THE BAKER ROCKET PAGE 7 Bill Sues Through The Senate There was once a little ole Bill, and oh how he wanted to grow up and become a law. Bill had so much to say but no- body could quite understand him. One day some bright boy decided to send Bill to a doctor. This partic- ular doctor was called Committee and his assistant Sub-Commit tee. They started to work on Bill right away. Every time they changed a paragraph or phrase, he got better and better. Soon he even looked better. Finally, they thought he was ready for the Senate. Bill had to go through much red tape, in fact he got tangled up in it, but at long last, he got to the Senate. He had heard the Senators were very rough on little bills and yes, they really were. But he wanted to be a law awfully bad. Those Sena- tors, oh those Senators, they would wave their arms and pound on their desks. One Senator got up and talked and talked and talked. They called him by two names, Fill and Buster. Bill and the other Senators were battle worn. Finally some joker got up and yelled We will now have a vote deciding yea or nay on the bill. This was it. All in favor, yelled the same man. All of a sud- den lights started coming on in the back of the speakers. All against, he yelled. Then blue lights started coming on. There was a deep silence until one man got up and said, The Bill has gone through by a two-thirds majority. Bill had come through the Senate. l-le was now a LAW. - eibiol you Jczowf That liking Larry Fitzgerald is the fad around Baker these days. That Mr. Pine is trying to make a mathematician out of Don Keeling. That loella Evans had a hay-ride for her birthday, and everyone who attended had a glorious time. That Lyle Nauman has over one- thousand dollars in his bank ac- count, a lot of which he gets from his snow. cone stand. That Mr. Norton is actually edu- cating Eddie Kincaid. DON KEELING By Melba Allman Flashing blue eyes, brown hair, weight of 145 lbs., and height of S feet 10 inches describes perfectly our boy sports personality of the month. Don played the position of tail- back on the football team and is good at track, basketball and base- ball. He likes all kinds of sports. Don listed Mr. Norton as his fa- vorite teacher, social studies as the subject, and An Amateur in Love as his favorite song. His favorite food is cornbread and beans. CDon isn't hard to pleasel. To top all his favorites he has a very favorite girl, lean Haynie. When I asked Don what his fa- vorite colors were he looked at me as if I should have known and re- plied, Green and White. To go with the colors Don says Baker's the best! lf you don't know Don be sure and meet him. You'll probably have something in common if you like any kind of sports. FUUBTH S FIFTH SHADE MUSIC NEWS By Patricia Hugland The fourth and fifth grades are learning some of the songs that Franz Peter Schubert wrote. He wrote more than two hundred songs. A Day Tn Think And Be Thankful By Peggy St. Martin Thanksgiving will soon be upon us again. To working people it will mean a day of leisure. To many families it will mean a big turkey dinner. But to all Americans it will be an opportunity to stop in our busy life to think about and be thankful for our American way of life. ' When you put the ideas, tradi- tion, and backgrounds of many peo- ple together you get a better way of life. The United States is just such a melting pot. We have put together the culture of the French, the language of the English, and the lrish to make an intelligent, cul- tured, and strong nation. With the mingled ideas of the Spanish, French, English, Chinese, and many more we have developed a lasting democracy. Using the term na- tionality there is no such person as an American. But this mythical per- son has the highest standard of liv- ing in the world. He has a demo- cratic government and enjoys free- dom of speech and freedom of religion. What does all this have to do with November 27? Thanksgiving Day serves as a string around the national finger to remind us thatrthe United States is the most fortunate country in the world, not by acci- dent but by hard work and patience. American Edueatlun Week By Laneta Stefka The month of November was full of weeks holding importance to us. The first week of November was F.H.A. Week, the second week American Education Week, and the third week National Book Week. Our American Education Week has been observed for a good many years as it was this year. lts pur- pose is to give the public a chance to see the accomplishments made by the school in the past year. The topics and general themes of American Education were selected by representatives of the four na- tional sponsors which were the Na- tional Education Association, the American Legion, the United States Office of Education, and the National Congress of Parents and Teachers.

IV ISSUE III BAKER IUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEC. 1952 hrurtmas Spirit by Peggy St. Martin When holly leaf and mistletoe decorate the windows, when mother hides mysterious little packages, when little brother writes a letter to Santa, when there is a touch of gaiety and good spirits in the air, then everyone knows that Christmas is on the way. In just a few days Old Saint Nick will come tumbling down the chimney to spread happiness and good cheer .... What was that? You say you don't believe in Santa Claus? Well, Santa isn't really a roly-poly bearded little man in a red suit. Santa is the man who contributed to the fund for underprivileged children or the little boy who bought Christmas seals with his allowance or the little girl who shared her Christmas toys with an orphan or the family who visited the Veterans' hos- pital on Christmas Day. Yes, Santa Claus is simply any person who believes that it is better to give than to receive. There is a little bit of Santa in all of us . . . you, and you and even you hardboiled. What gives folks the Christmas spirit is knowing that they have made someone's Christmas a little bit happier. So get your Christmas spirit out of the mothballs, dust it off, and put it to work. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii?-iiiiiiiiiiii we ma earring of Gkriafmaa Soon it will be Christmas. In mil- lions of homes across the country families and kinsmen will sit down and eat a little more than is good for them and make merry. There will be a slight, temporary, yet perceptible rise in the temperature of human kindliness. What does it all mean? For a mi- nority, Christmas is a religious com- memoration, the highlight of the Christian year. For a majority it is merely a feast and a holiday, and is kept by them because their fathers kept it, because their earliest mem- ories of celebration and family re- union go back to Christmas Day. Some of us would do well to re- member certain historical facts. The first is that on Christmas Day there was born in a manger of a poor inn in Iudea a child called jesus. He was not a prince or a statesman or a warrior. I-Ie was not a member of a conquering raceg He wrote no book, raised no artistic monument. His years on earth were few and spent out in an abscure province. He was considered by cultivated, educated, contemporaries as a man of no con- .. r- ' fr-'-1:41-:..

Surely there's some trait you need to develop or improve. For instance the following people have these resolutions: I resolve to leave ALL the girls alone ALL the time, said Andy love em all Becker. . I will never make another face, anytime or anywhere, resolves Bo- betta Clayton. Mr. Posey is going to keep on being his own sweet self. Larry Fitzgerald resolves to make Mr. Posey and Mr. Norton realize that making one stay in, stifles his talents. Sandy Wade can't think of any- thing she needs to improve. Linda Willoughby resolves to am- putate her head if she gets another freckle. CWon't she look cute?J We have excluded our Guess Who personality from this issue but it will be continued next month. :Wai .95 CLI-idfmadfv What is Christmas? You mean you don't know? Christmas is the cold and beautiful night, When all of the Christmas trees are in full light, When jolly old Santa comes to see, If the children are in bed, happy with glee, If they have been good all through the year, I-Ie will then leave presents to make them happy and cheer. Christmas is Iesus' birthday, Which we should set aside, Because Iesus is the son of the heavenly Father, our Guide. Harris Moreland.
