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.

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.

Everyone was decked in the traditional green but still, with a cheerful smile, would say, Oh, did you wear green too? The popular Backward Dance was the talk of Baker for several days. Imagine what a time the bashful girls had asking the hopeful boys! The big gym was decorated in spring fashion. The dance was given by the Student Council, Thursday, March l9. Spring was every- where and everyone seemed to be floating on a cloud of fun! Iournalism Class Holds Tea Dance!
