Page 8 BAKER ROCKET BETTY J0 ANTONIO A REAL, HONEST TO GOODNESS INJUN ? Did you know that we have a full- blooded Navajo Indian in our school? We do and a real cute one, too! Her name is Betty Jo Antonio. Betty is 12 years old and in the seventh grade. She is a representative for the student council. Also she takes tap and ballet dancing. She has two brothers. Betty said that at the reservation school they teach the children to speak English. They also teach trade and labor. If anyone wants. to learn other than trade and labor they have to attend a public school. Betty Jo wants to be a psychiatrist, so she has transferred to our school so that she may attend high school and college. Betty said that.. she likes Baker very much. She likes the children who go here: the teachers, too. Betty can speak Navajo, but she and her family don't speak it in town, al- though they have to at the reservation. Good luck, Betty, in all that you do! OUR COUNSELLOR Baker's counselor is Mr. Jeffery. He has been at Baker for five years. Stu- dents go to him with their problems and feel at ease. He was born here in Aus- tin, Texas. When asked how he felt about Baker, he replied, I think Baker is won- derful as far as schools go.

BAK1E,m,iocKlEQ MAI I Page7 SCOTTIES ROMP BUCKS The McCallum Scotties romped to a surprising win over the favored Baker Bucks, October 28, 1954, before a large crowd at House Park. Neither team had won a game, and the McCallum Scotties were really fired up. And fire they did, as a punch through the middle, early in the first quarter plus a good extra point, started the ball rolling. One score in the second quarter gave the Scotties a comfortable 13-0 lead at halftime. The Buc-ks opened the second half, kicking off to McCallum, only to have a 92 yd. Tunback for another Scotty TD. Two additional scores ended the third quarter 32-O, with the scoreless Bucks still looking in. Things changed as the fourth quarter opened with Baker touching the'McCal- lum ten. Deciding it was time to score, Walter Dollar plunged over for the score of the game. The extra point was good, ending the game at 32-7 and the first victory of the season for the McCal- lum Scotties, instead of the Baker Bucks. The boys working for the Buckroos during the 1954-55 season were: Cl. to r. front rowl Manager Billy Carter, Johnny Brown, Harley Saathoff, Robert Sullivan, Bill Foelsing, Lamar Anderson, Dickie Dannheim, Scotty Montgomery.
