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.

Title A name given to the resource Rossville Grade School Update, 1954, Rossville, Kansas Description An account of the resource GRADE SCHOOL NEWS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1954 FIRST GRADE We were pleased to have so many visitors during American Education Week. The following parents and friends came to visit our room: Mrs. Wm. Farley, Mrs. Bill Murray, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Pardee, Mrs. H.D. Richardson and David, Mr. Frank Dolezilek, Mr. and Mrs. John Simekca, Mrs. Leroy Parr, Mrs. Albert Coleman, Mrs. A.M. Sieck, Mrs. Donic Parr, Mrs. Hope Meade, Mrs. John Foresman, Mrs. C.E.

They also had their pictures taken for their mothers. Jane Parr, Bobby Dolezilek and Carl Farley visited their dentist in St. Marys and have returned their pink dental cards. We are becoming acquainted with spelling by having one easy spelling word a week. We have a Spelling Flight Chart on which our airplanes fly if we receive 100 on our words on Friday. We are happy to say all our airplanes are in the air. After Christmas we will have harder spelling lessons. All of us have finished our second pre-primer. Some of us will finish our third one this week. Larry Wehner told us of his first bus ride to Sabetha to visit his grandparents. His sisters, Helen and June, accompanied him. Steven Pardee, Dale Stiles, Bonnie Tuller, Rudy Bailey and Bobby Dolezilek were absent because of illness this six weeks. The next three weeks will find us very busy getting ready for our Christmas program, for our mothers, making gifts, decorating our room for Christmas and writing our letters to Santa Claus. We all enjoyed our Thanksgiving vacation. Some of us stayed home and had family dinners. Others journeyed quite a distance to spend the day. Aex Sieck was in Council Bluffs, Iowa, visiting his Grandmother and Grandfather Sieck over the holidays. June Murray accompanied her parents and sister to Kearney, Nebraska, Thanksgiving Day, where she spent the week end with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. L.W. Murray and Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Deaver.

Amy Jones, Charles Meade, Carolyn Farley and Connie Bahner have returned their pink dental cards since our last news. We hope to have our Christmas decorations up very soon as our room looks so bare with our turkeys and other Thanksgiving decorations gone. The First and Second Grades have started working on a Christmas program to be given before vacation. You will be hearing more about it, so plan to come. THIRD GRADE The boys and girls in the Third Grade came back from vacation with many exciting stories to tell about their vacations. Many of them took trips or had company visiting them for Thanksgiving. The “Spelling Speedway” contest closed the last day before vacation with Linda Simecka’s race car coming in first. She hasn’t missed a spelling word since school started. Finishing close behind Linda were Douglas Kelsey and Myrna Perry. They both missed getting 100 only once. The race starts again with the start of the new six weeks period and everyone plans to move his car faster this time. We had two birthdays in the Third Grade this month; Marilyn Simpson and Pat Royal. They both treated the class with candy bars. Again it is time for grade cards and there are still 19 Third Graders who haven’t missed a day of school. The honor students for this six weeks are Jimmie Fauerbach, Da Gee, Douglas Kelsey, Myrna Perry, Marilyn Simpson, Lillian Reser, Donna Tuller, and Connie Zeller. We are now starting to work on Christmas decorations and are all looking forward to the visit from Santa Claus. FOURTH GRADE In checking our clean plate chart we find that of those eating at school regularly Judy McCollough, Bobby Stach, Jean Stiles and June Wehner have had clean plates since we started keeping the record in September. Many of the children spent Thanksgiving away from home. Richard VanVleck in going to Arkansas traveled the farthest distance. All or most of the others had company come to their house. FIFTH GRADE [notated from here forward is from December 9, 1954] Christmas spirit is showing itself in all the rooms. The fifth grade have been assigned to their parts for the assembly program which will be coming in the future. Further information as to time and date will be announced later. In the fifth grade, we’ve been working long division and some division in fractions. Improper fractions are still giving trouble to some. In English, we are building sentences and learning the different kinds of sentences. We have about 90% of the class this six weeks with an A average in spelling. Phonics and lots of practice are helping our spelling. We had a birthday in our room last week. We wish Buddy Mogus many more Happy Birthdays. Our Safety Motto is – Stop! Look! And Live! Maxim: Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius. SIXTH GRADE The boys and girls in our room were very sorry to hear that Mr. Baker had to be hospitalized. We are studying hard and trying to do just what he would want us to do during his absence. We are very glad Mrs. McClellan is helping us, but we will be happy to have Mr. Baker back again. Mr. Baker had our room decorations for Christmas planned and nearly prepared before the Thanksgiving Holidays. We put up his decorations and fixed the room just the way we thought he would want it. We hope he can see it soon. We wrote letters to Mr. Baker for our English assignment Monday, December 6. Our reading class has continued our study of phonetic sounds. We have been studying prefixes and suffixes. Each student is keeping a list of words in his note book. Wanda Harmon and her parents spent Saturday in Topeka. J.W. Adams visited his Oculist Saturday and was glad to find that he had no ill effect from an eye injury received last summer. J.W. Adams and his father have completed an outdoor Christmas scene for their home. Gene and Dean Davis had a busy weekend. They helped their father repair the pony pen. They assisted their mother with some house work, and last but not least, enjoyed a visit from their grandmother, Mrs. E.P. Bahner. Wayne Miller reports that his parents have moved into the Bailey home and they are now comfortably settled. Curtis Berkey helped his father build fences and feed-troughs this weekend. Sally Nadeau attended the 4-H Achievement party in Topeka last Saturday. Don Rogers and his mother did their Christmas decorating last weekend. In the Spelling Contest for our grade the scores for last week’s total ran as follows: “Yankees” 100%, “Termites” 95% and “Indians” 96%. Mr. Baker will be happy to know that our room again has the highest percent in church attendance. We are very pleased about it, too. All of us are counting the days until Christmas – Are they sure the days before Christmas are the shortest – They seem like the longest days to us.

