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.

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.

PAGE SIX THE BAKER ROCKET BOYS' P. E. NEWS Necum-volley tennis-and vol- leyball. That is what the boys' gym classes from the third grade up have been playing. Perhaps you didn't know it, but these are all names for nearly the same sport. Necum is played by the third and fourth grades, and it is like volleyball except for the fact that you catch the ball. In volley tennis, played in the fifth and sixth grades, the ball bounces once and you hit it back. And, of course, in seventh, eighth, and ninth grade volleyball the ball is hit back before it hits the floor. To start off the second semester will be track, and finally baseball at the end of the school year. i1 BASKETBALL QUIZ l. When was the game basket- ball originated? 2.
