by Apaar school

by Apgar school
APGAR-Study group met at Ap-
gar school Monday evening. We were
to have pink and blue shower for
Mrs. Bob Fleming. At the last min.
ute we discovered that our guest
OF honor had been taken to Kalispell
hospital. Her mother, Mrs. Daisy
Phillips came over and opened the
shower gifts. Before the group dis.
banded, proud father Bob Fleming
got back from Kalispell. We all
crowded to the door of the school
to hear the good news: John Charles
Fleming, weight, pounds, four and
a half ounces; length, 10 inches,
Dec. IL, 1881 p. m. Bob is camera
fan and he got back with two pic
lures of the new baby taken when
baby Charles was about an hour old
We feel this is real Christmas time
news-a new baby in Apgar.
Article for discussion by the group
was "A Report on Report Cards" by
Bess Goodykoontz, read by Agnes
Sunell. Lots of discussion followed
Final decision was that report cards
in District 6 are on the whole pretty
good ones. The SIS and U's have
never been popular but S plus anc
S minus help the situation. Parent
teacher conference in Apgar are ap.
proved, as are guidance folders.
A lovely lunch was served by hos
tesses, Dorothy Brewster, Heller
FlOren, Agnes and Bea Washburn.
