BAKER ROCKET Page 7 Buckaroo Wins State Honors The old saying Practice Makes Per- fect has held true with Barbara Wil- liamson, now Junior State Champion of the Balance Beam.. Practice began last January, when Barbara won a year's scholarship at Crenshaw's Athletic Club. Every other day she had attended les- sons only to return home and practice on the new routines. One interesting fact which led to her success was the method or practice she used at home. It seems that a new house is being built next door and to set up a balance beam, the combination of two saw-horses and a plank was borrowed from the workers. To gain the title Barbara now holds, she attended the Amateur Athletic Union State Gymnastic Meet at the Univer- sity of Texas, April 22 and 23, 1955. First, she competed in the Junior Nov- ice's Division on the Balance Beam and after winning first place, took second place honors in the Senior Novice's Division. Her future plans are to attend the other half of the State Meet to be held in Fort Worth. There she will compete against Carol Raburn, the Ft. Worth win- nerg the girl emerging on top to be State Champion.

R Johnny Williams, Buckaroo traclrster as he prepares for his heave of the shot put that broke all records. At dance Friendliest ot '55 Revealed The announcement of the friendliest boys and girls from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades was made at the Aloha Dance, Friday, April 21. They were Billy Carter and Pat Hugland from the seventh, Glenn Noble and Vera Carter from the eighth, Merle Moden and Faye Rippy from the ninth.. The gym was decorated in Hawaiian style and students dressed in Hawaiian costume. Colorful leis made by the Stu- dent Council were worn by students and teachers. l,ii SOFTBALL, BASKETBALL HEAD SPORTS ACTIVITIES Softball, the immediate cousin to base- ball, has become the major activity in the P.E. classes following the change of seasons. Both in the boys' and girls' classes, drilling is over and competition is beginning to take its place. Another change that goes with the seasons is the temperature, right now it's from cool what to HOT. Anyone who doesn't see the heat has to do with a softball game should try a nice refreshing game some time soon. That stuff's hot , man! On the subject of hot games, there have been some real warm games of basketball going on at chow time in the big gym. This may not agree with the sports calendar right now, but, who knows, this may be the beginning of the Junior High Basketball Champions of 1955-56! Some of the hot rods who have been seen in the actions of dribbling, passing and shooting are, Scotty Montgomery, Dickie Dannheim, Donnie Tew, Bill Foelsing, Anthony Petrick, Dolan Dull, Jerry Jones, Sammy Cordell, Lamar An- derson, Glenn Noble, Craig Hickethier, Gene Mallard, Preston Harvey, Leroy Eastburn and Sonny Sanders. The gen- eral theme behind it all is: We're prac- ticing for next year. We're gonna' be champs! 8 Lb. Shot Put BUCKAROO TRACKSTER SETS NEW RECORD The day, April 20, 1955-the occa- sion, City Junior High Track Meet- the event, 8 lb. shot put-contestant, Johnny Williams-assignment, WIN! With these instructions set clearly in his mind, the Buckaroo's trackster, Johnny Williams strode out to represent Baker in the shot put event. Mr, Mus- cles went on to win in the 15 year old division, but that wasn't enough. Williams broke the ALL-TIME JUNIOR HIGH RECORD by 1' 5M. . The record was 50' 9 set by Irving Rawls of Baker in 1951. Williams set the new rec- ord at 52'2iVr . McCallum Takes First Place In Track Meet Beginning April 20, 1955, and running through April 28, 1955, was the eleventh annual Junior High School Track and Field Meet with boys from the half- dozen Junior Highs of Austin competing. Involved were boys from Allan, Baker, McCallum, Travis, O. Henry and U.J.H. schools. Field events were shot put, high jump, broad jump, and chinning. Track com- petitions were the 50 yd. dash, '75 yd. dash, 100 yd. dash and the 440 yd relay. Between the three age groups, 13-year- old, 14-year-old and 15-year-old, the Buckaroos found easier competition in the 15-year-old group.
