History Quiz by Paul Fielding

Logan Park Triumphs in History Quiz

The second Otago University History Department senior secondary school quiz was held on Monday night August 17th at the Student Union. Twenty teams represented their schools in answering a wide range of historically interesting questions ranging from Black Civil Rights to assassinations. 

Some rounds were incredibly difficult but triumphing at the end was the Year 11 LPHS team of Cameron Bayne, Max Riddle and Ben Clayton. This team of three beat more senior teams with ease and confirmed their status, as last year they won the Year 9/10 Extra Social Studies Quiz, and Classics quiz. 

The team could go on and win this prestigious quiz for the next three years in a row. The boys each won a University Book shop voucher and books. Our other teams also performed creditably with a fourth, sixth and eight placing.
