton Itouge Parish Youth Council take care of our interests in all its projects, such as sponsoring Youth Patriotism Day and the juvenile jury and operating an employment agency for teenagers during the summer. On the national scene, all the Baker “fads” an.d fashions are kept before the public eye by Patti Brueck, BHS Co-Ed correspondent. Iler job is to send in news about Baker High which is printed in the nationally-read Co-Ed magazine. Patti wras chosen by Mrs. Margaret Boudreaux for her leadership qualities and enthusiasm in home economics. Patti Brueck jots down essential information concerning news at Baker to send to the editor of Co-Ed magazine, Margaret Hauser. 96 Students excel in music and essays. Do you know how to breathe? This question seems rather silly since all of us have been breathing since that first slap on the back. However, Sue Wilson, Sue Stockstill, Marty Stone, and Stan Easley learned recently that they really didn't know how to breathe after all! As members of the East Baton Rouge All-Parish Choir, they learned the right way to breathe and articulate. After much practice these four auditioned individually at L. S. U. and were chosen for the choir. Then after three weeks of rehearsals they presented a concert at Istrouma High and a presentation for the Louisiana Music Education Association at Bunkie. Another of our musically-included students, Paula Farrell, was awarded an arm patch and a seat in the East Baton Rouge All-Parish Band. Talent comes in many forms. An example of another form of talent is Ann Claudel’s essay-writing ability for which she won the state award. The award, given for her essay on Americanism and sponsored by the American Legion, includes a trip to various historical places in America. Thought plays a large part in essay-writing. Ann Claudel hesitates in order to develop a thought before putting pencil to paper. During one of their many rehearsals for an East Baton Rouge All-Parish Choir performance. Sue Wilson and Sue Stockstill sing the first part of “kyrie Eleison” as Stan Easley and Marty Stone await their cue. Being an East Baton Rouge All-Parish Band member takes plenty of practice. Paula Farrell lingers after the rest of the band leaves in order to get that movement just right. 97 Sue Wilson and Jim Keller examine the requirements for various scholarships — a safe bet for both of them. Success, Talent “favor” favorites. “Talent!” “Success!” These words have the surface glitter of Hollywood headlines. But beneath the glittery label might sometimes lie genuine talent, real success. When high school seniors survey their cohorts and choose one or the other as a likely talent or a predictable success, they don’t paste such labels on inappropriate candidates: their choices are usually appropriate — picture BHS Seniors’ choices as Most Likely to Succeed: Sue Wilson and Jim Keller, and Most Talented: Sarah Johnson and Louis Lanoue. Sue’s interests range from singing cantatas to talking to California poppies (part of a psychologically — oriented horticultural experiment!) A girl who talks to poppies! Bound to be a swinging success! Jim Keller — a winner of the 1966 Bausch-Lomb Award — seems a safe bet as a successful electronics engineer. Music! That’s the keynote for Sarah Johnson. From accompanying to teaching to soloing — she is “piano-perfect!” And again — music! A BHS musical is incomplete without a song, not just sung but “performed” by this boy born with stage-presence. And Louis doesn’t stop with songs — he’s a fine performer on the tuba, too. Sarah Johnson and Louise Lanoue pause fox' a momentary consultation, a vital part of any i-ehearsaL 98 Actually, you never would find Nancy Mixon or Dour Furr manque during a physics experiment, “a chore repeatedly well-done;” Their intellect guides them in such too-busy-for winking subjects. Beauty, brains— desired qualities. Beauty and brains — each a worthy attribute to be desired — are recognized in Nancy Mixon and Doug Furr as Most Intelligent and Sharon Boyd and Danny Robertson as Best Looking. Just as Zeus ordained Athena goddess of wisdom, so the Seniors recognized Nancy Mixon and Doug Furr as masters of intelligence. Nancy is acclaimed an erudite, vibrant personality by students, teachers, and organizations such as the Optimist Club. Doug — though he spends much of his time on agricultural projects — plans to use his capabilities at Tulane University, where he will specialize in medicine. Sharon — who spends time embroidering, cooking, and reading — was chosen Key Club Sweetheart because of her winning, witty ways and impish, pixie looks. As for Danny — no wonder he keeps in best-looking physical condition — anyone who runs a twenty-one inch pipeline canal wide-open in the dark and drinks milk, cream, and raw eggs should be! Sharon Boyd and Danny Kobertson — here gazing into a mirror — really don’t need to spend much time in such an endeavor. 99 Gloria Ward finds it hard to block one of Robert Gridley’s shots. Participation— key to sports, spirit. Participation is a key word in both athletics and school spirit, whether it be participation in tedious after-school basketball sessions, in cheerleader clinics, or in the favorite section of the stands for the games. For their participation, Seniors chose as Most Athletic: Gloria Ward and Robert Gridley, and as Most School Spirit: Pam Cay ten and Lindsey Laird. Gloria Ward, whose interests range from ferrying airplanes from Wichita to Baton Rouge to bowling with a local league, is noted for her ace shot in basketball. Robert Gridley is known by classmates and sportswriters as one of the most adept basketball men to play the courts at Baker. Pam Cay ten previously voiced her contagious spirit at pep rallies and ball games as “Buffy”, but this year she took to armswinging, voice-raising cheerleading. Lindsey Laird, a sportsman in his own right, can be seen in the stands constantly when he himself is not playing baseball or golf. Wondering if he’ll grasp the principles of a jump, Lindsey I.aird observes Pam Cay ten’s symmetrical execution. 100 Linda Barrow and Stove Coyle agree that neatness not only means a good appearance, but also a well-kept locker. Neatness means spit and polish. Neatness is a quality that is fully mastered by relatively few people. Seniors have captured two of these rarities: Linda Bar-row and Steve Coyle. Linda’s activities soar from ordinary cooking and sewing in preparation for a Home Economics career to cheerleading and running right halfback on the Senior Powder Puff Football Team. Steve’s interest range from listening to short wave to playing the banjo. He has been recognized by Southeastern University in Oral Interpretation, a talent he uses to preach at the parish jail in preparation for his career as a missionary. Wit is jocularity, buffoonery. Any person who is tagged Wittiest could also be labeled Best Personality, for wit suggests that rare combination of good humor and merriment found certainly in two Seniors: Martha Pugh and Robert Geter. Martha’s good humor has guided her into many school activities — from cheerleading to playing basketball — and many unusual hobbies — from walking to hunting. Robert’s versatility speaks for itself — who else could get away with thumping a Stephen Foster tune of his throat in a Sociology class? 