TPAGE' 8 THE BAKER ROCKET Girls' Activities in P. E. The girl's P. E. classes are now having volleyball intervals after school. It seems that after about three weeks of learning the skills of the game, that they are now play- ing against different advisories. Dur- ing those three weeks they practic- ed ,hitting the ball over the net, serving, and finally playing the game. About two days before the intervals, different advisories of teams could come after school and practice volleyball. ln this way they could become more able to have a chance at winning top place of their grade. The next sport they will take up will be basketball, but you will read more about that in the next issue. What's Puppy Love? ' lt's the beginning of a dog's life. Answers l. Princeton and Rutgers 2.

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.

Palooka las all his friends call himl is Captain of the football team and plays the position quarterback. Football's his favorite sport, but he's also good at track. Pa1ooka's favorites are Mr. Sallee as a teacher, green and white as colors, and Liz Barron as his one and only. I-le plans to attend A. of M. and later to be a test pilot. It you don't know Palooka, my advice is to meet him. You'll be glad you did. Baseball Fever Around October lst every year there is a great event in the lite of every true sports fan. It is called the World Series and caused such comotion in Baker this year the teachers were wishing they could lay their hands on the guy that in- vented baseball. Why just the other day I heard one teacher ask the other if she owned a knife and the address of Abner Doubledays lthe guy that invented the national pas- timel address? All kidding aside the world series carries a lot of excit- ment from Maine to California and Washington to Florida and is still considered one of the sports ever invented. Iapan has also adopted this sport as their National Pastime. .' 4 Baker-Allan Game The largest crowd in history, 3,500 fans attended the lunior High School City Conference Football race on Thursday, October 2. . ' Allan made the first touchdown in the first halt. The score was than Allan 6 and Baker U. V Baker didn't manage to cross the double stripe, until the second halt, made by Lester Kitchens, going from the nine yard line. A The drive started on the Allanf 32. Palooka Frey kept the ball andgot it to the 22. Don Keeling swept on to the nine were Kitchens took it over for the score. Kitchens also made the extra point. Allan came through with a clean, clear run and a long pass, for an- other touchdown, this made the score Baker, 13 and Allan 12. That was the final score. Lester Kitchens, Clyde Boling and lames Frey played a fine game in the backfield, while Irvin Rawls, David Warner, lack Secord, and Wiley Wyman really looked good in the line. We have Eddie Kincaid, Terry Scarbrough, lohn Fowler, and Lanny Nelson to thank tor making the Way clear, Also Myles Brandon, Bill I-Iamilton, lohnny Kennedy, and Bob McFarland all of whom we are proud ot. i010I0i0illiilitlillitllibilllillllltbl Q Whities Fried Chicken I I Fon eooo Foon i Best Fried Chicken in Austin i Phone 5-I433 6Il4 N.
