Page Four THE BAKER RO CKET IN THE PRESS BOX By Martha Smith How do you like this issue of the paper? The journalism class sure would like to know. They can know too, if you will write us a short letter telling us what you have to say about the Baker Rocket. Yes, that's right, this year our press box will be sitting out in front of the main office for you, the students, to put in your cri- ticism an d suggestion for the paper. lf you don't like something about your school paper or if you have a suggestion write us a short note and tell us so. We will pub- lish as many letters as space per- mits from those we receive, right here in this space. You don't have to sign your name to your letters if you do not wish to, but do write and tell us what you think, after all this is your paper. By the way, we want letters not only about the paper, but also the school. WE'VE BEEN NOTICED By Pepper Baldwin Baker started the school year off by being in the news. At the very beginning of school a write-up appeared in the Austin daily paper about our wonderful foot- ballteam. There are a few return- ing lettermen. The write-up also mentioned the decrease in our en- rollment, and the new coach. The day following the election of the Baker cheerleaders, a small feature was printed which stated the names of all yell leaders. lt also included the names of the alternates. Perhaps by the time the next issue of the Rocket is published, Baker will have made the society page! There's good eating ahead SOCIETY One afternoon at 3:30 l was going by the boy's locker room when l ran into one of the boys on the football team. He is 5 feet 7 inches tall, has brown hair and eyes and of course he is none other than Wayne Fickel of the 9th grade. He was born in this city on November l0, l939. We soon got to talking and l learned that his favorite sport Cas if we didn't knowj is football, he is one of the captains of the Buckaroos. His favorite teacher is Coach Hickerson. He said he also likes gym, the colors green and white, television, and Sandy Hitchcock tough luck girlsj. Besides his good looks, he has a very won- derful and rare personality, why not meet him and find out for yourself. Our 8th grade personality for this month is brown eyed, brown haired, Claryce Smith. Born thir- teen years ago in Taylor, Texas, this is her first year in Baker. Her favorite teachers are Mr. Childers and Miss Thigpen and favorite subjects being social studies and P. E. She likes to dance, listen to popular music, and collect hit parade books. As of yet she has worry boys, she'll change her mind soon, if she hasn't already. lf you haven't met our Sth grade personality, do so. You'll be glad you did. lt was awfully quiet about three o'clock on the morning of May 25, l94l, but at 4:30 the whole town of Port Arthur, Texas, felt a shock. NOTI-llNG SERIOUS. Luckily, it was nothing serious, at least not very serious: Glenda Rutledge, our 7th grade person- ality, was just delivered to the world. Glenda lives at 5208 Duval with her parents, her younger brother, and her piano, which she enjoys playing very much. lf you can't find this blondish brown haired, blue eyed girl at home listening to Bing Crosby or the song, Va- ya Con Dots , you may find her enjoying her favorite sports, rid- ing horses and swimming. Glenda is 5' tall and plans to be a school teacher when she is older. She also likes the colors, pink and blue, teacher, Mr. Mc- Lemore, and subject, speech. You can lead your son to school, but you can't make him L L'-.

At every school gathering, you'll find Bakerites supporting our school. lt is our school and we have made it what it isp a nice, clean, democratic school. Be proud of it and keep it that way. One of the best ways is to let the public see our students to- gether participating in various activities. Let them see us as a friendly and polite group because actions speak louder than words. Let us conduct ourselves in such a way that they will say Gee, I like that school. I hope to see Baker's new stu- dents at the next football game cheering madly or enjoying the next dance. I'd like to welcome all the new comers to our student body and hope they enjoy this school year. Please remember our school is something to cheer about! Early in the first quarter Sam Bowman plowed over to pay dirt for the Scotties first touchdown. The conversion was also good. Baker had the ball on their own two yard line when the Scotties caught a Baker man behind the goal to give them a safety, and led 9-U. As the half ended the Mc- Callum eleven led I5-U. Playing good defensive were Wiley Wi- man, Ierry Scarbrough, and Bill Hamilton. Baker could never move and the Scotties scored two more touchdowns and made one extra point before the gun sound- ed. Playing a good game were Roger Wilkinson, Ierry Marx, and Don Renner. Others helping out were Victor Mokry, Don Fincher, Walter Wiman and Iohn Thomp- son.
