Class pride takes a shot at trivia competition
How many textbooks can you bench-press? Actually, it’s mental bench-pressing. In Student Academics’ first ever Quiz Bowl on April 28, four participants will compete against each other in a game of knowledge on the four academic subjects and other miscellaneous information. The idea was pitched by Student Academic officer sophomore Michael Whittaker in the beginning of the year and is one of the events to liven up students’ school life.
"We finally decided to see how the student body reacts to [Quiz Bowl] and to see if it’ll be a tradition that [Student Academic] can continue," officer senior Yasmine Kotturi said.
However, promotion has not been going well because of the rain, which washed away many of their posters, and STAR testing week, when announcements that could have helped with promotion.
"[Quiz Bowl] is circulating," Kotturi said. "But’s its not where we’d like to be."
Nevertheless, the event is still forging on, and we’ll soon see students’ mentally dueling it out with teachers.
