This is not as good as u:any of the aiip.uals in its group, hake-up and lay-out are generally fair and the art-work is average although the (hotograj,hy varies from excellent to verj poor. In literary quality, your annual is above average and you seem to have a fairly comprehensive coverage of school activitleE. Your features are, in general, only average but the Senior Superlatives, though trite, are quite good. In a few of the group pictures you fail to name the indivlduala and the mass of too many snapshots to one page is ver confusing. On the whole, a very effective book.

Business Manager The Timber Tints OF Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Six THE ANNUAL PUBLICATION BY The Senior Class OF BASSETT HIGH SCHOOL Vireinlaaa Foreword For the first time in four long, weary years peace has been restored to the world. A peaceful world — free from fear, free from suffering, and free from aggression. The feeling of security has invaded the people of the world, enabling them to speak, think, and act normally. Our own nation is proving itself worthy of the brave men of the past centuries “who here gave their lives that that nation might live.” Again we are indebted to human lives that were sacrificed for us. Let us resolve that the world, because of us and through our own efforts, will be a better one— a peaceful one — as Goci in His creation intended. L Loperty of The Library of Dedication E. Carl Hoover, Jr. Roy Eugene McGhee Charles Edgar Jarrett James William Wagoner James Thomas Ramsey Robert Ralph Ingram James Samuel Ferguson With hearts full of respect and admiration, we dedicate this annual as a memorial to those former students of Bassett High School who fought so bravely and to those who died so valiantly on the many battle- fields throughout the world. It is our hope that this dedication will in some way be a tribute to those who died. V Faculty K. Carl Hoover B. S., M. S. I’niversity of Richmond I niversit} ' of irginia Principal R. P. ' IA, B. A.

Like a dream it all comes over me, as I hear their laughing voices and see the smiling faces of the Seniors preparing for their last performance at Bassett High School. As my thoughts go backward through the pageant of their past life at Bassett High School, certain days and events stand out in my memory like deep shadows of the forest at twilight. During the early days of September, 1942, I became fascinated with watching the seventy-two freshmen who were launching themselves into the strange and unfamiliar stream of high school life. I recall the gay laughter of Esther Lee Ingram, the nervous giggles of Barbara Byrd and Doris Nash, the eager voice of Louise Richardson, and the enthusiastic exclamations of Herman Byrd as they gathered in a group and elected Kathryn Bassett, presi- dent, under the leadership of Miss Ann Scales, Miss Mildred Thomasson, and Mrs. A. L. Philpott. I became distressed when only forty-seven of the class returned to continue the journey through high school. It was evident that they had gained wisdom and strength from their first year’s experience, so that they began to join various clubs. I distinctly recall the sounds that drifted from the building when they tried out for the Glee Club. Oh, well! Perhaps none of them will ever sing in the Grand Old Opera, but they can at least make a joyful noise. September 18, 1944, thirty-three of the class of forty-six who had resisted currents pulling them into the world outside the school embarked enthusiastically on the last half of their journey under the guidance of Miss Ruth Whitt. They elected John Brammer, president; Magdalene Moore, vice president; Etta Moore, secretary, and Billy Young, treasurer. I see again the glow of happiness on their faces as they pass going to the Junior-Senior banquet on April 6th. I recall their united pleasure in athletics, their deep pride when Magdalene, Mary Frances, Esther Lee, Ruby, Billy, and John became members of the Beta Club, and their excitement when Esther Lee and Magdalene were selected for the May Court. I can hear again their merry voices as they planned a mock wedding for assembly. My branches tremble when I recall the excitement after examinations as they rushed out of the building exclaiming, “I passed! I’m a Senior!” “I am thankful that we are to finish our journey here and sail out into the sea of life into a world of peace,” is a thought expressed by the twenty-five seniors as they registered on September 6, 1945. I recall their happy voices electing their class officers. First to be elected was Magdalene Moore, president; Esther Lee Ingram, secretary; Barbara Byrd, treasurer, and Billy Young, vice president. They were anxious to prove themselves capable of accomplishing the difficult task connected with Senior life so that they immediately elected the annual staff. I was astonished at their self-confidence and eagerness as they went forth to try their wits peddling ads. I can feel again the breathless silence of the room while the class waited for the voice of Herman Byrd to come to them over the sound system making a sales talk for “Timber Tints.” I trembled with fear for the life and limbs of D. L. Kendrick and Eloise Smith, coming down those steps with their eyes fastened on their Beta Club pins. On November 16th, I shook with the wave of excitement which swept the school when the first issue of Under the Bell of Bassett High came off the mimeograph with Martha Stultz the proud editor. I am sure the Senior heads swelled, at least they appeared larger to me, the day Miss Matney measured them for their caps and gowns. They were filled with that excitement which comes to all individuals on the threshold of the end. The Senior boy having the highest average each six-week term was invited to attend the meetings ' of the Rotary Club for the following six weeks. The Senior Home Ec. Class was pleased and happy with the success of the tea which they gave the faculty and Seniors. The sigh of the Seniors and their sponsors. Miss Matney and Miss Morris, as D. L. and John started the annual on its trip to the press shook me from my top to my roots. This task accomplished, the class enthusiastically started the Senior Play, “Brother Goose,” by William David- son, to be given on y pril 12, 1946. As I saw the Seniors pass going to the banquet, I longed to go with them. Now, I can see that the Seniors are happy and yet there is a sadness that comes to everyone at parting. They are leaving now, carrying with them indelible impressions of right living, gleaned from their years experience here. [ 16 ] Snapshots I — Gay nineties. 2 — True love. 3 — Hubba! Hubba!

