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.

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. If this little piece of satire has done any- thing to destroy the fond memories which you undoubtedly have, I .fa ggehfe .Beauty Salon NORTHWEST SHOPPING CENTER Phone 5-0233 6009 Burnet Rd.
