| Flint
School - Prior to 1914, the children living in the area
ten miles northeast of Kress were going to the Wright School,
and riding horses eight miles to get there. Some of the men
of the community arranged to have a school on the Drake ranch,
taught by one teacher. Those living in the Flint community
took pride in it and felt that the school and community had
a significant part in pioneering the area. |

School - Lakeview School was organized in 1891, and was

in 1902, and used until 1916. A two room brick building was
placed at the same site, eight miles west of Tulia, on Highway
86. The land on which the school was built was donated by
Mr. G. F. Tomlinson, one of the trustees. |

| McGuire
School - Jefferson R. McGuire came to Swisher County in
1891. Bertha Ann Ashby came to visit her aunt, Mrs. Ferd Faulkner,
and met J. R. McGuire. They were married May 12, 1896. They
first lived in a dugout and one-room house, and in 1909 built
a two-story house. That same year Mr. McGuire gave land for
a school, and both the school and the community were named
McGuire. The building served as both a church and a school.
Mr. McGuire was a school trustee for many years, and served
as a county commissioner for Precinct 4 in 1900 and some time
thereafter. From 1918-1920 Lucile Wilson Youngblood taught
at the McGuire School and boarded with the McGuire family. |
