The Quiz
Before the quiz started everyone
was on pins and needles because
they were afraid they would be
chosen. AS Professor Quiz, alias
Mr.. Rasmussen-came on the stage
with the question box under his
arm everyone became quiet. Pro-
fessor Quiz then spoke the waited
for words. Row thirteen! One girl
in a midst Of boys. The contes-
tants were as follows: Richard Mel
son, Myron johnson, George Mid
dendorf, Clyde Sykes, McClore
Ortiz, Phyllis Neal, Judy Conkey,
Richard Hedin and Richard Nelson.
The first contestant, Richard Mel
son, got part of the question right
and got seven points. Myron John
son, the second contestant, got his
question right and got a score of
ten points. Oh, oh, George hidden
dorf went down swinging on the
question, What is the continental
divide" McGlore Orth got an easy
question but I guess his geography
failed him a bit because he only
got four points. Phyllis Neal had
some difficulty with Columbus and
his early explorations. Name five
National Parks" Judy Conkey got
two but the rest slipped his mind.
Minnesota means Land of the sky
blue water" so Richard Hedin got
ten points.
The next part of the quiz was
musical. Miss Krog played a num-
Der of songs and the contestants
guessed the names Of them. All
but three of the contestants got
1000.
The next part was just questions.
Myron Johnson was the only con-
testant who got 1000 on this part.
Professor Quiz started pulling
tricks out of his box, and many of
the contestants were stumped. ]
don't blame them because some
were certainly tricky. If you

to pay for it by doing some for

The final score-Myron johnson,

ond. Richard Nelson was third.
