Class Poem There comes a time in the lives of all To pause from toil and care And see if we measure, great or small For life, its tasks and fare. We have studied hard so many days To learn of things unknown And prepare our lives, our health, our ways Because ignorance we can’t condone. We can all look back with pride and joy When we finish at Bassett High, But we’ll all know each girl and boy Regrets the opportunities passed by. If each of us could roll back the years We have spent just getting by. It would be the difference between joy and tears And failures if we didn’t try. But even these thoughts can’t dull our pride When we think of Bassett High, We are proud of you, and our wishes are The best of everything — so ’bye. [ 19 1 — Ellene Norton
