Knowledge Bowl Begins
by Michele Kirk
The RHS Knowledge Bowl Team
is off to a great start for the '03-'04 school year. It's made up of
nine members: Andrew Merschel, Tyler Hague, Faith Kreskey, Leo Castaneda,
Alison Law, Carter DuVal, Lydia Tollefson, Russ Johnson, and Pat Harris.
During their first meet Faith Kreskey was the top scorer with a total of
190 points. Tyler Hague was next with 110. After beating rival Marshfield, senior Leo
Castaneda commented, "What I love about Knowledge Bowl is beating a school
five times our size!" Knowledge Bowl is the only activity in
which Reedsport plays 4A Marshfield.
Knowledge Bowl matches begin by asking a toss-up question
worth 10 points in one of the 8 categories: Geography, Math, Science, History,
Literature, Fine Arts, Sports, or General Trivia. The team that answers
the toss-up question correctly has a chance to answer a bonus question
worth 20-30 points. Bonus questions usually have different parts to
them; questions with more parts generally have more points.
At each meet, four to five schools play in a round robin tournment, with the exception for the April 28th match at Reedsport. Replacing the Far West League tournament, this meet is double elimination and includes all the teams from surrounding schools. The RHS Knowledge Bowl schedule is shown below.

Career Awareness
Career awareness is vital for people hoping to get a good job in the future. High schoolers are impressionable people; by giving them a chance to venture out into a business and to ask questiones, they can succeed.
On February 12th, sophomores selected a business from a list of about 12. These businesses varied from forestry, accounting, and the police force to hair and nail care.
The sophomores were dismissed from their second period classes at 9:30 and were brought to their chosen location. There they asked questions, looked around, and got to see what goes into each individual job. They left these businesses and returned to the High School at 11:10.
This is a rewarding experience and a great way for kids to be more aware of what their desired job field requires. The day was sponsored by School-to-Work and Rotary Club.
