APGAR-Little reddish tan Pom
eranian Trixie is all pulled up with
pride. She has two little new pup
pies. She had four but the two lar
ger ones were dead. Gilbert and
Mickie brought them over to school
in a box all wrapped up warm. Lit
tie Trixie came along too. The child
rem all sat very still while Mrs. Har-
rington lifted out the puppies and
showed them to us because Trixie
gets pretty excited when anyone
looks at her puppies. She barked and
painted but she didn't bite this time.
The puppies are so cute-one tan
nish and one black and white. We en-
loyed seeing them. They are very
little, about five inches long.
MR.. HUTcHINCS MISSED
Last Wednesday afternoon Apgar
school was dismissed so that Mrs.
Harrington could go to the funeral
OF Henry Hutchings. Mr.. Hutchings
was an old timer here in Apgar. He
lived at Apgar in one of the cabins
when he first came with Supt. Lo-
gan and then he and Mrs. Hutchings
lived at Fish creek for a number
of years. The first year there was a
school at Apgar they decided to have
Christmas program with Christ
mas party following. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hutchings were very much interest
ed in this. They selected songs and
ran them off for a community sing,
they helped lead in the Virginia Rec
and Mr.. Hutchings was the Santa
Claus, the first Santa in the first
school in Apgar. Later Mr.. Hutch
inSs was a board member in Dis
tr1ct 6. Having been teacher he
was always interested in schools and
children.
Study group met at Apgar school
Monday evening. Plans were made
for the Halloween party and com
mittees were appointed. Also dis
cussed were plans for getting new
screen and protector. Several years
ago the various communities went
together and raised money for new
screen and protector for the com
bined use of West Glacier and Ap
gar schools. We feel that each school
should have one so we want to gel
a screen and protector and relinquish
our share of the other one as there
are three teachers to use it at West
Glacier. Other plans were discussed
for the year. Following the meeting
delicious apple and mince pie ant
coffee were served by hostesses, Be-
WaShburn and Helen Floren. A BAG
rainy night outside but warm am
comfortable inside.
Half rain and half snow came t
Apgar, Sunday morning. There wa.
