Margie (Patterson) Webb with her students when she was a teacher at Lott High School. She is on the front row, far left hand side of the photo.

Eva Lee Rushing

Second Row:
Tennie Lee Ruble (my aunt)
Next 5 are unknown
Eileen Lamour is on the right end

Tennie remembers that this is a pep club and that the boys in the back are the football team. Tennie Lee and my mother were not in the same class and therefore she believes that it could not be a class picture.

Note: Mary Elizabeth Ruble and Tennie Lee Ruble were sisters.

This is part of a Graduation Book given to Margie (Patterson) Webb by her sister, Jewel (Patterson) Robinson, in May 1928. Jewel is the first person to sign the book as you will see. Both Jewel and Margie went on to graduate from Mary Hardin Baylor after they finished high school in Lott.

Jewel (Patterson) is the grandmother of Donna Streetenberger.

The sign says : 2nd to 5th Grades Lott School Oct. 1910.

I believe my Dad, Horace Edward Dickson, is on the second row, 6th from the right with his chin in his hands.

He was born in Lott, Falls Co.,Texas on May 16, 1902.

On his second grade report card it has his teacher being Fay Yeldell. This may be the teacher in the picutre but I am not certain of this.

Elizabeth "Libby" Dickson Golbach

W. G. Kirkscey son of Thomas Cicero and Bernice (Barnett) Kirkscey, played football for Lott High School. This is a picture of him wearing his school Lettermen Sweater.

W. G. Kirkscey was born May 25, 1913 in Belfalls, Falls Co., Texas, d April 12, 2002 and is buried in Memorial Park South Woods Cemetery in Memphis, Shelby Co., Tennessee. He married Mamie Bernice Davis on October 16, 1934 in Waco, McLennan Co., Texas.

This picture was not dated, but was probably taken around 1930 I would guess. He would have been about 17 then.
