Buddy Shelton scored the first touch- down on an end run from the 20 yard stripe. Calvin McAlexander caught a pass from Floyd Ashworth middle ways in the second quarter and scored Bassett's seccnd touchdown. Harold Vernon converted for the extra point and the score at halftime was 13-0. In the seccnd half, Chatham put up a more rugged defense and the Bengals scored only one more touchdown. Floyd Ashworth sneaked over in the final quarter for this tally. Because of Bassett's rugged defensive play, Chatham could never get a. sustained drive underway. BASSETT VS. SCHOOLFIELD The two teams played on even terms in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Schoolfield scored on an end run after the completion of a 50-yard pass. The score at halftime was 6-0 in favor of Schoolfield. After a rugged third quarter the Bengals scored on a pass irom Ashworth to McAlexander in the fourth. The try for extra point was blocked. The final score Bassett 6, Schoolfield 6. Although more inexperienced and lighter, the Bengals played exceptionally good ball. BASSETT VS. RADFORD The Bengals, meeting a more experienced and heavier team, went down to defeat 20-0. Radford was also deep in reserves and kept fresh players in the game all the time. Mistakes also proved costly to Bassett, who could never get a sustained drive underway. BASSETT VS. CHRISTIANSBURG The Christiansburg Demons got the jump on Bassett by scoring in the first quarter. The score at half- time was 7-0 in favor of the Blue Demons. Christiansburg scored two more times in the second half, while holding Bassett scoreless. The game was interrupted many times as players had to be continually helped from the field. The final score was Christiansburg 20, Bassett 0 . BASSETT VS. BLACKSBURG The fast stepping Indians from Blacksburg showed a lot of speed and ability by defeating Bassett 39-6. The Bengals scored in the fourth quarter on a pass play from Ashworth to McAlexander. The Indians scored almost at will by sweeping the ends and on off-tackle plays. BASSETT VS. BROSVILLE This was Bassett's homecoming game and was attended by a large crowd. Brosville scored a safety to take the lead in the early moments of the game, but Bassett scored a few plays later and were never headed after that. A total of five touchdowns were scored by the Bassett Eleven. Those scoring were: Pegram, Shel- ton, Ashworth. BASSETT VS. DUBLIN Bassett playing their best game of the season, defeated the Dublin Dukes by a score of 24-0. Touch- downs were scored in each of the quarters. Those scoring were: Ashworth, Stone, and McAlexander. - BASSETT VS. FRIES The Bengals lost a heartbreaker to Fries by the slim margin of 14-12. The game was played on virtually even terms, but Fries scored a safety which proved to be the winning margin. Pedigo and Ashworth scored for Bassett's only tallies. BASSETT VS. ROCKY MOUNT Bassett scored three times in the first half- on touchdown jaunts by Pegram. Rocky Mount came to life in the second half by scoring two touchdowns, but the Bengals' defense tightened and Bassett held on to win by a score of 20-14. ,I BASSETT VS. HILLSVILLE The Bengals playing their last game of the season, defeated Hillsville by the large margin of 26-2. After recovering from a 2-0 lead, Bassett began to roll and scored almost at will throughout the entire game. Those scoring for the Bengals were: Ashworth, Stone, and Shelton. This was a great victory to climax a great season.

Without his leadership and instructions, the football season might not have been a winning one. He was admired by the team and set a good example for the players to follow. His patience was end- less and he kept the team's moral high throughout the season. Win, lose, or draw, he was with the boys all the way. Also, we would like to show our appreciation to Mrs. Waleski for her cooperation and kindness to the team. AKERS-This is Coach Akers' first year at Bassett. He was always willing to help the Var- sity players as well as coach the J. V. boys. He filled in when Coach Waleski was absent and was ready to instruct the players at any time. Being the Physical Education instructor, he taught some of the players extra football skills, which was of use to them this year and will be for the next few years to come. Also we thank Mr. Don Pasquali for his able assistance as trainer for the team. CO CAPTAINS The Co-Captains for the 1952 football season were Harold Vernon and Edgar Hollands- worth, who were elected by the team. Both of them were varsity lettermen, with valuable ex- perience. Whenever key decisions were to be made, the reliable and capable co-captains always showed Ereat skill in making them. They kept the spirit up and helped the players when the going got rough. We should take our hats off to our co-captains who proved their leadership ability by leading the Bassett High School Bengals to the best record ever made by our foot- ball team. MANAGERS Managers forthe Bassett Bengals 1952 season were Coy Foster and Garland Martin Whenever a job was needed to be done or an errand to be run, they were always willing to help. They were as faithful as the players in showing up for practice. They were always ready to help treat injuries and help refresh the players. Truly, they were the coaches' handy men.

