Set on a cold winters day after a blizzard, the panel shows modern '70s' children going to school, together with their Victorian counterparts. The headmaster ringing the school bell to call everyone in to school. During Victorian times, and the early part of the 20th century the children of the district would walk to school from outlying farms. Many generations of the same family attended the school.
