CLASS SONG (Tune: South of the Border”) Schooldays have ended, at last we must part, On those we’ve depended we will pour out our hearts. To classmates we’ve trusted, we must say goodbye. Teachers so faithful, who always said try. Time has drawn nearer, we leave our dear school. Those who are dearer, taught us the golden rule. Dear Bassett we love you, our love will e’er stay On as we go through, though you’re far away. Classmates, parents, and teachers, we love you And we really could ne’er forget Don’t think we’ll forget your trueness Because we still love you yet. Memories linger of our dear school days. Oh ho w we used to work to put on all of our plays. Of our school we boast and laud. All down through the years School life has made us proud To shed these glad tears. Goodbye to you Fessor Hoover’s Gang,” To Bassett High Again Goodbye. — Doris Pegram. CLASS POEM And now my friends we bid adieu, In our hearts there’s a place for you, Bassett High laid the foundation, And now we leave to help build a nation. It makes us sad to say goodbye. But don’t worry ’bout us, we’re going to try. May everything we say and do Always to God and man be true. Out of this High School loved by all We go to answer humanity’s call. Whatever it is, we’ll do our best, And now, dear friends, to you — Success. — Lessie Shelton Jessup.
