Kathy writes: I served on the annual and newspaper staffs and
was
secretary of the junior class. It would be hard to select a "most
memorable moment" at Baker, but maybe it was the time Mr. Boyles
announced
over the infamous P.A. system: "Will whoever stole the iron ball off
the
wrecking crane please report to my office!" I believe that moment is
commemorated in the annual of 1965. There is a photo of Oscar P.
swinging
from said ball and chain and a shadow drawing of the crane by Awilda
Otero. Then there was the moment during a late-night picture lay-out
session that Bob Blaney and I decided to "accidentally" leave Coach
"Bubba"
Ball's picture out of the annual. Go ahead. Check. It's not in there
in
'65. And how about that special April Fools edition of the Lion's
Roar
with 'authentic' photos of Baker R.O.T.C. students being loaded on a
rubber raft and sent to Viet Nam. I still have a copy of that paper
(and
others) if anyone wants a xerox.
I have a masters in English from Valdosta state and I am completing a
Ph.D.
in english from UGA. I am divorced, have two daughters, Rachel 24 and
Sarah 14. I have lived in Georgia, Chicago, Richmond and Washington,
D.C., before moving to Chadron, Nebraska. Because there was a
tenure-track job here, okay? My current ambition is to get this
***!!!!!
dissertation finished before I die.
