He so loved his fellow men that his whole life was dedicated to the relief and service of all those who stood in need of them. He left us two commandments: that we should love God, whose na- ture he revealed to us by his own, with all our being, and that we should love our neighbor as our- selves. However far we are from ful- filling either, we all should come a little nearer this Christmas to both. By Norma Taylor and Carol Wyckoff Tuberculosis annually kills more Texans than any other infectious disease. lt strikes hardest at young people, TB kills more Texans be- tween the ages of l5 and 35 than any other disease. Christmas Seal funds last year provided more than 250,000 chest X- rays for Texans and financed co- operation in the tax-supported State Health Department surveys which accounted for 500,000 other chest X- rays. Around 2,384 more hospital beds are needed for TB patients. When you buy Christmas seals it helps someone with TB. Do your share of buying seals this year be- cause you never can tell when TB may strike you. A Long Time Ago By Ioe Prewitt A long time ago, a star shone bright, lt gave out a sparkle of twinkling light. The star drew the attention of three wise men, 'Who went to see what lay within. They brought three gifts, that they held with pride, And laid them by the Lord Iesus's side. All that night there was joy in every- one's heart And that's the way Christmas had its start.

THE BAKER ROCKET PACE-I .9 - C hrirtmm I n T haughty of Chrzlrtmar I lay in my bed on Christmas night And thought and wondered with all my might. I couldn't think of what I would get Maybe a doll or a tiny tea set, Maybe a dolly with golden hair, Maybe a kite that will sail in the air. I think of the goodies and all the eats, All of the fruits and all of the treats. It would be so nice on Christmas Day lf the cares of the world would die away, lf everyone would stop on the WCIY To remember the Christ Child was born on this day. Wanda I o Lawson.

They kept a steady vigil, As below them lay the child That everyone would later know, As Iesus Christ the mild. All through the night, The shepherds came, And wise men from afar, To lay before the Christ Child, Their gifts, beneath the star. Mother- Who ever taught you to use that dreadful word? Tommy- Santa Claus, mama. Mother- Santa Claus? Tommy- Yes, mama, when he fell over a chair in my bedroom on Christmas eve. imtiom -I Itfr Chrzlftmm The gayest time, the year can bring Is not the summer, fall, or spring. But times of winter's snow and ice, Of eats and gifts and all things nice. lt's Christmas! , New friends we meet, old friends we greet . At parties, proms, and gay-decked street. The time to cast all cares aside And drift along the joyous tide. V lt's Christmas! But underneath this glorious time There's something deeper, more sublime. In Bethlehem sweet Mary bore Our Lord, whom Christians all adore- On Christmas. 1 ' By Margaret Tampke - SANTA ELAU5 I There goes Santa off through' the sky, He and his reindeer flying on high. To a little girl's house and . then a little boy's -. Bringing to them Christmas Ioys. All the little children are tucked in bed, While Santa is busy working instead. Presents for Bobby, Iohn, Sandra, and Sue, Presents for everyone, even me and you. -Iohnny Brown. ..---1 -1 Dear Santa Claus, My name is Susie Q Cumber and this is what I want for Christmas. I want a diamond ring, a castie in New York, a convertible, a million diamond evening dollars, a mink coat, a necklace, a blue-green dress with diamonds in it, and last but not least a wedding dress com- plete with a boy friend. ' Of course l'm only twelve years old but I want to be ready when the time comes. In this day and time you have to be prepared. Sincerely, Susie Q Cumber CSuza.nne McKownJ

THE .EQCKET VOL. IV ISSUE IV BAKER IUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL IAN. l959 OGKS TO BRIG NEW YEAR By Mary Louise McGuire My, what a title. There's no telling what the future holds. One important event is that our new President-elect, Dwight Eis- enhower will be inaugurated jan- uary 20. This is very important to all the people of the United States, and other countries as well. Politics seem to play an important part in the future of the world, today. There's not a doubt, that the Baker basketball team isn't going to be in the City Conference this year, without a mind set on win- ning that trophy again. Naturally, we want to see our team win that trophy, but it takes more than just the boys hard playing alone, it's our school spirit too. We've got a wonderful team and we want to keep it that way, so come one and all, to the games and see our Baker team to another VICTORY! A World War is a big problem on most of the minds of the peo- ple today. We all hope that this year of 1953 will never bring such a disastrous thing to the world. just like the old saying, you never know what the future will bring. Surely the world will not be able to stand many more wars, and there is hope that there will be no more to corrupt the peace of the world. IRANIAN VISITS by Iudy Cartwright Mrs. Dawson's language arts class was honored when her friend, Mohammed Ali Iazayery, came to visit. Ali teaches in Iran and is studying here in the Uni- versity. He spoke about lrianian customs especially stressing those of 7th grade students. On Ali's second visit the stu- dents presented The Night Be- fore Christmas.

Norton, first teach- er personality of the New Year is the man you see holding forth in S-ll. Mr. Norton is 6 feet tall, weighs 225 pounds, has dark brown hair, grey eyes. His age is a big secret, but he was born in Brown- wood, Texas during the Dark Ages. Mr. Norton went to high school in Bangs, Texas. From there he went to Howard Payne College for his B.A. degree. Then he went Uni- Uni- M.A. to Southwestern University, versity of Texas, and the versity of Georgia for his I-Ie is to be awarded a PhD. on May 30th. Mr. Norton served in the Navy and Marine Corps. He was married in 1947. Before coming to Baker 5 years ago, Mr. Norton taught science and math at Austin High School. Now he teaches only 8th and 9th grade Social Studies. When Mr. Norton was asked EAFETERIA By Norma Taylor and Carol Wyckoff Have you ever tried to cook l25 pounds of potatoes and 60 pounds of meat at one time? I don't suppose any of us have, but the ladies who work in the lunch- room have cooked more than that of just potatoes and meat every day. They have from I8 to 20 cases of milk each day, 24 loaves of bread and many more things to prepare. In the lunchroom are eight ladies who prepare our lunches each day. Each lady has her own job. There are two meat cooks, two vegetable cooks, two dessert cooks, one part time helper who fixes the bread and butter and then there's the superintendent who looks after everything. The ladies start preparing the meal at 7:30 A.M. and it is usually ready by ll:00 A.M. They never stop working from the time they arrive till the time they leave at 2:40 P.M. The women who run the cafe- teria are: Mesdames Gertrude Bargsley, Mary Eckert, Ella Erick- son, Ruby Lehman, Lucille Ha- good, Mattie Crider, Hildigard I-Iugland and Beatrice Roberts. for you at lunch time. what he thought of Baker he said he enjoyed the students very much. The feeling is mutual! Steak, gravy, and potatoes are Mr. Norton's favorite foods. His favorite color is grey and his hobby is all kinds of sportsg foot- ball and golf especially. His fa- vorite song is The Eyes of Texas. If you're one of the unfortunate people who doesn't know Mr. Nor- ton I'd try my best to meet him.
