Dear
Fellow
World
Quizzers,
In
the
beginning
of
the
quiz
year
was
memorizing,
and
our
memorizing
was
with
our
quiz
books,
and
our
memorizing
was
John.
Our
quiz
books
were
intact
in
the
beginning.
Through
studying
all
our
scores
were
made;
without
studying
nothing
was
scored
that
has
been
scored.
There
came
a
team
which
was
sent
from
Iowa;
their
name
was
Greater
Things.
But
some
said,
"Can
anything
good
come
from
Iowa?"
I
tell
you
the
truth,
you
shall
seen
greater
things
than
this.
During
one
quiz
our
coach
told
us,
"You
are
going
to
have
the
lead
just
a
little
while
longer.
Jump
while
you
have
the
lead,
before
Detroit
overtakes
you.
In
this
quiz
you
will
have
trouble,
but
take
heart!
We
might
overcome
World."
For
she
already
had
in
mind
who
was
going
to
win
the
quiz.
For
the
fact
is
we
have
had
5
error
outs,
and
the
one
we
had
just
had
was
not
our
last.
Then
we
began
to
argue
sharply
among
ourselves,
"Which
of
us
will
get
this
free
question?"
While
I
am
trying
to
jump,
someone
else
jumps
up
ahead
of
me.
My
teammates
questioned
me
saying,
"How
come
you
haven't
been
jumping?"
For
even
my
own
teammates
did
not
believe
in
me.
Therefore
I
told
them,
"The
right
time
for
me
has
not
yet
come."
For
them
any
time
to
jump
is
right,
but
I
prefer
to
jump
in
my
own
time.
Then,
on
the
last
and
greatest
day
of
the
Finals
I
can
stand
and
say
in
a
loud
voice,
"My
teammates
are
always
jumping
even
to
this
very
day,
and
I
too
am
jumping."
Many
quizzers
have
asked
us,
"Is
this
your
teammate
Dave?
Is
this
the
one
you
say
is
in
college?
How
is
it
that
he
can
still
quiz?"
To
this
we
replied,
"We
know
he
is
our
teammate,
and
we
know
he
is
in
college.
But
how
he
can
still
study,
or
what
he'll
do
after
he
retires,
we
don't
know.
Ask
him;
he
is
of
age.
He
will
speak
for
himself."
At
the
motel
this
morning,
my
sister
and
I
said,
"Our
friend
Evelyn
has
fallen
asleep,
but
we
are
going
to
wake
her
up."
Finally,
we
went
back
to
our
coach
and
the
others
who
asked
us,
"Why
didn't
you
bring
her
in?"
We
declared,
"No
one
ever
slept
the
way
this
girl
does!"
When
Elizabeth
jumped
on
a
finish
this
verse
question,
she
was
hurt
because
the
quizmaster
asked
her
a
third
time
"Can
you
give
it
to
me
again?"
She
said,
"I
have
told
you
already
and
you
did
not
accept
it.
Why
do
you
want
to
hear
it
again?"
Everyone
seems
to
think
that
I
and
my
sister
are
one,
but
I
tell
you
the
truth,
before
Amy
was
born,
I
was.
Yet
to
her
delight,
she
who
comes
after
me,
has
surpassed
me
because
she
jumped
before
me.
You
have
sent
to
my
sister,
and
she
has
testified
to
the
truth.
Not
that
I
always
accept
her
testimony,
but
I
mention
it
anyway.
If
you
have
seen
me,
you
have
seen
my
sister
also.
The
words
I
have
spoken
to
you
are
thought
perfect
but
there
are
some
of
you
who
do
not
believe
me.
However,
Dave
is
the
good
captain
who
lays
down
his
reputation
for
his
teammates
by
defending
our
strange
answers.
For
I
am
the
voice
of
one
quoting
in
desperation.
But
do
not
think
Dave
alone
will
accuse
you
before
the
quizmasters.
Your
accusers
are
also
the
other
team
captains,
on
whom
your
hopes
of
being
correct
are
dangerously
set.
For
they
say,
"Here
you
are
appearing
as
your
own
witness,
your
contest
is
not
valid."
I
am
going
home,
but
I
say
these
things
while
I
am
still
at
World.
My
prayer
is
not
that
we
are
taken
out
of
World,
but
that
you
fellow
quizzers
protect
my
teammates
from
Berrien.
Even
though
our
name
is
Cook,
they
are
not
of
Berrien,
even
as
I
am
not
of
it.
Though
we
have
been
speaking
as
quizzers,
a
time
is
coming
when
we
will
no
longer
speak
as
quizzers,
but
will
speak
plainly.
Our
coach
said
to
us,
"Fill
your
minds
with
John,"
so
we
filled
them
to
the
brim.
They
she
said,
"Now
draw
some
out
and
give
it
to
the
quizmaster."
I
did
so,
but
the
quizmaster
did
not
realize
where
I
was
coming
from.
Then
he
drew
the
scorekeeper
aside.
Finally
they
said,
"Do
you
have
a
reference?"
They
were
using
this
question
as
a
trap,
in
order
to
have
a
basis
for
accusing
me.
But
I
said,
"Why
question
me?
Ask
the
other
captains
who
heard
me.
Surely
they
know
what
I
said.
Stop
doubting
and
believe!"
At
this
some
wanted
to
seize
me,
but
no
one
laid
a
hand
on
me.
Then
they
remembered
that
I
had
said
"Zeal
for
the
finals
will
consume
me."
We
have
done
many
other
things
that
are
not
written
in
this
letter.
If
they
were,
I
suppose
even
quizzers
at
World
would
not
have
time
for
the
books
that
would
be
written.
Your
fellow
quizzers,
Elizabeth
and
Amy
Cook
P.S.
I
tell
you
the
truth,
a
time
is
coming
and
has
now
come,
when
all
who
are
in
their
seats
will
hear
the
question
and
jump
-
those
who
have
jumped
wisely
will
rise
to
quiz
out,
and
those
who
have
jumped
wildly
will
rise
to
error
out.
Come
now,
let
us
quiz.

thought
perfect
but
there
are
some
of
you
who
do
not

me.
However,
Dave
is
the
good
captain
who
lays
down
his
reputation
for
his
teammates
by
defending
our
strange

