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.

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!
