    This photo,  taken about 1951-54, is of the Rawling's Hy-Klas grocery store and Hurley's Sundries on the west side of Main Street.     In the early 1960s, Hurley's store became Klesath's Drug Store.   John Hurley had the local funeral home in Rossville on East Perry,  and also had a used car lot at the corner of Main St. and US 24.  He was the father of Roger and Linda Hurley.
    The Rawlings grocery store was once known as "the pint-sized super market" and was later sold to the Channel family which ran it for a number of years.
    The Wehner hardware store occupies both of these buildings now.

Dawgs Rout Indians 61-7

    The Dawgs got off to a slow start,  but poured it on in the 2nd quarter enroute to a 61-7 win over the Osage City Indians.  The Dawgs received the kick-off,  but a line drive bounced off one of the linemen and was recovered by the Indians.  The Dawgs second possession ended when a pass was tipped by the receiver and ended up in the defenders hands further downfield.   The Dawgs  scored on the next possession and then added 5 TDs in the second quarter.
    Defensive lineman Gabe Marney intercepted a pass to score from around 35 yards out.  Tucker Horak carried 6 times for 103 yards and 2 TDs.  Six different Dawgs scored TDs