101 Shimmying flagpoles is only a small part of Martha Pugh's and Robert Gctcr’s extracurricular activities. Junior Hi glitters with personalities. Eight down, four to go! Just as the “rear’ senior has four more years of college left, so does the eighth grader have four more — those important high sehool years. So in reality the eighth grader is a “senior of Junior High. Perhaps being a Junior High “senior” isn’t as much fun as being a “real” senior, but it docs have its advantages. In coming years the eighth grader will be able to do things with the spirit of a real high school student. They will be representatives of the student body at the varisty pep meetings and games, they will be given the title of freshman, and a wide range of courses that will count as credits will be available to them. As each senior year has special events hi-light-ing the session, so does the Junior High senior year”. One of the annual hi-lights in the Junior High is the election of personalities, miniature duplicates of the senior personalities, hut fewer categories. This year’s election was conducted by Mrs. Cudd, who received nominations for the personalities in her English classes. The students nominated were chosen on the basis of qualities most necessary for the category. The nominations were recorded and drawn up in ballot form for student voting. Those students chosen as Most Intelligent were Beth Donnelly and Busty Adkins; as Most Athletic Boy, Johnny Mitchell and as Most School Spirited Girl. Saritn Harvey; Cutest Boy and Girl, Larry I)o-bataz and Betty Gwens; and as Most Talented Students, Barry Gallow-ay and Cheryl Sandifer. LEFT: Johnny Mitchell, most athletic boy in the Junior High, pauses just long enough for spirited Sarita Harvey to take survey of real manpower. BELOW: For Barry Galloway to be a favorite with Cheryl Sandifer he must entrance her with musical charms. 102 Rusty Adkins and Beth Donnelly, know that a good title of the Most Intelligent Students in the Junior book is the best of friends. These two spend many High, hours hitting the books to achieve a well-deserved Larry Dcbctaz, “Don Juan” of the Junior High (cutest boy), puts his charm into full swing for the cutest girl, Betty Givens. 103 ‘66 beauties reign on “Island Paradise” The tension mounts as each semi-finalist awaits her turn to be viewed by the judges once more before the final decision is made. Mary Frances Allan is in the spotlight at this moment. The lineup of some of the beauty finalist: Genic Richard, First Senior Maid; Pam Cayten, Second Senior Maid; Carol Harrison, First Junior Maid; Poise, grade, attractiveness, beauty of form and feature—all these qualities of natural beauty must be carefully considered within the brisk moment each girl is on the stage during Baker High’s annual Beauty Pageant. Each year the Pageant is planned and sponsored by the Buff Staff. The number of participants was narrowed by preliminaries, in which three Baker teachers judged girls who wished to be in the Pageant on the same qualities used in the actual Pageant. The twenty girls from each division Senior, Junior, and Junior High with the highest scores were the final entries. These were the girls who, with poise and graciousness, waded through a sea of scrutinizing eyes. Among the most critical eyes were those of the three judges: Jackie Osborne, Junior Chamber of Commerce Representative; Lovell Muse, photographer for The Register; and William Finnerty, Manager of the American Career College. Debbie Keebler, Junior Maid; Karen Boudreaux, Junior High Queen; and Cynthia Dyer, 196-1’s First Senior Maid. 104 Jessie Zumo, who handled the backstage assignments during the pageant, shone the most flattering lights on the girls at the proper moment, to assure a successful pageant. By singing, “The Girl from Ipanema,” the Boys Ensemble provided interesting theme music. Any of the three girls on stage—Beth Foreman, Debbie Kccbler. or Cynthia Garner—would serve as the perfect girl from Inpanema. The boys are Jimmy Schlicht, Andy Allen, Louis Lanouc, Marty Stone, Jessie Zumo, Gordon Williams, John Pearson, Stan Easley, and Johnny Patterson. A new reign began with the crowning of lovely Senior Queen, Margie Lack. Mr. Garland, one of Baker High School’s new Civics teachers, handles his awesome duties as M.C. for the pageant as easily as a juggler juggles Indian clubs. 05 The ccstaey of being crowned Margie’s life revolves around books-from putting up books on the queen is clearly evident in Margie’s library shelves to picking out books from her locker for the next class, smile. Beauty Queen Margie Lack is well-chosen “Queen” — what a commanding word! “Queen of hearts” — what a challenging phrase! Not always does a queen turn out to be quite as suitable on the basis of sweetness and charm. Rut Baker’s 1966 Beauty Queen — Margie Lack — is well-chosen by every yardstick lacking no ingredient for all-round command of hearts. Witness the following: Grace — “Whatever she does, wherever she goes, grace orders her actions and follows her movements.” Margie’s hobbies of swimming, bowling and dancing emphasize her gracefulness. Attractiveness — “A lovely lady garmented in light from her own beauty.” Hazel eyes, blonde hair, and slender form are only three factors of Margie’s beauty. Happiness — “The happiest person is the one who thinks the most interesting thoughts.” She loves to read, cook and eat her favorite food being pizza. Added spice — Margie’s school activities include membership in the Library Club and FBLA. Margie Lack, Senior Queen — “A lovely lady garmented in light from her own beauty.” 106 Jr. High Queen — Karen Boudreaux Junior Queen — Debbie Keebler If the facts and figures for the Jr. 4-H are to be kept organized, extra time and work need to be put in by an efficient secretary like Karen Boudreaux. Queens rule in ’66. The best part of beauty is that which a picture cannot express. Not only are Baker’s Queens graceful and lovely girls but also active and interesting students. Debbie Keebler, Junior Queen, has won over eleven awards for twirling. At school she is a member of the chorus and popsters. Karen Boudreaux, a busy seventh grader, enjoys dancing and modeling when she is not active as secretary of Jr. 4-II, or in the Student Council. By painting posters for oncoming football games, pepster Debbie Keebler helps stir up school spirit. Genie Richard Pam Cayten Carol Harrison Lovely “Maids” make a lovely court. The six maids! Lovely as they are, beauty is not their only characteristic rating recognition as royalty. They are filled with vitality from tip to toe. The six girls have found the priceless recipe for perfect personalities: a warm and sunny disposition sprinkled with pleasant smiles and cheery words. Regal personalities such as these give the girls a well-rounded personality that could easily win for them the title of students most active in school or community. Their many activities include paperstaff, work, club membership, folksinging, band and chorus participation and Anita Ingram being club sweethearts. Genie Richard — Senior ...

