THE B12-.'S.E... .EQCKET VOL. IV ISSUE I BAKER IUNIOB HIGH SCHOOL NOVQ., 1952 SCHODL Well, gang, it's back to the salt mines again. But you know, it's not really as bad as it sounds. It's really fun! Baker's enrollment surely has in- creased this year. There are just loads of new students here who feel awfully lonely. Let's go all out to make friends with them and make them feel at home! And there BELLS R NG AGAIN are a lot of new teachers at Baker too. lust to name a few there are: Mr. McLemore, Miss Patterson, Miss Mitchell, and Mrs. Farr. Welcome to Baker! Of course, we just couldn't get along in this day and time, Cthe girls couldn't that isl without some cute new boys. Take a gander at that Eddie Kincaid! Also, Leon CHEERLEADERS ELECTED Seems as though there was a little mixup in the business of elect- ing cheerleaders this year. It was to be that each student could vote for one ninth grade girl for cheerleader and one eighth grade girl for alternate. There were five ninth grade groups and three eighth grade groups going out. The girls were on edge all day, waiting to know who the lucky winners were to be. There seemed to be a little talk going around that the election was not fair. A meeting was called by Mr. Dar- nell and Mr. Ieffery, to decide what was to be done. They didn't want anybody to feel like the election was unfair so ,the girls and every- one decided it would be best to have another election. CAnother gray hairl So on Thursday morning the elec- tion began again, and this time the students were to vote on six ninth grade girls and six eighth grade girls. Everyone seemed to be pleas- ed except the groups, who were getting tired of keeping fingers crossed and biting fingernails. The day wore on and seemed as though the girls just had to go to the office to call their mother, or something, anything. Then at sixth period, came the sound, Bong! Bong! And then came the announcement asking all the girls who went out for cheerleader please come to the library. When all the girls were seated and hopes high, Mr. Darnell said, I know you are all anxious to know who your cheerleaders are so here they are! Lizzie Barron, Iocne Ott- mann, Sandra Wade, Bobetta Clay- ton, Gayle Sullivan, and Suzanne Bowling. These are the lucky girls and Baker's proud of them. The alternates are Betty McDan- iels, Lorraine Guerrero, Charlotte White, Martha Smith, and Bettye Sue McGee. Our team is really going to have a big year so let's get behind them and YELL! Campell, Iohnny Garcia, and Mark Beaubien! ! Steady, girls, steady! Now turn about. The boys really couldn't get along without the girls, either, falthough they won't admit it.l Well, there are some real dolls here, such as Mary Ann Goeke, Ianice Stubbs, and Carol Nor- wood. Hubba,, hubba! And that's not half of them! FUTURE HOMEMAKING WEEK November 3rd through 8th will be observed as F.I-I.A. Week.

PAGE 2 THE BAKER ROCKET The Editor Speaks By Larry Fitzgerald Now that school has started and most of us are getting used to it, I think it would only be fair to treat the teachers with respect and kind- ness. Remember that they are hu- man too although that may be hard to make yourself believe when a few of them ask you to stop talking and step into the cloakroom. But the thing to do, if you want to stay on the right side of a teacher, is to always get your homework in on time.

You're looking at some football boys That really keep in step. There's Keeling and there's Kitchens, And Wiley Wiman too. l wouldn't be a bit surprised at what Those boys can do. The other team is kicking, The crowd is taut and tense. Boling bounds through for a touch- down, That's using good horse sense. Yes, when it comes to football, They're really on the ball, Because they're the boys that plunge the line, And seldom ever fall. When this season is over, And most of the team has passed. The people will know that this is the team, That is really cooking with gas. i Hiway Cop to lane Ottman: Well, lady! How did you hit him? Ianie: l didn't, officer. l stopped to let him across, and he fainted. THE TEDDY BEAR SHOP The Fashion Store of Austin for the Younger Set II9 E.

You know as well as l do that we can't let those seventh graders and the new students think we are all Snobs. lust think back ...... Remember when you were in the seventh grade, or when you first came to Baker. You didn't want to be an out- sider any more than they do. You wanted to belong to everything. A friendly hello here and a sweet smile there, means a lot to the new people at Baker. Sometimes you think that they are awfully dumb when they ask you where S-lU is or where the gym is, but you did the same thing. Now let's all try to make the new students feel as much here in Baker as we are. What do you say? What Is It? What would you say if someone were to say they liked your sobri- quet?, Stylish Vivian Patillo said, I did not know I had it on. Mark Beaubien Csmartyl said, l'm insulted! Polite Betty Schwartz said, Thank you! Unpredictable Iudy Lawson said, l'd slap their silly face!
