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!

PAGE 4 THE BAKER ROCKET Eavesdropping Around Baker By Frances Fisk Eavesdropping? Well, of course. Now what would we do without casually dropping in to see what's happening around Baker. For example, by dropping in at the Pep Squad Meeting, we found that there are fifty-six girls in the pep squad and they were all present at our first game of the season. The uniforms this year are the same as last year's. They are white pleated linen skirts, white long sleeved blouses, and green boleros, with a white B on each of them. The pep squad and the cheerleading group yelled their hearts out at the first game. Come on out and yell, and see just how exciting a football game can be. The first dance of the year went off with a Bang! lt was a sock dance sponsored by the Baker F. H. A. on Friday night, September 26, 1952. The big gym was very colorfully de- corated with crepe paper, balloons, and big paper socks. The prizes for the brightest socks went to ludy Lewis, and Wiley Wyman. For the floor show, Bettye Sue McGee did a ballet, and the cheerleaders and alternates did a few yells. As you can see we found out a lot by just dropping in at the dance. The Parent Teachers Association gave a party Thursday night, Sept. 25th, in the gym for the seventh graders. They danced, played games, and had fun. All in all, they had a grand time. Well, this about ends our session for this month.

You don't know? Well whatever it is, please be sure it's something every- body will approve of! Let's don't have any of this putting washing machines on top of houses, cutting screens, or tearing street signs. After all, we're not hoodlums! Are we? Halloween is a night meant for spooks, goblins, and witches. l think we should leave it up to them to do the tricks! A lot of you don't have any idea of a place to go for Hal- loween! Well, why not plan a party at someone's home! just a going of kids to exchange ghost stories or relate things they did when they were young!! Then again there's always a midnite show, and when you hear those screechy sounds, or clanking chains, you'll have a good excuse to grab that special guy for gall of yours! So remember gang! Let's don't do anything destructive, this Halloween! Wlro fs Funeral? By Norma Taylor lt seems as though Mr. Posey is more than a teacher around Baker. He also has a very quaint sense of humor. Maybe your wondering just what l mean by this. Well, l'll ex- plain. The other day Mr. Collins receiv- ed a mysterious note asking him to call 6-4351 and that a box was there for him. Mr. Collins being a very prompt person, immediately called the number. A girl answered, and when Mr. Collins questioned her as to whether there was a box there for him, she said she would look around. When she returned she told Mr. Collins that there was no box there, that belonged to him. Then came the showdown. Mr. Collins in- quired as to the name of the place. This girl answered with the quick reply, This is Cook's Funeral Home. Mr. Posey seemed to be the one behind all this, but when Carol Wyckoff and Norma Taylor asked him about it he gladly replied l'm innocent of all charges. He wanted to know where they got their in- formation, and when they wouldn't squeal, he threatened to take them to the office and give them the third- degree. Mr. Posey, please be easy on those girls, we might need them some time. There was a young man with a knack, Of jumping off cliffs in a sack, He jumped off one day ln his usual way, His widow looks charming in black.
