Memories of your achievements and failures , victories and losses, of heartaches, of hearts gladdened are all recorded in this 1975-76 yearbook. Keep this book and treasure it for years to come. Mr. Banks 1 have made many friends up here in the last six years. When I came here I found a very good school and I hope in some way I have made it a better school. The principal, Mr. Epperson, and the assistant principal, Mr. Bullock, have been very fine people to work with. I have enjoyed our relationship of the past six years. I can’t say enough for the very fine faculty which has been so cooperative and responsive to all the things I wanted to do. It has also been rewarding to work with such a fine student body. Baker High School can be extremely proud of the young men and the young ladies it graduates.

CARAWAY From some of the grades that I have received, I have never taught. MRS. P. SANDERS The thing I like most aboa: teaching is seeing students read many of the goals that were set fo: them.” miss h. McClendon MRS. P. HEMBREE The best advice I’ve ever been given about teaching was ’to quit - To take my teamster card and drive a truck. MRS. PEA MR. C. BAILEY I have always believed that God gives to each of us some special talent . . . some special skill . . . some special know hov . . . teaching enables me to dure what little talent I have with young people. A little of me becomes a pan of them. I live forever.” The best advice I have received about teaching is: Always be prepared for unexpected challenges. MRS. LONDON If at first you don't succeed, try, try. try . . English 50 Faculty MRS. L. JACKSON In my teaching career I have learned that if one can stand the test of patience and endurance, he will find the educational field to be satisfying and rewarding.” MISS C. ROUSSEAU I have learned. 'Confidence is two-thirds success: for they succeed who believe they can' MRS. C. PHILLIPS The best advice 1 ever received was this statement: 'If you ever stop caring, quit teaching'.'' MRS. B. MORGAN MISS M. RAN DOW MRS. I. PRUYN The thing 1 dislike about teaching is calling the roll. MRS. V. SPIERS I like most the students I teach. 1 enjoy being involved In all activities in which my students participate.” Sometimes when we listen to advice, wc don't really hear it until months or years later. For example, I have only recently realized the wise counsel of a man whom I greatly respect. He said that the focus of our teaching should be on the student more than on the subject taught. He also said that by listening, not by talking, can wc better learn what a student needs to know about our subject and about how that subject relates to the art of living.” MRS. G. BROWN One thing I've learned in my teaching career is to use a positive approach in teaching. The better you feel about yourself, the belter job you will do in the classroom. MRS. C. GETER MRS. LUCILLE WHITE To be able to help a student over a rough spot in his daily living, and to think he may be a better person lo: having been in my class, makes teaching rewarding. Faculty 51 MR. G.

It is thrilling to see young people grow into adulthood and to realize that I, as a teacher, had a part in their lives. MR. VERRETT 52 Faculty COACH R. ORY I believe in the teaching field, you never cease learning. But the most Important thing I have learned is if you show respect to your students, you in turn will receive it. Social Studies MR. JOSEPH GREEN MRS. D. PEAK There are three things that I really like about teaching. They are: June, July, and August. The most important thing I have learned is to treat students in the same manner you expect to be treated and 90S of the time it works. COACH J. MOOCK The act of teaching is dealing with people under the structure of subject matter.” MRS. B. GREGORJE MRS. P. DRAKE The only professional teaching advice that I have been given in my teaching career is to keep the floors of my room clean. and this has proven to be of immeasurable help.” Teaching is a most rewarding experience, if you put all your energy into teaching the students, and not the subject matter. J I MR. |. DAVIS In a school situation, a teacher is only valid when he teaches, a student is only valid when he learns.” MRS. K. BONDURANT Stay with It. It gets better after the first year. MRS. PAT ROGERS The best advice I've ever been given about teaching is not to follow anyone’s advice because no two situations arc the same. ” Mathematics MRS. M. COCKERHAM MR. j. CONACHEN What I like most about teaching Is the satisfaction I get from helping a student to understand something he has been struggling with.” COACH S. ELLIS There is no set method of teaching anything. Any method that produces the desired results is the correct one.” After I've explained a problem in as many ways as I can. finally there's that look of enlightenment and that ‘Oh. I see now! I really look forward to those moments. MR. J. WILSON MRS. O. B. CARTER MRS. L. G. PRATT 'l have learned that anyone who is willing to work hard can move up the ladder of success. The only obstacles to success arc those which the individual makes for himself.” The most rewarding thing that I have learned in my teaching career is a better understanding of human relationship. By realizing how and why different things turn different people 'on', I am more effective in dealing with others. Teaching is a rewarding career but your bank account will never show it.

KELLY Know the children you teach, treat them as individuals, respect their rights, but teach them until it hurts. The things I like most abosi teaching are students who are willing to learn by working and seeing the accomplishment of students who have learned. To teach students, rather than subject matter. Science 54 Faculty MR. H. BOUCHER You have earned one more tomorrow, by the work you did today.' ’ MISS L. WILLIAMS MRS. R. JOKES One thing I have learned in my teaching career is to teach students responsible behavior.

