THE BAKER ROCKET PAGE 5 SCARLETT FRAZIER By Mary McGuire Scarlett Frazier! This particular name belongs to a well trimmed girl with brown hair, green eyes, is 5'3 , and weighs l03. Scarlett was born in Burnet, Texas, No- vember 24, 1940. Bringing us to- date, she's l2 years old. Scarlett entered Baker the tirst time in Iunior High and last year she attended Rosedale. Baker is a swell school in her opinion. Blue rates top on her list and Miss Rhodes also. Ike Taylor holds the number one spot as tar as boys go! Kcan't show a disapproval of her taste either.J Scarlett plans to attend AGM, and her ambition is to be a bang- up secretary. lncidentally, if you think you can change her mind, try 53-2787. With a face and tigure like Scar- lett's, the brave boys in this school might think it worth tan- gling with lke. .gl-ehaffjf yeulegy - .Sbciefy - i t 1 WILBUR URBAN By Sandra Wade lf you see a boy with blonde hair, sparkling blue eyes, is 5'9 and a husky l63 pounds, you will know that this handsome descrip- tion tits only Wilbur Urban.

MARY ANN GOEKE By Laneta Steika Someone who loves to gab over the telephone, thinks LeRoy Paul is superb, as well as Baker and thinks Mr. Horn and Mrs. McLe- more deserve recognition as Well as their subjects Iournalism and Science. Other tops with this cer- tain person are Tell Me You're Mine, Mexican food, sky blue, and baseball and volley ball. If you want to aggravate her, try a particular type of teasing and see what happens. This certain person is 5'43f4 tall, has dark brown hair, brown eyes, and is as cute as they come. This person, l presume, all of you know, but just one more clue, she wants to teach school or be a journalist when she is older. Yes, our ninth grade personality this month is none other than Mary Ann Goeke.

PAGE 4 THE BAKER ROCKET In Une Ear - - Uut The Ilther lf you haven't gotten an earful of the latest scandal or if you're a little late on the lovelorn, here's a column that will get you hep. It appears the ninth grade isn't doing so well. The boys haven't the faintest idea that ln spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love. They're re- worded it substituting fishing or track relays. There are a few couples who are still on the beam however, this fast diminishing group includes Mary McGuire and David Warner, Sandy Wade and Greg Martin, and Suzie Bowling and Eddie Kincaid. The eighth grade is really in a jam! The boys won't take hints. Keep your chins up girls, all the boys in this school aren't jerks. Iody Magness and Don Benner, Ioella Evans and Charles Stegar, and Barbara Bloomquist and Ken- neth Ross are a majority of the minority who held their fellas. The seventh grade is the only bunch who conform to nature. This about exhausts the supply for this issue, so until next month keep your ears and eyes open. Spring Inspirations Spring has sprung The grass has riz Wonder where the birdies is? Spring is here The boid is on the wing That's silly, how absoid The wing is on the boid! SUMMER ACTIVITIES Baker students enjoy summer sun. By Sandra Wade The summer holidays are just around the corner and everyone is buzzing with plans. We find an enormous variety of pastimes for our three months of freedom among the students of Baker. You may hear of anything from just sittin' 'round to a trip to the big city, but everyone has something in mind to occupy his or her time. Some of us will do nothing more exciting than dividing our time between Barton's and Lock- harts' while the more ambitious in our midst will settle for nothing less than a trip home to St. Louis, like lane Ottman. Iudy Tyson, Mary McGuire, Linda Willough- by, and Sandy Wade are migrat- ing to the lake for a few weeks and a few colossal sunburns. Peggy Laudan, our most envied tourist, is anticipating a glorious vacation in New York City. Mar- tha Smith obviously is not im- pressed by the glamour of fash- ionable resort spotsg she prefers to stay right at home and do nuthin'. If you get tired of movies, there are scads of things to do, swim- ming, miniature golf, horseback riding, and just loafing, help pass the time admirably. ,1...l.ll- BABY SITTING?
