PAGE FOUR THE BAKER ROCKET - Perronozlitzler - This month's personalities are 7th grade, Emily Ann Ford, 8th grade, Janice Kuhn, and 9th grade, Delbert Moberg. Oh, to be 5' 2 again, moan- ed some 9th grade girls of Baker. The reason? Why that good-look- ing Delbert Moberg, of course. I-le happens to be 5' 4 tall, has greenish-brown eyes and brown hair with a flat top cut. Packed into that 5' 4 is the most wonder- ful personality you've ever known. Delbert has a long list of fav- orites, but here are some of his main ones: baseball, Mr. Hicker- son, math, Mexican food, Oh, My Papa , and maroon and white. l-le plans to go to Texas AGM and become a professional football player and a meterologist on the side. Flash! Alert all girls! Delbert is on the loose in the field. Grab that bat, girls! A darling girl with a bubbling laugh and an adorable personali- ty. Have you guessed who it is already? For those who are a mite slow at guessing, the girl is this month's 8th grade personality, lanice Kuhn. lt seems lanice likes to watch T.V. and especially My Little Margie. She also favors B A L D W l N Pianos and Organs Capitol Piano Co. l5I8 Guadalupe Street p it :oem1inxenuzoioioicmxoimxou ' .

At the moment she lives at 4205 Speed- way and her phone number is 53-4213. So, grab the phone, boys, real quick, because first come- first served. Our 7th grade personality spot- light turns this month on lovely Emily Ann Ford. Our tiny little personality this month has brown hair, hazel eyes, and is 13 years old. Her birthday is Ianuary 29, and the place was Brownwood, Texas. Miss Cole and Mr. McLe- more are tops on her favorite teacher list, so it seems natural that speech and social studies would be her favorite subjects. Sea food is tops in food with Emily. lt looks as though Emily's interested in acting since she is now a member of the Baker Drama Club and her ambition for the future is to be a drama teacher or to work on the stage. Kids, if you haven't met her, take my advice and do so at once. Summer ls the Happy Time Bakerites, are making plans for their summer activities as they wait for school to end. George Huff is dreaming of go- ing to the country where he can be lazy and sleep often. Cecil Catchings and Ronald Davis can hardly wait till they're off on fish- ing trips. Wonder if they'll catch anything? Lillian Ross plans to visit local swimming pools quite often as she enjoys swimming. lanice Kuhn agrees with her, too, that there's nothing quite as en- joyable as this. Mary Steger wants to spend her spare time in West Texas, while Patsy Wilder thinks Colorado is the place for her vacation. lanice Kohrs is the wandering type, too, as she plans to go to Mexico, lowa, Missouri and Houston, Texas. Delores Rum- mel is also the type who goes in for swimming, she also plans to spend some time of her summer at her grandmother's house. Well, you may not be planning something like these Bakerites, but we're quite sure that whatever you do this summer it's bound to be enjoyable. BAKERITES SPEND THEIR EASTER HOLIDAYS You know it isn't but once a year you get out of school for Eas- ter holidays, so it's best to make the most out of them. Here are the ways some of our Bakerites spend theirs: E Leroy Eastburn-Spends his time looking at girls' Easter bonnets. james Spaw-Eating candy. Betty Snowden-Betty says she lays polka dot Easter eggs. flslow do you do it Betty?l Iocelyn Burris-Hunting Easter eggs. Helen West-Spends her time hiding Easter eggs for her little sisters.

