This pro- gram enables the students to try out the work field before they graduate. Joy hopes to be a secretary and does secretarial work around the school. Some of her duties in- clude: helping Mrs. Kolkman, answering the telephone, typing, filing, record keeping and running off papers on the photocopier. Joy is a big help around the school and we're lucky to have her here. Life by Tammi Medd Life is like a flower though sometimes it dies, Our souls are like the petals receiving love from the skies. Our hearts are like a plate of glass they often get shattered, But they usually are mended when we have been flattered. Sometimes our feelings are hurt, but deep down inside, We've forgiven that person and follow our guide, Our guide being the Lord who created us all, He lifts us up whenever we fall. He leads us all through the darkest days. When the world has been covered with a thick haze, You shall see your way through and life shall be cherished forever. Tykes win at home By Kathy Bromley Last Saturday morning the Blyth Tykes lasted Huron Park for an exciting game. With the goals teeter tottering ,back and forth, Blyth made that one last one that decided it all and came out ahead of Huron Park 6-5. Scoring for Blyth were: Jeff Cowan, assisted by Micheal Haggitt; Darryl Bromley, assisted by Jason Badley; Ronnie Abell-Rinn, assisted by Jeff Ferguson; Jeff Cowan, assisted by Shane Burkholder; Shane Burkholder, assisted by Darryl Bromley and Jeff Fergt son, assisted by Shane Burkholder. Playing in the net for the game was Michael Courtney. Hensall for a make-up game and came • home with a defeat of 5-1, even though Corey Shannan played excellent in net. Without Corey being so alert, the score would have been much greater. This Saturday, the boys travel to Bayfield to play at 9 a.m. Novice "B" Due to conditions beyond their control, the Novice "B" game vs Huron Park was cancelled on Saturday. This game will be made up for at a later date. This Saturday they host Zurich for an 11 a.m. game. More spectators are urged to come„out and support all of the teams in Blyth Hockey. It would be appreciated. A schedule is at the arena to see when games are to be held. Lost Heir results Last Wednesday evening there were eight tables out for a game of Lost Heir. Rita Blake was the high lady while Harvey McDowell was the high man. Edger Howatt and Zora Cook were the low scorers of the evening. Next Wednesday evening, December 10, is the last evening for Lost Heir before the Christmas holidays, so come out and have fun. I will keep you informed when it is to be resumed.
