Page 4 BAKER ROCKET Careful! Roads Under Construction On these fancy freeways of life one must be careful not to misread a sign and take a wrong turn, and end up a regretful, demolished heap. There are many cutoffs to different professions- onesto being a lawyer, mechanic, writer, brick layer, or any other. Professions are plentiful in this freedom-loving country of ours, but choose the right one for yourself-one that meets your desire and our country's needs. Before these enormous under and overpasses are built, blueprints must be drawn, planning their construction step by step. This, too, must be done in the planning of our future. On this freeway, as on any road, we do not drive back- wards and there is also a speed limit. On our freeway of life we must follow these rules by not living in the past and not looking too far into the future. Now is our time to stand up and take notice of our direction and warning signs along our freeway else we take a curve too sharp or make a wrong turn. Now we are behind the wheel and are steer- ing ourselves into the future. ENGLISH CLUB HOLDS ELECTION The Austin English Club-which is made up of all Austin English teachers -elected new officers on April 25. Baker's English teachers were assigned top offices. Mrs. Letha Conradt was elected president of the English Club while Miss Rhodes was elected treasurer. WORK. FUN. AND EXPERIENCE ARE RESULTS OF JOURNALISM The deadline must be met, but what to do! Not enough copy is turned in and the dreaded due date is tomorrow. The pictures must be takeng stories assigned and picked outg and our pages must be set up! This happens every . . . well, almost every time-at least when an edi- tor waits till the last minute to do it. The editors have this job of seeing that the stories are in and all in line, but the reporters do half, if not more, of the work. The reporter must keep his nose to the ground always ready for a lead on a story. He must run what is called his beat which is assigned to him, the beat being a certain territory to cover. This helps the paper make a full coverage of the small newsbits. On the other hand, the class has its fun, too. There are humorous times on those days after the copy has made its final trip to the printers and a great load has been taken off the backs of the journalists. At the end of the school year, a journalism banquet is held in honor of the class. Many benefit from taking journalism for it is very interesting, educational, and quite an experience! THE LAST BELL RINGS AGAIN AND FACES TURN TOWARD NEW GOALS Soon Baker's halls will be filled with the ring of laughter as the final bell of the year rings.
