nostalgically recounting Rossburn School life from 1880s to mid 20th century. The column notes Mrs Winona Peden’s 1959 address, early teaching staff, a 35 dollar monthly salary, and a 1882 building serving as church and hall. It highlights lighthearted tales of schooldays and the enduring role of education in the community.

Other items cover a Lake of the Prairies pickerel catch near August end, a Boissevain post office facelift, a potential turtle parade float, a Roblin combine fire scare, and university architecture students shaping Neepawa downtown plans. A bear was destroyed after being chased up a tree in Shoal Lake and Dauphin, litter fines, and construction of the Ukrainian Heritage Park near Dauphin for the National Ukrainian Festival.
