NEW PRINCIPAL ENJOYS B.P.S.
by Brian Mac han and Sarah Rouw
Mr. Sygrove, our new Principal,
was born in Sarnia, Ontario. Later
he received his education at Wes
tern. He always has enjoyed school
and likes working with children. He
has taught at Victoria School in
Goderich, Holmesville, Brookside,
Walton and Seaforth before moving
on to B.P.S.
Mr. Sygrove enjoys teaching and
watching students improve their
skills and mature. He thinks that
you should get as much education
as possible. You should never stop
trying to learn.
He says, Blyth is great and really
enjoys it. The students and parents
are receptive and the staff has been
supportive too. Mr. Sygrove’s wife
is also a teacher. She teaches at
Colbome school. He has two
daughters. One is in grade 8 and
one is in grade 9. He likes sports,
such as softball. He plays the

Goderich where he and his family
live.

UP AND OUT
by Tina Burkholder and Erica Clark
On Wednesday, September 27,
Constable Marshall came to Blyth
P.S. to teach the grade seven and
eight students about Bus Evacua
tion Safety. The grade seven’s
were done first. A bus was parked
outside the school and the students
got on the bus.
First, Constable Marshall told us
what to do if the bus driver became
unconscious. Next he showed us
how to evacuate out the emergency
door at the back of the bus and to
get the little children out safely and
keep them out. After this we went
back into the bus and Constable
Marshall told us how to get out the
window and also how to take the
unconscious bus driver through the
window too. Then the grade sevens
returned to class and Constable
Marshall showed the grade eights
the same thing.

Evalena Webster introduced the
new study book. She chose “Cana
da’s Cultural Mosaic” as her topic
saying Canada is now made up of
many people from many countries
and this brings in many cultures.
This brings much racial intoler
ance, socially and legally. The
Aborigines were here first, and
even among the Indians there is
great diversity of culture. The
French and English came and their
culture flourished. Later the Scott
ish then the Irish, especially during
the potato famine. Most were
Catholic and were not made too
welcome but they did supply a good
labor force. It was harder to settle
the prairies, as many opted to
settle in the cities. Several times
Canada closed its immigration
doors and often husbands couldn’t
bring out their wives. Canada now
has immigrants from almost every
race and has become more tolerant
and more compassionate but it is
becoming a hard nation to govern.
Bea Chambers, co-leader took
over for the business part of the
meeting, opening with a reading
entitled “Help yourself to Happi
ness”. Feme McDowell read the
minutes of the last meeting. Roll
call was answered by either the
word believe or hear.
