College Bowl Provides
Pattern For High
Originally the High IQ Bowl was the idea of the Special
Programs division of the “US” Program Committee. It was to
be patterned after the “College Bowl” on television, all the
way to the “scholarships” to be given to each winner.
In the preUminarys, the different schools battled for the
privilege to continue the campetition, the Grimsley team fought
with a valor that shows that they do have quite a few brains.
Grimsley stayed in the compe-
tition up to the next to the last
round then we were a beaten
team. It was between High Point
Central and Curry High School
of Greensboro.
At the very first, many of the
teams drew byes and they remain
ed in the general assembly room
imtil their turn came up. After
the first eliminations, all the peo
ple behind the High IQ Bowl be
gan to have a very good feeling
of success.
If one could have seen behind
the scenes, problems they would
understand. The committee had to
start with acquiring a sponsor,
which Miss Joanne Taylor ar
ranged for through her “connec
tions.” Then came a procession
of planning meetings.
First the committee had to se
lect an adult judge and an adult
moderator, then the scorers and
messengers who came from the
Youth Council on Civic Affairs.
The final and official scores
from each round, were recorded
on the score cards, signed by the
judge, moderator, and scorer. Then
the score cards were given to the
mesenger who took them to the
general assembly room, where
the tallies were recorded.
When all the competing teams
came back to the assembly hall,
certificates of merit were award
ed to the losing brain busters.
As far as the YCCA is concem-
The High IQ Bowl was a great
success, but the real reward was
the enthusiasm of the entrants
and their suggestions to make
this a yearly competition.
