Historic Sites of Manitoba: Bru School No. 368 (RM of Argyle)The Bru School District was established formally in June 1885, with a schoolhouse erected in the southeast quarter of 16-6-13 west of the Principal Meridian, in the Rural Municipality of Argyle. It operated at this location until 1897 when it moved to SW11-6-13W, staying there until 1921 when it relocated to NW11-6-13W. The school closed in 1959 and its students went to Cypress River Consolidated School No. 2357 or St. Alphonse Consolidated School No. 2371. A monument was dedicated at the former site of the school on 6 July 1985. Among the teachers of Thor School was Hansena Gudny “Sena” Gunnlaugson.