Junior Varsity Football BOX SCORE Bassett . . . .. . 0 Rocky Mount . . . . .. . 0 Bassett . . . .................... 0 Rocky Mount ................ . . . 0 Bassett ......................... 0 Hargrave ....................... 12 'The Junior Varsity team was under the able direction of Coach Jim Akers. Al- though most of the J. V. boys were inexperienced, they showed they could handle the ball as well as the other teams. In the opener, the J. V.'s battled to a 0-0 deadlock with the Rocky Mount J. V.'s. Curtis Hall wasf outstanding in the line. Ronnie Vaughn showed exceptionally well in the backfield. Again the Baby Bengals played the Rocky Mount junior Eleven. The Bengals and Eagles played on even terms. Stan Jones and Curtis Hall were outstanding in the line. Tommy Mason. Billy Swain, Ronnie Vaughn played good offensive and defensive ball in the backfield. ' D In the third and final game for the Junior Varsity, Bassett was defeated by the hard driving Jayvees from Hargrave. Although the Jayvees played good ball, they ran out of pep and Hargrave managed to put across two touchdowns. The final score was Hargrave 12, Bassett 0. As a whole, the season was valuable to the players be- cause they gained experience which they will use with the Varsity in later years.

The Student Co-operative Association, which is a democratic organization of the student body, has for its primary purpose the promotion of an individual sense of responsibility in any democratic organization. This is done by holding elections for officers of the student body and the various classes, each person serving on the committee of his own choice, and having as many as possible participate in student assemblies. This year the S. C. A. was organized into three groups. The Executive Council consisted of the four officers and the five class presidents, the second group, the Student Council, which was a representative type group, consisted of the officers, the five class presidents, and a rep- resentative from each of the home rooms: five committees made up the third group and each student served on the committee of his choice. They were Assembly, Vocational, Health. and Safetv, Recreation, and Publicity. The S. C. A. probably does more than any other organization to help make the youth of today the leaders of tomorrow.

The custom of the past few years, that of featuring activities, clubs, classes, sports, features, faculty, and ads in separate sections of the annual, has required the selection of a variety of editors. Through this sectionalizing we hope we have attained the production of a more highly interesting and noteworthy annual for our school. Our competent and efficient sponsor, Mrs. Frances Milstead, has given her time and effort untiringly and deserves a great deal of credit for the success of our annual. The 1953 Timber Tints Staff included: Edgar Hollandsworth, Jr., Editor-in- Chief: Mary Jo Davis, Assistant Editor: Lewis Draper, Business Manager, Joe Pegram and Mary Frances Curry, Sports Editors: Otto Woods and Barbara Hopkins, Activities Editors: Tootsie Smith. Class Editor: Nell Koger, Faculty Editor and Photo-1 grapher: Mildred Divers, Feature Editorg and Margie Holcomb, Photographer. Much credit should go to these editors, for were it not for their conscientious work on their respective sections and duties, our 1953 Timber Tints could not fulfill the tradition that has been so ably carried out by our predecessors.

But their work was justified on Fridays when the students praised the paper as the best ever. The object of the Bumble Bee was to publish semi-monthly all the news of the school and of the students. Nell Koger and Mary Frances Curry headed the staff, ably assisted by Erma Young and Joe Pegram, Sports Editors, Temple Miles, Mary Jo Davis, Mildred Divers, Laura Jean Stone, Sammy White and Kermon Thomasson, Reporters.

