-f---ll--L THE BAKER ROCKET PAGE 5 CHARLES BETTS By Linda Willoughby Where's Charley! Charley who? Well Charles Betts no doubt. Whosh-there went a dynamic male, who strongly resembles the person in question. Charley is about 5'Z , with blond hair and blue eyes. lnci- dentally he also has an extremely good start on a bountiful crop of freckles sprinkled across his nose. lf you were to inquire you would be informed that girls are secondary to baseball and you would also find out that his fa- vorite colors are orange and white. CThe famous Texas Long- horns colors are one and the samel. Side by Side is number one on his song hit parade. Char- les believes and agrees, as every- one does, that lohn Wayne and Mr. Collins both deserve Oscars. Mr. Betts just adores speech and they tell us he is quite adept at it. Along with all these Charley has many, many good and close friends. Charles has only been at Baker for one year but has already come to know it very well. l'rn sure I don't have to tell you that Charles has an A-l person- - .sizciefy - DONNA BONDS By Sandra Wade During football season did you ever notice an eighth grade alter- nate screamleader full of vim, vigor, and vitality just yelling her head off. She is identified by blue eyes, brown hair, and an abun- dunt field of speckles on her slightly upturned nose. All 84 pounds, 4'll of it was Donna Bonds. She has attended Rosedale elementary, and is now braving her 2nd year in Baker. Next year she will grace McCallum lunior High and then finally l-ligh School. She hopes to complete her educa- tion at the University of Texas. She adores Dorothy Collins and Tell Me You're Mine. Her one ambition in life is to be a writer for the A. P. and as we all well know her favorite pastime and hobby is talking. Her choice of colors is green and white and Mexican food rates high. Donna was 13 years of age on the 14th day of November. All agreed she 1 t CHARLES BUDDY 5 FURGERSON By I udy Tyson On February 14, 1938 in the thriving metropolis of Cooper, Texas, the stork arrived to deliver a package to the G. A. Furger- son's. This package was none other than the bright and shin- ning personality we all know as Charles Buddy Furgerson. Charles Buddy Che would rather be called Buddyl Furger- son is mounted on a 5'9 slender frame. He has green eyes with sandy hair which is really a knock out fespecially with girlslll Speaking of girls his one and only seems to be Peggy Laudan alias Mighty Mite. Buddy is a fiend with a flashbulb camera, especi- ally sense he has been taking photography in science. Till I Watz Again With You tops the song list with Mexican food run- ning a tight race in the food cata- gory. I-le plans to go to AGM. and be a horse doctor! ! l'm sure most of you know Buddy but if by chance you don't, we suggest you meet him.

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.

Naturally Cecile listed Miss Thigpen as her favorite teacher and Gym as her favorite class. She just loves fried chicken, the color blue, baseball, Dale lgobertson, and the song Side by ide. When l ask Cecille who her boyfriend was she blushed and said she didn't know, but one of her faithful friends managed to utter two words which would mean sigh .... to any one of a number of eighth grade girls. DAVID ALLEN ! lf you are one of the unfortu- nate people who doesn't know Cecille you will undoubtably be interested in knowing that her phone number is 5-9923. She lives at 3904 Avenue H. Hazlewood Texaco Service 5301 N. Lamar AUSTIN TEXAS ing under one of the tables in the library? lt seems that two girls were in the library after school. They were discussing the paint- ings of the wall. Of course, the artist got into the conversation. One of the girls made the remark, lf l could do something like that, l surely wouldn't be teaching school. After a lengthy conversa- tion the girls finally started to leave, then they discovered that Mr. McKenzie fwho, by the way is the artist of the paintings! was standing on the other side of the blackboard partitions. Thorough- slipped ly embarrassed, the girls out of the library quietly without being seen. Maybe they weren't seen! ' lt seems that very strange things are happening also in the girls locker room. After a full hour of lournalism maybe you could understand what put M,A.G. in such a hazy mood. lt seems when she woke up, she was standing in front of her locker basket. All of a sudden she began having spasms! She could not find her shorts! ! Oh! no! After a very frantic search, M.A. dis- covered she had already put her shorts on. ALL OF A SUDDEN By Iudy Cartwright The day was cool and cloudy. A perfect day for robbing a stage coach. Hey boss! rumbled a deep voice. When's we gittin' to that ambush place? Here we are, the boss an- swered. While they waited, they set up camp and made plans. They were gonna git that stage fulla gold dust. lt would be easy enough. All they'd have to do would be to jump the driver and strangle the rest of the men. The stage would then be theirs. Are your shootin' irons ready men? the leader asked. All of a sudden around the bend came .... Iunior! Come home for your nap. Spring has sprung. Fall has fell. Summer is here, And it's hotter than usual . Elm T ln-.- SAM BOWMAN By Laura Guerrero My!