From the Mason-Dixon line, south to the Gulf of Mexico, the qualities found in the 1966 Mr. and Miss B.H.S. cannot be surpassed. Nominated by the senior class, Sandy Kendrick and Bob Gridley were elected Mr. and Miss B.H.S. by all Baker High students. Students elected Sandy to the Homecoming Court for two years and elected her Homecoming Queen, 1966. Sandy’s versatility led to election to the cheerleader squad for two years. Widely known in District 3-A A A, Bob holds many school and district titles. For the past three years Bob has zealously applied his six foot six inches in track and basketball. An All-District member of both teams, he has held the B.H.S. titles of Best Defensive basketball player and Best Fielder in track for the past two years. Sandy and Bob plan to attend Louisiana State University beginning this summer. Bob’s plans arc to major in Industrial Technology and to minor in physical education, while Sandy is preparing to major in elementary education.

From the rough sketches of club displays to the grand finale—the dance—every minute of Homecoming Week is crammed full of work, excitement, and anticipation. For the various school organizations, it is 120 hours of searching for needed materials ranging from grass from funeral homes to manikins from department stores, transforming chicken wire, crepe paper, cardboard, and tempera paint into an ingenious display, disassembling the display and packing it into the back of a pick-up truck at 5:00 A.M. on a foggy Friday morning, and reassembling it once again on an assigned 12’ x 12’ square of track. For the queen and her maids, Homecoming creates a feeling of anticipation combined with nervousness as they practice the pre-game activities and prepare for the Grand March at the dance. Finally, for the Ole Grads of Baker High, Homecoming is a time to remember their own school years, to reunite with former classmates, and to renew old friendships. All in all, Homecoming is one of the most significant days of the entire school year. Right: Sandy Kendrick smiles graciously as she is crowned Homecoming Queen by Mayor Norman E. Heine. Below: Previous to the game, the Baker graduates of 1951 were honored at a reception given by the Home Economics girls in the Home Economics department. is traditional. in Favorites—apples of classes’ eyes. Honors sections are devoted to show stoppers, the leaders, the personalities, the award winners, the beauties, and last but not least, the class favorities, No honor section would be complete without this congenial species. What more democratic way is there to find a favorite than to hold an election? That’s just what we did, each class choosing a boy and a girl. The results? Ten of the friendliest, nicest extroverts at Raker High School. Dianne Laird and Skipper Gilstrap, juniors; Kathy Robertson and Terry Knight, sophomores; Sherry Wales and Gene Williams, freshmen; Betty Givens and Ronnie Logan, eighth graders; Retty Lou Griffen and Herbie Sprucll, seventh graders, are the apples of their classmates’ eyes; they have wonderful quality, computability.

One of the most typical chores of an eighth grader is poring over a Louisiana history book. Ronnie Ix gan and Betty Givens are no exceptions. It’s not so easy to learn the names of all sixty-four parishes these two will readily testify. Herbie Spruell and Betty Lou Griffen put their three-week art course to use by designing an eye-catching campaign poster. 113 There’s a name for it—Opportunity Day Yes, it’s true: All work and no club meetings make most students dull pupils. Rut at BHS, this problem has been solved by allowing all clubs to meet on Opportunity Day. Through special projects which the clubs undertake, members are able to help their fellow students, school, and community. Al- though most projects are for a serious purpose, some, such as the powder puff football game, provide entertainment for the student body and faculty.

RIGHT: President Jim Keller and committee chairman. Darlene Robinson, evaluate proposals for Alpha Epsilon Chapter by-laws. Mu Sigma collects soap for Vietnamese. Clubs at Baker can be classified as either honorary or service. Mu Sigma, more specific —the Alpha Epsilon Chapter sponsored by Mu Sigma Rho of Louisiana State University, is definitely of the first class, honorary. All forty members have for five consecutive semesters maintained at least a “B” average. Members of an honorary club are usually not content just to rest on their laurels and bathe in the glory of the label “honorary.” On the contrary, they are always ablur with activity. Collecting soap to send to Vietnamese or- phanages, awarding a plaque each six weeks to the grade with the greatest percentage of honor roll students, and straightening the vertical file in the library are three full-scale projects which kept the Mu Sigmians and their sponsors, Mr. James Mackey and Mrs. Lucille Bond, busy this year. Officers, Jim Keller, President; Nancy Mixon, Vice-President; Susan Wright, Secretary; Barbara Causey, Treasurer; Reporter, Brenda Bowman; Mike Kopp, Sergeant-At-Arms, were elected at the formal initiation last spring. LEFT: Nancy Mixon shows the project committee. Mike Kopp, Mercer Riche, Barbara Causey, and Brenda Bowman, a catalog from which they will select a plaque for scholastically highest class. BELOW: Barbara Causey fastens Linda Swindler’s pin as Linda Block and Steve Coyle eagerly await their turn. 124 National Honor sends cards to soldiers The Pinnacle Chapter of National Honor Society launched its activities last spring with a formal initiation. Each new member lit a candle from one of five representing the light of knowledge, scholarship, leadership. character, service. Although National Honor Society, sponsored by Miss Mary Hair, is not a service club (it was organized for the purpose of recognizing outstanding students), it has performed several projects this year. The members made and distributed, ribbons — yellow and blue (National Honor Society colors) for straight “A” students, and red and black for Honor Roll students. The club sent Christmas cards to soldiers stationed in Vietnam, and sent folders to fourth grade teachers in Baton Rouge and Baker. The sixteen NHS members were selected by a faculty panel because of outstanding leadership, character, integrity in addition to an “A” average for five semesters. Officers, elected in September, are Susan Wright, President; Darlene Robinson, Vice-President; Karen McGowan, Secretary-Treasurer; and Gail Anglin, Reporter. In an effort to honor students with A” and B” averages, National Honor Society, each six weeks, awarded ribbons. Susan Wright gives ribbons to NHS members, Brenda Bowman, Darlene Robinson, Nancy Mixon. Two National Honor Society projects: left, Steve Hicks and Sarah Johnson address folders to fourth grade teachers in the Baton Rouge-Baker area; below, Jim Keller, Brenda Bowman. Mercer Riche and Sue Wilson sign Christmas cards sent to soldiers in Vietnam. 125 Key Club edits student handbook. Name two dozen people at Baker who are dedicated to their school, eager to accept responsibility and offer service, willing to work, and are academically safe. The answer is obvious — the Key Clubbers. Meeting three times a month, the Key Club has planned and carried out so many projects and activities on the local, state, and national levels that it would be impossible in this limited space to list them all, but just for the record, here are a few of the more outstanding ones: publishing the student handbooks, selling B.H.S. pins and stickers, co-managing the Powder Puff football game, manning the concession stand, collecting for the Volunteers of America, helping the victims of Hurricane Betsy, soliciting for the Muscular Dystrophy Drive, and supporting the Teachers Pay Raise. Baker High School Key Club officers are Buddy Middleton, President; Sammy Dyer, Vice-President; Robert Gridley, Treasurer; Bill Dawson, Secretary; and Jack Evans, Reporter, members, and sponsors, Coach Boudreaux and Stellv number twenty three. Carrying: Larry Stegall’s books and opening the door’for him is a must for Dorothy Frasier during Twirp Week. If she docs not have a key club sheriff will be around to fine her 25c.

Making by-laws for the Hi-Y is not so difficult for Sponsor, Mr. Bczct and President, Randy Kendrick who use the Hi-Y manual for assistance. Hi-Y sells cokes and popcorn at recess. “To create, to maintain, and to extend” is the motto of Baker Iligh’s chapter of the Hi-Y. A young club, only in its second year, the Hi-Y has achieved an outstanding reputation for its active service in school, community, and state. At school they sell popcorn and cokes at recess. The Hi-Y and Key Club sponsored the Boys’ Beauty Pageant, which was the initiation. These brother clubs also sponsored, coached, and managed the Powder Puff football game. In the community, the Hi-Y members participate in the Hi-Y football and basketball interclub games with the other Hi-Y organizations of our city. The Hi-Y attributes its service to the state by attending the Youth Legislature, an activity where the students elect senators and representatives and make bills to be passed through the legislature. The members chosen by the old members and faculty, must maintain “C” average. The officers are Bandy Kendrick, President; Jack Evans, Vice-President; Gregg Newman, Secretary; Doug Nicholson, Treasurer; Paul Rioux, Chaplain; Terry Rector, Reporter. Trying for their fourth down, the Juniors yell “hup, two before making a hike in the Powder Puff football game between the Junior and Senior girls. 127 ABOVE: Campaigning for his election.