Reporter Realizing the essential role that the library plays in the education of the pupils in this school, the Library Club was organized. This club is made up of thirty-two eager, enthusiastic pupils from the eighth grade and each high school class. The club is organized like any other school club of a non-administrative sort. There are no special qualifications other than the pupil's interest and desire to render worthwhile service to the school. The club has all the necessary officers and committees and operates very much as any other club. 'Its activities center in its meetings held twice monthly. ln addition, it carries on such utilitarian projects as: charging books, shelving, reading shelves, filing, mending, making out and deliver- ing overdue notices, arranging bulletin boards, etc. The club endeavors to encourage reading and a deep appreciation of literature. The club serves to stimulate school loyalty, provides -an outlet for pupil enthusiasm and satisfies the vocational interests of those who are definitely interested in Librarian- ship as a career.

The main purpose of the fire fighters is to assist the forest wardens in extinguishing local forest fires, and preserving our forests. One of the major events of the h fire fig ters was that of attending a meeting at the Fieldale High School. The purpose of the meeting was to acquaint the boys with proper equipment and various ways used in fighting forest fires. So far the fire fighters haven't been called upon, but in case of a fire we are sure our boys would do their best in helping to put it under control in the least possible time. 7F ll! tv 'se I it gf First II'oi4'..E.

Just this year so many of the eighth grade girls appeared interested that we separated from the T1'i-Hi-Y Club and organized a club of our own. Our club is in many ways like its big sister, the T1'i-Hi-Y, whose members we hope some day to become. Although we are a young organization and many of our activities concerned getting ourselves well organized, we had pl'0- grams and activities directed toward bettering ourselves men- tally, socially, and spiritually. We, in addition, had an occasional party, social, and evening meeting. We hope that we may lea1'n, through membership in the Torch-Y Club, to be better leaders and followers, to understand more about what club membership means, to learn to work to- gether in planning activities and programs, to understand our- selves better, and to become better persons at school, at home, and in our churches. We like to have fun. and we intend to have it, but we realize that our club is primarily a religious organiza- l tion, fostered by the Y.W.C.A., with its purpose to strengthen l us first spiritually that the Torch-Y Club will become a perma- nent organization at Bassett High.

The Rand membership is composed of sixth seventh, eighth. and ninth graders. The first concert was presented at the May PTA meeting, the same program being given in assembly later in the month. Plans are being formulated for the band to play at all the home games next year. Various instruments in the band include: bass horns, clarinets. saxaphones, altoniums, baritones, trumpets and cornets, flutes, snare drum, bass drums, cymbals, and trombones. The band has met and practiced three days a week all year. The progress has been rapid as proved in their two public performances this year. AJ-4Y :A First Row-B. Collins, L. Cassidy, O. Stone, R.

Rosa Jarrett is the greatest opera star ever, while Sam White has his own private band. G. E. Philpott and Glen Dodson have taken over the Beanie Hat Co. I have heard that Howdy Doody was coming in with them. Madeline Amos and Lucille Chitwood have set up a company of their own. They run a beauty company for girls as well as men whose faces need remodeling. Nancy Turner is running an insurance company, They Live and Die. While Patty Martin is her efficient secretary. Joan Norfleet is in Africa with Louise Spencer. They are trying to start a furni- ture company. Lewis Draper is a rooting, tooting cowpoke. He runs a ranch in California. George Stone and Donald Mitchell are champions. Both ran for the title of Chew Gun King, and they were so good they gave it to both. Mary Burrage and Temple Miles are the l.Vorld's Hot Rod Drivers. Their Drivers Training came in handy. Mae XVilliams is a gypsy tea reader, while Jessie Leigh Richardson is a school teacher. Tootsie Smith, that good Beta member, is now the president of NVilliam 8z Mary College. Elsie Stone is the most typical girl of the world. She has just taken Emily Post's place. Peggy Franklin is the first woman to ever run for the President of the United States. Best of luck to her. Ruth Varner and Mary Frances Adams are kindergarten teachers. Their love for little children has proven very worthwhile. Mary Frances Curry and Shirley Fulcher are in New York, playing for one of the big universal basketball teams. NVhiIe june Dodson has set up a private school of the very wealthy up North. Barbara Hopkins, the most talented, is now principal of Henry High School. Delano Thompson is in France studying the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He is trying to get all of the Geometric lines from it. George Carter is a bus driver of the Greyhound Bus Lines. NYell, I guess I had better board the plane to leave for Bassett. See you at the reunion. Jo DAVIS. Semor Class Hlslory Commencement time? Why xt hardly seems true!

