Page 4 BAKER ROCKET FUTURE EXAMS WILL SOON BE HERE In the past few weeks many of us have taken midyear examinations. Long before was the time to start studying for them. Indeed by now most of us know what we made on each of these exams, where we made our mistakes, and should be looking toward being prepared for the finals in May. Check yourself by taking this special pre-examination Yes-No quiz and keep it to refer to as you prepare for future quizzes. Are you familiar with the goals of your courses? Have you understood the significance of your assignments? Do you know what have been stressed by your'teachers as the high spots of your courses? Do you know the special vocabularies of your courses? CParticiple, predicate, adiective, gerund in English.J , Havefyou mastered the various for- mulas, the fundamental laws- and 'rules of your courses? Do you know the significance of fa- mous people? Do you know the dates of important events? - Can you show relationships? QAnalyze the causes of the American Revolutiong ,Q TEXAS gg STATE BANK 1904 GUADALUPE Austin's only convenient K neighborhood bank 2 snnvns YoU 55 compare the sonnets of Shakespeare and Keats.J A no answer to any question means: Buckle down and start reviewing. Go over your notes, review your textbooks, attend any review classes that may be offered, get together with friends' and quiz each other on the tough items of your courses. Anticipation is preparation, too. An- ticipate your final exams by composing questi-ons for yourself and friends. Old tests and quizzes can give you valuable hints or clues to the type of question you may get on your finals. An examination is not a torture de- vice, but it is a personal challenge-a challenge, to you to show y-our teacher what you have learned, to prove that you can produce. Thorough preparation will drive out examination fears and drive in the self-confidence you need to meet this challenge. lii...l -- IS YOUR NAME GUMMY GLORIA? My name is Gummy Gloria. Every day before I go into my first period class I stick about four pieces of gum in my mouth. Today, it's that delicious bubble gum. The moment I start doing my lessons I start smacking my gum real loud. That makes gum staste better and besides that, a cute boy might notice me if I smack loud enough. I just can't resist it. I've just gotta blow a bubble. Did you hear that bubble pop? Man, oh, man, just about every- body in the class is looking at me. I can't concentrate on my- lessons very well while I'm chewing my gum. Oh, well, chewing gum is more important than lessons any old day. And the good thing about chewing gum in school is that as soon as I get tired of this piece I can either stick it under my chair Military Review Produces Penalties f'Shoulder5 back, dog-ears off, and stand in place! the company commander shouted.

That was company encyclopedia pass- ing for review. Of course, it wasn't Baker's military review, or was it? Messy book shelf, dog-eared pages, and writing all over you . . . you are guilty of first degree sloppiness and lazi- ness. Your puishment will be not finding the information you need, because you aren't in the right order, not being able to read you, because of the dog-eared pages and the writing on you, was the sentence given by the encyclopedia com- mander. How about it, kids? Next time the encyclopedia company in Baker's library passes in review, let's not earn any demerits. .l...1i.l....l- The Baker Rockef Sfaff Co Editor-in-chief, c,,,, Dee Dee Williams and Mary Sue Schwartz News Editor ..............,....,..,c Peggy Moore Feature Editor .........,., Charlotte Currier Club and Social Editor ,...

Fashions For Easter To Be Presented On March 17, 1955, a 45 minute as- sembly will be held for the Jr. High students of Baker. This will not be a regular style show with all the customary frills and bows. Seventh, eighth and ninth grade boys will act as guinea pigs and will model everything from sport shirts to tuxedos. The stage will be decorated by the eighth grade art classes, and the back- ground music will be bop records. The clothes are to be furnished by Morton's Boys Shop. The main purpose of the style show is to present to the teenage boys of Baker new styles and color combinations. 55 1, The Hitchin' Post '1 1, , 11 Where the cuisine of the South NCCU 1: that of the Welt 4 ft Austin.
