Title A name given to the resource Rossville Schools Description An account of the resource From the 1971 Centennial book: The history of our earliest schools is limited, however, we do know that the first school was taught by Mrs. Gibson Metty in 1863, and the first term was held in a small log cabin near the creek on the west side. There were about 15 scholars in attendance, both white and Indian. It was a subscription school. Mrs. Metty was succeeded by Mrs. Guernsey and she in turn by Miss Jane Woodward. In the years 1865 to 1868, a number of citizens formed an association and established a private school which most of the children attended. They built a small one-story frame building on the corner of North Main and Marion Streets. The population by the year 1870 had increased sufficiently to allow the formation of District No. 34. A two-room frame building 14x23 was built near the corner of Navarre and Marion Streets with a daily attendance of about 14 and in the winter season about 20. This was the first public school in Rossville. In the spring of 1871 this school building was moved from its site and purchased by C.W. Higginbotham for use as part of his home (which stood near the S.M. Thompson residence). A large, two-story frame building was constructed on the same site as the former school. In the fall the building was completed, and school was taken up by a Mr. Grant with an attendance of about 30 pupils. In 1882, a meeting was held at the Rossville school to discuss the necessity for enlarging the school facilities. Many felt the existing school should have an addition added to secure more room, and a high fence built around the school yard. Others favored moving the two-story frame house off to a suburban site such as back of the Baptist Church on Mulvane’s farm or some similar location. The complaint of noise, and the children playing in the creek because of lack of adequate playground area were reasons given for moving the school. In the year 1884, it was decided that a new school should be built and the contract was let to William Binns. It was built of red brick and furnished inside with all the latest improvements of the time. There were four spacious rooms, two on the first floor and two on the upper, in the back of these rooms were wardrobes. In the front and center of the building, on the upper floor, was recitation room opening into either of the two rooms. This school house was located on the present Rossville Grade School grounds. Both grade and two years of high school were taught for several years in this school building, until a four year high school could be established. From the Topeka Daily Capital, December 22, 1940: “Rossville’s new District No. 34 Grade School was dedicated. It was built at a cost of approximately $42,000.00 and contains four classrooms, one combination classroom and library, an auditorium, kitchen, bathrooms and a boiler room.” From the Rossville paper June 15, 1952, “patrons of District No. 34 and consolidated districts voted 64 yes and 3 no on a proposal to issue $68,000 in bonds for enlarging the grade school building, now greatly overcrowded.” The new addition to the grade school was started September 1952. The last addition to the grade school was in 1963. From the Topeka Daily Capital, April 17, 1949: “Five rural school districts voted to consolidate with the Rossville District. They are Parr District No. 77, which closed April 1910; Cedar Bluff District No. 52, closed since April 1937; Lipp School which closed in 1938; and James and Twin Rose schools which closed in 1946.” In about the year 1910, it was voted by the citizens of Rossville to build a high school. Until the high school was completed, the students, because of overcrowding, attended classes in the old Fritz hall, which is now identified by location above the present Rossville Truck and Tractor building. During this time, part of the primary department was taught in the old Baptist church. The high school, which was named “The City School, “ was built just east of the existing grade school on Pottawatomie Street. Due to weather conditions, the school was not completed until the second semester started in January 1913. School continued to be held in this building until 1937 with an average enrollment of eighty. The Rossville Reporter published on March 12, 1936, that among the public works projects was Rossville’s proposed new high school building, with an outright gift of $38,000.00 towards its cost. In May petitions were circulated in the district, which were later presented to the Board of Education requesting an election to vote bonds for Rossville’s share of 55 percent towards the new building. On July 11th the district voted five to one to approve the issuance of $46,480.00 in bonds. The 4.5 acres of ground, located on the south side of Highway 24 was purchased from J.K. Conley at $500.00 per acre. On December 10th, 1936, the school board advertised for bids for the new school. In 1966, due to an act of the Legislature, Grade School District No. 34 and High School District No. 7 were unified with St. Marys, Delia and Emmett and became known as Kaw Valley Unified District No. 321. The Delia High School was closed and the students came to Rossville.