The aims are to promote student activities, to develop harmonious relations between students and faculty, and to act as a representative body of the students. Officers are Sammy Oyer, President; Mike Kopp, Vice-President; Linda Barrow, Secretary; and Danis Smith, Treasurer. The Interclub Council coordinates clubs’ activities. Some of the committeemen are Martha Pugh, Suxi Eckert. Sammy Dyer. Sue Wilson. Gail Anglin, Robert Getcr, Mike Kopp, Buddy Middleton, Randy Kendrick. Three delegates attended the annual Student Council Convention in Lafayette. Student Council's project this year included organizing and presenting the morning announcements, sponsoring a clothing drive for the Volunteers of America, sponsoring a Christmas toy drive for the children of Boothville and Baker, and preparing the glassed-in bulletin board. Bettor public relations—the duty of the Public Relations Committee. Committeemen. Beth Venable. Sue Stockstill. Kathy Robertson, Stephanie Cap .

Worthy character, good mentality, creditable achievement, commendable attitude — these are a few of the prerequisites for membership in Beta Club. Beta Club’s purpose is to stimulate effort, reward achievement, and encourage and assist its members to continue their education after high school. Its motto, “Let us lead by serving others,” is symbolic of this purpose. Beta Club members attended the State Convention held at the Jack Tar Capital House with their sponsor, Mrs. Anna Williams. The major project for the year was cleaning the trophies in the high school trophy case. Officers are Bobbie Jo Smith, President; Nancy Mixon, Vice-President; Linda Swindler, Secretary-Treasurer; Gail Anglin, Reporter; and Sue Wilson, Historian. In primarily an organizational meeting, President Bobbie Jo Smith dictates to Linda Swindler and the old-member Seniors, the purpose of Beta Club and their objectives and projects for 1966. New members Glenn Headrick and Phin Johnson riffle through the pages of Beta Journal, Beta Club's monthly magazine, gazing at the various conventions of Beta Clubs throughout the country. ABOVE: Beth Venable, Cedelas Hall, Randy Smith, Patti Brueck, Suzanne Pynes, and Danis Smith, slating this year’s project, were among the new members chosen by the Senior members — BELOW — some of whom are Bobbie Jo Smith, Nancy Mixon, Linda Black, Sarah Johnson, and Gail Anglin. 129 Miss St. Julicn, our school librarian, explains to books are shelved according to the Dewey decimal Claudia Watson and Mona Martin that nonfiction system and fiction books by the author’s last name. Library clubbers check, shelve books. For many years now, the trend in America has been to read about books, not to read the book itself. Why is this? A main reason could be that things such as television, telephone, radio, and the movies take so much of the modern American’s time. The officers of the club — Janis Rodriguez, President; Henry Aucoin, Vice-President; Judy Landry, Secretary-Treasurer; Iioary Bradford, Reporter; Judy Hardesty, Historian, along with the members, encourage students to read more. The doors of the library remain open throughout the day, yielding an excellent opportunity for a student to stop in during study hall, lunch or recess to check out a book. If you do not know where to find a book or how to use the card catalog, ask Mrs. St. Julien or any of the club members. One could hardly miss them, for they can be seen doing various jobs such as checking, shelving, carding books. The Library Club is more than just a club; it is a service organization. Without it there would be no library. Carding books prove to be quite a job; a library could not exist efficiently without organization. 130 F.N.A. makes March of Dimes a success The FNA Homecoming display depicted a victorious Raker Buffalo player nursing a wounded Bucaneer. “ . . . I will learn the act of helping others by doing helpful things ...” Living up to that objective is one of the main goals of the Future Nurses of America at Baker. During the Thanksgiving Holidays, the club members gave handkerchiefs to the elderly patients at the Lane Memorial Hospital in Zachary. Also, a Valentine party sponsored by the district FNA was given for the out patients at the East Feliciana State Hospital in Jackson. Competition between classes proved to be a great gimmick to raise money for the March of Dimes drive, because Raker, leading with $240, won first in this district. Also, by selling the most donuts in the district, the Baker Chapter received a trophy. Leading the club to a successful year were the following officers: President, Mercer Riche; Vice-President, Linda Swindler; Secretary-Treasurer, Brenda Bowman; Reporter, Karen McGowan; Historian, Brenda Bounds. The upkeep of the First Aid Room is one of the responsibilities of the FNA in which club members help keep the room in order. Cheryl Sandifer and Melinda Smith, March of Dimes representative, accept a trophy for the eighth grade who collected the most money. This competition between all of the classes resulted in Baker FNA’s winning first place in district with a leading total of 240. Speech Club co-sponsors The King and I. Boodle Booth? Why, you must mean the display that the Speech Club had for Homecoming! It is a selling booth containing such things as pre-fed pirates, molasses (with a sign saying It’s a sticky situation but we’ll pull through”), and a fake duck (with a sign saying “Broadmoor Rues are sitting ducks”). The major endeavor of the Speech Club this year is sponsoring the musical, The King and I, by Rogers and Hammerstein. Along with other various departments at Baker High, the speech club accepted the challenge this musical presents, knowing that many hours of hard work would be necessary for them to produce a show as “slick as Broadway.” Developing one’s speaking ability takes time and practice. Being a member of the Speech Club can provide students with the opportunity to take part in various speaking activities. The club is a vent for talent. Officers for 1965-60 are Robert Geter, President; Philip Baggett, Vice-President; Les Parker, Secretary; Buddy Middleton. Treasurer; and Debbie Fontenot, Reporter. Speech club officers Debbie Fontenot, Les Parker, Buddy Middleton, and Philip Baggett listen as Robert Geter informs them of plans for The King and I.

Bzzzz ...; Clang...; Hummm ..“What are those noisies?” They're the sounds of machines that the Industrial Arts Club members have bought with the money earned from many various projects. Tommie Morgan, President of the Baker Club, as well as the President of the La. Clubs, is actively leading the Baker Club in its efforts to purchase these machines. Mr. Champagne proves to be one of the most demonstrative of the club sponsors here at Baker by directing the club members in operating the concession stand at football games, directing the boys beauty pageant, and helping the members build their Home-coming display. Ronnie Seaton operates the drill press, one of the many machines in the shop. 133 Chorus scintallates with singers Besides encouraging teamwork among students, developing desirable character traits, and providing opportunities for emotional release, participation in choral activities contributes to a student’s growth in an even more important way. It helps develop his artistic awareness. A well-educated person needs, among other things, an aesthetic sensitivity. When a student can be made aware of the qualities of sound, the rise and fall of intensity in the harmony and melody, and the organizing force of the rhythm of the music being performed, he can truly be said to have had a series of aesthetic experiences. Helping the student to accomplish this is the real purpose of the choral music department. Sue Stockstill occasionally provides the musical background for the chorus. Sh!” — Mrs. Blocker motions to the B.H.S. chorus as they rehearse “Exsultate Deo” for the music festival.

