ANNOUNCEMENTS:
President Michael asked the high school students a few questions and handed out prizes. The questions were:
- 19th Century literature. “Call me Ishmael” is the first line of what book? It’s Moby Dick, but it was only answered when I said it was about a whale.
- I asked What 2020 documentary was about big cat breeding and eccentric zoo operator. They got it right when they said, “Tiger King”.
- What artist released the album, “Renaissance” in 2022? They got it right away for Beyonce.
- I also asked what’s the name of the 2023 movie starring Margo Robbie as an iconic doll and Ryan Gosling as Ken. They smashed it with “Barbie”.
