S. Florence Musgrave, teacher, junior high school, South Orange, N. J. Q. - Class of 1921 l 1921-1936, fifteen years, yet uechoesn of happy high school days remain. As is true with all classes, the climax- ing event of our career at Tyler High was Com encement Day. For us, that was an occasion of conflicting emotions: we were proud to receive diplomas, yet reluctant to part from our esteemed Principal and friend, Mr. Broadwater, from our teachers and from each other. During intervening years our paths have led far and wide, but the Class of 1921 shall ever remain united in an expression of best wishes for Tyler County High School. Ralph Duty, U. S. Navy Class of 1922 I wish to bring greetings from the class of '22 and also our compliments upon the publication of this year's annual. We like to feel that it is a tradition of the school which we revived, for our class as juniors in 1921 published the first Echoes after its discontinuation in 1916. - While most of our members are strangers to the present faculty and student body, I feel sure every one still main- tains the deep love and respect for Tyler High which they had while students there. Mildred Owens, teacher, Ellsworth School, Middlebourne, W. Va. . Class of 1925 A The members of my class really believed that Tyler was i the best high school in the states All of our teachers were exceptionally well trained, and many taught in colleges later. Practically all students were interested in literary con- tests and athletics. State championships were won in literary events and in basketball contests among the smaller schools. ' Our best times were in class parties, school movies, club meetings, and the athletic games. While the students took

o a TYLER ECHOEASQ c Do you remember when The present library was the gym? And the coach, who also taught math, Let us celebrate the wwinsn in class? Until, one day, Alas! The principal happened in? And the student, who was singing, And keeping time with a rule, Started in explaining a theorem. CJust like you do in school?J But the theorem did not prove to be a ruse For Mr. Garrison had already heard our Uthusen? And no more did we celebrate, Alas! The basketball victories in class? Opal Jemiscn Jones, Braden, W. Va. Class of 1919 It was uStunt Night.N A class was having a party after the performance. A large pan of cookies had been placed on the window sill outside of the Home Ec. room to cool. nlrishn Flanagan, all dressed up in his best, had noticed the pan when it was placed there but failed to observe that it had been replaced by a large pan of warm jello. A thought developed. nlrishn sum oned the gang. The idea was to tip the pan and catch the cookies. The fellows were placed the pan was tipped. The gang did not attend the annual event. S M. T. Hill, principal, Wallace Public Schools, Wallace, W. Va. Class of 1920 Even though this particular alumnus may justly be accused of moralizing, she must confess that one of the sharpest mem- ories of Tyler has to do with an occasion when Uretribution was swiftn.

Writer put down date 1865-decided to check by aforementioned classmate Cse- cretly, by the over the shoulder processl changed date to 1856. I Outcome: O Moral: ??9???????? And, to offset the tragedy of this tale, is the recoll- ection of a fragrant May night--the ping of ukeleles--voices bursting forth in the melancholy nTill We Meet Againn or, in A W 19536- 5

Arnett, principal, Greenbrier High School ..1-.11-Q--1.1-1--Q Class of 1924 On behalf of the class of 1924 there is extended to the Tyler County High School the best of wishes for continued success. It is with the most profound sentiment that we re- call the pleasurable days spent there and for that reason are interested in its activities and achievements. We take this opportunity to charge the present and prospective students with the duty of preserving its memories, glories and tradit- ions-that are imbedded in our hearts and minds. Richard C. Moore, attorney at law, Parkersburg, W. Va. .l.....i-.q-.1..1...- Class of 1926 When the class of '26 had given the annual senior play, the question arose as to how the money would be spent. The majority of the class voted to use the money to finance a trip to Washington for the whole class. Mr. Wood bitterly opposed this plan, but the class was determined to carry it out. After quite a lot of excitement the class finally compromised and purchased a new curtain for the stage of the auditorium. Looking back over this incident I can see where the trip to Washington would have been a foolish way to spend the money while the curtain has made a great improvement to the audi- torium of Tyler High. John Adams, teacher - Middlebourne, W. Va. Class of 1927 The most outstanding memory of Tyler County High School, and one that will always live with me, was the whole-hearted spirit of friendliness and cooperation. Not only between students, but with the faculty and student-body as well. May this same spirit live as long as there is a Tyler High, to be carried out with her alumni and spread as their contacts with life are made. Lee Furnell, government engineer, Point Pleasant, W. Va.
