or i YTYLERI ecHoes'1 ig. V LJ- p .. ECHOES FROM THE FA 5 T After a person leaves school he reflects over the friend- ships and good times of his school days, of the little inci- dents that happened to make his time in school worth more to him, of the trouble he got into, the teachers, his friends and what the school has done for him. In the past twenty-six years there have been 990 students graduate from Tyler County High School. Graduates of this school have entered all dif- ferent walks of life. Some are lawyers, doctors, engineers, aviators, politicians, and teachers. In the next few pages we have tried to bring to you what the graduates think of their Alma Mater. Since it would be im possible to reproduce letters from all the graduates, one per- son from each class was asked to write a few words. - Class of 1910 The Class of 1910 holds the distinction of being the first one to graduate from Tyler County High. Its members consider it very outstanding in other respects. It gave a good account of itself in the classroom and it was instru- mental in the organization of such activities as the first -' athletic teams, literary societies, and dramatic and musical clubs. In addition, it furnished the faculty with many original ideas and the principal with his wife. One incident that amused the class was the attempt of the writer, who is without any musical ability, to sing Sweet and Low in a quartet. Needless to say, he sang neither sweet nor low,' whereupon the quartet was reorganized. ' I. O. Ash, Professor of Secondary Education, Shepherd State Teachers College ' b ii:- Class of 1911 The Class of l9ll was the first four-year class to be graduated from Tyler High School, and each member of the class continued beyond high school. 1 - In the period of years since our Commencement, Tyler's enrollment has increased from the original fifty to three hundred and seventy-five. Buses were unheard of in our time, and parents were either forced to move to town, or to board , their children with friends in Middlebourne. The entrance ages have undergone a marked change. In our class the ages ran between fourteen and sixteen, and now many are freshmen at twelve or thirteen. W e s me 4 I

' Partitions have been removed enlarging class rooms--Home Ec room has been made from a furnace room. The study hall has been made from our old gym. These are only a few of the changes which have been made. ' Fay Kirchner, teacher Tyler County High School, Middlebourne, W. Va. .--Q..-.-1.-.-..-.i.- Class of 1912 You who now hold responsibility for publication of Tyler Echoes must look out upon life somewhat at variance with the viewpoint of an earlier period when the Class of l9l2 strug- gled with the first Echoes of Tyler High. Certainly you do look out upon and are soon to walk out into a vastly changed world from ours. Would you picture a world in which high school was new - an innovation? A county seat without elec- tric line, railroad, improved highway, or paved streets, and into which the first Ford car had just made appearance? When to travel to Sistersville to solicit ads for the yearbook meant a full day's trip? That was Middlebourne of our high school days. .But they were glorious days as are yours, for youth is not an age after all but a period complete and beau- tiful always.f I salute you and charge you to hold it ever so - sacred and loyal to its.high ideals. H. Cliff-Hamilton, Assistant Supervisor Elementary Schools . I . .11-Q.-..1..-.-.1-1 Class of 1915 A warm spot in my heart will always be reserved for the Tyler County High School. For whatever degree of success I may have attained, I owe a greater debt of gratitude to the Tyler County High School than any other institution of learn- ing. It bridged a seemingly unsurmountable chasm to a greater degree of success to me as well as to scores of others who had waited too long for its inception. Reminisences of student days there are delightful, results of the work done there are profitable, and my appreciation for it then, now and always, unwavering. if ' A D. N.
