.L L. ill THE BAKER ROCKET PAGE 3 PADS 'N' FASHIUNE By Carol Wyckoff Summer is here, if not in the weather reports, at least fashion wise. Cotton skirts and blouses have replaced the corduroy and wool skirts and sweaters. Those pleated skirts are tops! Several bracelets at a time seem to be just the thing. Quite a noisy fad at that. Eighth grader, Barbara Blomquist, seems to like eight or more at a time. Another fad is trading boy- friends Cor girlfriendsl. You never can tell who's liking who. lt's just one big merry-go-round. Suede shoes seem to be tops in the shoe line tAccording to the boysl. But boots are still very popular. Have you wondered what made the girls' skirts stand out? lt looks a lot like they had hoops on, but that's not quite right. There are several things used. One is a crinolin petticoat. The other is Donna Peck's own invention. She took half a sheet and sewed it together. Then she made a band, took a hem and starched it real stiff. What she got made her skirt look positively darling. Everyone seems to be on the band wagon. Why not start a new fad yourself? just do some- thing unusual, and something un- usual is sure to happen as a result. FEBRUARY ln February, George and Abe have birthdays close together. This month we send our Valen- tines.and also have bad weather. Teacher Personality MR. MCKENZIE By Williams Along the Northern coast of Africa, over the mountains of Switzerland, on the Adriatic coast of Italy, also in the streets of Ger- many-john P. G. McKenzie has been. Not to mention a large part of the good old U. S. A. Still of all these places, Texas rates tops and then some. Mr. McKenzie was born in Dur- ham, Maine. While he lived there, he was off most of the time at different schools. He attended Maine High, California Art School of Germany, and the grand old U. of T. He is 5'lU tall, weighs l67 lbs. and says he's just past l6. Cl-low far past??'?l While greatly interested in arts and photography he still has time for a lovely wife and a cocker spaniel-Nippy. This makes his ,lust Per Fun By Iohnnie Davis A sign on a kennel which sold dachsunds read: Get A Long Little Doggie home life pleasant. Two favorite personalities in the field of acting are Ginger Rogers and Ronald Coleman. Cole Porter's songs are among the highest in his musical repertoire. Warm greys please him and go very well with his blue eyes. Fried chicken is good if it's cooked New England style, but give Southern fried chicken to the southerners. CTrue Texan??l A closing remark was: I once won state championship in Maine -but only because the better riders didn't compete. This must mean he has a secret love for horses. A lively man, a good teacher, and a pleasing personality make up Mr. McKenzie - He's real George l!!! Northwest Cleaners H05 Burnet Rd.

PAGE 4 THE BAKER ROCKET lOY WOLFF By Iohnnie Davis Thirteen years ago, February 6, Ioy Wolff became an existence instead of just a dream to Fort Worth. This bundle of joy turned into a very sweet girl who has beau- tiful brown eyes with hair that matches. Ioy is 4'9 tall and weighs 95 lbs. Of her many favorites are french fried potatoes, Mitzy Gay- nor, Mr. Horn, Mr. McLemore, gym, and tumbling. Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes will always be the number one tune and she thinks that collecting story book dolls is loads of fun. Before coming to Baker she attended three other schools. She said, Of course Baker is the best of all. Tandy Turner and you will surely agree that Ioy has been properly chosen for the 7th grade personality. The Joe Cockrell Co. Q Ll TERRY SCARBROUGH By Ava Nell Wood Football, wrestling, and mus- cles well describe the eighth grade personality, but to the girls it is more like swoon, swoon. You guessed it, who else has a de- scription like that except Ierry Scarbrough? Ierry was born in Shreveport, Louisiana on February 22, 1939. ln case this fascinating boy needs describing, he has black hair, green eyes, is 5' 10 , and weighs 185 pounds.

We're Wondering if ,,,,........,.,, might keep the phone buzzing most of the time. It seems as though Bobetta isn't all together a full-blooded Aus- tinite, for she was born in Wichita Falls, Texas as well as living in Vernon, Texas. Oh by the way! We would like to know why her parents like Why Don't You Believe Me for at the present it seems her record player needle is wearing out that particular record or vice versa. To Bobetta nothing besides lack and food could be better. Oh yes, if you are wondering what she looks like. All 5'5 of her is cute, not forgetting her blonde hair and brown eyes.