THE BAKER ROCKET Our Principals Speak To the student of Baker School: l feel that we have one of the best groups of students that have ever gone to Baker School. There have been very few known cases of vandalism or destruction of public property of any kind this year. The building and school furniture show very few signs of wilful defacing so common to public buildings. On the other hand many students are very careless about throwing paper and other items on the floor and leaving the building in a mess. I think the students are to be congratulated for the fine name they have made for their school this year. l..et's improve the weak spots and keep others up to par. What do you say? , l..l-. EAVESDROPPING AROUND BAKER Dig those crazy haircutsl l won- der what barber did that job on those boys. Oh, l know, they are future high school football play- ers? They had spring training during February, and the seniors at McCallum initiated them by cutting their hair. Wayne Fickel, jerry Scarbrough, Don Renner, Don Fincher, Sam Olguin, Roger Wilkinson, Iimmy Kanetzky, and Wiley Wyman were the boys from Baker chosen to go out for spring training at McCallum. They are also the boys with the burrs and flat tops. ln places, their hair just plain ain't there! WRIGI-IT'S PARK G LOCK CONGRESS AT ELEVENTH Austin THESE J UVENILES Say, they're talking about us! Yep, as much as we hate to ad- mit it, we are the kids, the ones in junior high and high school, that people mean when they say, What's this younger generation coming to? The fact is, sometimes we don't leave a very good im- pression. Everyone likes to have fun, es- pecially teen-agers, but when fun comes under the heading of da- maging other peoples' property it's time we reformed. Things we might consider all in fun don't appeal to other people the same way. We should learn to think twice before we do something that is questionable fun. We'll be better friends among ourselves and with grown-ups. l..et's go all out to make our generation one of the best and to show adults that what this generation is coming to is a safer, more competent adulthood. BROTHERHOOD FOR BAKER On the morning of February 23, l954, three speakers were at Baker in conjunction with Brotherhood W'eek. They were Rabbi Brand- iss, representing the jewish re- ligion, Reverend Stephenson, rep- resenting the Protestant religion, and Father Matocha, representing the Catholic religion. They spoke on the merits of brotherhood with no prejudices because of creed, race, or religion and the possibil- ities ot world peace through an effort such as this. Speakers were at different schools through the work of the National Association of Christians and lews which has dedicated the week of February 21 through 27 as National Brotherhood Week. -s it :.: tai: ,:::'-as at-1:s-.Sm i t 51,212 'i 1152515221112:tai2-225 1fE'2-?tyt2:iEa2ta:1i5iisizizi2::-1::asI::I:a2z:ii:E2i2Ei2Q1E2si:,.gc? 2 filet -, 51515152 52525255.525:525-s'29?Q25i22-525251515:Qf15:Is:lei5555555ei55EE-E15'2ziEzE1EeE:f2-.iff '- ,:,:,.1:1-1,:.:1,1,1- sr: t,g5,:,:,1,:.:::::iit 24. :,,:.:1:,,t .5-11: :,,,,.:1:. ,,1, 1,5-1-.,.,. 15:21:51-::k:2s:,:,,t,:,q.,., ,,1,.:,::,1,1- var'- ,5:g:5:s-1:3:1-:: .,.. - .3-3:35,fp,zrrt:5:t:5,-:::,:,11:.:-:,:.- g:5::,.5:gr1-1,1,1-'-.. , .1q:5:::,-1. :1:,:g,-C ,- 411:-:--:-49:2-'-Q:-31. 4.1.111.1.,.,.:Z,fm-,:,,,-,-.-.gtg :,.v.5.f.:1.:.5.?gg:-:1 ,f,:.g.,.,4,, .,.:,:,:,:,,,,,,.-,:,.-.-5:11 . ::::3.2:2:1:2:5-2-'r1::::::4:r1r:r, 21:52:31:f:sz:1::::r:r.52:1-222 f--e'.'.': zr.5:5::f-E- 'ftr2:5:-:ii'2'2:1:f:..r1:1:::.r:5:: . sa ,..,, ' ., ..., 1 ...... 21' iiE12a2e2?12:E:5i:EzE:if :fiiiiiii . 12islsgsezzstezieieizis i: assaletii'Ee2e::Ei52sE:-riftif ,,,.. fi' .r.-..ws-...v.:.:.1.1.'.?.i.-.--.'.1.s-v-1-...iv4,,,.,,..'-i.:4a6s - w-1fh- !v5,-.- sgQx.,,.,...A.s,,,:4 ,..,, . ., .....,. 2,b,....3w . . , . .M ... ,.

Basketball seems to be the main topic in girls' P.E. now. After go- ing through skills for two weeks and then playing games in class they started intrarnurals. ludging by the noise in the gym after school they seem to be having loads of fun. Miss Thigpen was in charge of the lr. High Physical Education float in the parade Friday, March 5. lt was decorated in white crepe paper with blue lettering. On this float was one tumbling pyramid, boys and girls with equipment representing the different sports taught in gym classes, and a dis- cussion group around a black- board. We're real proud of the students at Baker who were on this float. CONGRATULATIONS Red Hot explains how our basketball team was this year. Every team that they didn't beat was still nervous from the close shave they just had. At the games you probably wondered how they racked up so many points. We are very grateful to the bas- ketball team for their support of Baker and we congratulate them all for everything. ALLAN NIPS BUCS The favored Allan Bulldogs beat Baker for the second time of the year as they had to stop a Baker second half rally. The Bulldogs were hitting superb the first half as they led 27 to 12. The down- hearted Buckaroos came out with a staggering comeback as they cut the 15 point lead to a mere field goal. The Bulldogs put a freeze and the Baker five began to foul. Delbert Moberg scored 13 points to lead both teams. .,.. , ..,..: , ' E E Hyde Park Hardware eoffffl 4 t as HARDWARE -sPoRnNe eoons fflflflfemfy CWOP Sherwin-Williams Paint Shop Us pgrs-y or Lasq- 305 Congress 4l2I Guadalupe Phone 5-3225 I306 GUADALUPE The So?31l?UiT1BnIl5iaurant 301 A U1 1.