Description An account of the resource Rossville is fortunately situated in many ways—we are near a large city, Topeka, but far enough away to retain our own identity; we can be considered a bedroom community to Topeka since so many residents commute to work to the larger city; we are just north of the Kansas River and enjoy the fertile “Kaw River Valley,” which has benefited agriculture in our community since its very beginnings. From the early days, Rossville Township was blessed with fertile creek and river-bottom land, combined with the upland, which consisted of bluestem grass. The early settlers broke and cleared the bottom lands and part of the upland prairie. The settlers of the 1860-70s began farming and found the soil fertile and productive. However, the task of clearing the timberland and breaking prairie sod must have seemed insurmountable. Corn and wheat, the main crops, and cattle, hogs and other livestock-raising, became the basic agriculture of Rossville township. Many of these early farmers came to Kansas seeking land. They traveled by ox cart and wagon before the railroad went through, following the Oregon and other trails. Settlers bought land from the Santa Fe Railroad or from members of the Citizen Potawatomi Band, who were selling their allotment land. The first mention of early agriculture in Rossville comes from Dr. Gabbey’s account, written in 1886: “The Pottawatomi as a tribe never took kindly to agriculture, four or five acres in corn was a large field. Their fields were usually cleared up from the edge of the timber along the streams, as the Indian had little use for the Prairie kind.” One account gives the cost of prairie in the early days from $2.50 to $4.00 per acre. Lumber was worth from $25.00 to $39.00 dollars per thousand feet. Oxen cost $100.00 a yoke, mules from $100.00 to $200.00, horses $75.00 to $150.00, sheep $2.00 a head and chickens 25¢ each. Masons and carpenters received $2.00 to $3.00 per day in wages. Wheat was worth $1.50 per bushel and flour $4.50 per hundred pounds. From newspapers of 1877: “New corn brought in for shipment is getting 18¢ to 20¢ and corn huskers have been in demand at $1.00 per day and board; 2.5¢ per bushel thrown on the ground or 3.5¢ in the crib.” “Mr. Lambert James, a farmer living a few miles west of town has this season manufactured 1,500 gallon of sorghum molasses, which he readily disposed of at 50¢ per gallon.” But challenges persisted for early settlers. Although this was an extremely desirable area for agriculture and the raising of livestock, it was not possible for the early settlers to procure manufactured goods from the East without paying an extremely high freight bill. It was also impossible to ship their grain and produce economically. River freight was tried but the Kaw River often times did not have enough water to make shipping dependable so the answer to this problem was the railroad. Rossville’s answer came May 18, 1866, when the first train passed through the town. Corn was the main crop and early editors gave much space extolling its excellence. Corn cribs were numerous along the south side of the railroad tracks and on the east side of north Main. A water powered grist mill was located on Cross Creek north of town. Mulvane Bros. built a steam powered mill south of the railroad tracks. One of the earliest farmers was Henry Ford, who acquired 80 acres southwest of Rossville in 1864. His wife was the former Mary Nadeau, who came to Rossville from Indiana in 1862. Henry Ford came to Kansas in 1863 and was a stage coach driver for the Overland Stage Company between Topeka and Manhattan. He met his wife at “Buttermilk Station” where she worked for her brother, Big Alex Nadeau. While working to clear their land of timber and build a log house, they lived in one room of a three room house, west of Cross Creek, north of the old Oregon and California trails. The other two rooms were occupied by Dr. and Mrs. R.S. Gabbey and Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Higginbotham. After the Fords moved into their log cabin, Mrs. Ford often rode horseback nine miles with her baby to the mission in St. Marys. The first flowers she had to plant by the cabin were given to her by the nuns at the Mission. Another early farmer, John DeGraff settled south of Rossville in 1865. He and his wife, the former Frances Navarre, lived in a small dugout until their house was built.