For
I
am
the
voice
of
one
quoting
in
desperation.
But
do
not
think
Dave
alone
will
accuse
you
before
the
quizmasters.
Your
accusers
are
also
the
other
team
captains,
on
whom
your
hopes
of
being
correct
are
dangerously
set.
For
they
say,
"Here
you
are
appearing
as
your
own
witness,
your
contest
is
not
valid."
I
am
going
home,
but
I
say
these
things
while
I
am
still
at
World.
My
prayer
is
not
that
we
are
taken
out
of
World,
but
that
you
fellow
quizzers
protect
my
teammates
from
Berrien.
Even
though
our
name
is
Cook,
they
are
not
of
Berrien,
even
as
I
am
not
of
it.
Though
we
have
been
speaking
as
quizzers,
a
time
is
coming
when
we
will
no
longer
speak
as
quizzers,
but
will
speak
plainly.
Our
coach
said
to
us,
"Fill
your
minds
with
John,"
so
we
filled
them
to
the
brim.
They
she
said,
"Now
draw
some
out
and
give
it
to
the
quizmaster."
I
did
so,
but
the
quizmaster
did
not
realize
where
I
was
coming
from.
Then
he
drew
the
scorekeeper
aside.
Finally
they
said,
"Do
you
have
a
reference?"
They
were
using
this
question
as
a
trap,
in
order
to
have
a
basis
for
accusing
me.
But
I
said,
"Why
question
me?
Ask
the
other
captains
who
heard
me.
Surely
they
know
what
I
said.
Stop
doubting
and
believe!"
At
this
some
wanted
to
seize
me,
but
no
one
laid
a
hand
on
me.
Then
they
remembered
that
I
had
said
"Zeal
for
the
finals
will
consume
me."
We
have
done
many
other
things
that
are
not
written
in
this
letter.
If
they
were,
I
suppose
even
quizzers
at
World
would
not
have
time
for
the
books
that
would
be
written.
Your
fellow
quizzers,
Elizabeth
and
Amy
Cook
P.S.
I
tell
you
the
truth,
a
time
is
coming
and
has
now
come,
when
all
who
are

their

will
hear
the
question
and
jump
-
those

Dear
Fellow
World
Quizzers,
In
the
beginning
of
the
quiz
year
was
memorizing,
and
our
memorizing
was
with
our
quiz
books,
and
our
memorizing
was
John.
Our
quiz
books
were
intact
in
the
beginning.
Through
studying
all
our
scores
were
made;
without
studying
nothing
was
scored
that
has
been
scored.
There
came
a
team
which
was
sent
from
Iowa;
their
name
was
Greater
Things.
But
some
said,
"Can
anything
good
come
from
Iowa?"
I
tell
you
the
truth,
you
shall
seen
greater
things
than
this.
During
one
quiz
our
coach
told
us,
"You
are
going
to
have
the
lead
just
a
little
while
longer.
Jump
while
you
have
the
lead,
before
Detroit
overtakes
you.
In
this
quiz
you
will
have
trouble,
but
take
heart!
We
might
overcome
World."
For
she
already
had
in
mind
who
was
going
to
win
the
quiz.
For
the
fact
is
we
have
had
5
error
outs,
and
the
one
we
had
just
had
was
not
our
last.
Then
we
began
to
argue
sharply
among
ourselves,
"Which
of
us
will
get
this
free
question?"
While
I
am
trying
to
jump,
someone
else
jumps
up
ahead
of
me.
My
teammates
questioned
me
saying,
"How
come
you
haven't
been
jumping?"
For
even
my
own
teammates
did
not
believe
in
me.
Therefore
I
told
them,
"The
right
time
for
me
has
not
yet
come."
For
them
any
time
to
jump
is
right,
but
I
prefer
to
jump
in
my
own
time.
Then,
on
the
last
and
greatest
day
of
the
Finals
I
can
stand
and
say
in
a
loud
voice,
"My
teammates
are
always
jumping
even
to
this
very
day,
and
I
too
am
jumping."
Many
quizzers
have
asked
us,
"Is
this
your
teammate
Dave?
Is
this
the
one
you
say
is
in
college?
How
is
it
that
he
can
still
quiz?"
To
this
we
replied,
"We
know
he
is
our
teammate,
and
we
know
he
is
in
college.
But
how
he
can
still
study,
or
what
he'll
do
after
he
retires,
we
don't
know.
Ask
him;
he
is
of
age.
He
will
speak
for
himself."
At
the
motel
this
morning,
my
sister
and
I
said,
"Our
friend
Evelyn
has
fallen
asleep,
but
we
are
going
to
wake
her
up."
Finally,
we
went
back
to
our
coach
and
the
others
who
asked
us,
"Why
didn't
you
bring
her
in?"
We
declared,
"No
one
ever
slept
the
way
this
girl
does!"
When
Elizabeth
jumped
on
a
finish
this
verse
question,
she
was
hurt
because
the
quizmaster
asked
her
a
third
time
"Can
you
give
it
to
me
again?"
She
said,
"I
have
told
you
already
and
you
did
not
accept
it.
Why
do
you
want
to
hear
it
again?"
Everyone
seems
to
think
that
I
and
my
sister
are
one,
but
I
tell
you
the
truth,
before
Amy
was
born,
I
was.
Yet
to
her
delight,
she
who
comes
after
me,
has
surpassed
me
because
she
jumped
before
me.
You
have
sent
to
my
sister,
and
she
has
testified
to
the
truth.
Not
that
I
always
accept
her
testimony,
but
I
mention
it
anyway.
If
you
have
seen
me,
you
have
seen
my
sister
also.
The
words
I
have
spoken
to
you
are
thought
perfect
but
there
are
some
of
you
who
do
not
believe
me.
However,
Dave
is
the
good

For

For

I
am
going

but
I
say
these
things
while
I
am

My
prayer
is
not
that
we
are

my

from
Berrien.