I think that when you work with them it tends to keep YOU young. One of the most rewarding things especially in Athletics is to see young men grow and develop, physically, mentally, and spiritually and take these tilings into life so they will be better equipped for their future lives. MRS. K. SCHWENDIMAN If 1 had it to do over. 1 would do it differently. Home-Ec., H and P. E. MRS. T. R.

Homecoming Queen of 1976, Miss Joni Nelson cheered her team on to victory as the Buffs stampeded a bunch of upset-minded Bengals on the Baker campus. “Danger gleams like sunshine. 94 Football To a brave man’s eyes. ” Eurepedis Baker 28 — Glen Oaks 0 Rivalry time; super bonfire, tree tissuing, etc., are all a pan of it. However, this year was not the rivalry of past years as the Baker Buffaloes stomped the Glen Oaks Panthers 28-0 at Memorial Stadium. It clinched a playoff benh for the fifth of the last six years, four straight, for Head Coach J. C. Stewan's Buffs. Leroid Jones took the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown, leaving doubt in no one’s mind of what type of an affair it was going to be; a one-sided one, in Baker's favor, of course. Football 95 Baker 14 South Lafourche 21 The Baker Buffs traveled to South Lefourche in search of a big game but came up with a dry hook for the second straight year as the Tarpons speared the Buffs 21-14.

Each of the people on these two pages contributed to the success of this book. Some more than odiers, but they all gave something. The planning of this book began in the middle of June of 1975, and from there it's hard to express the blood, sweat, and tears that went into the production of this book. Whether we were successful or not depends on how well the student body likes the yearbook . The staff included: Mr. Green, Mrs. Spears, and Mrs. Peaks, sponsors. JoLeah Fressina, Ted Franklin, Hokie Gajan, Melissa Robin, Denise Curtis, Denise Berthelot, Melva Sanders, Irma Calix, Billy Eckect, Debbie Laird, Rhonda Taylor, Elaine Gajan, and Timmy Hymcl.

It was a very proud moment for the fourteen girls as they were escorted on to the football field at half time by their fathers. The name of this year's winner was kept secret until it was announced that Joni Nelson was this year’s queen. She was crowned by Pam Russell Epperson, last year's queen. The football team did their part as they went on to defeat the Belaire Bengals to cap a perfect ending for everyone involved.

Cohan George M. Cohan is a musical based on the life of a famous Broadway producer named George M. Cohan, whose career came to a stop when Broadway changed and he could not. Baker High School presented the musical in March. With a cast of 40 people, Tom Jones directing; Richard Bezel, orchestral director; and Debbie Keeblcr, dance choreographer, the musical was a success. Tim Spurlock starred in the title role of George M. Cohan. Also starring were LeRoid Jones, Ms. Randow, Donnie Parrish, June Hines, Linda Merse, Jackie Kllison, and Debbie Keebler. Mr. Jones has presented Baker with other musicals such as, Music Man, Charlie Brown, Calamity Jane,” and The Unsink-ablc Molly Brown. But with all the hours of rehearsal and all the dancing and singing over and over, the musical George M. Cohan was a success and very enjoyable to present. 1 36 Activities Dramatics This year, the Speech Department under the direction of Mr. Bailey, successfully performed three, one-act plays. They were Happy Journey, Amahl and die Night Visitors, and Special Guest. Through projects like this students are able to learn the fundamentals of drama, public speaking, and self-assurance. With this experience behind them, Mr. Bailey hopes to prepare students to meet people more at ease, calmly and coolly. We wish Mr. Bailey well in his endeavors. Activities 1 37 r Humanities Humanities combines American music, art, history and literature. It provides a broader and deeper insight into America's cultural heritage. The course interrelates trends in American philosophy and history with the creative expressions of those beliefs in the a ns. With every unit of study, students must learn the characteristics of thet period and then relate them through activities such as creative analyses, producing art projects, attending music lectures, and by taking many varied tests. Students receive two hours credit; they think they deserve four because of the demands. But, they say they love it and when they say that, their teachers love them. American Studies (Humanities) is the best course at Baker, according to the teachers and their students. 1 38 Activities Activities 1 39 1. •’Now dial we're all here ... 2. Mis.

Baker students exchanged and gained new knowledge from the foreign exchange students. Baker High has students from many countries. They include such faraway places as: Brazil, Holland, Sweden, and Ecuador.

Baker High will miss these two ladies, however, their contributions to the school and community will not soon be forgotten. These ladies represent a combined total of 45 years of English teaching at B. H. S. Mrs. Caraway began her teaching career in 1934 and came to Baker High in 1950. A native of Norwood, La., she was an English teacher at Baker High School. Mrs. Olmstead began teaching in Baton Rouge in 1945 and came to Baker in 1957. During her 19 years of teaching 10th grade English at B.H.S., her motto to her students was Where there’s a will, there’s a way. We wish them the best of everything in the future and assure them that as their memories are preserved in this book, they are preserved in our hearts as well. 1. Mrs. Mattie Caraway 2.