Title A name given to the resource KSU Offers Short Course for Farmers, Rossville, Kansas Description An account of the resource Page 12 St. Marys Star February 5, 1980 KSU Offers Short Course for Young Farmers Art Campbell of Rossville is par¬ticipating in the Kansas State University short course for young farmers, January 14 to March 7. There are 56 men enrolled in the eight-week program designed to help farmers who are unable to participate in a two or four-year course of study. Carroll V. Hess, KSU dean of agriculture, said, “All these young men, if they remain in farming, will eventually be managing a very sizeable capital investment. They will be working on close margins where the difference between success and failure will hinge on wise management decisions.” Campbell will be studying four subject areas. The agricultural economics class emphasizes business management. Agronomy provides basic principles and practices of soil management, seed, crop growth, weed and insect control. An animal sciences course focuses on nutrition, breeding and marketing. The ag engineering applications course outlines grain drying, storage and handling; irrigation, soil and water conservation, and farm facilities planning. Par¬ticipants earn eight college credits for the short course. Instructors of the program are K- State faculty, Extension agents and experiment station personnel. The young farmers attend classes and laboratories located at the Manhattan campus. Campbell is a 1965 graduate of Rossville High School.

Title A name given to the resource Peoples State Bank Holstein Club, Rossville, Kansas Description An account of the resource To the Members of Our Holstein Club We wish to thank each and every member for their help, kindness and patience shown in the distribution of our grade Hol¬stein heifers that arrived last week. Not one complaint was made by a member that he hadn’t got a fair deal and wasn’t satisfied. That makes it more of a pleasure to us to exert ourselves in a move¬ment of this kind when all the boys are good sports and willing to take their chance. These cattle were brought from the Holstein Center of Wisconsin where grading has reached its highest point. In that vicinity, land that don’t lay as well as our upland brings $300 and more an acre and large fine improvements predominate. They have better blue grass but they have little success with alfalfa so we have a good substitute. It is our hope that it will result in a Holstein movement around Rossville and then we will raise more cow feed on the upland and less grain making land less sub¬ject to wash as it did this spring for instance. And what can be done on the upland can be done on a greater scale in the bottoms. Every farm has silos in Wiscon¬sin even if it is only a hole in the ground. When Holsteins are thick enough here then it will be soon enough to co-operate towards im¬proving our market, bringing in a condensery, creamery etc. such as has been done at Mulvane and Tonganoxie, Kans. Mr. Morris Bond gave us of his time liberally and used his best judgment together with help of an expert who knew the territory and cattle and was painstaking in getting right prices and heifers only from heavy milkers. Now that they are here it is up to you to develop the cows. Be gentle with them and look after them closely. In Wisconsin they don't have any dogs because they are afraid they will worry the cattle. Be careful with yours. You know a dog at the heels of a fine thorough-bred mare would make the mare very nervous so with high bred milk cows. Be careful of alfalfa for awhile. If you give them conditions similiar [sic] to those where they came from for awhile, such as shady pasture and good water they will rapidly pick up and by spring you will have some¬thing worth while. As to the sale provision in the spring, we are not sure of pulling that off. We will talk with you about it. We would like to have an exhibition if we don’t have the sale and will offer some good prizes for best looking criters [sic]. Our expense amounted to $122.80 for freight and feed en-route. Other expense including railroad fare of Bond, hotel bills, auto hire, telegrams etc. and a few expenses here amounted to $61.14 which adds to the price we paid of each cow, $5.10 on each. Let us hear whenever you are in how the heifer is doing. If these animals give satisfaction or appear to we will get several more cars in. Many have already asked to be included next time. Whether any more comes in or not depends the demand.

