The program will be on KTBC TV at 1:00 P.M. .i..ll.... i-i AUSTIN POPULATION JUMPS January 25, 1955, at St. David's Hos- pital, 1:31 P.M., a 9 pound, 6 oz., 22 inch, boy was born. The son of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Childers, Jr. was named Brady G. Childers. Mr. Childers, who is Baker's Shop teacher, is a very proud father. Tears are not always tears of grief: Vera Carter's tears were tears of hap- piness as she received a bouquet of red roses for being elected F.H.A. Valentine Sweetheart for 1955. Her uncle, Mr. A. J. Hamilton had to furnish the handkerchief. Mr. Bill Bessler is Baker's new Math teacher. He taught at O. Henry and Crystal City previously. He is married and has two boys: one three years of age and the other four months. Mr. Bessler says he enjoys the friendliness and traditions of Baker. Friendship Week Planned The week of April 18-22 has been de- clared Friendship Week by the Student Council. To start off the week there will be a 'Sunrise Dance. Friendship books will be sold to be signed by classmates. During the week the girls will carry the boy's books on a certain day and on another day the boy's will carry the gir1's books. To end this celebrated week there will be an Aloha Dance where the friendliest boy and girl will be announced. Attention 9th Graders The Rocket Staff requests that you turn in a school picture for the year book to Mrs. Conradt as soon as possible if you have not done so already.
