The Timber Tints cf 1936 Senior Poem Oh Bassett High School, loved of old, Into the world zee go ; Each one must search for another goal, In life it is always so. May that zvhich you have drilled in us Be ever our true guide, May zve struggle upward through the dust Where brave men stumbling died. Our school has laid the foundation, May zve continue to build, We will try to help our nation. While each heart with love for you fills, May zve always remember our school, May zee zz ' ant to zvork with a will. May zve try to obey the Golden Rule, That in us you did drill. All things zvill not be easy, That zve people will undertake, May zve make all tasks seem measly, May zve zvork hard for your sake, May our aims zve ivisely choose To learn, to teach, to serve all, And may zve never refuse Humanity ' s wailing call. Soothing hands to ones in pain May zve always freely give, Sacrifices to love — not gain, After us our deeds zvill live. And nozv zve bid you adieu, Oh, classmates and school so dear. In our hearts there’s a place for you, You zvill always seem so near. — May Plybon. 9 36 Senior Sons Gotta get our books all packed away, Gotta get our things and say good-day, ’Cause this year zve gotta try to say By to Bassett Hi. Gotta do our best and try right hard, Gotta get together in our word. Gotta leave a record slick as lard. ' By to Bassett Hi, You can tell our classmates, Who zvill go to different fates. The Seniors regret that zve won ' t be around You can tell the teachers not to cry, We arc goin out and you know — try, We ' ll see you again before zve die. ' By to Bassett Hi. — Galilee Smith.
