Dollars, puppets, quiz bowl provide bicentennial tribute New money began circulating in Co- lumbus and the rest of the nation in May when the banks began dis- tributing bicentennial two dollar bills. Citizens who purchased the bills on the first day of their existence had them cancelled for future proof that they were uncirculated. The bills were brought back into use because the gov- ernment could no longer afford to print only one dollar bills at the current in- flationary rate. Two dollar bills cut pro- duction costs in half. Area merchants had difficulties adjusting to the new bills because their cash drawers only al- lotted space for four types of bills, and the two dollar bill wasn’t one of them. The Heiken puppets entertained chil- dren as well as adults with their perfor- mance of Thirteen Stars” in the Red Room of the Cleo Rogers Memorial Li- brary. The Show featured historical events of the United States’ last 200 years. Damon Jones, senior; Debbie Grant junior; David Hoffman, junior; and team captain Karin Timour, senior, combined their historical knowledge to win the Bicentennial Quiz Bowl defeat- ing teams from Columbus North and Hauser. State Senator Robert Garton questioned the contestants over the past 200 years of our country, state, and county. The Bartholomew County Bicentennial Commission, Tri-County Underwriters Association, and the three high schools sponsored the com- petition. The East team won the event with a score of 690 over North’s 440 and Hauser’s 260.
