Victor School Celebrates 125 Years

Victor One-Room School to celebrate its 125^th Birthday

This celebration will take place at “Old Prairie Town” at Ward-Meade Historical Park in Topeka on December 15^th, 2016 at Noon. Located at 124 N. Fillmore, Topeka, KS.

The school was originally built in 1891 in the Czech community NE of Rossville. It was located across the road from the Historic Moravan/Bohemian Hall in rural Shawnee County.

The school building was moved to its present location at Ward-Meade Historical Park in 1981, and is being preserved and used to give youngsters the opportunity to experience a one room school and get an idea of how their great-grandparents were educated.

Many school alumni will be present with many of their grandchildren to tell stories about their school days at Victor. Juanita Kendall (age 90) will read a short history of the school. A video interview taken with Sister Mary Kratina (age 92) will be one of the highlights of the celebration.

The names of all former students of Victor School will be on display.

The Rossville Elementary School 3^rd and 4^th graders with Principal Ann McCullough will be the honored guests and are excited to be a part of this celebration.

Also expected are Shawnee County and Topeka City Officials with Ward-Meade Personnel show casing the school.

Everyone is invited to attend this 125^th Birthday Party. It will bring back your happy memories to share of days spent in the school. This will also bring everyone up to date as to the state of the building as it proudly stands today on display at Ward-Meade Historical Park.

JACOB BRADSHAW

Rossville QB-CB

Bradshaw led Rossville to its third straight Class 3A championship with a 12-1 record and did so by posting some staggering offensive numbers. Bradshaw led Kansas in rushing with 2,734 yards this season to go along with 1,774 passing yards and 56 total touchdowns.

This was the first season for Bradshaw (6-foot, 180 pounds) to play quarterback after sitting behind Tucker Horak, who rushed for 2,859 yards and threw for 2,070 yards with 77 touchdowns last season. Trying to follow a season like that was no easy task, but Bradshaw was able to handle the pressure.

Bradshaw played his best games in the playoffs. In Rossville’s five playoff victories, Bradshaw finished with 1,206 rushing yards (241.2 average) and 672 passing yards with 19 touchdowns. He rushed for 281 yards and five touchdowns in a thrilling come-from-behind 48-42 victory over Hesston in double overtime in the Class 3A championship game.

Coach Derek Hammes: “We knew going into this season what his attributes were. He knew he was a smart player and he was athletic. When he gets in the open field, he can run away from people. What we didn’t know was about his experience and how he would handle things under pressure and make the reads that he needed to make in our offense. I had a pretty good indication he would be a good player for us, but I didn’t know he would be this good. The numbers are so difficult to wrap your head around with the numbers that position has put up for us the last few years.”