Entering my classroom and my seat, I did not realize that this leaf was no ordinary one. As I sat gazing at the leaf, it began to move and I saw being unrolled before me a film in technicolor. To me was being shown the activities of the Seniors of ’46, in the year 1960. The first scene was of the huge hospital in Bassett to which many come annually. Doctors Frank Carter and Billy Young, owners of this hospital, were spending a few minutes of leisure time chatting gaily with two of the head nurses, Doris Nash and Martha Stultz. They were at that time interrupted by another nurse who announced to them the arrival of an emergency. It was, much to my surprise, Douglas Looney, who had just had an accident in his high speed race car, “The Dare Devil.” After a thorough examination, it was found that he only suffered a slight cut on his chin and a few bruises elsewhere. The motto of the hospital — “Ki ll or Cure,” never failed. The scene then changed, I saw the beautiful University of Bassett. Coming up the sidewalk, I recognized to be Esther Lee Ingram, the Home Economics teacher there. As she ascended the stairs she was met by Barbara Byrd, the music teacher. While standing there chatting, they were joined by Glenwood Hutchinson, Private Secretary to the principal, John Brammer, and by her side, as usual, was Eloise Smith, who was the secretary for the famous lawyer, Herman Byrd. Soon they were also joined by the efficient geometry instructor. Tommy Giles. Continuing to gaze at the screen, I then saw the “Dressmakers Shoppe” which was owned by Mildred Franklin and Frances Spencer. Next I saw the huge Library of Bassett which was under the supervision of Ruby Roberson. Also I saw two very cozy-looking white cottages, side by side. I discovered that they were the homes of Frances Jones and Betty Ruth Ingram, two very successful housewives. Alas! That was the end of that film but following was the news reel, “Eyes and Ears of the World.” First in the news, D. L. Kendrick, Chief Justice of the United States, was discussing the constitutionality of the recent national divorce laws. Also Magdalene Moore, head of the Good Housekeeping Institute, along with Mary Frances Joyce, owner of a beauty shoppe in Richmond, were returning to Bassett to spend their vacations. Next in the news, was the arrival of a plane from India bearing Annie Ruth Whitlock and Emily Martin, who had been there as missionaries. On the same plane I saw Ermigene Cannaday, who had become a famous Red Cross worker. Louise Richardson and Christine Horsley, Editor and Associate Editor of the New York Herald, have recently begun a new column called “How to Secure a Husband.” Just as the huge letters, E-N-D, appeared before me, I heard the familiar voice of Miss Matney saying, “ Students, the bell has rung.” After gathering my books together, I weaved my way through the crowded halls toward Bible Class.

[ 20 ] Senior Class Prayer God bless our Class of ’46 and help us to make our country live up to the high standards that our boys fought and gave their lives for. Keep us strong and fine in health so our duty will not slacken for we are the ones upon whom the future depends. May we leave behind us precious memories along with spotless records that might some day prove to be an inspira- tion to someone along the way. — Amen.

