of competition.
THE ICON’S WERE HERE
BY DAVID HESSELS
On March 20, 16 ICON compu
ters came to our school. The first
day Mrs. Marie Parsons explained
how to use the computers to
students and teachers. Then Mr.
Marsh took over!
Eachclass had their own time
each day of the week.
These computers have been
brought by the Huron County
School Board and are touring the
county’s schools. On Friday they
left our school and went to the next
school.
The ICON computers are much
better than the school’s comput
ers. ICON’S have a built in roller
that works as a mouse or a joystick
and all sixteen computers work on
two disc drives.
Parents were in during the week
tousethecomputers. We would
like to thank Mr. Marsh for
spendingso much time with the
students as well as returning each
night all week to demonstrate their
use to parents.
AWESOME ART
BY KEVIN SOUCH
On Monday, March 23, Mrs. D.
Graham, the art consultant for the
Huron County Board of Education,
came to Blyth Public School to
demonstrate to the grade 7 and 8
classes some new art techniques.
She did such things as drawing
three dimensional sketches of a
box. She also showed the students
how to draw scenes with
disappearing point. 1 he students
thought she was “awesome” and
her drawings were “out of sight”.

Tammi Medd of Blyth was the overall winner at the Blyth Public School
Science Fair last week with her carefully-researched project on
“Spiderland”. Planning ahead, Tammi had to collect her spiders last
fall, knowing they would not be up and about when she needed them
for the exhibit. Tammi will now take her spiders to compete in the
county Science Fair in Clinton on April 10.
