Class Histor In the fall of September, 1948, thirty-three little mama's darlings entered the Baker Eastside School. By the time we entered the fourth grade we had acquired several new members. The next four years were hard years but we finally made it to the eighth grade. Under the supervision of Mrs. Wheat, forty-two pupils received their diplomas. We started our first year in high school with forty-seven students. Our sponsor for that year was Mr. Charles Hayes. The freshmen who turned out for sports were--Larry Rustad, Wayne Rustad, Jim Price, Walter Graf, Larry Greenlee, Jim Sliper, Brad Bruggeman, and Lloyd Sinclair. Several of our members partook in some one -act plays that were put on with the sophomores. In the fall of 1957 we were ready to come back to the high school and show those little freshmen who the big wheels were. We elected James Mack as our class sponsor. Three one-act plays were also produced this year with the freshmen. As juniors we were getting more privileges and more studies. Our first duty was to order our class rings. Our junior play, One Mad Night, directed by Mrs. Powell, was a huge success, along with our Junior Prom which was given in honor of the graduating seniors. Our theme was Mardi C-ras, with every color imaginable plus confetti and streamers. Our Basketball team did wonderful this year. We took first in the Class B, Eastern Division. Those participating from our class were--Jim Price, Bob Schweigert, Don Fried, Lloyd Sinclair, Brad Bruggeman, Walter Graf, and Bob Jafek. Football season found seven seniors on the team. Those being Jim Price, Lloyd Sinclair, Brad Bruggeman, Don Fried, Eddie Randash, Larry Rustad and Bob Jafek. Jim Price was awarded all conference both his junior and senior years. Throughout our 4 years, our float for Football Day has taken first prize 3 years in succession. Our Basketball season was led to a second place conference standing by Bob Jafek, Brad Bruggeman, Jim Price, Lloyd Sinclair, Bob Schweigert, and Don Fried who helped Baker to get a 2nd place in the tourney. Our co-cap- tains were Don Fried and Bob Schweigert, The senior play Down to Earth was a smash. It was directed by Howard Breitbach, and was enjoyed by all who attended. Fourteen of the kids who started the first grade are graduating together-- Barbara Weeks, Jim Price, Camilla Eilek, Lynda Sieler, Pearl Ballou, Sharon Schlecht, Nancy Bruce, Brad Bruggeman, Jim Kruger, Eddie Randash, Marilyn Malcom, Bob Schweigert, Lloyd Sinclair and Larry Afrank. We are deeply grateful to the faculty for the guidance which they have given us during our years of school. FROST BOWL MARTIN Kr YOUNG 14

Class Prophecy Flash! This is Bob Jafek reporting on the reunion of the class of 1960. It is taking place today, May 30, 1970 at the new Baker High Auditorium. As I am standing here I see several of my old classmates scattered about in the auditorium which I shall mention has the seating capacity of l0,000. Here comes Kay Moline, now a Home economics teacher qher life long ambitionjl I and with her is Virginia Olson who I notice is still wearing bobby socks and is trying to teach Commercial subjects. Another person who has taken up teaching is Bob Schweigert--English no less and he specializes in diagraming. Then from around the corner comes the Truant Officer, Nancy Bruce. Brad Bruggeman, the mechanic, just drove up in his Brad Mobile jet. Brad has been working on Wes Malnovsky's G-37 plane. There's Wes now talking to his Co Pilot, Sharon Schlecht. Right behind them is Walt Graf who just came in from fixing BARB wire fences, and trailing along behind is BARBara Weeks with her first aid kit waiting to repair! Here comes Jim Kruger who is trying to straighten up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and with him is Lynda Sieler who is going to see if this will change the gravitation forces of the lemon and the orange. Here comes some one in a 10 gallon hat. Just a minute I'll look under the brim--It's Max Lorbiecke, President of the Bad Landers Association, and Rae Bowen his secretary is with him QI hear she milks cows on the sidelinej. Here comes Lloyd Sinclair who still has his beard, a little gray from being on too many television shows. Sneaking around the corner is John Rusley who still has his fast draw, and with him is his professional gun polisher, Pearl Ballou. There's Larry Afrank, owner of Afrank's Rockets Corporation and with him is Jim Steffes the famous rocket tester. Eddie Randash just came in from a cross country drag race and I am pleased to tell you that he won the trophy and got a kiss from Saundra Bechtold, Miss Africa, 1968. Evert Lovec just made a personal delivery to Marilyn Malcolm in Arizona of his famous PLASTIC NYLON HOSERY. Camilla Eilek will be a bit late as she wants to finish up redesigning the White House for President Larry Rustad. You wouldn't recognize Ronald Knipfer and Larry Greenlee as they are costumed for work in the arena of Fallon County Fairgrounds where they are rodeo clowns. The Fair grounds is owned by none other than Donald Fried who in his spare time teaches Geography in the New Baker High. I see Jim Price walking in the door and from the green John Deer uniform he's wearing I'd say he must be the owner of the Price Hardware Store. And now after a short commercial by Wayne Rustad on Station KOMA, the station of the nation leaves the air. This is Bob Jafek saying Good -By and Good Luck.
