 Here's a couple items I'll bet you didn't know about Baker. That first year, 1949-'50, at least 90% of the occupants were from our class; we had first choice. I think it was called the Senior Dorm. It became Baker after Dean Baker died in a plane crash in the summer of 1950. That first year the staff entered our rooms every day to sweep the floor, empty the waste basket AND make the bed!! Have fun at the 59th Reunion :) If you have the real 60th next year, I'll definitely be there....smiling! Here's a couple items I'll bet you didn't know about Baker.

 I believe those of us who resided in Baker beginning in the fall of 1956 were the last to have the experience of hall porters, who made our beds, emptied the waste baskets, and cleaned our rooms. I do not recall if this service stopped at the end of the first term or at the end of our freshman year. Nevertheless, it was a real luxury while it lasted. Two of the most memorable porters, as they worked on the 2nd floor (I was in a triple, 206, with Hank Piehler and Winston "Jiggs" Little), were Richie and Al. Richie, in particular, was a very friendly guy who made elaborately lettered name tags for our doors. I lived in 335 for my sophomore, junior, and senior years but had to make my own bed! I believe those of us who resided in Baker beginning in the fall of 1956 were the last to have the experience of hall porters, who made our beds, emptied the waste baskets, and cleaned our rooms.

 During the period 1961-65, some porters in Baker House would make beds and clean rooms. These were generally tipped twice a year the paltry sum of about $5.00. One in particular that comes to mind was the wonderful gentleman, Al "Truck" Beckett. "Truck" was his nickname from football. Al interacted with the Bakerites in a totally pleasant manner with tips on where to fish, commentary on local events, etc. He had a heart of gold. During the period 1961-65, some porters in Baker House would make beds and clean rooms.

 I remember that in 1963-64 we had a hall porter. He knew enough to look at the aquarium in my across-the-hall neighbor's room to see if his snake was in the aquarium. If it was, he would enter the room; otherwise he stayed out! I remember that in 1963-64 we had a hall porter.

 Joel is right and I was not clear in my comment. After the bed-making and waste backet emptying stopped, there were still hall porters who took care of the bathrooms and other common areas. They may have even come into the rooms to do a quick mopping of the floors and clean the room sinks, although I do not recall all they did. In my junior and senior years, along with Abe Feinberg, I worked in the linen room where those who bought linen service could get two clean sheets and a pillow case every week in exchange for their dirty ones. Joel is right and I was not clear in my comment.
