THE BAKER ROCKET PAGE3 I WHAT I5 IT? By Ianice Stark What would you think if some- one said you were a physioqno- mist? Well here are some of the answers I received from some stu- dents of Baker: I'd jump in the lake, replied Iane Ottmann. Betty Moore said, l'd say they were crazy. Melba Allman exclaimed, I'd feel flattered. Iean Haynie Iknown as the blonde of Bakeri answered, I'd tell them they were stupid. Andy Becker answered, Oh, I do. I'd slap their silly looking face, was Iackie Patterson's reply. David Allen exclaimed, I'd faint. Eva Ann Iohnson answered, I'd drop dead. Ruth Nielson replied smartly, I don't think I have. Some people wouldn't mind being a physioqnomist, because it only means the art of discover- ing temperament and character from outward appearance. Disappointments should be cremated, not embalmed.

It seems that girls have been enjoying wearing different colored corduroy shirts as jackets over their blouses. Boys also seem to be wearing corduroy shirts, but with turtle neck sweaters under them. lt looks real classy. Poodles seem to be spreading. Now many girls are dreaming of themselves in a poodle and some are fixing to take that drastic step of losing your hair C314 of it, that is.D Many a girl can be identifed whether or not she's available by the chain and ring. Usually if she has that on, you'd better watch out. It seems to be a fad to fuss with your beau, Ithat is the most com- mon fad.J The initials of the beau's name are seen on quite a few girls. Also boys' bracelets around their arms. Of course, there is a fad that everyone knows about.

PAGE 2 THE BAKER ROCKET The Ediier Speel-is By Larry Fitzgerald As the New Year of '53 starts I think it only appropriate that we look back upon the things that we did last year, like the time that you put the iron glue in your mother's face cleanser, or the time when you put the coffee grounds in your father's pipe. Or maybe the time you put the tooth paste in your big sister's soup. And then comes to your mind the time you thought you were 'so sly, and put the chalk and erasers in a secret hiding place, where the math. teacher wouldn't find them and you Wouldn't have tr do any board work. Also, you will probaby remember the time when you were apprehended by the school's alert faculty, while trying to stuff a SOMEBURGER down your esophagus to feed your hungry stomach. But seriously speaking, now that the new year is already upon us we should all try to make it a better one to live in. Ioy not tiger Ioy not fox Ioy Wolff Euehua TELEPHONE 6-5ll0 FEMININE FASHIONS Eevesdrepping Around Bel-ter By Frances Fisk A new year is here once again! Bringing with it important and exciting happenings of this school year. Your New Year's Resolutions were made long ago and now you're ready to begin a shining and prosperous year. The old year brought with it the beginning of a new school year, exciting football games, and friendly school dances. The Christmas formal, sponsored by the Student Council, Friday night, December 19, 1952 from 7:30 to lO:U0 was one of the biggest dances of last year. The big gym was decorated on a Christmas theme and looked like a winter fairyland. Blue and white crepe paper hung from above, tall red candles shone brightly from the windows, puffs of paper snowballs, glistening Christmas trees, and twinkling blue lights completed the heavenly atmosphere. Everyone was there and had a wonderful time. The annual P. T. A. Christmas Party was held Monday night, December 22, 1952 in the big gym. The decorations remaining from the Christmas formal decorated the gym. Dancing and movies high- lighted the night. Delightful refreshments were served by the P. T. A. in the little gym. A happy time was had by alll With the New Year, we find that the Basketball Season is off to a bouncing start. They're off to a good start and hope to win the basket- ball championship again this year. That's all the eavesdropping this month, so see you again next issue. Most Experienced Teacher By Kay Smith Many moons ago, between the Edgewood Plateau and the rolling plains, beneath a spreading oak, in a small house, a great reward was bestowed upon two people. Baker Iunior High is honored to have him as a member of its family. This reward is Mr. Posey. He is six feet, two inches tall, has black hair, brown eyes, and a wonder- ful personality. When not teaching, he usually works on his father's ranch, which is something like over a thousand acres. They raise Herefords, sheep, and quarter horses. With such experience and subjects to 2904 G,,,,da,upe Amin' Tam teach, he deserves the title, Most Experienced Teacher. -L, -Cpu B t 6,10 QDII1 Spnillp 'REESE LumberCompany a 8 L 5 'mu 7 a 'Z ri-ie sour:-vs uruoue Builders of newer Homes OR RESTAURANT AND GIFT SHOP Manufacturers of Quality Millwork Ph N5 EWEST SHOPHNG CENTER me and Guadalupe 4926 N.
