THE BAKER ROCKET PAGE 51 Hal-ier Tall-is and Tales Hello Guys and Gals, As I was roaming through dear old Baker's halls, I couldn't help overhearing a little gossip about what's going around. For instance, Gayle Sullivan went to the Christ- mas Dance with Bob McFarland, then went back to Clyde, and is currently liking him. IClyde's main attraction seems to be Kitty Doles, his old flame? Some couples that went to the Christmas Dance were Peggy Laudan and Iohn Campbell, Iudy Tyson and Greg Martin, and Sharon Duncan and Stanley Barnes. I wonder if anything will come ot th e se dates? Some couples around Baker these days are Sandy Wade and Mark Beau- bien, David Warner and Mary McGuire and Kitty Doyles and Bill Pehl. There are quite a few cute girls who would make good girlfriends for some boys, but so tar they haven't been taken yet. So get on the ball, boys, because there is Bobetta Clayton, Margaret Tampke, Martha Smith, Donna Bonds, Colleen Gravis, and Frances Fisk. The seventh grade is still full of availables but among some ot the couples are Dee Dee Williams and Ronnie Smith, Iudy Ellard and Iimmy Ottmann, Ioe Wither- spoon and Iudy Cartwright. Well, I guess I've heard all the news for this month, but there will be more next month.

You can be a jour- nalist in the Navy and iultill a small part in it. I A journalist writes articles tor the ship or station newspaper, prepares radio scripts, prooireads the newspaper, edits it, plans the layout tor it, operates typewriter and teletype machines, does pho- tography work and many other things. When you get out of the Navy there are many civilian jobs you may take, such as a managing editor oi a newspaper, a copy reader, a script writer, a reporter, a tree lance writer and an art layout man. Remember, the Navy isn't all tor the men because the WAVES and the nurses play a big part also. So after all, boys, the Navy isn't so bad. KYou get paid for it besides.I CROSS-ALLEN CO.

If by chance you haven't, be sure to do so and very soon I'1n sure you will like him very much, you won't be able to help yourself. Those of you who already know Andrew can see very clearly why Andrew Becker was chosen Boy Sport Personality of the month. By Iarnes Singletary For the past six weeks the boys have been acting like the Harlem Globe Trotters and doing a sub- normal job of it. Although the boys aren't experts they play a fair and square game, which Mr. Munson watches and offers criti- cism and advice when needed. This will go on for another week or two. Then there will be a cou- ple of weeks of bombardment, after which tumbling will begin. When it is warm enough the boys start Track. Since another issue of the ROCKET will be out before this list of activities is overrun, we will sign off for now. DeLaney's Texaco Service Station 590l Burnet Rd.
