Seniors 'Buzz In' Fourth

    "What is..." "This isn't Jeopardy?" "But what about those flashing red and yellow buzzers?"
    St. Mary's sent four seniors to the third annual Elgin Pope John Quiz Bowl on March 26. Monica Gallagher, Kathleen Hayes, Shawn Moss, and Rick Pongratz answered various questions from a vast array of areas such as Advanced Math, Algebra, Biology, Geometry, Geography, English, History, Music, Physics, Psychology, and Spelling.
    Starting out in the lead, St. Mary's had a 45 to 25 win over Stanton and a 50 to 10 victory over Clearwater. The third match was lost 32 to 25 to Pope John. The foursome said their "Jeopardy" buzzers interfered with the last two table-slapping victories. Victory was at hand with a narrow win, 30 to 25, over Ewing. In the final round for 3rd and 4th place, St. Mary's lost to Madison. The meet was comprised of 16 teams, and St. Mary's was proud to have placed fourth.