Title A name given to the resource Rossville Schools Description An account of the resource From the 1971 Centennial book: The history of our earliest schools is limited, however, we do know that the first school was taught by Mrs. Gibson Metty in 1863, and the first term was held in a small log cabin near the creek on the west side. There were about 15 scholars in attendance, both white and Indian. It was a subscription school. Mrs. Metty was succeeded by Mrs. Guernsey and she in turn by Miss Jane Woodward. In the years 1865 to 1868, a number of citizens formed an association and established a private school which most of the children attended. They built a small one-story frame building on the corner of North Main and Marion Streets. The population by the year 1870 had increased sufficiently to allow the formation of District No. 34. A two-room frame building 14x23 was built near the corner of Navarre and Marion Streets with a daily attendance of about 14 and in the winter season about 20. This was the first public school in Rossville. In the spring of 1871 this school building was moved from its site and purchased by C.W. Higginbotham for use as part of his home (which stood near the S.M. Thompson residence). A large, two-story frame building was constructed on the same site as the former school. In the fall the building was completed, and school was taken up by a Mr. Grant with an attendance of about 30 pupils. In 1882, a meeting was held at the Rossville school to discuss the necessity for enlarging the school facilities. Many felt the existing school should have an addition added to secure more room, and a high fence built around the school yard. Others favored moving the two-story frame house off to a suburban site such as back of the Baptist Church on Mulvane’s farm or some similar location. The complaint of noise, and the children playing in the creek because of lack of adequate playground area were reasons given for moving the school. In the year 1884, it was decided that a new school should be built and the contract was let to William Binns. It was built of red brick and furnished inside with all the latest improvements of the time. There were four spacious rooms, two on the first floor and two on the upper, in the back of these rooms were wardrobes. In the front and center of the building, on the upper floor, was recitation room opening into either of the two rooms. This school house was located on the present Rossville Grade School grounds. Both grade and two years of high school were taught for several years in this school building, until a four year high school could be established. From the Topeka Daily Capital, December 22, 1940: “Rossville’s new District No. 34 Grade School was dedicated. It was built at a cost of approximately $42,000.00 and contains four classrooms, one combination classroom and library, an auditorium, kitchen, bathrooms and a boiler room.” From the Rossville paper June 15, 1952, “patrons of District No. 34 and consolidated districts voted 64 yes and 3 no on a proposal to issue $68,000 in bonds for enlarging the grade school building, now greatly overcrowded.” The new addition to the grade school was started September 1952. The last addition to the grade school was in 1963. From the Topeka Daily Capital, April 17, 1949: “Five rural school districts voted to consolidate with the Rossville District. They are Parr District No. 77, which closed April 1910; Cedar Bluff District No. 52, closed since April 1937; Lipp School which closed in 1938; and James and Twin Rose schools which closed in 1946.” In about the year 1910, it was voted by the citizens of Rossville to build a high school. Until the high school was completed, the students, because of overcrowding, attended classes in the old Fritz hall, which is now identified by location above the present Rossville Truck and Tractor building. During this time, part of the primary department was taught in the old Baptist church. The high school, which was named “The City School, “ was built just east of the existing grade school on Pottawatomie Street. Due to weather conditions, the school was not completed until the second semester started in January 1913. School continued to be held in this building until 1937 with an average enrollment of eighty. The Rossville Reporter published on March 12, 1936, that among the public works projects was Rossville’s proposed new high school building, with an outright gift of $38,000.00 towards its cost. In May petitions were circulated in the district, which were later presented to the Board of Education requesting an election to vote bonds for Rossville’s share of 55 percent towards the new building. On July 11th the district voted five to one to approve the issuance of $46,480.00 in bonds. The 4.5 acres of ground, located on the south side of Highway 24 was purchased from J.K. Conley at $500.00 per acre. On December 10th, 1936, the school board advertised for bids for the new school. In 1966, due to an act of the Legislature, Grade School District No. 34 and High School District No. 7 were unified with St. Marys, Delia and Emmett and became known as Kaw Valley Unified District No. 321. The Delia High School was closed and the students came to Rossville.

