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.

They are Mrs. Mildred Baker, Miss Wilma Reichert, Miss Patsy Over- ton, Mr. Clinton Mathews, and Mr. Doyle Hickerson. Miss Reichert, born in San juan, Texas, has just moved to Austin. She graduated from A. and l. College in Kingsville. This is her first year of teaching and she said it is fascinating work. She teaches the fourth grade. Mrs. Baker, too, has just moved to Austin and has always wanted to live here. Her husband is or student in the university. She was born in Avery, Texas, and grad- uated from East Texas State Teachers College in Commerce, Texas. Before she moved to Aus- tin she taught English in Farmers- ville High School and was li- brarian in an elementary school in Uvalde. She majored in social studies and English, and teaches social studies and language arts. Mr. Mathews was born in Aus- tin, and graduated from the Uni- versity of Texas. This traveling teacher taught at seven different schools in one day. They were Brykerwoods, Rosedale, Brent- wood, Ridgetop, Wooldridge, Go- valle, and Zavala, the subject being sixth grade instrumental music. He now teaches Band l, ll, and Ill, and mathematics. Mr. Hickerson, our coach, was a junior high coach at a very large junior high in Texarkana for one month. He was born in Texarkana and was stationed at Bergstrom Air Force Base for two years before he came to Baker. He said that we would have a lot of playing in the next football games. ' Miss Overton, born in Austin, graduated from Southwestern University in Georgetown. She taught the second grade in Thorn- dale high school, elementary combined and in an elementary school in Brownsville. This is her first year of teaching in an Austin school and Baker is the largest shool she has taught in. She says Baker is just fine. F.H.A. HOLDS DANCE By Charlotte Currier and Dee Dee Williams As we walked into the gayly decorated gym of the dance given by the F. H. A., October 2nd, we saw green and white streamers and bright balloons everywhere. A few of the people who made up the stag line were: jerry Scar- brough, Roger Wilkinson, Don Fincher, Gene Mallard, Leroy Eastburn, Claryce Smith, Barbara Booker, Betty Green, and Vir- ginia King. The most exciting moment was the announcing of the F. H. A. chapter officer. Probably the most excited was Sherry Bailey who got the office of president. The F. H. A. thanks you for your cooperation for not breaking any bottles or leaving any bottle tops on the floor. OUR P.T.A. TALKS By Liz Schwab Our P.T.A. is just now organiz- ing and getting things going. The P. T. A. had their first meet- ing on October 13, at 7:30, on the back to school night. They haven't made any plans yet, but they have elected officers. They are as follows: President: Mrs. W.

We are grateful to all the women who take part in our P. T. A.-it means a lot to our school. HOW ABOUT MORE ASSEMBLIES By Bill Rice Do you have an interesting play or skit you and your class would like to put on? lf you do, we can certainly use you in an assembly. Almost every class has something that they can put on. lf we get up enough assem- blies we can have one every week, and we know you would like that. You enjoy watching them Cwe thinkl-why not put one on? Talk to your teachers and get one up. Let's have an assem- bly every week this year. LOOKED IN YOUR DICTIONARY LATELY? As we wandered down the halls, it was amazing how many different answers we got from the question, What would you do if someone gave you a 'smack'. Here are a few from our intelligent Bakerites. judy Berry-'lls it contagious? jimmy Finger- lt would be al- right as long as it's Claryce Smith. Patsy Wann- l'd give it back. Lamar Anderson- It would be allright it it were the right girl. Claryce Smith- I'd grin and bear it. Carol Wyckoff- l'd be walk- ing on cloud lucky seven. jerry Scarbrough- lt may be silly, but ain't it fun! A smack is silly, because it's just a Boat, not what you think it is.
