PAGE 4 THE BAKER ROCKET HEHU SMITH By Jinx Williams There aren't many people as easy going as Bebo Smith and here's why. Bebo loves spinach and candy, but when one has ten cows, three cats, and three dogs for pets, he's considered different. Bebo's hobby is talking and his ambition is to grow up. His favorite song is Till l Waltz Again With You. When asked with whom he would like to waltz, he replied, No girls! He is fond of Mr. McLemore, Ierry Lewis, and AGM. Please don't stop to wonder how he can pos- sibly be a baseball player at an agricultural institution, but he's gonna try. Since he's just 12, he's too young to enter college, and since he's only 5'2 he's too short to play baseball, but anybody with light brown hair and blue eyes doesn't need height or age to be popular. Bebo is very popular, and really a good kid. Nit: Why did the little moron cut her fingers off? Wit: Because she wanted to write short-hand.

Sparkle is what Iudy Lawson has plenty of! She's a pleasant, helpful girl filled with smiles for everyone. Cute as a button! is how everyone describes Iudy. Her shining black hair and laughable blue eyes set off a smiling face. She measures a neat 5'21f2 in height and weighs ll5 lbs. Iudy was born in Austin on September 29, 1938 and attended Rosedale before coming to Baker. She is a Student Council representative and belongs to the Austeens and F.H.A. Iudy tops the song Tell Me Your Mine, the singer Ioni Iames, and movie stars Debbie Reynolds and Robert Wagner on her list of favorites. Mr. Collins and speech seem important in the way of school. Playing basketball . . . eating fried chicken . . . and drinking cokes with Mike Hornsby fO.A.O.I is lots of fun. Iudy numbers horse-back riding first among her hobbies. Iust ask Iudy about her thought of tomorrow and she'll give you this unexpected answer. You couldn't pay me to be an old maid! Next to Mike, she thinks Baker's tops. A wonderful personality makes Iudy so nice to know. 'One and Only. IKE TAYLUH By Linda Willoughby About 15 years ago that big white bird Iknown best as the storkl, dropped a bouncing baby boy Cbest described as Ike Tay- lor.I on October 7th, l937, in Beaumont, Texas. Now Ike is half-way grown. He is 5'll , has blue eyes, blond hair, and weighs l35 pounds. His height and weight could be ex- plained by the fact that Mr. Tay- lor's favorite food is hamburgers. I-lis most liked color is blue, top sport on his list is baseball, and of course along with all these must go Mr. Pine and Science. Although Ike says he has no favorite gal friend, everybody knows he thinks Gayle Sullivan is just too nice for words. lke has only been in Baker for 3 years but he says he must admit it's been the best three years of his life. Let's all thank the stork for bringing such a swell person to us.

Those clothes look real george on ya! What? Not yours? Yep, it happens every day. Most girls are immuned to their own clothes, so? They trade. Maybe it's just my imagination but it seems the boys are still in the same old rut-blue jeans and cotton shirts. But then I guess we can stand it, can't we girls? Can I wear it? Have you seen them yet? If you haven't seen the Iournalism class' press keys, you're missing something. They're silver, and have Baker 52-53 writ- ten on the back, and well, they are hard to describe so why not go up to any girl or boy from the Iournalism Class and take a look -it doesn't cost to look. Have you been up to the drug store lately and seen about five girls fighting over straws and all drinking one coke? It seems to be one of the latest fads enjoyed by Carol Wyckoff, Laura Guerrero, Martha Smith, Donna Bonds, Gayle Sullivan, and Barbara Mc- Daniels.