Hartzell Russell L. Parr V Mr. Easdale has been the janitor of the Rossville schools for a number of years. He is one of those rare personages who will go out of his way to do a favor. Any time there’s anything wrong he’ll sympathize with you. Any time there’s anything funny, tell Mr. Easdale and he will laugh with you. And so it goes, there’s never a thing comes up but he is ready to do all he can to help out. Favors are Mr. Easdale’s specialty, and they are the kind that don’t have to be asked for. The fact is, the school children have been so used to re¬ceiving these favors that they almost forget to appreciate them as they should. He is just a jolly good fellow always ready with a glad hand and a cheery smile to do anything for us that he can. If he has any enemies, they don’t live around Rossville; just let any one from school hear anything said against Mr. Easdale and there’s something doing right away. The high school basket ball team of ’16-17 is one of which Rossville may well be proud. Although the team was rather light it took a husky team to beat them. They upheld the motto which has always been observed by all Rossville teams, whether it was in basket ball, base ball, track meets or any other form of interscholastic contests and that is, ‘ Fair play and a square deal” The girls’ basket ball team of ’16 17 will never be forgotten. They were never beaten by any team during the whole season. They had the Rossville spirit, plenty of pep and a red-headed captain. Is it any wonder they never were beaten? Not at all, because they never played a game. THE TRACK MEETS The first year Rossville entered the track meet, was in 1911. It was new to all the students, and as they were a little bashful, they were not for¬tunate enough to win any of the cups. The next year Rossville school was winner of the cup offered to the grade school whose pupils scored the highest number of points, the cup for the high school whose pupils scored the highest number of points, and the cup for the winning grade school relay team. Three of the Rossville students were awarded medals for the individuals winning the highest number of points. In 1913 the third Shawnee County Track meet was held. On account of the rain the meet was carried on in the old Exposition hall building near the entrance to the grounds. It was staging the meet under a heavy handi¬cap, but the schools were able to compete on a fairly equal basis. Three of the four cups were presented to Rossville. Four of the six medals given to grade school athletes were won by Rossville pupils, and two of the medals for high school winners were awarded to Rossville athletes. Rossville High school had little difficulty in running away with the high school events in 1914. The grade school, however, was not so fortunate and only won fourth place. The track was in fine condition and unusual records were made. Next to the joyful memories of this day the contestants will probably remember best their sunburned backs. Rossville succeded in win¬ning three of the six loving cups offered by Governor Capper. The three medals for the three boys winning the highest number of points of any high school were won by Rossville. This year, the other schools being a little afraid of Rossville, combined, but the combination did not seem to hurt us in the least. “AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW” Senior Class Play, given at the Fritz Opera House, May 22 and 23, 1917 CHARACTERS Robert Preston, a lawyer - - Leslie Griswold Douglas Brown, a football player - Riley Mitchell Dick Preston, the groom - - Pheane Ross Stanley Palmer, “Hawkins, the butler” - Thurlow Neiswender Ted Whitney, captain of the ’Varsity team - Fred Stewart Jack Austin, Preston’s Secretary - - Marlin Evans Marion Dayton, A Ward of Preston’s - Mabel Howerton Nellie Preston, A Bride Irene Howard Louise Lane, Known as Miss Grayson - Margaret McCollough Phyllis Lane, A Football Enthusiast - Mildred McCollough Kathleen Knox, Chairman of the Rushing Committee Gladys Hartzell The Imp, A Freshman - - Lucille Stevens Emily Elliott, With a Conscience - Blanche Kesler Jane, A Maid with a Taste for Literature Margaret McCollough Mrs. Brown, Step-Mother of Douglas Brown - Blanche Kesler Polly Price Edna Sanders Elsa Ernest Blanche Kelser Marjorie Arnold of the Theti Pi Edna Sanders Marie Swift Blanche Kesler Molly Bruce Gladys Eversole SYNOPSIS Scene – A College Town Time—Present Day Act I—“Den” in the Theta Phi House Act II—Library in the Preston Home Marion’s Mask Rail—Two Weeks Later Act III—Interior of Athletic Club House Afternoon and Evening of Game JUNIOR-SENIOR “STUNT” PROGRAM FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 16, 1917 FRITZ OPERA HOUSE Popular songs Chorus Solo—“Carry Me Back to Old Virginny” ..

