PAGE FOUR THE BAKER ROCKET - Peryonalitzev - Personalities for this 'month are: 8th grade, Mary Sue Schwartz, 9th grade, John Thompson, and 7th grade, Darlene Daily. On Ianuary 14, 1939, a very wonderful thing happened to Texas, Iohn Thompson, our 9th grade personality for this month, came into the world. He's that cute 5' 6 blonde with blue eyes. Nancy Dement tops his list as favorites with his others being: hobby, watching T. V.: sport, footballg song, Me Without You g singer, Slim Whitman, sub- ject, social studies, and naturally his favorite teacher is Mrs. Hart. Iohn's ambition for the future is to be a football coach and his favorite colors are green and white. lt seems that he is quite loyal to those colors for he was captain of the football team this season. He also takes an active part in the student council and the Boy Scouts. Iohn seems to have a natural born way with people and my ad- vice is to meet him real soon, if you haven't already. One gay afternoon, about thirty minutes atfer school was out, in San Saba, Texas, March 0, 1940, our 8th grade personality was born. Of course you know who this pleasant girl is. She weighs 108 lbs., is 5' 3 tall, has blond hair, and blue eyes. This de- scribes none othe than Mary Sue Schwartz. Marv Sue is in quite a list of activities. Among them are F.H.A. of which she is unit president, .a student council representative, a majorette, and she is on the Rock- et staff. Her favorite pasttime is danc- ing, while her favorite song is Ebb Tide and her favorite color, brown. You could probably find her at times at a hamburger stand eating her favorite food, which is hamburgers, of course. ' Boys, her telephone number is 5-0164, but you'll have big corn- petition since her boyfriend is Don Renner. This month we are throwing our 7th grade personality spot- light on a cute 7th grade girl. Darlene Dailey is a little brown haired, hazel eyed girl and is 5' 2 tall. Her favorite colors are pink and blue and Mr. Mclsemore is her favorite teacher. Tops on her song list is Vaya Con Dias and she has a hobby of collecting small cups and saucers. Darlene was born in Round Rock in 1941. Before coming to Baker she went to Rosedale. When asked who her boyfriend was, she replied, 1 don't have one at the present. So boys here's your chance, her phone number is 53-0720, in case you are interested. lf you see her walking around the halls, stop and talk to her. You'll be glad you did, for she's a wonderful person. New Yeor's Resolutions Iohn Thompson-not to make any more new year resolutions. Iohn Sherrill-not to play hooky any more. Carol Moore-to get a boy friend and keep him. Donnie Tew-not to talk so much. Nancy Ramm-not to be bash- ful. Sandy Hitchcock-to be 16 and never been kissed. Wayne Fickel-to break San- dy's resolution. Wiley Wyman-to be a good boy, to love everybody and to do what everybody says. Raymond Hatton-not to de- clare holidays fto avoid hours after schooll. All I Want for Christmas- Gee 'Whizl Poor Santa Claus! A lot of Bakerites are expecting just loads of presents. To most of us it is interesting to know what oth- ers are wishing for on Christmas. The question, What do you want for Christmas? was asked to several Baker students. E. C. Mowdy-will settle for a 5' tall, blue eyed and brown haired girl weighing 102 lbs. with a figure like a coke bottle. Arthur Chester we proclaimed, The A+ in Algebra that 1 should have been able to earn. fGee, 1 would be satisfied if 1 made a B Plus, wouldn't you'?l Ella Dean Franks- Me, 1 don't knew. fl bet she has a list ten feet long.l Lamarr Anderson - A girl. fM'm l wonder who.l Sarah Ioan Powell-would love to have black hair.

Craig Haydon-Not asking for much, wants a million dollars. Didn't you know Craig, that rnons ey is the root of all evil and we certainly don't want you to be- come evil.

