PAGE 6 THE BAKER ROCKET TPVELCOZIIE! We are very lucky to have five wonderful new teachers with us this year. Taking over Miss Rhodes chore as Spanish teacher is Miss Patter- son, who also teaches eighth and ninth grade English. Starting their first year at Baker also are Miss Harville and Miss Mitchell who be- tween them manage to teach Home- making to the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Mrs. Farr, who arrived the second week of school, teaches eighth and ninth grade social stud- ies and eighth grade typing. Mr. Mc- Lemore, the only male edition to the teaching staff, teaches ninth grade science and seventh grade social studies. So, here is a hearty Baker wel- come to each of the new teachers. We hope you will spend many pleasant years in our school. Spirit. Spirit, and More Spirit! Do Baker students have school spirit? Why certainly they do! Did you ever see such an en- thusiastic bunch about voting for cheerleaders? Everyone including the candidates were practically turning cart-wheels they were so full of school spirit. Remember our pep rallys? You can show off your school spirit by yelling as loud as you can. Also go to the games and YELL! . . . the team needs your we're for you spirit to keep theirs up. So next game get out there and yell!! The Best Mirror ls An Old Friend. Rick's Magnolia Service Serving North Austin 6203 Dallas Hwy.

Groanl The world is black and things are tough all over. lt's going to take me ages to recover from my severe case of BAD-GRADE lTlS. A recent survey has proved that 502, of all Baker students are eating off the mantle-piece this month. One boy discussing his plight cheerfully said, l got a D and all N's in Art this 6 weeks. A girl looked at him oddly and said, That's good? Compared to what l got in Math and Social Studies, it's good, he said. To make a long story short ,there were quite a few students who had a relapse when they received their report cards this six weeks. On the fatal day there were several members of the football team going around look- ing like pall-bearers at a funeral for their best friend. Our cheer-leaders Walked to their classes like six people condemned to the gallows. By the sixth period, my report cards were burning a hole in my notebook and l began to think of ways to dispose of them before l reached home. I could always pitch them onto a passing truck, l thought. Or l could have torn them into little pieces and let the wind blow them away. But, of course, I didn't. Lucky for us we only have to go through this agony once every six weeks. So chin up, after all, most of us only have six or seven more years of school!

Well, let's not waste ten years . . . it's Halloween greet- ing cards. The cutest card of them all is the big brown one that unfolds when you open it and keeps unfolding until it's a sack Kto keep your treats inj. There are others, such as the one that sounds like a screaming cat when you open it then a big black object jumps out at you, Cit's supposed to scare you but unless you have a weak heart you'll laughj. One has a white cloth that flares up when you open it and has BOO! written on it. If you're not the scary type, there are cards that are plain and just have Halloween Greetings on them. So if you see any cards like this buy some and TRY to scare your friends. ELEMENTARY NEWS The biggest news story in the elementary classes nowdays is that the sixth grade is going to Friday Mountain Camp.

THE BAKER ROCKET PAGE 1 HaIlowe'en By Wanda Foreman The time for spooks and gobblins Has come again, at last ' And there's a little lack-o-lantern ln every window that you pass. Gay costumes and scarey masks Are often seen running past And Trick or Treaters at the door Beg for more and more and more. Students Visit Bergstrom Air Force Base A group of students from Baker, Fulmore, U. I. H., Allan, and the Deaf School, were visitors out at Bergstrom Air Force Base on Sep- tember the 27th. Three buses from Bergstrom Field, took us to the base. We came to a stop, at the Service Club and rested ourselves in nice lounging chairs inside the club. Be- fore starting the look around, we had refreshments. lce cream, punch, and cake were served. iUm! Goodl Everyone boarded th e buses again and the tour started. First we went to one of the train- ing rooms and learned something about the jet and some of the cloth- es that were worn by the fliers. After this we went to the airport and saw the inside and outside of a jet. When we had all gotten our- selves a good sun tan and a head full of knowledge on jet fighters, we then made a beeline for the chow line. The lunch was very good, it con- sisted of beans, dressing, chicken, potatoes, and soup. Now we see why our boys get muscles. Everyone had a very nice time, especially the girls. So many boys and cute ones, too. CUNEO'S BAKING CO. Fine Bakery Products Since 1925 4225 Guadalupe 908 West I2th True Confessions By Iames Singletary Have you ever wondered how a hamburger would taste if you got it at dinner time when you should be eating in the School Cafeteria? You can take it.from me ,they taste the same as if you had bought them on Sunday. lf you should have any ideas about trying one of those big Someburgers when the next lunch hour rolls around, you had better consider the risk you are running. The risk of getting caught is very large, for Mr. Cowan is almost con- stantly on the prowl trying to nab violators of the Lunch Hour Law. If he catches you, you might as well say your prayers and get it over- with, for you will have to sit at a table in the lunch room especially reserved for you. lf you have a lunch permit you will also be re- lieved of that, and denied another one.
