Birthday Calendar Underway All set to go! was the reply when the band was asked about the Com- munity Birthday Calendar. The Band started the calendar about the middle of December and received supplies the latter part of the month. The listings are being sold for 3.25 per name and ads for 57.50. The calendars are on sale for 5.50. The picture of the band will be on the front of the calendar, and from 10 to The large Christmas tree, being the main attraction, was centered in the middle of the dance floor. Having been decorated with bright lights and orna- ments, it carried out a part of the idea of Christmas. The petite angels on four of the basketball backboards added to the idea. On one of the backboards at the end of the gym a glittering bell was hung to represent the Christmas Belles. On the wall at the opposite end of the gym three pastel candles were fastened. In the Little gym refreshments were served among the blue and white crepe paper streamers. A Cheer Merry Christ- mas was written on the blackboard. The different colors, styles, and fash- ions of the formals made the gym look like a page out of a leading fashion magazine. Some of the gallant gentle- men and dainty ladies who attended the Ball were Virginia King, Bill Foesling, Betty Green, Joyce Webb, Charles Dodson, Leroy Eastburn, Cotton Watford, Nita Barrington, Betty Snow- den, Montrue Hewitt, James McCutcheon, and Mary Metz. Footlight Players Present This coming spring the drama club will present a much requested three-act play, Little Women. It will have an all girl cast. Sometime during March the one-act contest play will be pre- sented. The contest play will be entered in competition with other Junior Highs.

Page 4 BAKER ROCKET CHARACTER FUTURE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION GUIDES CONDUCT What does the word conduct mean? Mr. Webster defines character as the peculiar qualities impressed by nature or habit of a person, which distinguishes him from othersg hence a character is not formed when the person has not acquired stable and distinctive qualities. Have you ever thought what your conduct does for you? It reveals your character. Are you one of those people who put on a perfect performance in public but at home you aren't pleasant with your parents? You should be nice to all people at all times, and by all means, your parents. It is true that character does guide conduct. If a person does not conduct himself in a proper way, his conduct is reflecting his character like a mirror. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS inn'I-NWI-nun'I--nvll QI Responsible Cleaning Since I9I'3 fi A person is building his future every minute he lives. During the coming year- there will be many happinesses and sorrows. The road ahead may have hills and valleys, storms and sunshiny days along the way. The pieces of the future's puzzle fall in place and begin to shape up every day. As each person received the wish for a Happy New Year he must remember that the year will be as happy as he makes it. The future you build for yourself is the future you'll get. Keep it clean, honorable, and worthwhile. Your future is your life. Wallflowers Just Wilt I'm a wallflower when I go to the dances.

RESPECT YOUR TEACHERS Respect for your teachers is one of the important factors in your school life together with always being courte- ous to them. Being courteous and re- specting your teachers will probably help you like them more and gain more con- fidence in them. It could be possible that in a few years from now you will need the help of your teachers you once had. It takes so little to be respectful and courteous. lb Then I get a good idea!