Iowa?"
I
tell
you
the
truth,
you
shall
seen
greater
things
than
this.
During
one
quiz
our
coach
told
us,
"You
are
going
to
have
the
lead
just
a
little
while
longer.
Jump
while
you
have
the
lead,
before
Detroit
overtakes
you.
In
this
quiz
you
will
have
trouble,
but
take
heart!
We
might
overcome
World."
For
she
already
had
in
mind
who
was
going
to
win
the
quiz.
For
the
fact
is
we
have
had
5
error
outs,
and
the
one
we
had
just
had
was
not
our
last.
Then
we
began
to
argue
sharply
among
ourselves,
"Which
of
us
will
get
this
free
question?"
While
I
am
trying
to
jump,
someone
else
jumps
up
ahead
of
me.
My
teammates
questioned
me
saying,
"How
come
you
haven't
been
jumping?"
For
even
my
own
teammates
did
not
believe
in
me.
Therefore
I
told
them,
"The
right
time
for
me
has
not
yet
come."
For
them
any
time
to
jump
is
right,
but
I
prefer
to
jump
in
my
own
time.
Then,
on
the
last
and
greatest
day
of
the
Finals
I
can
stand
and
say
in
a
loud
voice,
"My
teammates
are
always
jumping
even
to
this
very
day,
and
I
too
am
jumping."
Many
quizzers
have
asked
us,
"Is
this
your
teammate
Dave?
Is
this
the
one
you
say
is
in
college?
How
is
it
that
he
can
still
quiz?"
To
this
we
replied,
"We
know
he
is
our
teammate,
and
we
know
he
is
in
college.
But
how
he
can
still
study,
or
what
he'll
do
after
he
retires,
we
don't
know.
Ask
him;
he
is
of
age.
He
will
speak
for
himself."
At
the
motel
this
morning,
my
sister
and
I
said,
"Our
friend
Evelyn
has
fallen
asleep,
but
we
are
going
to
wake
her
up."
Finally,
we
went
back
to
our
coach
and
the
others
who
asked
us,
"Why
didn't
you
bring
her
in?"
We
declared,
"No
one
ever
slept
the
way
this
girl
does!"
When
Elizabeth
jumped
on
a
finish
this
verse
question,
she
was
hurt
because
the
quizmaster
asked
her
a
third
time
"Can
you
give
it
to
me
again?"
She
said,
"I
have
told
you
already
and
you
did
not
accept
it.
Why
do
you
want
to
hear
it
again?"
Everyone
seems
to
think
that
I
and
my
sister
are
one,
but
I
tell
you
the
truth,
before
Amy
was
born,
I
was.
Yet
to
her
delight,
she
who
comes
after
me,
has
surpassed
me
because
she
jumped
before
me.
You
have
sent
to
my
sister,
and
she
has
testified
to
the
truth.
Not
that
I
always
accept
her
testimony,
but
I
mention
it
anyway.
If
you
have
seen
me,
you
have
seen
my
sister
also.
The
words
I
have
spoken
to
you
are
thought
perfect
but
there
are
some
of
you
who
do
not
believe
me.
However,
Dave
is
the
good
captain
who
lays
down
his
reputation
for
his
teammates
by
defending
our
strange
answers.
For
I
am
the
voice
of
one
quoting
in
desperation.
But
do
not
think
Dave
alone
will
accuse
you
before
the
quizmasters.
Your
accusers
are
also
the
other
team
captains,
on
whom
your
hopes
of
being
correct
are
dangerously
set.
For
they
say,
"Here
you
are
appearing
as
your
own
witness,
your
contest
is
not
valid."
I
am
going
home,
but
I
say
these
things
while
I
am
still
at
World.
My
prayer
is
not
that
we
are
taken
out
of
World,
but
that
you
fellow
quizzers
protect
my
teammates
from
Berrien.
Even
though
our
name
is
Cook,
they
are
not
of
Berrien,
even
as
I
am
not
of
it.
Though
we
have
been
speaking
as
quizzers,
a
time
is
coming
when
we
will
no
longer
speak
as
quizzers,
but
will
speak
plainly.
Our
coach
said
to
us,
"Fill
your
minds
with
John,"
so
we
filled
them
to
the
brim.
They
she
said,
"Now
draw
some
out
and
give
it
to
the
quizmaster."
I
did
so,
but
the
quizmaster
did
not
realize
where
I
was
coming
from.
Then
he
drew
the
scorekeeper
aside.
Finally
they
said,
"Do
you
have
a
reference?"
They
were
using
this
question
as
a
trap,
in
order
to
have
a
basis
for
accusing
me.
But
I
said,
"Why
question
me?
Ask
the
other
captains
who
heard
me.
Surely
they
know
what
I
said.
Stop
doubting
and
believe!"
At
this
some
wanted
to
seize
me,
but
no
one
laid
a
hand
on
me.
Then
they
remembered
that
I
had
said
"Zeal
for
the
finals
will
consume
me."
We
have
done
many
other
things
that
are
not
written
in
this
letter.
If
they
were,
I
suppose
even
quizzers
at
World
would
not
have
time
for
the
books
that
would
be
written.
Your
fellow
quizzers,
Elizabeth
and
Amy
Cook
P.S.
I
tell
you
the
truth,
a
time
is
coming
and
has
now
come,
when
all
who
are
in
their
seats
will
hear
the
question
and
jump
-
those
who
have
jumped
wisely
will
rise
to
quiz
out,
and
those
who
have
jumped
wildly
will
rise
to
error
out.
Come
now,
let
us
quiz.

