These questions might have seemed trivial but a new organization was formed which thrived on answering such queries. This activity might have seemed uninteresting especial¬ ly after a day of school. Howev¬ er, the team members of the Tidewater Challenge Team seemed to enjoy this activity. The team competed against forty-seven other schools, both private and public, from the Eastern Coast of Virginia. The show was sponsored by WHRO, Channel 15. The contests were taped on Fridays and later aired on Monday nights at 8pm. Questions were asked from the areas of history, music, math, literature, and sports. The team consisted of four members, captain Gary Cub- bage, Lisa Perrson, Laura Yannereila, and Joe Marek, and three alternates, Alicia Everett, Susan Helms, and Carol Yannereila. Mrs. Shir¬ ley McCracken took the re¬ sponsibility of sponsoring the team. To prepare for the grueling questions at the taping, prac¬ tices were set up after school in the cafeteria. Students, and sometimes teachers, chal¬ lenged the four whiz kids. When the teachers challenged the team, however, competition was fierce. On those occasions the teachers emerged from the matches victorious. Tidewater Challenge Team — 27