Title A name given to the resource Lena Reding's Retirement from Rossville Library, 1986, Rossville, Kansas Description An account of the resource [caption] MRS. LENA REDING visited with a friend at a reception in her honor. Photo by Belinda Driscoll As I Look Back by Lena Reding Fifteen years ago on April 8, 1971, I became librarian at the Rossville Community Library. I was approached by Gerald Reser, who was president of the Board, asking it I would consider the position. I said, “I have no college hours in library science; all my college hours are in elementary teaching, which I have done for the last 29 years.” “No problem,” he said, “pick up three hours if you so wish,” which I did. Gerald painted a beautiful picture — really not much to do, check out books, put them away, order books, type, file, clean, etc. Thinking all the while he was talking, I asked, “What do you pay for this Jack-of-all-trades?” When he replied $1.25 an hour, I said, “Forget it.” Two days later he came back and said the board decided to give me $2.00 an hour if I would accept. I did. We were open four days a week, three hours a day. We are now open six days a week, four hours a day. ' These 15 years have been happy, enjoyable years, due to the cooperation and interest of all past and present board members who are: Gerald Reser, president; Marie Sullivan, treasurer; Ruth Hesse, secretary; Fern Rogers, representative; Larry Anderson, member; and, of course, all our patrons. We (my daughter, Mary Mayer, who has been here nearly three years) try very hard to meet the needs of our patrons. Rossville Community Library is a Township Library. It is also a member of the Northeast Kansas Library System under the leadership of director Glen Plaisted and assistant director and consultant, Lois Adriance. (These are the ones we rely on when advice or help is needed.) Words cannot express my appreciation for the honor given me by the Board. I feel I do not deserve this. Now that I am semi-retired, hopefully I can do some things I enjoy doing — vacation in the Rockies, fishing, Royals ball games at Kansas City, card games/etc. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource St. Marys Star, St. Marys, Kansas Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Rossville Community Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource May 13, 1986 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource This work is copyrighted; the copyright holder has granted permission for this item to be used by the Rossville Community Library.