Of the boys of English three, And if they all got married Why none of them ever asked me. So I sit alone in the twilight. And again 1 seem to be In dear old Rossville high school.

These Alumni banquets get on my nerves.” “But you were the one who wanted to go so badly” replied my com-panion. “Didn’t you have a nice time? Didn’t you see any of the 1917 Alumni? Oh! I know you did. Now tell me all about them. I’m so anxious to hear.” ‘‘Yes I’ll have to admit that I had a perfectly lovely time and I did see all the 1917 Alumni. It was such fun hearing what they had done since that night they graduated from dear old R. H. S.” Irene Howard is manager of a musical company, the name of which is known all over the world.

There not being enough to make a new district school successful, a number of the citizens of Rossville formed a little association and built a small one story frame building on the corner of North Main and Marion streets. A teacher was hired and most of the children in town at¬tended that private school. By the year 1870 the country was in a very prosperous state and was much more thickly settled than it had been four or five years previous. So it was at this time that district 34 was formed and a two room frame building was built on the corner of Navarre and Marion streets. This was the first public school that was ever known in Rossville. As the school attendance was steadily increasing, a few years later a large two story frame building, now known as the Rossville Hotel, was built on the same location as this former school had stood. Mr. Higginbotham bought the old building, moved it away and used it for a part of his house. School in this new building was a perfect success and prospered wonderfully. In the year 1884 it was decided that a new and better school house should be built. So in the fall of 1885 a new two story building of red brick, which is still standing and is being used at the present time for the grade school, was ready for use. It was greatly appreciated by all those who had a part in it. The building has undergone many changes and improvements and today it is a place dear to many people because it is there they received all the education they have. There being two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs, four teachers have always been employed. In about the year 1910 it was voted by the citizens of Rossville to build a High school building in this community under the Barnes law. Until the High school was completed the High school students were instructed in the fourth room and library of the grade building. In order to do this, the first room children were moved down into the old Baptist church. The two upper rooms were then moved; the fourth room pupils occupying the third room and the third room pupils occupying the second room and so on down. The site for the new building was thought to be the best just east of the grade building, so work was started immediately. The building is a beautiful structure made of buff colored brick, the lower part of the building being pebble dashed. It is heated by oil, lighted with electricity, has a fine ventilat¬ing system, domestic science and manual training rooms, a large auditorium, and four recitation rooms. It was thought the building would be ready for use by the fall of 1912, but every one especially the students who were ready to enter High school was sadly disappointed. On account of the weather and other hindrances, the contractors had not completed the work. High school was held in the Fritz opera house for the first part of the year but at the beginning of the second semester the students entered the new building. Four teachers were employed up until the years 1915-16 when, in order to lessen expenses, and there not being a very large enrollment, three teachers were hired. This year 1916—17 also there are only three teachers employed in the High school. The average enrollment of the High school is about forty-five. The first class to graduate from Rossville high school was composed of one member but the following year and each succeeding year, there has been on an average, a class of about twelve or fourteen. This High school is on the accredited list of High schools and a diploma will admit you to any higher institution. In athletics the school has always taken a prominent part. They have taken all the honors and prizes at the County Track Meet every year they have entered, excepting the first year when they were not so experienced as now. So we should all extend our heartiest wishes for the success of Rossville High school and hope that nothing will impede her progress.

