This is the end of the year Nerd Quiz.  “I’m not a nerd” you say.  However, answering these questions could be beneficial for you, so hear me out.  Either print out the quiz or just write it out on a piece of paper.  Try to answer all of the questions.  You may be able to Google some of the answers, but most of them won’t come up, so you need background knowledge or another information source.  Give your completed quizzes (both parts) to Mr. Kocur (room 168) by Friday, May 13th.  Quizzes with the most answers correct will pass on to the next round.  Of these quizzes, a winner will be randomly selected and win a prize of a large bag of candy upon request.

            There are hints next to each question; they won’t be very helpful.  Good luck.

“I feel pressure- you have to live up to a 40 year show” said Lenise Murphy, a sophomore performer.. She was talking about tonight which is the first night of Seussical, the last Schenley musical. Catherine Brown, a member of the show, is having very mixed emotions about tonight. Being nervous, excited and even sad because of how much fun the musical was. Ash Lanith and Keyanna Taylor-Thomas are like Catherine, both are nervous and excited about tonight. Connor Doubt and Alaura Williams are excited and ready to perform. Gabe Perez is excited and thinks that the show will be a great success. Mr. Dennlinger called the show bittersweet because if mixed emotions about the end of Schenley musicals. Tonight is opening night and there will also be shows the 29th, 30th, May 5th, 6th and 7th. Tickets are only $7. It’s a sure fact that the members of the musical are ready, in fact, Catherine Brown is “Ready for the magic to take over.”