With more experience and under the fine coaching of Mr. Via, the boys proved themselves a formidable foe. The season ended with several victories to their credit. I 37 ] [ 38 ] ! !

With a more experienced team we are looking forward to a very successful season in ’45-’46. The Bassett Junior League One of the best things that has happened in Bassett is the development of the Junior League, an organization for decreasing juvenile delinquency. The base- ball league for boys from the ages lo through i6, has done more for the boys than anything before this time. Being the first year for this organization, it has done exceedingly well. [ 39 ] May Court Amid the beauty of spring flowers, Helen Claire Philpott wms crowned Queen of the May. She was attended by twelve ladies of the court, all attired in lovely gowns of soft pastel tints. Little Harriet Bassett bore the crown to the throne on a white satin cushion, and there the maid of honor, Elizabeth Howell, crowned the queen. Immediately following the coronation, students of the high school and ele- mentary grades entertained the court with military marches and drills, a health pageant, stunts, dances of the May, and the winding of the Maypole. The court consisted of, from left to right: Betty Jane Baker, Magdalene Moore, Eleanor Tiller, Nancy Fleshman, Harriet Bassett, Helen Claire Philpott, Elizabeth Howell, Esther W einstein, Betty Lee Howell, Minnie Bassett, Mary Campbell Craig, Esther Lee Ingram and Helen Mason.

The purpose of the Beta Club is well expressed in the words of its motto, “Let Us Lead by Serving Others,” which has as its goal the promotion of honesty, service, and leadership among high school students. The administration of the school recommends those eligible for membership. To be eligible for membership in our local chapter one must be a junior or a senior who has a scholastic average of eighty- eight or above, good character, and a commendable attitude. Each club member served on at least two of the following projects formulated by the club member- ship: Substituting for the teachers at the request of the principal, distributing baskets to the needy at the Easter season, sponsoring a clean-up campaign in the high school classrooms, assisting in keeping the First Aid Room and the Office Reception Room clean and attractive, sponsoring a good manners cam- paign in the high school, organizing a Lost-and-Found Department for the school, providing and sup- ervising recreation for fellow students during the noon hour, directing a campaign for contributions to the United Nations Victory Clothing Drive for Foreign Relief, and promoting school patriotism. The club served as a Committee-of-the-Whole in the participation of the following activities: the sponsoring of an assembly program and a P. T. A. program, contributing compositions and poems to the “Beta Club Journal,” donating to the Beta Education Fund, presenting a feature on the State Con- vention program, and serving as First Aid Supervisors and Office Assistant.

The Student Council was organized in the year 1942-43 for the purpose of promoting democratic principles and improving the conduct of the student body as well as making the school campus more attractive and the class room more inviting. Since its organization it has had the cooperation of the students and the faculty in every way. This year the council has been especially successful in its work. The student body, having already been informed as to the rules and regulations which were previously set up, joined freely with the council in enforcing them. We, the members of the Student Council, sincerely hope that we can pass on to the future students a more democratic way of life through this organization.

The aim of the Literary Society is to develop a greater appreciation of literature. We hope to open new fields of thought among our members. It is our desire to make the great stories, poems, and plays more vivid. For the Christmas assembly program this year we chose a new piece of writing concerning the Origin of St. Nicholas. Our purpose in not holding to the traditional Christmas presentation was to bring before the entire student body the fact that great literature is still in creation. With such ideas as these the society will grow in its aid to develop a greater literary culture. Dramatics Club OFFICERS Fred Shropshire President Mickey Jones Vice President J. T.

These boys are given necessary training and instructions as prescribed by the State Forest Warden. They are always accompanied by a Forest Warden at the time of a fire, and they are pro- tected by the State. Their pay starts at the time they leave for the fire and continues until they return. The Forest Fire Fighters Service was organized in Bassett High School four years ago. Up to the present time this local squad has participated in and brought under control one major fire and several small ones.

With hearts full of grief For associations so brief, ll e find our last day is here And we will leave the ones so dear. Life won ' t be so bad Because of the preparation we ' ve had. if e ' ve worked and studied and played- Our goal we ' ve almost made. To our teachers who gave their assistance Our tasks to meet with persistence Our thanks we readily impart As we on our journey start. li e ' ll begin our life anew Hoping our dreams will all come true.
