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!

Page 6 BAKER ROCKET Santa Was Good To Baker Boys and Girls Santa was quite busy being good to Baker girls and boys this Christmas. Jocelyn Burris got a bright blue bath- robe, while Mary Lynn Metz got a blue formal. Priscilla Scharfe got six tubes of lipstick and Barbara Rush got six pairs of earrings. Santa must like bright colors because he brought Dora Flores a bright maroon dress and Lillian Kunkel a pair of flaming red pajamas. Marilyn HenderL son will not have a dull moment with her new leather hand kit. Santa left some pretty unusual gifts this year. Judy Berry fand familyj got an aqua and white 55 Ford. Cherry Strong got a transoceantic radio while Lynell Stanford got two bottles of Mavis Dierborn perfume shaped as a king and queen's heads. Charlotte Greenlees got two real pretty rickrack hair clips. Last but not least Lillie Mae Clopton got a new baby nephew.

Mrs. Hart explained it carefully, but there were a few stu- dents who did not catch on and' spent half of the period looking for the first word which was mohast reom-Thomas More. It was a good thing Mrs. Hart didn't take the grades. It goes to show that you have to listen to the teacher or they can get you mixed up terribly. ,.,l1..1i11- Science Classes Sfudy Sound The ninth grade Science Classes are now beginning to study sound. They have just finished studying heat and energy. Miss Moore has explained the parts of the ear. They will continue studying sound for six weeks. Santa seems to have been pretty nice to Baker boys, too. For instance, Jimmy Finger said he got his fourth Cadillac. Charles Dodson Cadillac, too. Mr. Atlanta, Georgia, with family. Mr. room and dining also said he got a Darnell took a trip to to spend the holidays Childers got a living room rug. Earl Dean got S15 Qlucky boyj. Have you seen those fancy pink bow ties Mr. Cowan got? Mr. Jeffrey said he got a three hump camel. Jimmy Davis got a pool table. Jimmy Carter got a burr haircut. Jesse Freeman got a belt from Allan Rogers. Santa sure was good to these boys but some of this sure sounds fishy. i..l...l - School Pictures Come Back They're good! Oh I think they're terrible! But they look just like you! Oh go on! Conversations like this could be heard all over the building on December 9. That was the day the school pictures were returned. The whole package of 24 pictures cost 51.005 6 wallet prints were 50cg and 12 wallet prints were 75c. ROCKET RECEIVES NAME In the year 1949, Baker's paper needed a name. The pupils of Baker were then requested to put a name into the press box. The Journalism class was to choose a name for the paper from the sug- gestions. From the suggestions put in the press box, the present name of the paper, THE BAKER ROCKET was chosen. This year is the seventh year this name has been in use. George Lets Us In 011 His Secrets George is a common name, but this is a special person. Let him give you some hints about himself. I was at Valley Forge and was also the first president of the United States. I'm sure you know by now who I am 3 I'm George Washington and I would like to tell you about money, on which my picture appears. You can use money for many things but I hear at Baker that there is 433 accounts in Mutual Savings. Out of this number of accounts 285 are regular bankers. I also know that Nina Jane Austin has the largest account in the school. Saving your money is a good thing to do with it. Have you tried it ?