Dear
Fellow
World
Quizzers,
In
the
beginning
of
the
quiz
year
was
memorizing,
and
our
memorizing
was
with
our
quiz
books,
and
our
memorizing
was
John.
Our
quiz
books
were
intact
in
the
beginning.
Through
studying
all
our
scores
were
made;
without
studying
nothing
was
scored
that
has
been
scored.
There
came
a
team
which
was
sent
from
Iowa;
their
name
was
Greater
Things.
But
some
said,
"Can
anything
good
come
from
Iowa?"
I
tell
you
the
truth,
you
shall
seen
greater
things
than
this.
During
one
quiz
our
coach
told
us,
"You
are
going
to
have
the

just
a
little
while
longer.
Jump
while
you
have
the
lead,
before
Detroit
overtakes
you.
In
this
quiz
you
will
have
trouble,
but
take
heart!
We
might
overcome
World."
For
she
already
had
in
mind
who
was
going
to
win
the
quiz.
For
the
fact
is
we
have
had
5
error

and
the

we
had
just
had
was
not
our

Then
we
began
to

While

someone

My

saying,
"How

you

For
even
my
own
teammates
did
not
believe
in
me.
Therefore
I
told
them,
"The
right
time
for
me
has
not
yet
come."
For
them
any
time
to
jump
is
right,
but
I
prefer
to
jump
in
my
own
time.
Then,
on
the
last
and

of
the

I
can
stand
and
say
in
a
loud

"My

"We

we
know

But
how

we
don't

my

we
are

is
not
valid."
I
am
going
home,
but
I
say
these
things
while
I
am
still
at
World.
My
prayer
is
not
that
we
are
taken
out
of
World,
but
that
you
fellow
quizzers
protect
my
teammates
from
Berrien.
Even
though
our
name
is
Cook,
they
are
not
of
Berrien,
even
as
I
am
not
of
it.
Though
we
have
been
speaking
as
quizzers,
a
time
is
coming
when
we
will
no
longer
speak
as
quizzers,
but
will
speak
plainly.
Our
coach
said
to
us,
"Fill
your
minds
with
John,"
so
we
filled
them
to
the
brim.
They
she
said,
"Now
draw
some
out
and
give
it
to
the
quizmaster."
I
did
so,
but
the
quizmaster
did
not
realize
where
I
was
coming
from.
Then
he
drew
the
scorekeeper
aside.
Finally
they
said,
"Do
you
have
a
reference?"
They
were
using
this
question
as
a
trap,
in
order
to
have
a
basis
for
accusing
me.
But
I
said,
"Why
question
me?
Ask
the
other
captains
who
heard
me.
Surely
they
know
what
I
said.
Stop
doubting
and
believe!"
At
this
some
wanted
to
seize
me,
but
no
one
laid
a
hand
on
me.
Then
they
remembered
that
I
had
said
"Zeal
for
the
finals
will
consume
me."
We
have
done
many
other
things
that
are
not
written
in
this
letter.
If
they
were,
I
suppose
even
quizzers
at
World
would
not
have
time
for
the
books
that
would
be
written.
Your
fellow
quizzers,
Elizabeth
and
Amy
Cook
P.S.
I
tell
you
the
truth,
a
time
is
coming
and
has
now
come,
when
all
who
are
in
their
seats
will
hear
the
question
and
jump
-
those
who
have
jumped
wisely
will
rise
to
quiz
out,
and
those
who
have
jumped
wildly
will
rise

Come
now,
let
us

Dear
Fellow
World
Quizzers,
In
the
beginning
of
the
quiz
year
was
memorizing,
and
our
memorizing
was
with
our
quiz
books,
and
our
memorizing
was
John.
Our
quiz
books
were
intact
in
the
beginning.
Through
studying
all
our
scores
were
made;
without
studying
nothing
was
scored
that
has
been
scored.
There
came
a
team
which
was
sent
from
Iowa;
their
name
was
Greater
Things.
But
some
said,
"Can
anything
good
come
from
Iowa?"
I
tell
you
the
truth,
you
shall
seen
greater
things
than
this.
During
one
quiz
our
coach
told
us,
"You
are
going
to
have
the
lead
just
a
little
while
longer.
Jump
while
you
have
the
lead,
before
Detroit
overtakes
you.
In
this
quiz
you
will
have
trouble,
but
take
heart!
We
might
overcome
World."
For
she
already
had
in
mind
who
was
going
to
win
the
quiz.
For
the
fact
is
we
have
had
5
error
outs,
and
the
one
we
had
just
had
was
not
our
last.
Then
we
began
to
argue
sharply
among
ourselves,
"Which
of
us
will
get
this
free
question?"
While
I
am
trying
to
jump,
someone
else
jumps
up
ahead
of
me.
My
teammates
questioned
me
saying,
"How
come
you
haven't
been
jumping?"
For
even
my
own
teammates
did
not
believe
in
me.
Therefore
I
told
them,
"The
right
time
for
me
has
not
yet
come."
For
them
any
time
to
jump
is
right,
but
I
prefer
to
jump
in
my
own
time.
Then,
on
the
last
and
greatest
day
of
the
Finals
I
can
stand
and
say
in
a
loud
voice,
"My
teammates
are
always
jumping
even
to
this
very
day,
and
I
too
am
jumping."
Many
quizzers
have
asked
us,
"Is
this
your
teammate
Dave?
Is
this
the
one
you
say
is
in
college?
How
is
it
that
he
can
still
quiz?"
To
this
we
replied,
"We
know
he
is
our
teammate,
and
we
know
he
is
in
college.
But
how
he
can
still
study,
or
what
he'll
do
after
he
retires,
we
don't
know.
Ask
him;
he
is
of
age.
He
will
speak
for
himself."
At
the
motel
this
morning,
my
sister
and
I
said,
"Our
friend
Evelyn
has
fallen
asleep,
but
we
are
going
to
wake
her
up."
Finally,
we
went
back
to
our
coach
and
the
others
who
asked
us,
"Why
didn't
you
bring
her
in?"
We
declared,
"No
one
ever
slept
the
way
this
girl
does!"
When
Elizabeth
jumped
on
a
finish
this
verse
question,
she
was
hurt
because
the
quizmaster
asked
her
a
third
time
"Can
you
give
it
to
me
again?"
She
said,
"I
have
told
you
already
and
you
did
not
accept
it.
Why
do
you
want
to
hear
it
again?"
Everyone
seems
to
think
that
I
and
my
sister
are
one,
but
I
tell
you
the
truth,
before
Amy
was
born,
I
was.
Yet
to
her
delight,
she
who
comes
after
me,
has
surpassed
me
because
she
jumped
before
me.
You
have
sent
to
my
sister,
and
she
has
testified
to
the
truth.
Not
that
I
always
accept
her
testimony,
but
I
mention
it
anyway.
If
you
have
seen
me,
you
have
seen
my
sister
also.
The
words
I
have
spoken
to
you
are
thought
perfect
but
there
are
some
of
you
who
do
not
believe
me.
However,
Dave
is
the
good
captain
who
lays
down
his
reputation
for
his
teammates
by
defending
our
strange
answers.
For
I
am
the
voice
of
one
quoting
in
desperation.
But
do
not
think
Dave
alone
will
accuse
you
before
the
quizmasters.
Your
accusers
are
also
the
other
team
captains,
on
whom
your
hopes
of
being
correct
are
dangerously
set.
For
they
say,
"Here
you
are
appearing
as
your
own
witness,
your
contest
is
not
valid."
I
am
going
home,
but
I
say
these
things
while
I
am
still
at
World.
My
prayer
is
not
that
we
are
taken
out
of
World,
but
that
you
fellow
quizzers
protect
my
teammates
from
Berrien.
Even
though
our
name
is