Art Club motto: “Let’s paint!” One of the Art Club’s projects each year is to keep the bulletin boards throughout the school lively and attractive. Jean Sanders, Judy Landry, Mike Rainwater, and Becky McAdams complete a bulletin board tribute to Abraham Lincoln. Some students like to dabble in water colors, others like to slosh around with posterpaints, while the more serious contemplate assorted esoteric media, from gouache to atomic particles (yes — atomic particles in art: they're used in a new method of paint-making). Such students need more than classtime to explore artistic realms. The answer? An art club! P.aker High’s Art Club, sponsored by Mrs. Hopper, participates in many activities: window-decorating at Halloween, cartooning for the paper, creating bulletin boards, fashioning scenery for school productions. This year’s officers are President, Judy Landry; Vice-President, Gary Pool; Secretary-Treasurer, Becky McAdams; Parliamentarian, Bessie Cassels; Reporters, Becky McAdams and Judy Landry; Program Chairman, Mike Rainwater; and Social Chairman, Penny Jewell. 135 The 4-H’s—essentials for service Past Honors won by 4-H members set high standards for present members who strive to better their projects. Head, Heart, Hands, Health: these are the four “H’s” so important to 4-H Club members. Baker High 4-H’ers pledge them in service to community, state, and nation. 4-II Club has members enrolled in numerous projects: sewing, cooking, — even tractor driving! To realize what a good project might result in, picture the adventures of Susan and Carolyn Slaughter after each getting in the “Top Ten” at the State Fair (one for best fat lamb, one for best fat calf); they were sent on an expense-paid trip to Chicago, where both girls’ entries ended in the Top Twenty nationwide. The gate to such experiences is opened by pledging “head, heart, hands, and health” to effective service. Reporter Douglas Furr, President Ted Landry, and Linda Landry finish the plans for the rodeo parade float. 136 Opportunity Day provides a chance for the Junior High 4-H to meet together once every six weeks to discuss, compare, and ask questions about their home projects.

Mr. Simoneaux directs both the Jr. and the Sr. 1-H Clubs, stressing the importance of completing their projects with alacrity and making accurate reports. Kibitzer Charles La Cost watches intently while Ricky Tourere and Russell Liniemann ponder on the information they wish to receive on their 4-H projects. ii7 Fashion Show highlights F.H.A. year. “Shades of Dior! Check that model third from the left — looks like Paris personified!” Such remarks can be heard at the F.II.A. Fashion Show, an annual affair at Baker High. From the world of fashion, step into the world of the gourmet — the kitchens in the Home Economics building. Here one will find himself in the midst of a cooking contest sponsored by the Future Homemakers of America. If he is lucky, he may even get to be a judge! The overall goal of F.H.A. is to help individuals improve personal, family, and community living now and in the future — and, as you can see from the comments above, the members live up to their goal. Officers for 1965-66 are Martha Pugh, President; Jeannie Martinez, Vice-President; Suzi Eckert, Secretary; Dvan Laird, Treasurer; Geneva Welch, Reporter; Jan White, Historian; Patti Brueck, Song Leader; and Mona McCullough, Parliamentarian. The F.H.A. initiation provided fun for all students as the new members and beaus dressed up like children.

The purpose of F.T.A. is to give high school students interested in the field of teaching an insight into the advantages and disadvantages of this profession. Members are juniors or seniors who wrote an essay stating the reasons for wanting to join. Future Teachers of America, one of the most popular clubs at Baker, numbers 112. Officers for 1965-66 are Gail Anglin, President; Katie Coates, Vice-President; Danis Smith, Secretary; Sandy Kendrick, Treasurer; Buddy Middleton, Historian; and Robert Geter, Reporter. F.T.A. President (Jail Anglin oversees the other elections with help from Buddy Middleton and Mr. Stephens. F.T.A. officers Danis Smith, Robert Geter, Gail Anglin, and Katie Coates make the teaching assignments for club mmbers for F.T.A. Day. Jane Gray takes Mr. Garland’s place on F.T.A. Day and help Pat Callahan with a tough civic question. 139 Future Business Leaders go to Convention. The main purposes of the FBLA Club at Baker High School arc to promote a sense of business methods and ideas and to create an appreciation of working together toward a goal. This club welcomes any person who is interested in commerce to become an active member. One of the FBLA projects this year was cleanup week. Any person who jittered the school was “arrested” by an FBLA marshal. This year the National FBLA Convention will be held in New Orleans. A spelling test and a current events oration are two of the activities in which delegates can compete. The officers for this year are as follows: Louis Lanoue, president; Susan Cox, vice-president; Sharon Boyd, secretary; Brenda Myrick, treasurer; and Fay Bailey, reporter. Cheryl Byrd, Buddy Middleton, Genie Richard, and Mike Stevens act as marshals on FBLA Day. Treasurer Brenda Myrick hands Carol Broadway her membership card: now she’s an official Future Business Leader of America! In the installation ceremony, Fay Bailey, FBLA reporter, lights the candles which symbolize various standards and values for FBLA members. In the background are Louis Lanoue, Susan Cox, Sharon Boyd, and Mrs. Roberts. The impressive ceremony is one long to be remembered by each initiate into the ranks of Future Business of America. Mr. Payne and Mr. Faurette explain to the new officers of Junior Beta their duties. They arc as follows: Pat Swindler, president; Debra Watson, secretary; George Ory, vice-president; and Kathy Royston, treasurer. Junior Beta boasts a district officer. Being in the Junior Beta Club at Baker High School is a real honor for any junior high student. To be asked to join the club you must maintain a “B” average and must definitely have an “A” in conduct. Also you should be of worthy character and have creditable all ’round achievement. Among the many projects the club sponsored this year are providing monitors to maintain order in the halls of the junior high building and keeping the junior high bookroom in ship-shape order. Mr. Payne and Mr. Faucette, the sponsors, see that the club projects run smoothly and efficiently. The members strive to set a good example for the other students. Debbie Watson was elected secretary of the district at the Junior Beta Convention. 141 Nathan Hopper, Gary Bezet, John Bauer, and Rusty Adkins clean the bookroom — a Junior Beta project. Baker Buffs end tough sea Members of the Baker High football coaching staff are Joe Calloway, Head Coach Bob Jennings, Jerry Boudreaux, Willis Stelly, Grady Hickman, James Sanchez, and Jack Andre. The 1965 season saw Baker High taking its first tottling steps in the frightening world of Triple-A play. Under head Coach Bob Jennings, the '65 Buffaloes made their debut in Memorial Stadium this year, playing the Istrouma Indians in the jamboree. Taking advantage of Joe Braud’s fumble recovery, a Baker 11-yard pass from Gary Smith to Bruce Mullens cinched six points, but Istrouma came out ahead, 13-6. After being postponed because of Hurricane Betsy, the Zachary game was played, the strong Buff offense battling a blustering Bronco team. Although Baker led two big drives, aided by the running of Stan Easley and Charlie Hayes, they could not score, and Zachary won 14-0. At Wedge Keyes Memorial Stadium, Baker fought a losing battle with the Red-emptorist Wolfpack. The Buffs, never get- 144 This roster of the Baker Football team for 1965 corresponds with the picture on the left. Reading from left to right, bottom row: Bos.

