MISS JANE BAKER pauses in playing to speak to music - loving
parrot.
Home Ec Teacher Enjoys Music, Pets
*“Ane, play for me,’’Chucky,
seven year old Spanish speak- .
lng parrot who can't pronounce
“J’s” owned by PHShomemak-
ing teacher Jane Baker may in-
sist as he . perches on her
shoulder while she plays her
new Hammond Organ purchased
last summer.
Miss Baker, who is teaching
her second year at PHS, having
come here from a similar posi-
tion in Kopperl, Texas, is a
person of many interests among
which music, cooking, teaching
homemaking, and playing with
her pets rank high.
With Chucky on her shoulder
or her 13 year old blonde Cocker
Spaniel, Winky, at her feet, Miss
Baker responds to the mood of
the moment and plays her organ,
her piano, (Chucky doesn’t like
piano music), or her hi-fi re-
cord player during her leisure
time. Since the bird and dog are
quite jealous of her attentions,
she must be very tactful in the
extra time she gives her bird
teaching him to talk.
Collecting albums of which
she now has about 150 repre-
senting all types of music —
classical, folk, comedy, west-
ern, and piano — is a hobby
she has pursued_for several
years. She always goes to bed
at night with a stack of records
Young Scientists
Operate On Calf
An “autopsy” directed by Don
Barnett, biology teacher, was
performed last week on a calf
donated to the class by Jimmy
Detwiler.
Class members wearing
“Ben Casey” white gowns and
“Dr. Kildare” surgical gloves,
performed major surgery in
which they took out all of the
calf's bones. Rather than try
to preserve its organs, the class
decided to construct a skelton
with the bones.
Reconstruction of the skele-
ton has already begun. The
calf's death was attributed to
premature birth.
The calf skelton will join a
pig skeleton on exhibit in the
biology lab. Timmy recon-
structed the pig skeleton last
year for the science fair.
4th - 5th Grades
Sing Carols
The 4th and 5th grade music
classes, under the direction of
Mrs. Pearl Nash, presented a
program of Christmas carols
last Tuesday in the high school
auditorium to Goodwin and
guests.
Besides the Christmas carols
three other numbers were
given.
A play, also directed by Mrs.
Nash, was given by the second
grades at Alamo on the same
day.

she tires of reading — usually
some American historical fic-
tion.
Besides collecting records,
Miss Baker who loves to cook
and try-out new recipes, has an

types of cookbooks, and
a buldging recipe file. Her most
valuable cookbook Is one pub-

likes Mexican food and has a
large collection of these
recipes, although her really
favorite recipes are those that
have just been made up.
