The best cure for this horrible disease is: l. To rise immediately at 6:30. fYou may have to skip breakfast thoughl. 2. To pay attention in classes. CTO the teacherl. 3. To get all your homework.

Girl Sports Personality! Why? Be- cause of her wonderful sports ability and pleasing personality. Cecille was born in Bastrop, Texas in the year 1938 on Decem- ber 20th. She has long brown hair and brown eyes. Cecille plans to attend the Uni- versity of Texas and become a Gym teacher. 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!

PAGE 8 THE BAKER ROCKET JOURNALISM'S HORN OF PLENTY AN ODE T0 A BOY By Laneta Stefka The journalism class has de- cided to give you the inside story on their sponsor whom they were shocked to find was not known by everyone. Mr., Capt., Dr., teacher, for what have youl, Horn, was born in Dallas, Texas, Iune l, l9l6, and was raised on a dairy farm. One look at Mr. Horn, who worked his way through col- lege as a janitor at A.cS.M., shows he has taken advantage of mar- ried life and eating, with his fa- vorites being anything chocolate with coffee. Mr. Horn is a graduate from A. ci M. with a B.S., from Cen- tenary with a B.A., and from Texas with a M.A. and a Ph.D. While at A. CS M. he was elected outstanding junior, was corps ad- jutant, president of M. Y. F., mem- ber of the Boss Volunteers, on two Agronomy teams, president of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, elected Who's Who of American Universi- Television 8a Appliance Center Stromberg-Carlson Raytheon Zenith 5237 N. Lamar 53-4828 BOOKS and SCHOOL SUPPLIES :IRM FOUNDATION PUBLISHING .

He graduated as a distinguished student, was an honor military student, and was a member of the Scholarship Honor Society. Before entering the army Dr. I-Iorn was a Boy's Work Director, directing over 41 boy's clubs, for the Y. M. C. A. in Shreveport, Louisiana. During World War II, he was an army officer and served for four years in eight countries. He became well decorated, receiving a Bronze Star with Cluster, a Purple I-leart, a Combat Infantry Badge, and four Campaign Stars. After climbing to the rank of captain, he returned to Shreve- port, where he again was with the Y. M. C. A. and wrote articles for both Shreveport papers. Captain Horn then decided to bring his family to Austin, where he took courses in the university before coming to Baker in Febru- ary of last year. This year Mr. I-Iorn teaches one seventh grade English, two seventh grade Math classes, and journalism. I-Iere's one for the book, Mr. Horn took no journalism in college but he belonged to the Press Club, was Agriculture editor of the campus paper, and was associate editor of a campus magazine. By Peggy St. Martin The day he was born his parents cried, And looked at his crib in disgrace It has two heads, said they, And neither one is in the right place. So, they hid the thing in a box Never daring to let it go free. for years, But alas CID it grew 'til at last it was grown And that's how a boy comes to be. Of course, all boys don't have two heads Some just have four feet And those who have five arms I-Iave all been declared obsolete. Boys as a whole are kinda nice, I-leads, feet, arms, and all. We don't care if they're skinny or fat Or if they're short or tall. But, unfortunately, boys are in- clined, To be rather lazy fand howl And when in the company of girls They act natural: crazy fholy cowll If you're one of the many girls Who can't handle the American man Write to me, I solved the problem I live in Afghanistan. WATCH OUT FOR STAMPEDING SCHOLARS ICon'tl time I get an impulse to join the French Foreign Legion, I just repeat this little piece of poemtry which I wrote on the last day of school last year: I've waited and waited for this day to arrive, I've marked and counted each day that I must survive, Not once during those weeks did I see, I-low sad and forlorn on this day I would be. This last day of school is a dream to us all But I'll be the first one back next fall. So, with this parting note we end another school year, which wasn't so bad after all. Despite all the pretense of happiness made by those of us who are leaving Baker for the last time, it will be hard not to shed a farewell tear.