Today is September 2. I was out of bed by 7:00, and at school by 8:30. Rush Rush! Rush! It's September 10 and all the students are beginning to wonder just what they've gotten into. Poor kids! September 11, and it seems that first come, first served in the lunchroom. Everyone seems hungry most of'the time. Well, the mighty Bengals pulled through to a great victory on September 12 as they played Chatham in the first game. Still fighting with high hope and much spirit, the Bengals tied Schoolfield, 6-6, September 19. It's September 21, and talking about interesting scenes! To watch those love birds float down the hall has indeed a value of interest! VVell, today is September 22 and the permanent cheerleaders have been chosen to cheer for all football and basketball games of this school year. Rah! Rah! Rah! Oh horrors! What sights to see today, the 22nd. The Monogram Club is at work again on new members. Tonight, we all ventured over the mountain to watch our mighty Bengals battle with Radford. Oh, what a beauty! It's September 30 and the business-like Seniors go to get ads. Happy hunting grounds, kids. Today, October 1, and the inquiring Seniors pop the question. Want to buy an annual? October 2 and Christiansburg runs over us in a hard-fought game. It's October 9 and everybody really looked their best at school today. Pictures were taken as the first step for the annual staff. The 10th, and Blacksburg comes through to a victory. We really gave them a time. Today is the llth and all the Seniors look sleepy this morning. They all leave at 8:30 to take in the football game at Charlottesville. Well, it's the 17th with loads of fun in store. A victory parade will precede the home-coming game with Brosville this afternoon. Tonight Mary Frances Curry and Calvin McAlexander were crowned football queen and king. lt's October 24 and the Bengals give Dublin more fight but lose in a roughly fought game. It's October 26th and a mock football game is held. What a sight, girls! October 31st and my, what a big day! The Bengals take off to Fries but lose again. Keep your high-spirits, boys! , Heaven forbid the weird sights tonight. All the spooks are prow!- ing around. Especially at that faculty Hallowe'en party. November llth and the school enjoys the presidential campaigns with parades and speeches on television. Well, here it is November 6, and all the teachers are wondering how the Seniors ever passed their spelling. Today, November 7, a great game is scheduled with Rocky Mount Hi. Our latest news forecast: Bengals come through with flying colors. The 19th and the kids proudly show their pictures. Everyone seemed pleased with the outcome-at least. most everyone. Today is the 24th and the Student Council go to Rocky Mount for the SCA Convention. The 25th-More picture taking: this time for the group pictures. All those queer-looking, sheeted things you saw were just the members of the Latin Club. Thrill! Thrill!! All school kids out the 27th and 28th for Thanks- giving holidays. Gohble, gobble-I'm ashamed to ever face a turkey again. Oh, well, I'll have quieted my conscience by a month from now. Was anyone ever so proud as the Seniors when they received their rings today, which is December 4. lt's December 5, and the Bengals come out victorious in their first basketball game of the season. The date? The 18th. The event? The big Senior Christmas party. Out of bed early this morning . . . the 19th. It's wonderful! Two whole weeks of fun, presents, good eats, and no studying. Well, dear diary, it's january 5, and it was too good to be true. Everyone happy to be back. Study. worry, write, is anything worse than exams? Everyone has really been burning the midnight oil, these past few nights-January 20, 21, 22. C927 Calendar Honestly, diary, I've been so snowed under, what with cramming and all that. I haven't had a chalice to tell you about that super basket- ball team we have this year. Let's see, since Christmas they've won 6 games and lost only 2. The vanquished-january 9, Floyd, january l0, Drewry Mason, January 13, Galax: January 20, Franklin, january 23, Stuartg January 