I honestly don't remember who I had for history/social sciences... (Can you guess what my least favorite classes were? ;) ) Bruce doesn't ring any bells, though, so I probably didn't. Now that I think of it, his name doesn't even sound vaguely familiar. He might not have been at BHS when I was there... I'll check on that (eventually)...

Subject: What's In A Name?
I like Johnny's idea of "The Lion's Pride", but would like to know that a person could still input "Baker High School" and come up with the current webpages on a search. I hate trusting the human memory. Some of us Army Brats were totally confused by the time we got into high school. My mom followed my dad everywhere she could (and we kids followed her like ducks), so I attended 11 different elementary schools. I went to 4 different High Schools (1 each year). It seems to me that each school had various symbols with which students identified.
I had not remembered the lion mascot till I got to the webpage. I kept wondering at various references to "lions". Then I began to remember a mascot. Wasn't it stolen one year? Or was that traditional? Wasn't there a statue of a lion that was carried to the various sports events? Did someone steal some other school's live "goat" mascot? Wasn't the Yearbook called "the Arrowhead"?
During my freshman year, I attended the Verdun American School in Verdun, France. The name of the Yearbook was the Veridunum. I don't recall a mascot. During my Sophomore year, I attended Mineral Wells Senior High School in Mineral Wells, Texas. Our mascot was a burro and the Yearbook was called "The Burro". In my Junior year, I attended Pine Forest High School in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Pine Forest was often symbolized by a bust of Robert E. Lee and the school sports teams were called the "Rebels". The Yearbook was called the "Pifonica". It had a big pine cone picture on the front.

FYI:
The yearbook had been titled the Arrowhead,
but I don't know until when...
I first attended BHS in 1976, and by then
the book was called The Lion's Pride.
I was on the yearbook staff for 3 years...
and came up with the theme for my Sr. yearbook. :)
WWW search engines look at the first few lines of an http file (maybe even the whole file... Bob?), so if the file contains "Baker High School," the BHS page will show up in the search no matter what we call it.

Subject: Arrowhead/Lion's Pride
We did some research, most of which I've forgotten, but the gist of which was this: The original Baker mascot was an Indian, so the annual was logically named the "Arrowhead." I think the athletic teams were called the Cherokees, but it may have been come other tribe. At some point prior to 1958, perhaps in a precognizant fit of political correctness (In Georgia in the 1950's? Get real!), the mascot had been changed to a lion and the newspaper was the "Lion's Roar." For some reason, however, the name of the annual had never been changed. We decided to make it consistent, and a vote by the student body was held to pick one of several proposed names. Someone on the annual staff (possibly me, but I couldn't swear to it) had proposed "Lion's Pride" as an intentional pun. The vote, with a little politiking, but, as I recall, no outright fraud, went to "Lion's Pride," which appeared on the '70 edition. And that's the way it happened.

I agree with David Phillips. I found Baker's page by accident and I'm sure there's many more on the Net that just don't know about it yet.
What do you think about an ongoing directory of signed up members, listed in the Home Page? A lot of us don't have much to say, therefore the rest of us never know who's accounted for and who's not.
I've gone into ' http://www.four11.com ' for instance ( which I'm sure you have too ), and found people listed as having attended Baker, but I have no way of knowing if they know about our Home Page. By matching the two lists, we could notify the ones that don't know.
Another for instance, I'm sure we all know of former students that aren't accounted for, that we have information on. Should we provide that info ( or how much info ) without their permission? Maybe the ' What ever happened to ' idea could cover some of that.

(We agreed to go to the prom together because we were good friends. I was engaged to Tommy Baker in Fayetteville, NC at that time, who could not come to Columbus for the prom).
I noticed that your lists of people in each class do not quite match my 67 annual. Some of the people who attended Baker in 1967 were not on the list. I guess your list just included the graduates. I could send you my annual so you all could scan the pictures. (You would take care to send it back...wouldn't you? It is one of my treasured possesions).

However, I would encourage everyone to take a look at it, and register. I listed my favorite site as Baker, so if anyone clicks on it, it will bring them directly to us.
If anyone wants to try searching for a school on it, try Pacelli, or my other old high school, Leilehua. There are thirty people on it from Leilehua alone.

I have no viewer or web browser of my own so my only choice has been to refer to my yearbook for pictures (to "jog" my memory). Since none of you are in the 67 "Arrowhead", I have yet to "see" you. But, I am listed under R. Elaine "Groves" in the Seniors section of the 67 Yearbook. To prevent anyone having troule finding me who may be lacking the same "tools" that I am lacking, I give pertinent information. That simple.
If I had needed you to do a name change (haven't even seen the web page for my class yet) I would have come right out and "asked". Thanks for all the concern though. I appreciate the kindness.
Having been an army brat who really DID move a lot (at least once a year), I am well aware of the possibility of seeing someone I know any day, anyplace. It happens. I enjoy it immensely when it does. It gives me a sense of "belonging" on this earth. In the meantime, this board/forum answers the need for communication with "like-minded" individuals.

We *still* don't have all the classes represented. I've made phone calls and written letters, but I'm not making progress on the three missing classes.
If anyone has any ideas about how we can get annuals or graduation bulletins from the missing years, I surely would like to hear them.
Thanks!

Sorry about the "Test" message yesterday...
I was messing with "Rules" in our Novell Groupwise program and really
cost myself some time (time it took to delete all the "stuff"). Just
delete the test message and please forgive me that intrusion.
On the subject of the Reunion Hall, I did sign on. I took it a little further by signing each of the 4 high schools I attended. I made mention of Baker High School as my graduating class in 67. Some of the users in Reunion Hall's forum, stated that they had had some contacts from old classmates from other schools. This is one of my very old dreams...to reestablish contact with some of the many people I have known in my life. I also went into the Overseas Brats Web Page. I found the Verdun American High School listed and signed on.
I also found out that there have been psychological studies done about the cultural differences found in people who have moved around so much. I have a culture! (this may help with the identity crisis some). Maybe it will help me to understand this feeling of not belonging to this earth. I know the answers are sometimes to be found in childhood experience to problems we find in our adult life.
Bob, you never answered my message to you. Do you need for me to send
the annual for 1967 from Baker to you? Of course I would need it back,
but you are welcome to use it if it will help. Maybe this would be a
partial answer to finding the missing classes. My annual covers
67 (my senior year), 68, 69, and 70. But if someone had an annual
covering one of the missing years perhaps it could be scanned to disk
and sent to you so that info could be input to this database.

I've always felt the opposite. I've been and lived in so many places, I feel like the world is my home. Used to get acutely uncomfortable when I'd been somewhere more than a year or two and wasn't moving on.

Subject: Do We Need This?
I'm curious to know whether anyone has received any commercial or other undesired mail which you think may have been engendered by having your e-mail address on your Baker page.
If this is a problem, or we think it might become a problem, we can supply e-mail addresses via e-mail instead of as direct links, kind-of like the postal address and phone stuff that is set up for testing on my own Baker page.
Alternatively, we can fix it up so that clicking the mail-to line provides a warning against commercial use, then gives up the mail address. A collegaue, Tom Betz, suggested this. To see how it world work, check the mail-to link on the Robert Brown '65 page.
Do we need something like this? --Bob
