I -TYLER ECHOES - The Tyler Band The band, directed by Wilbur W. Howard, has added much to our assembly pro- grams and football games this year. They have made unusual progress, we believe due to the stimulus of promised uniforms. The Womans Club and Lions Club are sponsoring the purchase of the band uni- fonms. It ie regretted that the uniforms were not ordered in time to use them in the picture. As this page of the Echoes goes to prese,the plans are to place the order for the uniforms as soon as the Lions Club guarantees the money which it has promised to the fund. Four or five companies are submitting bids on var- ious typos of uniforms. Salem College is planning to sponsor a festival for school bands of nearby communities. Sometime in May en all-state festival is to be held at Huntington. Tyler plana to send the band to participate in each of these programs.

SCHOOL HfXHt1Lm+ As one enters the high school building, he sees on the right a room that is alive with the hum of activity. Type- writers click, reporters rush out to get facts and rush back to write the stories that go to make up the two school papers which are published weekly by the students of Tyler. The Red and Black Review is published as a full page in the Tyler County Star News, the Tygghi is published as a quarter page in the Tyler County Journal. After talking to A. J. Gibson, State Supervisor of High Schools who has visited all the high schools in West Virgini the staff decided that Tyler is the only high school in the state that published two distinct, separate weekly papers. Different editorials are always used for these papers. Al- though the same stories are used part of the time, they are always rewritten.
