...--. i1n1?ei'r1t--e-g, ITYLE R ECHCES' L-...J s. H. wood, 1924 - 1956 ' I came to Tyler county high school in the fall of 1924 with high hopes for the future of the school. While it seems that I am denied the privilege of contributing further in this development my hopes for its future are not dimmed. I hope more progress will be made in the next twelve years than has been made in the last twelve. I shall mention a few high lights since 1924. In 1924 there were 192 students and twelve teachers, in 1936, 567 students and thirteen and one half teachers. In 1924 there were 17 pupils to the teacher while in 1956 the number increased to 28. Thirteen hundred individuals have been enrolled one semester or longer during this time. Three hundred forty-one students were graduated from 1908 to 1924 while 649 were graduated from 1924 to 1936. The curriculum has become somewhat more academic because teachers have not been added in proportion to the enlarged enrollment. The library has deteriorated very much in the last few years. It seems easier to get any other equipment than books. Until the last few years the library was one of the best in the state. Over 69,000.00 was donated for school busses in a three year period. This speaks for the excellent cooperation that the patrons have given. Adequate high school transportation was provided in some parts of the county. Seven school busses were put into operation in Tyler county before the County Unit Law was passed. Tyler county high school was accepted by the North Cen- tral Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in 1926, the first year for any West Virginia high school. Senior class gifts, band instruments and uniforms to the value of over e4,000 have been given as follows: silverware, china, stage curtains, inside and outside lights, piano, stage furniture, stage lighting, manual training equipment, band uniforms and refrigerator. All these gifts are in excellent condition. The old gymnasium was remodeled for a library, a base- ment room was finished for home economics, the manual train- ing shop was built and three rooms were enlarged by removing partitions. Since 1925 only sixteen teachers have been replaced by others. This record will be hard to equal in any high school of this size in the state. I My sincere hope for the young people of Tyler county is that the high school will, in the future, be conducted solely for their benefit. Many of the best friendships that I have ever made are found among the alumni and patrons of Tyler county high school. This scheolmand Tyler county will always have my best wishes.
