LAMAR Q PHONE 5-6565 AUSTIN 5, TEXAS ROUND ABOUT WAY Sometime, somewhere, someone must have sat down and thought up jokes. l-lere's someone's idea of what happens to a joke. A 13-year-old boy originates a joke and puts it in his school paper. A press agent, home for a vacation, sees his old school paper and clips out the joke. l-le sends it to a Broadway columnist who prints it. Someone else puts it in a book as something that happened to Alexander Woolcott or john Barrymore. A man acting as toastmaster at a big dinner picks it out of the book and uses it. A radio writer at the dinner steals it and uses it on the air and tells it at the club. A high school teacher, in New York for a fling, hears the joke at the night club and tells it to the principal when she gets back. The principal re- members seeing it printed in the school paper. So he calls the bov who wrote it and gives him a severe talking to for printing old jokes. johnnie Davis-was the chair- man of our social committee. johnnie was an alternate in the lnter-scholastic Ready Writing contest in Cameron. Suzanne Bowling-was feature editor the first semester, and is Chairman of our Vocations unit. jimmy Woody was Sports Edi- tor first semester. Bobetta Clayton is in charge ot year book sales, and was Busi- ness Manager the first semester. jinx Williams helped Bobetta along with the year book sales. jimmy Singletary was parlia- mentarian first semester. jackie Patterson does extra typ- ing for the journalism class. The Rocket Staff has a number of unsung by very essential re- porters whose articles you have seen often. These students are john Campbell, Rufus Burke, and llo Porter of the 9th grade. Of our eighth graders there are Lorraine Guerrero, Norma Taylor, Carol Wycoff, and Kay Smith. Mr. Horn has also been doing a Wonderful job of sponsoring the Baker Rocket. We would like to express our greatest thanks to him and hope that he will be able to keep up the good work.

PAGE 4 THE BAKER ROCKET BAKER HI-LINE P-s-s-s-stil!! Gossip, gossip, gos- sip, is to be found everywhere in the halls of our alma mater now that Spring Fever has hit. And let me tell you the latest dirt is real george all the way. First, for the benefit of some of the lonesome lasses we would like to mention that there are just oodles of Cool Ionahs just wait- ing to be hooked by you double- bubbles. For instance there are Wilbur Urban, Sam Bowman, Terry Morrow, Don Keeling, and the ever elusive Mark Beaubien. Some good catches for some lucky boys are Peggy Laudan, Kay Smith, and Mary Sue Schwartz. Sandra Wade and Bobetta Clayton, judging from the pickle they got themselves into, one eve- ning, and low and behold six dates between them, find the walls of Baker pretty confining. You want to know of a romance that was made in the shade? l'm telling you now that old Love- Bug must have nibbled on Su- zanne Bowling and Eddie Kin- caid, they seem to have eyes only for each other. One of the newer twosomes is lack Mangham and Martha Smith. They make a dash- ing couple if there ever was one. slelaffz gml, E - What ninth grade boy has a Studebaker convertible? And what blonde, blue eyed relative of Irma goes joy riding regu- larly with him??? She goes be- cause it's a convertible! She likes the cool breezes in her hair. HA! Frances Fisk has Spring Fever, but she's not ga-ga over a boy, she's devoted to a book. We may all well wish we had followed her example now that final exams are creeping up. Keep your peepers and ears open for what l may have over- looked or just didn't have the space or nerve to write. Bye Bye Baker Kenneth Ross and Barbara Bloom- quist are hitting it otf right well too, so they say . . . Who knows what 8th grader with the initials S. S. has her big brown peepers on Buddy Furger- son? Barbara Grice is mooning over 5'4 of a boy by the name of Martin Patterson. Wonder if Billy Hammer suspects that a lit- tle 8th grade cutie has her heart set on the likes of him. So much for these guessing games-we hear that there is friction between lane Ottmann and her ever-lovin' Myles. Could this be so? lt would cause some of us to lose faith in spring if such a tragic thing happens after months of being mentioned as a steady couple. FLASH -de-de-det lane was seen holding hands with Darrel Ebers in the hall this A. M. What will the Hair Trigger Tempered Myles do? Stand by for the out- come. CWe hear there's a law prohibiting cradle robbing and lane being a law-abiding citizen THE END IS NEAR By Linda Willoughby T ommy Yeley H arry Terry E rnest Smith E llene Rockwell N ancy Ramm D ennis McDaniel Ilo Porter S ylvia Claypool N orma Ivy Elissa Hester A ndrew Becker R eagan Greathouse D Music - Records - Instruments RADIOS 8: TELEVISION .l.
