This is how West Park School, now Hazel M. Kellington elementary school (HMK),  looked around 1965. At recess, kids used to play dodgeball on the pavement, next to the windows on the left hand side of this picture. Rick Sparling’s recent series about growing up in Neepawa during the 1950s and 1960s features some stories that took place at this school.
