Senior Class Poem High school days will soon be over For the Class of ' 43; May we still press on with vigor Onward! Upward! Let us strive. There ' ll be things we shall remember , Thoughts of friends and teachers , too , How we ' ve lived and worked together In whate ' er we tried to do. Pleasant memories! May they linger Into the days far, far ahead , With a will to work for the good of others , Toward our vocations may we tread. As Commencement Day draws nearer, And zve put our books away, We will leave to those who follow A challenge to all — if we may. Yes, a great task yet lies before us, But our motto we ' ll carry through , “ Give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you. Helen Mason 4 20 ) d

Class History Nineteen hundred and forty-five has come! The year which we have so eagerly anticipated as the year in which we would reach the goal of our high school career. Now, having attained this goal, we glance back over the road which has been traveled. Well do we remember that bright September day in 1941, when we entered the welcoming doors of B. H. S. as freshmen! Each problem which confronted us in this our first year in high school seemed more bewildering than the one which pre- ceded it, but our capable leaders, Mrs. Eloise Sacra, with Rainie Harris as president; Miss Bliss Fowlkes with Wayne Spencer as president, and Miss Shirley Brightwell with Eleanor Tiller as president contributed to make our year a success. The literary society and other activities which we entered with our upper class mates helped us gain more confidence in our abilities. Zealously we accepted the honor and increased duties which became ours when we reached the level of sophomores. Great was our determination to be successful with Miss Nell Long and Miss Margaret Miller as leaders and Rolen Bailey, a new- comer from Pulaski, as president. Although our work was harder and heavier, we continued to participate in extra activities including the Glee Club which was organized this year under the direction of Rev. Raymon Eller. The following year we returned as sophisticated juniors, only to find that many of our classmates were lost along the wayside, and still others were being called into military service. Of course our spirits were slightly dampened, but we were certain to recover and go forward under the splendid leadership of Mrs. Virginia Switzer and Miss Anne Scales assisted by the class president, Helen Mason. A social high- light of this year was the Junior-Senior Banquet, which we gave our upper class- mates, the seniors. Our scholastic record was not without honor as was indicated by fifteen of our members being invited to affiliate with the Bassett chapter of the National Beta Club. Dignified seniors! How important that term had seemed before it was applied to us, but now we realize that it denotes no superior beings but is only a term which includes not only honor and recognition but many additional duties and responsi- bilities. Among those, the old log, Timber Tints, rolled into our field and the editor, Rolen Bailey, and the staff declared that our work had not even begun until then. With our capable leader, Miss Ethel Stone, nothing was impossible for our class to attain. Our class colors are red, white, and blue and our class flowers are red and white roses which remind us of the way life will be, often beautiful, but many times very thorny. Our class officers were elected with Rachel Martin as president, and Eleanor Tiller as vice president. Each member has contributed to filling our year with plenty of fun, as well as work, even though gas rationing and other war conditions have caused us to cancel many of the usual senior pleasures. Two new members joined our group this year: Paul Kenneth Martin of Henry and Josephine Philpott a former student of Bassett, who has been attending Brevard. Graduation is only a beginning of our work. And as we go forth into the busy world to fight the battles of life, though we may be many miles from Bassett, our minds will turn from time to time to all our friends who have contributed so much to our pleasure. With this preparation at our command, we must put our motto to a supreme test: “Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.” 1 21
