It was sooo much fun. =] That was the first year the Battle of the Books was held for the Chicago Public Schools, or at least that's what they told us. I had no idea it was started in the 30s! My school won 2nd place in the 7th-8th grade team the next year also! =D I think the Battle of the Books is a great program, and that more students should be involved. Most students think that reading is stupid, boring, and pointless, but it really isn't. It's a fun way to get away from your own life and "see" different things. Once our team won the first time, I noticed that less and less of Clissold's students were saying those things. =] I am now attending Whitney M. Young High School and am a bit disappointed that they are not included in the high school competition, but they do have book clubs!<BR/><BR/>-IngridAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015606539547345410.post-63564385761875605882008-04-28T18:15:00.000-05:002008-04-28T18:15:00.000-05:00Deja, Thanks for clearing up who was in the tie ro...Deja, <BR/><BR/>Thanks for clearing up who was in the tie round.
