GRADE 8’S TRIP TO
STRATFORD
by Tina Burkholder and
Kerry Hallahan
On October 4, the grade 8 class
of Blyth P.S. went to Stratford to
see the play “Julius Caesar’’. We
left the school at 7:45 a.m. and
headed to Stratford. Mrs. Hulley
and Mrs. Cronin were our chaper
ones.
We arrived in Stratford at 8:45
a.m. and proceeded to the Festival
Theatre to go on a tour of the stage,
props department, wardrobe de
partment and the “Underworld’’
where the actors and actresses wait
for their cues. We then went to the
Donut Mill for a snack and then
headed to the warehouse where all
the costumes, props, furniture,
jewellery, etc. are stored. After the
tour was over, the students had the
chance to try some of the costumes
on. Next on the agenda was
McDonald’s for lunch.
fi^After lunch we headed back to
'k. Festival Theatre and went for a
walk around the grounds. At 2:00
p.m. we went into the theatre,
found our seats and watched the
performance of “Julius Caesar”.
The performance took 2*/j hours
including a 15 minute intermission.
We enjoyed the play very much
and we would like to thank Mrs.
Hulley, Mrs. Cronin and Mr.
Sygrove for making it possible for
us to see it.
We arrived home at 5:45 p.m.
tired, and sleepy but with a day to
remember.
RECYCLING PLANTS
by Shane Burkholder and
Craig Empey
At the school Grade 5 and 6
students and their teachers are
recycling plants. They are digging
the plants up that they planted last
spring and are putting them in pots
so they don’t die in the winter. The
Grade 5 and 6 students are
watering them and taking care of
them.
The students will be planting
them back in the flower beds in the
spring. Also the grade 7 and 8’s
have transplanted five white spruce
to a place where they will have
more room to grow. If the weather
conditions are right, they will grow
and add shade to the new addition.
MAY WE HAVE THE
,-jk ENVELOPE PLEASE?
by Courtney Sauve, Rhonda
Gibbons and Kathy Fraser
On September 28 some of the
Blyth students started their cam
paigns for this year’s student
council election. They handed out
campaign cards and hung up
posters. The people who were
running for President were Charla
Richmond, Susannah Siegers and
April Bromley. Julie McNichol and
Jill Jenkins ran for Vice President.
Marie Cronyn, Chad Haggitt and
Kathy Fraser ran for Secretary.
Courtney Sauve, Erica Clark and
Joe Fraser ran for treasurer.
On October 1, Blyth Public
School had an assembly to start the
fundraiser off and after that the 11
contestants said a few words to the
students about what they plan to do
in office. Back in the classrooms we
had the elections. Our 90/91 school
council is President - April Brom
ley, Vice President - Julie McNi
chol, Secretary - Chad Haggitt, and
Treasurer - Erica Clark. I hope all
the students at B.P.S. are happy
with this years students’ council.

thank you to Les Caldwell and
Bonnie Shannon for organizing the
event.
The sermon was entitled
“Thanksgiving, Passport to Heav
en”. Rev. Pickell’s message cen
tred on the importance of giving
thanks. He quoted Paul’s advice in
Thessalonians: “In everything you
do give thanks, for this is the will of
God in Christ Jesus”. To ensure
happiness and success, we should
follow the road of the grateful
heart.
He said we should avoid com
plaining and if we would only take
time to consider we would discover
that our blessings far outnumber
our discouragements. Even when
we have disasters in our life, if we
continue to give thanks in so doing
they will turn into blessings. God
has done so much for us and all He
expects of us is faith, acceptance
and obedience.
In closing, Rev. Pickell reminded
everyone of how much they all have
to declare and challenged them to
give thanks not just with their lips
but also with their lives.
Following the message, com
munion service was observed with
the most money. Door prizes and
prizes for games and races will be
given out during the day.
The Clubs hope this venture will
be a major money-raising event to
pay off the remaining expense of
the new flooring at the arena. The
rest of the money raised will be
divided between the Clubs to cover
costs of ice time, pros fees,
equipment and referees, etc.
For a day of fun and excitement
come to the Blyth Arena on October
27.
