On his list of favorites is Marilyn Monf roe, singer, lohnnie Ray, song, You Belong to Me, sport, foot- ball, teacher, Mr. Collins, colors, green and white, and his favorite food is steak. But we can't leave out , his favorite girl. Andrew being so shy wouldn't come right out and say who she was-all he said was, All of 'em. His hobby is GIRLS. His only comment was I like to work with Mr. Collins on stage sets. ' l'm sure you all know or have heard of Andrew. 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.

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.

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.

THE BAKER ROCKET PAGE 7 ELEMENTARY NEWS QM Swtr pefionafty Holiday Parties and Programs Before the Christmas holidays, the students of Miss Bummel's 6th grade class had a Christmas program and invited their par- ents. The program consisted of two skits called, A Christmas Miracle and Mrs Santa's Christ- mas. There was an all-girl choir under the direction of Betty Green. Mrs. Meech's second grade class had a Christmas program and did Why the Chimes Rang. Everyone brought their Christmas toys and a toy show was disg played after the holidays. The first grade also had a toy show. The other elementary classes had similar celebrations which the students will remember for a long time. Yours till next month, The elementary reporter Melba Allman UHIEIN UE THAEE By Ianice Stark One of the most exciting sports in America is track. The origin of track goes far back into the history of man. ln early times, man had to run, jump, throw, climb, and lift heavy objects to protect himself against wild beasts. Later he regarded these activities as sports and as a means of showing his physical powers. The first organized track meets were the Olympian games of ancient Greece. These games started out as a running contest but they soon came to include jumping, hurdling, throwing weights, and javelin. The Romans took over the Olympian games from the Greeks and continued to hold them every four years. Track meets died out and after that they didn't hold any meets. About the middle of the 1800's there was a great re- vival oi interest in foot races in England. The first track meet in the United States was held in l8ll in New York City. Since l8ll nearly every high school, college, and university of any size has taken in track along with their other sports. By Melba Allman Carolyn Peterson, eighth grade tumbling star, was chosen girl sports personality this month. Carolyn is 5'2 and weighs 'lU:U lbs., has brown eyes and light brown hair. She was born. in Austin thirteen years ago on Ian! uary l6th. ' Before coming to Baker, Carof lyn went to Trinity and Rosedale. She came to Baker last year. Carolyn's favorites include sport: tumbling and baseball, Mexican foodp subjects, gym and journalismp colors, green and blueg song, Here ln My Heart p movie star, Mario Lanzop all of her teachersp and Billy Brewer. Her hobby is collecting Story Book dolls. By the way, if you'd like to compete with Billy Brewer, Caro- lyn's phone number is 53-3861.

SOMETHING FOR THE BIRD It By lim Campbell 1' A hawk had his eyes on some squirrels playing around on some rocks. When the smaller squirrels scampered away from the rocks, the hawk swooped down in vain to catch them. Then the mother squirrel let out a squawk and the little ones ran under the nearest rock and the hawk flew to the nearest tree. The mother made' sure that the smaller ones were safe under a rock and then she prepared a trick. She lay down on a rock pretending she was asleep and the hawk dove at hei' with terrific force and when the hawk was almost on top of her she slid down between two rocks and the hawk hit the rock and feathers flew. lt lay there a min- ute and then struggled to its feet and slowly flew away.
