[quote=Anonymous]This day is call’d the Feast of Calculus.
They that outlast this week and finish the Bio project,
Will stand a tip-toe when the AP scores are named,
And rouse them at the name of College Board.
They that shall see this day and live through seventh grade,
Will yearly on the Ides of May strip their sleeves,
And show their scars—“These wounds I had at BASIS.”

Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But they’ll remember with advantages
What they endured that year. Then shall their names—
Familiar in their mouths as household words—
Algebra and Latin, Capstone and Physics,
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.

This story shall the good parent teach their child;
And BASIS DC shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember’d—
We few, we happy few, we band of strivers;
For they today that endure the Gauntlet with me
Shall be my sibling; be they ever so tired,
This day shall elevate their grit;
And students in other schools now safe in less intensity
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their rigor cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon this BASIS year.[/quote]
