PAGE 8 THE BAKER ROCKET A ihnrt, Gall Clair. .Y ifinnhnn Qlunrhrnn nr A Svpni 0Bf Elm :Hur Emu By Peggy St. Martin It is a foggy morning in the foggy year, 1348. Sir Lancepot, clothed in shining armor, is ap- proaching a foggy castle high on a foggy mountain. Clopetyl Clop! Clopetyl As he reaches the draw bridge, he calls out to the sentry, l say there my good man, lowereth the draweth bridge, for Sir Lancepot approaches. But Sir Lancepot, being brave, valiant, and all that sort of rub- bish, doesn't wait for the draw bridge to be lowered. Since the fog is as thick as pea soup, he just swims right up to the door of the castle. And shaking the pea soup from the crevices of his armor, he bangs on the door with his trusty lance. At this, a pretty young girl sticks her pretty head r 'I I 5.-,e,:::e,:,,,,:eeeeeeeeei I 'iBrockmcln's Grocery and Market if i 4, IQ ml Burent Road - Phone 5-sm 1: If GROCERIES - ics - GAS 1: efeeee::::::::e::::::.-:A Charlie Zimmermann TEXACO Pkooucis UTM Best Friend Your Car Ulm Hand' I Phone 7-3563 30l6 Guadalupe cS'.,a4,,.h , TELEPHONE 6-5ll0 FEMININE FASHIONS 2904 Guadalupe Austin, Texas out ot the door and addresses Sir Lancepot in pearl-shaped tones.

YUU NEVER li UW WHAT TU EXPECT Since the girls are dancing in P.E., I thought it would be a very good idea tor some ot our excellent reporters to trace the origin ot the dances they're doing. Well, as usual information was not to be found. That's always the sad story, so no one turns in his article-except Peggy St. Martin. Peggy, being an ace reporter, could not come in empty-handed even it information was NOT to be found. Thanks to Peggy, you can read all about two ot the dances the girls are doing in P.E. anyway. lDon't get the wrong idea about these two dances though, they're really lots oi funj. l-lere's the article I received: I did a little research on the Hokey Pokey and lo and behold, l found out that it wasn't even a dance at all! Noah Webster's defini- tion reads as follows: land may I drop dead on this very spot it it isn't sol Hokey Pokey-Ice cream sold by street peddlers in small quanti- ties. Which means you have no right to do the Hokey Pokey unless you are a Good Humor Man. So, try not to get carried away the next time you hear that haunting melody. Golden Gloves Tooroemeot By Iudy Tyson and Linda Willoughby The Golden Gloves Tournament opened at the city Coliseum Feb- ruary 2 and lasted through Feb- ruary 5. The tournament started at 7:30 with the high school tlyweights. Besides the tlyweights, there were bantamweight, teatherweight, welterweight, rniddleweight, and light heavyweight. Most ot the boys were from out ot town and ranged from the ages ot 15 to 17. Lew Ienkins, once the worlds lightweight champion, refereed the second halt ot the tights. The fans had seen l5 leather swinging bouts and were crying tor more, when Lew lenkins C111- nounced that it was time tor the crowning ot Mary Ann Edwards, The Golden Gloves Sweetheart. After this thrilling ceremony, Corporal Vic Damone was given the ring. He sang three songs accompanied by the Pastels, a tour man orchestra.

Don't Let the Stars Get In Your Eyes By Suzanne Bowling and Peggy St. Martin The story of Easter is one of the most beautiful ever told. This day commemorates the Resurrection of Iesus Christ, Who is not only the symbol of godliness but the symbol of love, kindness, and righteous living. Many, many centuries ago, the Son of God suffered humiliation, brutal lashing and unimaginable agony on the cross that We might have eternal life if we believed in Him. The third day after His death, He arose from the dead and sat on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. lt is on this day, Easter Sun- day, that we observe His resur- rection with prayer and tribute to He Who died so we could live. Easter is also a day of happi- ness and quiet celebration. The Easter bunny visits the younger children while the adults attend church and other Easter activities. Eherry Tree .luhilee By Peggy Laudan The P.T.A. of Baker held a spring carnival, February 21, called the Cherry Tree Iubilee. More booths and attractions than ever before highlighted the night. One of the most welcomed attractions was Annette Duval's dancing students presenting a beautiful show. Mr. Collins pre- sented an outstanding variety show, with Baker students partici- pating. Bill Rice presented his entertaining miniature circus also. The general chairman was Mrs. R. A. Green, with Mrs. I. H. Amette, Mrs. R. H. Bowen, Mrs. I. B. Moreland, and Mrs. O. D. Spillar, helping. The P.T.A. would like to thank everyone, especially Mr. Pat Adleman, who served as Master of Ceremonies, for mak- ing the Cherry Tree lubilee a big success.