they
are

even
as
I

just
had
was
not
our
last.
Then
we
began
to
argue
sharply
among
ourselves,
"Which
of
us
will
get
this
free
question?"
While
I
am
trying
to
jump,
someone
else
jumps
up
ahead
of
me.
My
teammates
questioned
me
saying,
"How
come
you
haven't
been
jumping?"
For
even
my
own
teammates
did
not
believe
in
me.
Therefore
I
told
them,
"The
right
time
for
me
has
not
yet
come."
For
them
any
time
to
jump
is
right,
but
I
prefer
to
jump
in
my
own
time.
Then,
on
the
last
and
greatest
day
of
the
Finals
I
can
stand
and
say
in
a
loud
voice,
"My
teammates
are
always
jumping
even
to
this
very
day,
and
I
too
am
jumping."
Many
quizzers
have
asked
us,
"Is
this
your
teammate
Dave?
Is
this
the
one
you
say
is
in
college?
How
is
it
that
he
can
still
quiz?"
To
this
we
replied,
"We
know
he
is
our
teammate,
and
we
know
he
is
in
college.
But
how
he
can
still
study,
or
what
he'll
do
after
he
retires,
we
don't
know.
Ask
him;
he
is
of
age.
He
will
speak
for
himself."
At
the
motel
this
morning,
my
sister
and
I
said,
"Our
friend
Evelyn
has
fallen
asleep,
but
we
are
going
to
wake
her
up."
Finally,
we
went
back
to
our
coach
and
the
others
who
asked
us,
"Why
didn't
you
bring
her
in?"
We
declared,
"No
one
ever
slept
the
way
this
girl
does!"
When
Elizabeth
jumped
on
a
finish
this
verse
question,
she
was
hurt
because
the
quizmaster
asked
her
a
third
time
"Can
you
give
it
to
me
again?"
She
said,
"I
have
told
you
already
and
you
did
not
accept
it.
Why
do
you
want
to
hear
it
again?"
Everyone
seems
to
think
that
I
and
my
sister
are
one,
but
I
tell
you
the
truth,
before
Amy
was
born,
I
was.
Yet
to
her
delight,
she
who
comes
after
me,
has
surpassed
me
because
she
jumped
before
me.
You
have
sent
to
my
sister,
and
she
has
testified
to
the
truth.
Not
that
I
always
accept
her
testimony,
but
I
mention
it
anyway.
If
you
have
seen
me,
you
have
seen
my
sister
also.
The
words
I
have
spoken
to
you
are
thought
perfect
but
there
are
some
of
you
who
do
not
believe
me.
However,
Dave
is
the
good
captain
who
lays
down
his
reputation
for
his
teammates
by
defending
our
strange
answers.
For
I
am
the
voice
of
one
quoting
in
desperation.
But
do
not
think
Dave
alone
will
accuse
you
before
the
quizmasters.
Your
accusers
are
also
the
other
team
captains,
on
whom
your
hopes
of
being
correct
are
dangerously
set.
For
they
say,
"Here
you
are
appearing
as
your
own
witness,
your
contest
is
not
valid."
I
am
going
home,
but
I
say
these
things
while
I
am
still
at
World.
My
prayer
is
not
that
we
are
taken
out
of
World,
but
that
you
fellow
quizzers
protect
my
teammates
from
Berrien.
Even
though
our
name
is
Cook,
they
are
not
of
Berrien,
even
as
I
am
not
of
it.
Though
we
have
been
speaking
as
quizzers,
a
time
is
coming
when
we
will
no
longer
speak
as
quizzers,
but
will
speak
plainly.
Our
coach
said
to
us,
"Fill
your
minds
with
John,"
so
we
filled
them
to
the
brim.
They
she
said,
"Now
draw
some
out
and
give
it
to
the
quizmaster."
I
did
so,
but
the
quizmaster
did
not
realize
where
I
was
coming
from.
Then
he
drew
the
scorekeeper
aside.
Finally
they
said,
"Do
you
have
a
reference?"
They
were
using
this
question
as
a
trap,
in
order
to
have
a
basis
for
accusing
me.
But
I
said,
"Why
question
me?
Ask
the
other
captains
who
heard
me.
Surely
they
know
what
I
said.
Stop
doubting
and
believe!"
At
this
some
wanted
to
seize
me,
but
no
one
laid
a
hand
on
me.
Then
they
remembered
that
I
had
said
"Zeal
for
the
finals
will
consume
me."
We
have
done
many
other
things
that
are
not
written
in
this
letter.
If
they
were,
I
suppose
even
quizzers
at
World
would
not
have
time
for
the
books
that
would
be
written.
Your
fellow
quizzers,
Elizabeth
and
Amy
Cook
P.S.
I
tell
you
the
truth,
a
time
is
coming
and
has
now
come,
when
all
who
are
in
their
seats
will
hear
the
question
and
jump
-
those
who
have
jumped
wisely
will
rise
to
quiz
out,
and
those
who
have
jumped
wildly
will
rise
to
error
out.
Come
now,
let
us
quiz.

