THE BAKER'R'OCKET PAGE3 24 QQJOH. 301' Xlndfn By Io Eickmann Why do we celebrate Christmas? What reason do we say That makes this day, a day of days, A special holiday? What reason for the holly, The mistletoe, the tree? Ask yourself one question, What does Christmas mean to me? The twinkling lights, the bustling crowds, The things that we all know, The formal for the dance to which It means so much to go. The turkey and the dressing, Don't forget the mincemeat pie, But stop! Now sit and think a while, ls this the reason why? ls this why we celebrate This Christmas, day of daysg The reason for the shopping, And the parties and the plays? No, this is not the reason, For this season we all know. We're joyful for the gift God gave To man so long ago. This present was his only son, Christ jesus, and we say That this is why we celebrate This happy Christmas Day.

THE BAKER ROCKET PAGE 5 Hal-ter Talk Hello, Guys and Gals, Here comes the parade of Good News. Marching down this column in first place comes the gossip that's overheard in Baker then Stop! Look! and Listen! for the news that is ahead. There's a popular saying around Baker these days, Hey 'birdlegs,' have you seen them yet? The hey 'birdlegs' was originated by our own Mary McGuire Cno, she wasn't call- ing Davidl and the remaining part refers to Iohn and Iim Cambell, two new boys from Uvalde, Texas. One is a carbon copy of the other. The seventh grade land eighth gradel girls are having a time with all the boys. They actually don't know who to pick from the many boys that are eligible. It seems that Io Eickman has been throwing long passes at Lester Kitchens but so far Lester has failed to catch any of them. The stag-line in the eighth grade is slowly but surely decreasing. Ioy OLD SAINT NICK By Ioy Wolff Now there's a jolly little fellow Running 'round on Christmas night, 5 and Tales Bigham, nailed Iohn Hollyfield, Cecille Stagner struck David Allan, and Peggy Honkes tackled Ierry Scharborough. We find Carolyn Peterson and Billy Brewer, Iody Magness and Kenneth Ross, and Ioella Evans and Charles Steger still heading the old couples in the eighth grade. ln the seventh grade there's Dee Dee Williams and Carl Blomquist, and Iudy Ellard and Iimmy Ottman. In our Long Hunch Dept. we predict that the ninth grade stag line, which is at this time the talk of Baker, will slowly but surely dimin- ish. At least that is what all the girls are hoping. Here's luck to the girls! Hot off the press and into our Current News column go these short but sweet topics .... You'll simply swoon when you see Iim and Iohn Campbell. Iust how many girls are trying to get Mark Beaubien? Yes, that's all the gossip for now, so we'll call this an issue. And so until next month, this is .... Yours in Gossip -The Roving Reporter PERFECT BUY HEDY HEARTIIROB Helpful CPI advice to the lovesick, homesick and seasick. Dear Miss Hearthrob, I have liked one girl for over a month. Three Weeks ago I gave her my ring and ever since she has been wearing it .... through her nose. I have been trying to break it to her gently that this sort of thing went out of style ages ago but I am afraid it might break her heart since she is very delicate. When I go by for her every morn- ing to take her to school she is beat- ing on a tom-tom and praying for rain. But these little things don't bother meg it's just that ring she wears through her nose. How can I make her wear my ring on her fin- ger? Yours truly, The Zombie Dear Zombie, I suggest that you compromise. Give her another ring and then she will have one for her finger and one for her nose. Yours truly, Hedy Hearthrob PEHFEET GIRL , , , , l. Hair ............................ Iim Cambell l.
