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.