Dear
Fellow
World
Quizzers,
In
the
beginning
of
the
quiz
year
was
memorizing,
and
our
memorizing
was
with
our
quiz
books,
and
our
memorizing
was
John.
Our
quiz
books
were
intact
in
the
beginning.
Through
studying
all
our
scores
were
made;
without
studying
nothing
was
scored
that
has
been
scored.
There
came
a
team
which
was
sent
from
Iowa;
their
name
was
Greater
Things.
But
some
said,
"Can
anything
good
come
from
Iowa?"
I
tell
you
the
truth,
you
shall
seen
greater
things
than
this.
During
one
quiz
our
coach
told
us,
"You
are
going
to
have
the
lead
just
a
little
while
longer.
Jump
while
you
have
the
lead,
before
Detroit
overtakes
you.
In
this
quiz
you
will
have
trouble,
but
take
heart!
We
might
overcome
World."
For
she
already
had
in
mind
who
was
going
to
win
the
quiz.
For
the
fact
is
we
have
had
5
error
outs,
and
the
one
we
had
just
had
was
not
our
last.
Then
we
began
to
argue
sharply
among
ourselves,
"Which
of
us
will
get
this
free
question?"
While
I
am
trying
to
jump,
someone
else
jumps
up
ahead
of
me.
My
teammates
questioned
me
saying,
"How
come
you
haven't
been
jumping?"
For
even
my
own
teammates
did
not
believe
in
me.
Therefore
I
told
them,
"The
right
time
for
me
has
not
yet
come."
For
them
any
time
to
jump
is
right,
but
I
prefer
to
jump
in
my
own
time.
Then,
on
the
last
and
greatest
day
of
the
Finals
I
can
stand
and
say
in
a
loud
voice,
"My
teammates
are
always
jumping
even
to
this
very
day,
and
I
too
am
jumping."
Many
quizzers
have
asked
us,
"Is
this
your
teammate
Dave?
Is
this
the
one
you
say
is
in
college?
How
is
it
that
he
can
still
quiz?"
To
this
we
replied,
"We
know
he
is
our
teammate,
and
we
know
he
is
in
college.
But
how
he
can
still
study,
or
what
he'll
do
after
he
retires,
we
don't
know.
Ask
him;
he
is

He
will
speak

himself."
At
the
motel
this

my
sister
and
I
said,
"Our
friend
Evelyn
has
fallen
asleep,
but
we
are
going

up."
Finally,
we
went

asked
us,
"Why
didn't
you
bring
her
in?"
We
declared,
"No

to
us,
"Fill

John,"
so
we
filled
them
to
the
brim.
They
she
said,
"Now
draw
some
out
and
give
it
to
the
quizmaster."
I
did
so,
but
the
quizmaster
did
not
realize
where
I
was
coming
from.
Then
he
drew
the
scorekeeper
aside.
Finally
they
said,
"Do
you
have
a
reference?"
They
were
using
this
question
as
a
trap,
in
order
to
have
a
basis
for
accusing
me.
But
I
said,
"Why
question
me?
Ask
the
other
captains
who
heard
me.
Surely
they
know
what
I
said.
Stop
doubting
and
believe!"
At
this
some
wanted
to
seize
me,
but
no
one
laid
a
hand
on
me.
Then
they
remembered
that
I
had
said
"Zeal
for
the
finals
will
consume
me."
We
have
done
many
other
things
that
are
not
written
in
this
letter.
If
they
were,
I
suppose
even
quizzers
at
World
would
not
have
time
for
the
books
that
would
be
written.
Your
fellow
quizzers,
Elizabeth
and
Amy
Cook
P.S.
I
tell
you
the
truth,
a
time
is
coming
and
has
now
come,
when
all
who
are
in
their

will
hear
the
question
and
jump
-
those

rise

Come
now,
let

Dear
Fellow
World
Quizzers,
In
the
beginning
of
the
quiz
year
was
memorizing,
and
our
memorizing
was
with
our
quiz
books,
and
our
memorizing
was
John.
Our
quiz
books
were
intact
in
the
beginning.
Through
studying
all
our
scores
were
made;
without
studying
nothing
was
scored
that
has
been
scored.
There
came
a
team
which
was
sent
from
Iowa;
their
name
was
Greater
Things.
But
some
said,
"Can
anything
good
come
from
Iowa?"
I
tell
you
the
truth,
you
shall
seen
greater
things
than
this.
During
one
quiz
our
coach
told
us,
"You
are
going
to
have
the
lead
just
a
little
while
longer.
Jump
while
you
have
the
lead,
before
Detroit
overtakes
you.
In
this
quiz
you
will
have
trouble,
but
take
heart!
We
might
overcome
World."
For
she
already
had
in
mind
who
was
going
to
win
the
quiz.
For
the
fact
is
we
have
had
5
error
outs,
and
the
one
we
had
just
had
was
not
our
last.
Then
we
began
to
argue
sharply
among
ourselves,
"Which
of
us
will
get
this
free
question?"
While
I
am
trying
to
jump,
someone
else
jumps
up
ahead
of
me.
My
teammates
questioned
me
saying,
"How
come
you
haven't
been
jumping?"
For
even
my
own
teammates
did
not
believe
in
me.
Therefore
I
told
them,
"The
right
time
for
me
has
not
yet
come."
For
them
any
time
to
jump
is
right,
but
I
prefer
to
jump
in
my
own
time.
Then,
on
the
last
and
greatest
day
of
the
Finals
I
can
stand
and
say
in
a
loud
voice,
"My
teammates
are
always
jumping
even
to
this
very
day,
and
I
too
am
jumping."
Many
quizzers
have
asked
us,
"Is
this
your
teammate
Dave?
Is
this
the
one
you
say
is
in
college?
How
is
it
that
he
can
still
quiz?"
To
this
we
replied,
"We
know
he
is
our
teammate,
and
we
know
he
is
in
college.
But
how
he
can
still
study,
or
what
he'll
do
after
he
retires,
we
don't
know.
Ask
him;
he
is
of
age.
He
will
speak
for
himself."
At
the
motel
this
morning,
my
sister
and
I
said,
"Our
friend
Evelyn
has
fallen
asleep,
but
we
are
going
to
wake
her
up."
Finally,
we
went
back
to
our
coach
and
the
others
who
asked
us,
"Why
didn't
you
bring
her
in?"
We
declared,
"No
one
ever
slept
the
way
this
girl
does!"
When
Elizabeth
jumped
on
a
finish
this
verse
question,
she
was
hurt
because
the
quizmaster
asked
her
a
third
time
"Can
you
give
it
to
me
again?"
She
said,
"I
have
told
you
already
and
you
did
not
accept
it.
Why
do
you
want
to
hear
it
again?"
Everyone
seems
to
think
that
I
and
my
sister
are
one,
but
I
tell
you
the
truth,
before
Amy
was
born,
I
was.
Yet
to
her
delight,
she
who
comes
after
me,
has
surpassed
me
because
she
jumped
before
me.
You
have
sent
to
my
sister,
and
she
has
testified
to
the
truth.
Not
that
I
always
accept
her
testimony,
but
I
mention
it
anyway.
If
you
have
seen
me,
you
have
seen
my
sister
also.
The
words
I
have
spoken
to
you
are
thought
perfect
but
there
are
some
of
you
who
do
not
believe
me.
However,
Dave
is
the
good
captain
who
lays
down
his
reputation
for
his
teammates
by
defending
our
strange
answers.
For
I
am
the
voice
of
one
quoting
in
desperation.
But
do
not
think
Dave
alone
will
accuse
you
before
the
quizmasters.
Your
accusers
are
also
the
other
team
captains,
on
whom
your
hopes
of
being
correct
are
dangerously
set.
For
they
say,
"Here
you
are
appearing
as
your
own
witness,
your
contest
is
not
valid."
I
am
going
home,
but
I
say
these
things
while
I
am
still
at
World.
My
prayer
is
not
that
we
are
taken
out
of
World,
but
that
you
fellow
quizzers
protect
my
teammates
from
Berrien.
Even
though
our
name
is
Cook,
they
are
not
of
Berrien,
even
as
I
am
not
of
it.
Though
we
have
been
speaking
as
quizzers,
a
time
is
coming
when
we
will
no
longer
speak
as
quizzers,
but
will
speak
plainly.
Our
coach
said
to
us,
"Fill
your
minds
with
John,"
so
we
filled
them
to
the
brim.
They
she
said,
"Now
draw
some
out
and
give
it
to
the
quizmaster."
I
did
so,
but
the
quizmaster
did
not
realize
where
I
was
coming
from.
Then
he
drew
the
scorekeeper
aside.
Finally
they
said,
"Do
you
have
a
reference?"
They
were
using