A week later, Raker’s Gary Smith tossed a 41 yard pass to end Bruce Mullens for a touchdown in the third quarter. The score, however, ended up 27-6, wrong side-up. Next: district games. Big, bad Istrouma was first on the list: talk about Goliath! With a spectacular defensive effort, the Buffs held the Indians scoreless for almost three quarters. Then the Indians rolled along to a 21-0 victory in the time remaining. Rows to Catholic High, Broadmoor, Lee. Bogalousa, Baton Rouge High, and Glen Oaks followed—discouraging surely to the players, but encouraging when you remember that Baker has just turned Triple-AAA. Often, the first couple of years as AAA finds a school slaughtered by its opponents; Baker was merely beat. Managers play a big role in the smooth operation of any football team. The Buff Managers are Don 145 Pearce. Boyd Hoyt, and Gordon Williams. The fourth team manager is Jimmy Odom. Halfback Buddy Middleton hangs on to a Buccaneer player and a football as he makes the tackle. Action?—Spirited! Linebackers John Langlois and Joe Brnud and safety Skipper Gilstrap converge on a Lee halfback to make the stop. Buffaloes’ offensive team presses for more yardage during a crucial down.

Promising a future as varsity athletes, the Baker High Junior Varsity provides themselves with valuable experience by participating in a year of hard nose football. The Baby Ruffs”, coached by coaches Jack Andre and Joe Calloway, had a commendable season, clinching wins, four defeats, and having one toss up. Each J.V. star, knowing that practice makes perfect, made the most of the many times he stepped onto the gridiron, for in each player’s mind was a vision of filling the shoes of a varsity athlete. Participation of the ruggedness of “the real thing”, and certainly increases their knowledge as to the do’s and don’ts of the sport. With good coaching and the right player attitudes—look out, 3-AAA! iso Today’s J.V.—tomorrow’s standout! With hard work and a lot of practice this team turned in a good record for 1965.

With all the experience, skill, and determination essential to a successful basketball team, the Baker Buffs played a winning season under the direction of their new head coach, Mr. Grady Hickman. Baker’s basketball team turned in a creditable 17-10 season mark. After getting off to a slow start in the Jamboree, and at Bolton High, the Buffs snapped back by defeating New Iberia. Then in their home debut, the Baker Buffaloes were victorious over a visiting Eunice team. Moving on to play in the Broadmoor Tourney during the Christmas holidays, the Baker pivotmen came out winning one of the two games they played. Next on the Buff’s schedule — district games! In an exciting game in the Lee High gym, the Buffs were defeated by a close margin, 56-51. After BHS overthrew the Zachary Broncos in the next home game, the Buffs fell victim to triumphs by Istrou-ma, Catholic High, and Baton Rouge High. But the tide changed! Buff cagers began a winning streak by defeating Baton Rouge High 56-52 and Walker 56-48 in the Wedge Keyes Tournament. Even the Istrouma game (we lost it by three points!) couldn’t stop the Buffaloes. Baker blazed a red hot trail in district play with five consecutive wins — Glen Oaks, Broadmoor, Lee, Bogalusa, and Istrouma. But the Buffs losing to Catholic High and Baton Rouge High, lost foot in the district race. Closing out a commendable season, the 1965-66 Baker Buffs were triumphant over Glen Oaks.

Proceeding every BHS varsity basketball game is a beat ’em up, tear ’em up fracas involving BHS’s junior varsity team against a worthy opponent. These games are real tests of ability strategy, and stav-ing-power. The young players who stay with it have a good chance of graduating into the ranks of the varsity men — as big a jump for them as the jump to professional basketball players by a college player. During the 1965-66 season, the Baker Jayvees bustled through a rough season, guided by head coach Jack Andre. With a comeback from last year, the J. V. team posted a commendable record. The young cagers next year will balance out the varsity team less seniors and join the big leagues. Not only in their minds, but also in the minds of the present varsity squad members, they want to achieve the ultimate in high school basketball — state championship! Junior Varsity managers, Terry Roberts and Dennis Bundick, show us that a managers’ work is never done. Jimmy Schlicht, one of Baker’s J. V. giants, takes a jump shot against the Broadmoor Bucs, while Terry Knight looks on. THE 1965-66 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBATI.

Crowded gyms, the smell of popcorn, and electric excitement in the air indicate one thing at Baker, “Basketball Time” and even the girls get into the act. The feminine side of basketball at Baker shows an abundance of talent and skill, perfected through long hard practices every day after school. This season the girls turned in a commendable record of 11 wins and 6 losses. They defeated such teams as: Clinton, Live Oaks, Glen Oaks, Walker, St. Joseph, St. Anthony, Port Allen, Plaquemine, Jackson. At the hair-raising St. Joseph’s Tournament the girls won third place. Martha Pugh and Gloria Ward were picked for the All-Tournament team as guard and forward respectively. Wanda Sawyer and Gloria Ward noted for the way they always get ball and basket to come in contact were the high scorers for the season. The guards Ramona Wells, Stephanie Capen, Martha Pugh, Linda Sawyer fine ability at always managing to take the ball away showed throughout the season as they would dribble down court to get the ball to the forwards. Waiting to receive the ball at the line were always three of the four “never-miss-a-shot” forwards Gloria Ward, Wanda Sawyer, Sandy Ilill, and Aillen Woods. Making much of the valuable advice of coach Pat Bovard, these girls pulled through with fine season records. ALENE WOODS Captain Forward 159 J.V. plays action-packed basketball Managers Susan Brown, Brenda Ix fton and Patsy Hendrix consult the seorbook on the score of a past game. Takes more than a basket and a ball to turn out a good girls basketball team. It takes a coach, eight willing players, and a beaucoup of that hard-to-find ingredient: time. The time the girls put in has to be found not during a junior or senior year, but long before. A girl who wants to perform creditable on the varsity team must put in an apprenticeship as a junior varsity player. The Junior varsity team, each year, provides the new “meat” to flesh out a varsity team decimated by the graduation of valuable senior team members. Former junior stars make the skeleton for the succeeding year’s team while the JV’s fill in where necessary. This year’s JV’s were Cathy Sue Robertson, Cathy Spruell, Karen Singleton, Dianne Paynne, Barbara Martinez, Lydia McManus, Sandy Brown, and Ann Bailey. Under the experienced eye of Miss Pat Bovard these girls practice two to three hours every afternoon during the season. As an inexperienced team, the girls showed a good deal of hustle on the court and finished the season with a respectable record of 8-6 — fine for such tyros. The hardworking J. V. discovers not only practice makes perfect” but confidence is part of what it takes lor victory. The team members are Ann Bailey, Karen Singleton, Kathy Robertson, Lydia McManus, Diane Payne, Cathy Spruell, Barbara Martinez and Sandy Brown. 160 The 190 6 Baker Track team—TOP BOW: Coach Murrell Garland, Jimmy l’eevey, Mike Sprucll, Stan Easley, Donnie Adams, Buddy Middleton, Skipper Gilstrap, Mike Crain.