THE BAKER ROCKET PAGE THREE STUDENT COUNCIL HAS ELECTION OF OFFICERS The election of the student council officers was held October 28, 1953. The officers are as fol- lows: Wiley Wyman as president, Ierry Scarbough as vice-pesident, and Martha Smith as secretary. The first student council meeting of the school term met November ll, 1953, at the beginning of sec- ond period in the auditorium, Wiley Wyman, president, pre- sided. First he appointed repre- sentatives to serve on six com- mittees for the betterment of the school. These committees are: the bicycle committee, lunchroom committee, b o t tl e committee, paper committee, wall committee, and hall committee. Wiley ap- pointed a chairman for each com-I mitted and four or more represen- tatives. The chairman of these committees are: Bicycle-Wayne Fickely Lunchroom-Patsy Bigger- staffg Wall-Ina Faye Rippy, Bot- tle - Helen Langfordy Paper - Dennie Dementp Hall - Scotty Montgomery. These committees have certain duties to carry out such as seeing that all coke bot- tles are kept in the little gym, and things of that sort, depending on the committee. SPORTS Do you know the meaning for sports? Well, I bet you don't. The definition is: a general term ap- plied to both indoor and outdoor games requiring physical or men- tal skill, usually of a competitive nature. There are about seventy- five popular games of sports. Quite a wide variety I would say. A person ought to have a skill in some sport, even if it is skating or swimming. GROCERY - MARKET 3035 Guadalupe Student Council officers Jerry Scarborough, vice-president, Martha Smith, secretary, and Wiley Wyman, president, compare ideas for the bet- terment of Baker. ELEMENTARY NEWS Let's look in on the elementary classes. Miss Rummel's sixth grade, is hard at work on an ele- mentary newspaper, TI-IE BAKER BANNER. They are also writing poems and short stories. Mrs. I-Iord's fifth graders are enjoying the pretty desks they have. They are studying a unit about the early settlers of America and the first thirteen colonies. The fourth graders in Miss Kavanaugh's room are writing poems. FAIR- IES AND THE MOON which was written by Iudith Cook, is a very interesting sample. Miss Reichart's fourth grade students made a book tree for the bulletin board. A student who reads a certain number gets a leaf. Each pupil continues until he has read fifteen books. Some second grade students are telling what they want Santa to bring them. Clifton Baccus just wants guns, a model T, tinker toys, and a stocking filled with whatever good things Santa has in his pack. Alfred Starewich must plan to be a cowboyy he wants cowboy boots and a hat. Better write Santa a letter, Alfred, to make sure he knows what kind. you want. Kay LaG-rone wants Santa to bring her a cowboy suit, hat, and boots, a stocking and some dolls-and guess what - three tubes of lipstick. I hope Santa remembers all that. Don't you? Who Are Our Wclllflowers? What do you boys come to a dance for-to stand around and grow tall? Well, if this is your rea- son, you do o pretty good job of it. Believe me, that's not what the girls come for. We come to have fun and dance. At the last dance I walked in the door, expecting to see the big gym crowded with people danc- ing but that wasn't the case at all. Oh! It was crowded all right, that is, the space around the wall was crowded. If you boys don't get hep with the times we'll end up with no dances at all! So at the next dance don't you boys be wallflowers. I..et's see you boys out and dance like Gayle Parr, Don Fincher. Letter to Santa Dear Santa: My name is Little Tommy and I live on Dreamland Street. I just thought I'd drop a letter so you would know just what to bring. Now Daddy wants a shirt. And tie? maybe could you bring a Mommy wants a nightgown, one with frills and little bow ties. And sister Suzie wants a dress, like And those in picture magazines. brother Bill wants a suit to wear when he takes out sweet Irene. And now it comes to me, Santa, I don't want much at all. lust a teensie-weensie puppy, one that I can call my own. I guess that's all I got to say, 'cause I got to go to bed. Please remember Little Tommy and everything that I've said. This surely is a funny worldg Its wonders never ceaseg All civilized nations are at war, All savages at peace.

Although you may not think so, you probably see it roaming around the halls of Baker every day. Baby face has accomplished an important place in the ninth grade. lt has pleasant features, as well as the ability to resist crying in class. It's eyes and hair match, and although it doesn't look like it in the pictures, it has teeth, too. Some of its favorites are Drag- net and Mexican food. Its hobby is collecting stamps and if hun- gry it will resort to cooking. Can you guess who it is? Turn your guess into the press box in front of the office today. Don't forget to sign your name. The name of this well-known baby Calthough quite older nowl will appear in the next issue, so guess who it is.