question
as

I

would
be

own
time.
Then,
on
the
last
and
greatest
day
of
the
Finals
I
can
stand
and
say
in
a
loud
voice,
"My
teammates
are
always
jumping
even
to
this
very
day,
and
I
too
am
jumping."
Many
quizzers
have
asked
us,
"Is
this
your
teammate
Dave?
Is
this
the
one
you
say
is
in
college?
How
is
it
that
he
can
still
quiz?"
To
this
we
replied,
"We
know
he
is
our
teammate,
and
we
know
he
is
in
college.
But
how
he
can
still
study,
or
what
he'll
do
after
he
retires,
we
don't
know.
Ask
him;
he
is
of
age.
He
will
speak
for
himself."
At
the
motel
this
morning,
my
sister
and
I
said,
"Our
friend
Evelyn
has
fallen
asleep,
but
we
are
going
to
wake
her
up."
Finally,
we
went
back
to
our
coach
and
the
others
who
asked
us,
"Why
didn't
you
bring
her
in?"
We
declared,
"No
one
ever
slept
the
way
this
girl
does!"
When
Elizabeth
jumped
on
a
finish
this
verse
question,
she
was
hurt
because
the
quizmaster
asked
her
a
third
time
"Can
you
give
it
to
me
again?"
She
said,
"I
have
told
you
already
and
you
did
not
accept
it.
Why
do
you
want
to
hear
it
again?"
Everyone
seems
to
think
that
I
and
my
sister
are
one,
but
I
tell
you
the
truth,
before
Amy
was
born,
I
was.
Yet
to
her
delight,
she
who
comes
after
me,
has
surpassed
me
because
she
jumped
before
me.
You
have
sent
to
my
sister,
and
she
has
testified
to
the
truth.
Not
that
I
always
accept
her
testimony,
but
I
mention
it
anyway.
If
you
have
seen
me,
you
have
seen
my
sister
also.
The
words
I
have
spoken
to
you
are
thought
perfect
but
there
are
some
of
you
who
do
not
believe
me.
However,
Dave
is
the
good
captain
who
lays
down
his
reputation
for
his
teammates
by
defending
our
strange
answers.
For
I
am
the
voice
of
one
quoting
in
desperation.
But
do
not
think
Dave
alone
will
accuse
you
before
the
quizmasters.
Your
accusers
are
also
the
other
team
captains,
on
whom
your
hopes
of
being
correct
are
dangerously
set.
For
they
say,
"Here
you
are
appearing
as
your
own
witness,
your
contest
is
not
valid."
I
am
going
home,
but
I
say
these
things
while
I
am
still
at
World.
My
prayer
is
not
that
we
are
taken
out
of
World,
but
that
you
fellow
quizzers
protect
my
teammates
from
Berrien.
Even
though
our
name
is
Cook,
they
are
not
of
Berrien,
even
as
I
am
not
of
it.
Though
we
have
been
speaking
as
quizzers,
a
time
is
coming
when
we
will
no
longer
speak
as
quizzers,
but
will
speak
plainly.
Our
coach
said
to
us,
"Fill
your
minds
with
John,"
so
we
filled
them
to
the
brim.
They
she
said,
"Now
draw
some
out
and
give
it
to
the
quizmaster."
I
did
so,
but
the
quizmaster
did
not
realize
where
I
was
coming
from.
Then
he
drew
the
scorekeeper
aside.
Finally
they
said,
"Do
you
have
a
reference?"
They
were
using
this
question
as
a
trap,
in
order
to
have
a
basis
for
accusing
me.
But
I
said,
"Why
question
me?
Ask
the
other
captains
who
heard
me.
Surely
they
know
what
I
said.
Stop
doubting
and
believe!"
At
this
some
wanted
to
seize
me,
but
no
one
laid
a
hand
on
me.
Then
they
remembered
that
I
had
said
"Zeal
for
the
finals
will
consume
me."
We
have
done
many
other
things
that
are
not
written
in
this
letter.
If
they
were,
I
suppose
even
quizzers
at
World
would
not
have
time
for
the
books
that
would
be
written.
Your
fellow
quizzers,
Elizabeth
and
Amy
Cook
P.S.
I
tell
you
the
truth,
a
time
is
coming
and
has
now
come,
when
all
who
are
in
their
seats
will
hear
the
question
and
jump
-
those
who
have
jumped
wisely
will
rise
to
quiz
out,
and
those
who
have
jumped
wildly
will
rise
to
error
out.
Come
now,
let
us
quiz.

