Page 4 BAKER ROCKET Une Nation Under God Our nation is one nation under God . . . but many times this is forgotten by the people of this nation. Tuesday, Feb- ruary 22, Baker observed Brotherhood Week with an assembly. Three speakers, Rev. Lory Hildreth of the Hyde Park Baptist Church, Father Edwin Bauer for the Catholic religion, and Dr. Ira lscoe for the Jewish faith, gave their views on what brotherhood really is. The need for brotherhood all the time is realized after the talks of these three men. ,l.. .- The Baker Rockef Staff Co Editor-in-chief ,,,,.,,, Dee Dee Williams and Mary Sue Schwartz News Editor .,..,,,,,,.,,.....,,,,,, Peggy Moore Feature Editor .,,,,,,,,...
