Sophomores win again!


by Beatrice Grygo - Newspeak Staff

The Sophomores won the Jeopardy Game on Thursday night in Riley Commons, one of many events of Traditions Day at WPI. As a part of the annual Freshman - Sophomore rivalry, both teams had a chance to not only show their knowledge about WPI, but also to have a good time.

Questions ranged from WPI campus, history and traditions, sports and recreations, to WPI personalities. Both teams had a fairly good knowledge about the school. However, there were questions - as The longest punt in Tech football history was kicked from goal line to goal-line. Who kicked it? - that nobody could respond to. (The correct answer was Ray Forkey, '40.)

It seemed that most of the audience was in favor of the Sophomores. They were a little bit better, mainly because of their longer experience with WPI, and took the lead after the first round of the game. In the second part of the game, the Freshmen appeared not only to have more luck, but they seemed to have a better spirits throughout the rest of the game. Unfortunately for the Freshmen, the Sophomores were able to answer more questions correctly and won the game.

It is worth to mention the host of this year's Jeopardy Game - Rhett Brown. His great sense of humor and lively spirit made the game alive and entertaining. By creating a very relaxing atmosphere he made a good show out of what seemed to be a boring event at the very beginning.