As Stan Easley kneels in the starting block, his determined expression shows his extreme “will to win.” ' . Along with the first March breezes and the first timid flowers comes the whiff of the cinder track — an entrancing odor to all trackmen tempted to test their mettle (and their wind) in the realms of throwing further, running faster, jumping higher. Baker High School’s track team — a frequent meet-winner in past years — promises well this season. Head Coach Jerry Boudreaux and Assistant Coach Murrell Garland have this to say: “If devotion, development and desire are needed—along with a smacking good assortment of ability—we’re bound to come out ahead.’’ Time trials are now at hand (this March) for 44 boys anxious to win berths on the team. Eleven scheduled meets will be climaxed by district meets followed by state. ' 6 With a resolved expression and the desire to win, Butch Broussard stretches out to leap an optimistic distance in the broad jump. Mike Spruell, one of Baker’s Hiprh Flyers, is a common siprht on Baker’s Sky liner each afternoon during practice. Point-getters: Endurance and determination. John Brown clears another high hurdle in expectation of setting a new record time. 162 Long hours of strenuous workouts prepare Steve Johnson, Scot Summers. Wade Byrd, and Buddy Middleton for the mile relay. Stan Easley, Buddy Middleton, Brent Thompson, and Donnie Adams, the 440-yard relay, team must have perfect timing when exchanging the baton. One of Baker’s weight men, Brady McDaniels, puts all his strength into hurling the discus through the air to a Buffalo victory. After the starting gun, Baker sprinter Buddy Middleton races out of the blocks against precisious time. Dennis Seaton and Steve Johnson, Baker’s double treat for the 880-yard run, get ready for the season. 163 “Batter up!” Springtime at B.H.S Gary Smith practices sliding into base, for you never know when that stolen base could win the game! Pitcher Robbie Breaux warms up during spring training, hoping for a no-hitter season. One of Baker’s top hitters, Richard Barker, demonstrates the proper position when hitting the ball. 164 With a wind-up. a pitch, a swing, and the crack of a bat, the baseball season begins at Baker High School. Following the weeks of spring training, the Buffs under the management of Coach Joe Calloway, take the diamond in hopeful pursuit of a victorious season. Participation in baseball at Baker High could well become the start of a major league player of Tomorrow. Pitching a nohitter, making the double play that will win the game for us, gambling on stealing a base and making it, having the best season in the annuals of baseball—all these make baseball the nation’s pastime and a favorite at BHS. Coach Joe Calloway shows Richard Barker the proper position in which to bunt the ball. Golf is Baker High’s newest team. A top player on the Buff golf team, Mike Babin, indicates the correct position at the top of the swing. THE 1966 BAKER GOLF TEAM—STANDING: Jimmy Germany, Jack Evans, Tommy Brown, Mike Babin. Bruce Bradley. KNEELING: Kenny Bell, Fred Eckert. NOT SHOWN are Jim Keller, Lindsey Laird. Baker’s most recently inaugurated team— a golf team-shows prospects for ’66. Under the supervision of Dr. Cyril Landry, assistant principal, the Baker linksters have had matches with many schools in and around Baton Rouge. Though dominated by lower classmen, the Buff team has a good chance to place high in the standings. Cheerleaders’ spirits never dampen. As the Thundering Herd charges across the gridiron on crisp Friday evenings, the eight BHS Cheerleaders can be found leading loyal Buff supporters in yells and chants. The 1965-66 Buff cheerleaders are Suzi Eckert, captain, Sandy Kendrick, co-captain, Dyan Laird, Debi Fontenot, Gail Anglin, Paiq Cayten, Martha Pugh, and Linda Bar-row. These eight enthusiasts began their “Training” early in the spring, shortly after they were elected. During their five-day stay at Northwestern State College Cheerleader Camp, they competed with squads from Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana. At the end of the session they had won four blue ribbons for daily competition, and the Spirit Stick, which is awarded to the squad with the most school spirit and enthusiasm. Member of the 1965-66 Cheering Squad include Pam Cayten, Gail Anglin, Martha Pugh, Dcbi Fontenot. Linda Barrow, Sandy Kendrick, co-captain, and Suzi Eckert, captain. Pam Cayten, Gail Anglin, and Martha Pugh are one-year lettermen. Dyan Laird, Debi Fontenot, Linda Barrow, and Sandy Kendrick are two-year lettermen, and Suzi Eckert is a three-year letterman.

RIGHT: Aside from boosting spirit at football games, Baker High cheerleaders pepped fans during timeouts at basketball games. At the first pep meeting of the year, BHS cheerleaders formally open the season with a special introductory yell they learned at Northwestern State College Cheerleader Camp. Traditionally, at each pep meeting cheerleaders execute their pom pom routine to the all-time favorite, “Rock Around the Clock” as fans cheer and sing. 169 Junior Cheerleaders boost junior teams. Spirit erupts from many sources at Baker High School: all age groups do their share. The eight Junior Cheerleaders never allow the morale of the Junior teams to sink at any time during the season. These varsity-squad potentials screened by a faculty committee, and then several finalists were chosen. From these finalists, the squad was chosen by a vote of the Pep-sters. Captain of this year’s squad is Sandy Brown, and co-captain is Kathy Martinez. Squad-members include Serita Harvey, Cheryl Sandifer, Betty May, Cyndi Garner, and Debbie Thompson.

