The rooms were divided with folding doors which could be opened for larger meetings.
The land on which the school was built was donated by Mr. G. F. Tomlinson, who was one of the trustees at this time. His son Jim was on the school board later. An active Sunday School was maintained in the community throughout the years. They also had a Parent Teachers Association, Home Demonstration Club, 4-H Club, community parties, and used the school building to hold elections.
All the pupils' names cannot be listed. Neither can the knowledge
they gained at the school be measured; but, for many the school
has been the scene of their happiest childhood memories. Rural schools
have disappeared, leaving buildings filled with empty seats, which,
too, will eventually disappear. But the time will never erase the
part the rural school has contributed to the glorious history of
our country. By Mrs. Roy

LOVE
SCHOOL
George E. Love filed ten miles east of Tulia in 1890 and furnished
the land for a rural school building which was built in 1892, an early
school of the county. The J.A. cowboys and wagons helped haul the
lumber from Amarillo, and men of the area did the building.
The original building was later changed to a larger frame building
to accommodate community needs, and into a four-room brick about
1924.
Love organizations stood at the top in the area. Sunday school, church services, and community gatherings were centered around the school.
George Love, Reginald Thomas, Ben Caraway, and others, coached by
1. L. Devin, won some county, district and state medals in literary
and athletic events in 1920.
Names of early families of Love are: George E. |
