Homer’s First Trivia Night
Marleah Dentes
Homer’s first trivia night, put on by Student Government, was a well-attended and entertaining event!
Many Student Government members spent several weeks making questions and organizing the game. The categories included memes/Internet culture, movies/TV, academics, music, and miscellaneous. The memes/Internet culture category was the most popular amongst the contestants by far.
The event was held in the school library and festive decorations were hung. The panel of Student Government members went down the line and asked a question from each category. Each team had thirty seconds to answer on whiteboards and received ten points for a correct answer. In the last fifteen minutes, the teams had twenty seconds for questions worth twenty points. There was an intermission at 8 pm so that the teams could take a break and enjoy lots of food and music.
The six teams who participated were the F’Art Party, The Makeshift Ukuladies, SADD, The Olympians, Team One, and The Bean Team. The F’Art Party won, but all of the groups proved to be very knowledgeable in all the subjects.
The most important aspect of the night was its charitable cause: all of the proceeds made were given to a charity of the winners’ choice. Student Government also matched that amount and added it to the donation.