Debbie Thompson, and Serita Harvey. These girls — lively as laser beams — and both spirit and grace to many Baker High School events, making them livelier, merrier, and more memorable. 170 The lively drum major and vivacious majorettes, five vivifying members of the Baker High marching band, are Carol Harrison, Jennie Miller, Louis Majorettes enliven half-time shows. The majorettes of Raker High add charm and 6clat to the half-time shows presented by the marching band at all football games. These girls — Jennie Miller, Carol Harrison, Paula Farrell, and Cheryl Reed -r meet regularly to practice their routines until perfection is reached. The drum major, Louis T anoue, plays a vital role in the band’s performances, too. High-stepping and lively, he becomes a commander, who, together with the majorettes, guides the band through their shows. Going through the intricate ins and outs of halftime configurations without these leaders would be as chancey as trying to hit the moon without a map of the heavens. Tune in on a practice session held by these young ladies: Get that baton up!” ‘‘Remember that we cut to the left on the 20-yard line!” So much time and effort do they spend — to make Baker’s half-times glitter. And glitter they do. Lanoue (drum major), Cheryl Reed, and Paula Farrell. Louis Lanoue demonstrates his high-stepping ability. 171 Baker Band and service are synonymous The ability to transform round black dots into a full, resonant sound is a valuable talent. Even more valuable is the inclination to use this gift to benefit one’s school. Sparking spirit at pep rallies and football games, boosting Baker’s name by appearing in various civic functions, and providing entertainment for Baker students by giving an annual spring concert — these are the characteristics of a service band, the Baker High band. Combining the talents of eighty people so that they complement each other takes a capable director like Mr. Griffen who this year was chosen as Chairman of the All-Parish Senior High Band. David Brown, Steve Johnson, and Cleavern Broussard diligently practice their parts in a fanfare that will begin another band halftime performance. 172 The members of a newly-formed croup, the Band Council, were chosen by the band members at the beginning of the year.

Versatility — that’s the keynote for the Pepsters, the girls in charge of stirring up “the Spirit of Baker High” as needed for certain occasions. Under the sponsorship of Miss Pat Bovard, girls' physical education instructor, the group sizzles with activity year round. Starting in September, the Pepsters dressed out at all pep rallies and football games. Several times they performed in sparkling halftime shows for the entertainment of the football fans. Came the end of football season, but not the end of this group’s busyness. At all home basketball games, they could be found dressed out for both the Junior Varsity and Varsity games. Christmas time is always a busy time for the Pepsters. Besides marching in both the Baker and Baton Rouge Christmas parades, they also entertained the children at the Protestant Girls’ Orphanage and St. Joseph’s Orphanage with a Christmas party includ- The Baker High Pepsters’ drum corps Sandy Hill, Penny Cleveland, and Anita Lambert synchronize the Pepster’s steps in all their public appearances. ing presents, refreshments and Santa Claus himself. The Pepsters spent many weeks during the summer months planning and practicing for this year’s activities. Many hours were spent marching in the hot sun. It’s hoped that these hours of practice will be rewarded in the Broadmoor Drill Meet in which the Pepsters will compete. At the end of every year, the Pepsters hold their annual banquet with which they climax their year’s activities.

STEP 3: All articles having been typed and justified, they must meet the approval of Mr. Blocker and News Editor Karen McGowan. Buffalo Bellow staff—itself newsworthy Informed. That’s what we are at Baker. Why? Simple. Here more widely known than either the AP or the UPI is the Buffalo Bellow staff. Why is this particular press group so widely known? Again simple. Every three weeks they put out a four page edition of the Buffalo Bellow and several times a year an “extra.” What’s so great about the Buffalo Bellow? First of all it’s created by a select staff, all interested in journalism. Second, it contains school news and announcements, a full report of what clubs are doing, student and faculty editorials, the latest in sports, recognition of individuals through “Buff Gal”, “Ruff Guy”, and “Senior Spotlights , and entertainment like “Dear Buffy”, “Hit Parade”, and an occasional cross-word puzzle. Third, winning second place last year in state-wide competition gave it a respected name and reputation. Finally, everybody likes it; copies reach 95% of the entire student body. That’s why the Buffalo Bellow is great and why BUS is informed. Convinced? The staff is divided into two divisions: the staffers, sponsored by Mr. Blocker; and the printers, sponsored by Mr. Bowman.

STEP 5: Janene Drowning, Genie Richard, and Gail Anglin begin “laying up” — gluing articles and pictures onto lay-up sheets and fitting headlines to them, a sure sign that the paper is nearing completion. STEP 6: Mr. Bowman, in charge of the printing division of the Buffalo Bellow staff, helps Phillip Raggett and Randy Cox. the printers, get the press in tip top shape for the new edition. STEP 7: Buddy Middleton and Gretchen Hinunel, equipped with Buffalo Bellows and a cigar box full of change, convince Les Parker that at ten cents they’re practically “giving away’’ papers. The Buffalo Bellow staff and sponsors, Janene Browning, Mr. Blocker, Terry Rector, Karen McGowan, Dennis Bundrick, Mr. Bowman, Phillip Baggett, Jack Evans, Penny Cleveland, Carolyn Copes, Randy Cox, Genie Richard. Faye Bailey, Buddy Middleton, Brenda Bounds, Sammy Dyer, and Gretchen Himmel, gather together to evaluate their craftsmanship after the final step in putting out an edition; each appraisal results in a resolution for “next time.” Buff has circulation of 800 It all started in June at the 1965 Leadership Conference for yearbook, when the Buff”, then amorphic dream, slowly began to take shape. By September the yearbook had a theme and a bare skelton demanding flesh, but not just any flesh — flesh custom-made for this school, this year, this book. Five long but worthwhile months of selling ads, planning pages, taking pictures, fitting copy, captions, and tags, flopping pictures, holding elections, presenting beauty pageants, and being exceedingly picky about quality, produced the ’66 Buff.

RIGHT: Nancy Mixon and Mercer Riche discuss the ways a layout (the result of leadership Conference) can be modified for the English pages. A difficult job in yearbook-making is writing the copy-making it for Baker High, fitting it to the alloted space and making it sound just right. Nancy Mixon polishes copy for the opening section. The Buff B' ulletin Board is a myraid of things —picture ideas, messages, copy fitting systems, announcements, picture schedules. Business Manager, Linda Black, finds a statement from Southern Camera. 178 Matching the names with the fares in club group shots ran he a frustrating task. Mrs. McDowell, advisor, helps Mercer Riche.

You can’t count your chickens before they hatch; you can’t sell your product before you make it; you can’t walk before you crawl; you can’t scatter thoughts until you have collected some. The cart just doesn’t come before the horse—not any where, any place, any time. The 199 preceding pages of the ’66 Buff illustrate how we at Baker High have gathered our parcel of thoughts from PEOPLE, PLACES, and THINGS — gathered so they may be scattered in later lives. What good is a parcel of knowledge, no matter how large or small, to us, anyway if we niggardly confine it to ourselves like a miser hoarding his gold. To exist in its highest form knowledge, like happiness, has to be shared. So be like a sponge, and absorb knowledge, be also like a mass of pitchblende, and radiate wisdom ... be like a leaf taking and giving thoughts. What better way can a future secretary increase her wpm than by Many BHS students now hold practice — not just skill drives but actual business letters. parish wide and state wide offices. Part-time jobs, ranging from library assistant to “bag boy,” consume much of students time. BUS students participate in dramatics, not only on but off stage with lights, make-ups, scenery. 200 “Learning is experiencing, experiencing is learn- in one hour of actual teaching than in all the ing.” Student teachers find that they learn more hours of preparation. ABOVE: What good is knowledge if it can’t be shared? In regularly scheduled sessions or just snatches before class Baker students share — each giving and taking. LEFT: Science offer BUS students a world of phenomena and relationships; science fairs offer BHS students an incentive to explore these phenomena and relationships in greater depth than the classroom level.
