What was the first American novel to sell one million copies?
"Uncle Tom's Cabin."
Life is most abundant in which atmospheric layer?
Why, the troposphere, of course.
Who was the first African-American woman to win at Wimbledon?
No, not Venus Williams. It was Althea Gibson.
Answering trivia questions like these correctly earned the team from Warsaw Community High School, sponsored by Reinholt's Town Square Furniture, a trophy in Tuesday's Quiz Bowl, an annual fund-raiser for the Warsaw Community Foundation for Public Education Inc.
Tied for second place were R.R. Donnelley and Sons and Zimmer, and taking third place was the group from Grossnickle Eye Center Inc.
Approximately 26 teams tested their trove of trivia facts and figures while having fun raising money for the WCFPE. Some teams even brought along their own mascots or cheering sections.
The Foundation was organized in 1987 to provide funding for Warsaw Community Schools programs that are not included in the school system's regular budget. Each year, said Dan Pacheco, president of the board of directors, the Foundation gives out $10,000 in grants and helps with such events as the chess tournament, the EdComm Expo and the annual dinner honoring Warsaw Community High School scholars.
Tuesday's Quiz Bowl, held in the WCHS Career Center gym, raised more than $4,000 for the Foundation. Harvey Miller, retired general manager of WRSW radio, was the emcee. [[In-content Ad]]
