PERSONALITIES THIS MONTH. BAKER ROCKET Page 3 PERSONALITIES BILL CARTER DONNIE TEW, AND PAT FOREMAN ARE OUR NINTH GRADE Other schools don't compare with Baker, because Baker is just right! That's just what our ninth grade per- sonality Pat Foreman said when she was asked the familar question, What do you think about Baker? Pat is 14 and was born in Lockhart, Texas. She likes everyone and especially the color green. It looks swell with her brownish blonde hair and hazel eyes, too. Oh, by the way, Pat is 5'1 tall and has a darling figure. ll Pat adores Mr. Pine and loves Math. She is also interested in F.H.A. work. Listening to the radio, going to ball games, and Hancock are out of school favorites with Pat. This should prove why Pat Foreman was chosen for our ninth grade person- ality for this month. EIGHTH GRADE Our eighth grade spotlight this month When he was asked what his favorite sport was, he answered, I like football as a spectatos' sport, and I like to play basketball. His favorite subject is Math, and when asked who his favorite teacher is he would not comment but said he liked them all. For a pasttime Donnie likes to watch television, his favorite program is That's My Boy . His hobby is woodworking. Girls, looks like you're falling off on your job because he says there is no certain girl at the present. A word of warning, Donnie, a boy can ride a bicycle just so long without falling. SEVENTH GRADE Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue ,-this doesn't describe the seventh grade per- sonality for this month, because he is only 4115 tall. He weighs ninety-two pounds.. Sh-Boom, red, Mexican food, Pat Hugland, Mrs. Baker, and reading seem to rate tops on Billy Carter's list of BOP AND BE BOP Bop records are popular with a lot of the teenagers and adults today. The journalism class decided to see just how popular they are with the students and faculty of Baker. Here are some of the opinions: Mrs. Cooper fsecretaryj-- I like them and I'm in favor of more of them! Mr. Jeffery- I like them! Mary Grice- I think they are all right if they are the right kind. Dot Hall- I like 'em! Frances McGee- They're okay at certain places. Claudette Patton- I don't feel they should- be played at school dances. Margie McIntyre- I think they're pretty good just so they're kept in cer- tain places. David Bryant- Play more of them! Janice Kohrs- Some are suitable for dances and some aren't. Pat Foreman- I think it's a lot of fun to bop and watch other people bop, but I don't think it has a very good influence on some teenagers. Billy Linder- I think we should have more of them. I'm crazy about them! Jimmy Finger- I don't know but I think all the teenagers like them. Judy Berry- Love them. Mr. Darnell- I don't u n d e r s t a n d them. Coach Hickerson- Ugh! Darlene Dailey- Could listen to them all day. Mr. Childers- I don't think they're all right to listen to. P is turned on Donnie Tew. Donnie is faVQ1'iteS- .

The year started with a boom for the club when they had their first meeting on Septem- ber 28. They decided to give a dance, which was given, and was a huge success.

The Dramatic Club is going to give two one act plays on November 18-19. The plays are Patchwork Quilt and The Portrait of Nelson Holiday, Junior.

Included in the concert were spirituals and broad- way musicals. The soloists for the con- cert were Allen Rogers and Tommy Alexander. Mr. Sayers has five in his orchestra but needs a few more players to play the brass instruments. The Children's Symphony Concert that was given at the coliseum had a large turnout.

Page 4 BAKER ROCKET ii ' Public property artist at work. Devotionals Begin Day Between 8:30 and 8:50 A.M. every morning about five minutes are used specially for Baker students. This is our devotional time. When the inter-commu- nication system comes on for these de- votionals all is to be set aside and every- one's attention turned to them. The devotionals are not to be half-way heard or ignored. They're there to have God's presence known in your classroom and throughout theschool. Let's put on our thinking caps and really let it soak in. Gene Mayes and Scottie Montgomery show the correct way.

Mrs. Letha Conradt GREAT ARTISTS AT WORK Did you know Baker has such wonder- ful artists? You will see C.B.8rC.M. LOVES M.E.8zG.T. Be sure you show what a wonderful artist you are by leaving your name and who you like carved on the charis in the auditorium. I don't even try to listen to the assem- blies I just bring my trusty knife and start carving away. Sometimes it's dangerous though because Mr. Cowan and other teachers start looking for me. And believe me it will be terrible if I get caught. So be careful like me. .-1.-1L.... Compliments To You Way Down Way down is where the volume needs to go. Noise and teenagers have in this day and time come to mean the same thing. When adults think about teen- agers, they think about noise. When teenagers are together, they never talk to the one beside them but someone about twenty feet away. Today's cool teens are just crazy about this real gone bop and cat world. When they play the radio or the record player up goes the volume loud as possible and they have a real crazy mixed-up time. As Solomon said, There is a time and place for everythingg and the occasional burst of enthusiasm of youth is to be expected, yes, even appreciated, in its proper time and place. However, teenagers should keep in mind that there are other people in the world-some older, some younger. Some mustwork nights and sleep days, while others are sick or in great sorrow. Some are performing difficult tasks that re- quire concentration and skill, while others are studying for future years. All of them would appreciate your thoughtful co- operation. So, kids, let's turn the volume way down. Isn't it just wonderful the way our T:LA:,,::::eaffffffe.-ffffefff little gym and grounds look and the way 1: 1: our courtesy is practiced at lunch. Every- ft The Students Jeweler I: body just loves the way paper, crackers, candy peanuts, Dr. Peppers, and other 1, 1, junk are found all over the gym floor, ' ' ' If windows and benches. Everybody just Neck Chains adores the way we act on the grounds 11 11 too. More people have complimented us Initials on throwing rocks in the band room win- dows and making so much noise that no :1 ChaI'IIlS 11 one in class can hear.
