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. Class of 1928 s l936l,

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

I consider that the training I received in music able and that has continue and dramatics gave me a background for many profit- pleasurable friendships. It is a useful preparation aided me to have a brighter out-look in life as I my advanced studies in commercial lines. I, there- fore, owe a debt of appreciation to Tyler High. I consider its influence will be largely responsible for any success that I may achieve. Marshall Howard, student, Salem College Class of 1925 It is difficult for me to write about the Class of '25, because I always have to mention the fact that that class was perhaps the best to ever graduate from dear old Tyler. This statement can be proved by at least 58 persnns, members of the graduation class. ' Success has come to most of our of the girls.

One cannot think of Tyler High and fail to honor the institution, its teachers, and former class mates. While students come and go, teachers change, the pleasant memories cultivated over years are dur- able and cherished throughout life as among the brightest spots, the happiest hours, and the fondest hopes of our lives On this occasion I wish especially to honor the memory' of Miss Gatura Yates, who since has passed beyond to her eternal classificationg and one whose teachings of truth have lingered on as sources of inspiration and attainment.
