OPEN HOUSE DAY AT HOLY ANGELS On Tuesday, October 18 (1977 10 18), Holy Angels School held a successful Open House Day. The purpose of the day was to let the parents and members of the community observe an ordinary teaching day. They were able to see several Phys. Ed. classes in action and be surprised at the students proficiency in French. Some former students of Holy Angels School who now have children of their own in school, had quite a laugh at themselves when looking over old photograph albums. Approximately 125 people visited the school and judging by comments made, all enjoyed themselves and found it a profitable exper- ience. Coffee was available throughout the day. Another Open House Day is planned for the Spring. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those parents and friends who took the time to visit our school.