27, Fieldaleg and January 31, Drewry Mason again. Oh, 'course we don't mention those games on january 6 and 16. You know 6 must be an unlucky number for us. What do you think? Hmmmmmmm? It's February 12 and all the Seniors go to Drewry Mason for Senior Day. The 14th. All the girls receive valentines and candy from their beaux. All the business students welcomed visitors from Martinsville as they make plans to organize a local chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America and elected Shirley Jean Davis president. March 5 was the date. Give a big hand to our JV basketball team-they came out third in the District Tournament on March 6. Forecast for a couple of years from now: A championship basketball team, with all these jV's making the Varsity. March 20-our Varsity didn't make out quite as well as the jV's in the district tournament, but we're proud of you still, boys. Also. today our entry in the one-act play contest received a Creditable rating. See, all our talent is not confined to athletics. March 12--That active Future Homemakers of America club pre- sented a three-act play, Free Advice. Another group brings honor to dear ole Bassett Hi today, March 16. And it was none other than our D. O. Club. Their entry in the state D. Scrapbook contest won first place. I sure do wish you could have seen it-a real beauty. Three of our SCA members, Wade Morrison, Kenneth Mitchell. and Kcrmon Thomasson, set out with Miss Lucas and Miss Ballard for the state SCA convention in Fredericksburg, March 20. They're really going to make a week-end of it. After the convention, they're going to VVashington to do the town up right. STUDENT DAY -March 24. We really turned the tables on the faculty. And you know. XVade really made a handsome principal. Some good. future teachers in our midst, too. junior Prom was the name of the Junior play. which was pre- sented hbohx this afternoon and tonight, March 27. Quite an appropriate title, e ? ' And what did the Faster bunny bring you. diarvtdear? Me: Oh, the loveliest new suit, hat, shoes, and bag. And the best part of all- no school from April 2-April 7. All our future iournalists took off for Lexington and the annual SIPA convention today. The convention lasts the entire weekend of April IO. The annual Beta Club convention is in Richmond this week-end, April 17-18. Ah. the luck of those blessed with brains. Did I nearly split my sides laughing this afternoon, April 24, at the Senior Play, The name of the play was My Wife's Family, and it was a scream. I still chuckle every time I think of Mary jo chasing G. F. and finally hitting him with that vase. Well, dear diary, I've been neglecting you so much lately, but honestly, everything's happening at school these days. I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you too much of what's happening until after that eventful day-june l. To give you an idea of what I mean. l'll tell you of some of the events in store for us from now until GRADU- XTION: May Day is next Friday. May l. and things are really buzz- ing: I can't tell you who the Queen is. but I can tell you this much- she's a beaut: also, that same week-end the newly organized FBLA chapter is going to Richmond for their annual convention: the Beauty Pageant is May 8: the Junior-Senior Banquet. May l5. I wish I knew what the theme, of the banquet is going to be, but the juniors are keep- ing it a closely guarded secret. After all this socializing comes those final exams! And I, for one, really am going to have to cram. Oh, unhappy dayl But that impressive Baccalaureate Service on May 31 and that lovely, lovely Commencement on june l, will more than make up for those exams? I'll tell you all about what happens right after- wards, dear diary, but until that time-I'm going to be most busy. 4933 Oli' L5 Lbralaer, Busuness Manager AJMQT ' ,gi :f2a2wff?fWff f ZZW JQQYWMWMAZQ QW lfwauwff Jffdfizgwawjfgl W Jnymwy 7 f6eQ514wV4zW2fW4W0v2ff- J f-012: ffm .Acluerfia emen fd LETS LOOK AT THE RECORD What does the Ameucan Way of hfe offel not only to youths on the brlnk of thelr busmess careers but to all people?