Title A name given to the resource Rossville Schools Description An account of the resource From the 1971 Centennial book: The history of our earliest schools is limited, however, we do know that the first school was taught by Mrs. Gibson Metty in 1863, and the first term was held in a small log cabin near the creek on the west side. There were about 15 scholars in attendance, both white and Indian. It was a subscription school. Mrs. Metty was succeeded by Mrs. Guernsey and she in turn by Miss Jane Woodward. In the years 1865 to 1868, a number of citizens formed an association and established a private school which most of the children attended. They built a small one-story frame building on the corner of North Main and Marion Streets. The population by the year 1870 had increased sufficiently to allow the formation of District No. 34. A two-room frame building 14x23 was built near the corner of Navarre and Marion Streets with a daily attendance of about 14 and in the winter season about 20. This was the first public school in Rossville. In the spring of 1871 this school building was moved from its site and purchased by C.W. Higginbotham for use as part of his home (which stood near the S.M. Thompson residence). A large, two-story frame building was constructed on the same site as the former school. In the fall the building was completed, and school was taken up by a Mr. Grant with an attendance of about 30 pupils. In 1882, a meeting was held at the Rossville school to discuss the necessity for enlarging the school facilities. Many felt the existing school should have an addition added to secure more room, and a high fence built around the school yard. Others favored moving the two-story frame house off to a suburban site such as back of the Baptist Church on Mulvane’s farm or some similar location. The complaint of noise, and the children playing in the creek because of lack of adequate playground area were reasons given for moving the school. In the year 1884, it was decided that a new school should be built and the contract was let to William Binns. It was built of red brick and furnished inside with all the latest improvements of the time. There were four spacious rooms, two on the first floor and two on the upper, in the back of these rooms were wardrobes. In the front and center of the building, on the upper floor, was recitation room opening into either of the two rooms. This school house was located on the present Rossville Grade School grounds. Both grade and two years of high school were taught for several years in this school building, until a four year high school could be established. From the Topeka Daily Capital, December 22, 1940: “Rossville’s new District No. 34 Grade School was dedicated. It was built at a cost of approximately $42,000.00 and contains four classrooms, one combination classroom and library, an auditorium, kitchen, bathrooms and a boiler room.” From the Rossville paper June 15, 1952, “patrons of District No. 34 and consolidated districts voted 64 yes and 3 no on a proposal to issue $68,000 in bonds for enlarging the grade school building, now greatly overcrowded.” The new addition to the grade school was started September 1952. The last addition to the grade school was in 1963. From the Topeka Daily Capital, April 17, 1949: “Five rural school districts voted to consolidate with the Rossville District. They are Parr District No. 77, which closed April 1910; Cedar Bluff District No. 52, closed since April 1937; Lipp School which closed in 1938; and James and Twin Rose schools which closed in 1946.” In about the year 1910, it was voted by the citizens of Rossville to build a high school. Until the high school was completed, the students, because of overcrowding, attended classes in the old Fritz hall, which is now identified by location above the present Rossville Truck and Tractor building. During this time, part of the primary department was taught in the old Baptist church. The high school, which was named “The City School, “ was built just east of the existing grade school on Pottawatomie Street. Due to weather conditions, the school was not completed until the second semester started in January 1913. School continued to be held in this building until 1937 with an average enrollment of eighty. The Rossville Reporter published on March 12, 1936, that among the public works projects was Rossville’s proposed new high school building, with an outright gift of $38,000.00 towards its cost. In May petitions were circulated in the district, which were later presented to the Board of Education requesting an election to vote bonds for Rossville’s share of 55 percent towards the new building. On July 11th the district voted five to one to approve the issuance of $46,480.00 in bonds. The 4.5 acres of ground, located on the south side of Highway 24 was purchased from J.K. Conley at $500.00 per acre. On December 10th, 1936, the school board advertised for bids for the new school. In 1966, due to an act of the Legislature, Grade School District No. 34 and High School District No. 7 were unified with St. Marys, Delia and Emmett and became known as Kaw Valley Unified District No. 321. The Delia High School was closed and the students came to Rossville.
