The Timber Tints cf 1936 GIFT JUN 1 2 ’40 The first school to serve the Bassett community was located on the land of a Mr. Price, near the present home of Mr. George Ramsey. This was prior to 1900. The school building had only one room and was poorly equipped. Mr. Bonnie Price was the teacher there for years. The first school in Bassett was located on J. H. Bassett’s land near the place where John David Bassett Park is now situated. About this time the Bassett Furniture Company plant was built, resulting in an increase of population, so that it was necessary to build a larger school. Another site was donated by J. H. Bassett. The building was located near the Riverview Church. A section was added to this building, and the subjects for the second year of high school were included in the curriculum. Five teachers were employed at this time. This building was used until January, 1915, when the present high school building was completed. The teacherage was built in 1921 by the citizens and given to the county. The additional grade school building was built about 1923. The school first offered Home Economics while Miss Kate Dickerson was principal (1917- 1919). The school became accredited while Miss Crickenberger was principal. During her eight years in office she helped the school in many ways. One of the most important was the building of the library. The publication of the River Ripples, the school newspaper of Bassett High was the first to be printed in the county. The school bought curtains and stage equipment for the new auditorium about this time. Mr. Hoov er was the next principal. This is his sixth year at Bassett High School. While he has been principal several new rooms have been furnished; many more teachers have been employed; the upper part ' of the teacherage has been used as a cottage for teaching Home Economics; the school grounds have been improved; the school ' s first annual, Timber Tints (’34-’35) was published; the enrollment has increased from 298 pupils to 707, an increase of 134 per cent. ; the high school enrollment has increased 160 per cent. ; the school is much larger and better equipped than it was six years ago,, and we now boast of one of the best equipped Industrial Arts ' Departi ' nents in the state.
