NMTYLER ECHGES,-,Mm 1, IN THE SPIUN6 A YOUNG MANS FANCY THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER I was drafted into that war. The war of the innocent, the battle of horror My arm is goneg I cannot find My way aboutg I have lost my mind. I have tramped through the lakes of gore, Once living flesh but never more. The bodies of men who died like dogs Lay scattered around like slaughtered hogs. Oh God, what awful sights I saw, Of limbs and bodies and flesh in raw, Which were blasted apart by the roaring guns Manned by the Reaper's bloody sons Ah, many men died for their countries' sake, Their souls will never silence break, Or tell of the horrors that they had viewed Or describe the men the shells had chewed And now in thls vault I lie at rest, Oh God, lift thls burden from my chest, Never again may the people fight For the crave of money and the want of might Maurice Smith '57 NOTHING What have we done in our long hours of play When we should have been oatiently working And helping some brother along the way 9 The answer is always nothing Vhat have we galned through this livelong day By fighting fussing, and cheating When we should be honest without delay 9 The answer again 1S nothing So let us always be honest and kind, And meet our frlends with a smlle It will help them their troubles unwind And the answer will be somethlng worth whlle Verohle Davis '59 '9 36 J I I U - .

ECHOES-, o, r I wish to express here my deep gratitude to my teachers in Tyler My wider of County High for the part they played in my education experience only serves to intensify my appreciation that group as one of the highest quality men and women. A. Fitzpatrick, teacher, Naranjito, P. R. .-.......-... ---Q-Q--4----.f Class of 1952 I am glad to contribute a few lines concerning the happy days in Tyler High. 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. All but three or four the rest single. the result of being the best English Careful, class, that is to-most are happily married and Most of the men are stil to go.

Stealey, president Class of 1925 Kim 'Ii 'IQQSEQTSQLSE We live measurably more in the past and less exclusively in the future as time takes us forward. 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.

' A ' he , , :melafeof1lossr,,,-. , I, SPRING After days of dreary weather, The sun began to shine, While couples walked together And sang uSweet Adeline.n The little birds burst into song, The turtle doves did coo, The whip-poor-will called to his mate, The old owl said NWho? Who?n While strolling down beside the brook, I looked into a tree, And there I saw a mother Rook With young which numbered three. My heart it rose with joy and song, For spring is here again. Winter for me is always wrong, With its wind, and snow, and rain. V , - Merle Weekley '59 SPRINGTIME There are flowers in the woodland, There are flowers in the glen, There are flowers where the raindrops Wash their faces now and then. ' There are birds' songs in the bushes, And nests among the trees. The butterflies are on the wing, Beside the humming bees. ' All Nature is awakening, 4 When all these things we hear, I And we notice a glad rejoicing, For the spring we love is here. Lorene Morrell '59 ' 1936 T 1-