Dear
Fellow
World
Quizzers,
In
the
beginning
of
the
quiz
year
was
memorizing,
and
our
memorizing
was
with
our
quiz
books,
and
our
memorizing
was
John.
Our
quiz
books
were
intact
in
the
beginning.
Through
studying
all
our
scores
were
made;
without
studying
nothing
was
scored
that
has
been
scored.
There
came
a
team
which
was
sent
from
Iowa;
their
name
was
Greater
Things.
But
some
said,
"Can
anything
good
come
from
Iowa?"
I
tell
you
the
truth,
you
shall
seen
greater
things
than
this.
During
one
quiz
our
coach
told
us,
"You
are
going
to
have
the
lead
just
a
little
while
longer.
Jump
while
you
have
the
lead,
before
Detroit
overtakes
you.
In
this
quiz
you
will
have
trouble,
but
take
heart!
We
might
overcome
World."
For
she
already
had
in
mind
who
was
going
to
win
the
quiz.
For
the
fact
is
we
have
had
5
error
outs,
and
the
one
we
had
just
had
was
not
our
last.
Then
we
began
to
argue
sharply
among
ourselves,
"Which
of
us
will
get
this
free
question?"
While
I
am
trying
to
jump,
someone
else
jumps
up
ahead
of
me.
My
teammates
questioned
me
saying,
"How
come
you
haven't
been
jumping?"
For
even
my
own
teammates
did
not
believe
in
me.
Therefore
I
told
them,
"The
right
time
for
me
has
not
yet
come."
For
them
any
time
to
jump
is
right,
but
I
prefer
to
jump
in
my
own
time.
Then,
on
the
last
and
greatest
day
of
the
Finals
I
can
stand
and
say
in
a
loud
voice,
"My
teammates
are
always
jumping
even
to
this
very
day,
and
I
too
am
jumping."
Many
quizzers
have
asked
us,
"Is
this
your
teammate
Dave?
Is
this
the
one
you
say
is
in
college?
How
is
it
that
he
can
still
quiz?"
To
this
we
replied,
"We
know
he
is
our
teammate,
and
we
know
he
is
in
college.
But
how
he
can
still
study,
or
what
he'll
do
after
he
retires,
we
don't
know.
Ask
him;
he
is
of
age.
He
will
speak
for
himself."
At
the
motel
this
morning,
my
sister
and
I
said,
"Our
friend
Evelyn
has
fallen
asleep,
but
we
are
going
to
wake
her
up."
Finally,
we
went
back
to
our

and
the

asked
us,
"Why
didn't
you
bring
her
in?"
We
declared,
"No

does!"
When
Elizabeth
jumped

this

question,
she
was

said,
"I

who
heard
me.
Surely
they
know
what
I
said.
Stop
doubting
and
believe!"
At
this
some
wanted
to
seize
me,
but
no
one
laid
a
hand
on
me.
Then
they
remembered
that
I
had
said
"Zeal
for
the
finals
will
consume
me."
We
have
done
many
other
things
that
are
not
written
in
this
letter.
If
they
were,
I
suppose
even
quizzers
at
World
would
not
have
time
for
the
books
that
would
be
written.
Your
fellow
quizzers,
Elizabeth
and
Amy
Cook
P.S.
I
tell
you
the
truth,
a
time
is
coming
and
has
now
come,
when
all
who
are
in
their
seats
will
hear
the
question
and
jump
-
those
who
have
jumped
wisely
will
rise
to
quiz
out,
and
those
who
have
jumped
wildly
will
rise
to
error
out.
Come
now,
let
us
quiz.

WBQA

June
2003
Dear
Fellow
World
Quizzers,
In
the
beginning
of
the
quiz
year
was
memorizing,
and
our
memorizing
was
with
our
quiz
books,
and
our
memorizing
was
John.
Our
quiz
books
were
intact
in
the
beginning.
Through
studying
all
our
scores
were
made;
without
studying
nothing
was
scored
that
has
been
scored.
There
came
a
team
which
was
sent
from
Iowa;
their
name
was
Greater
Things.
But
some
said,
"Can
anything
good
come
from
Iowa?"
I
tell
you
the
truth,
you
shall
seen
greater
things
than
this.
During
one
quiz
our
coach
told
us,
"You
are
going
to
have
the
lead
just
a
little
while
longer.
Jump
while
you
have
the
lead,
before
Detroit
overtakes
you.
In
this
quiz
you
will
have
trouble,
but
take
heart!
We
might
overcome
World."
For
she
already
had
in
mind
who
was
going
to
win
the
quiz.
For
the
fact
is
we
have
had
5
error
outs,
and
the
one
we
had
just
had
was
not
our
last.
Then
we
began
to
argue
sharply
among
ourselves,
"Which
of
us
will
get
this
free
question?"
While
I
am
trying
to
jump,
someone
else
jumps
up
ahead
of
me.
My
teammates
questioned
me
saying,
"How
come
you
haven't
been
jumping?"
For
even
my
own
teammates
did
not
believe
in
me.
Therefore
I
told
them,
"The
right
time
for
me
has
not
yet
come."
For
them
any
time
to
jump
is
right,
but
I
prefer
to
jump
in
my
own
time.
Then,
on
the
last
and
greatest
day
of
the
Finals
I
can
stand
and
say
in
a
loud
voice,
"My
teammates
are
always
jumping
even
to
this
very
day,
and
I
too
am
jumping."
Many
quizzers
have
asked
us,
"Is
this
your
teammate
Dave?
Is
this
the
one
you
say
is
in
college?
How
is
it
that
he
can
still
quiz?"
To
this
we
replied,
"We
know
he
is
our
teammate,
and
we
know
he
is
in
college.
But
how
he
can
still
study,
or
what
he'll
do
after
he
retires,
we
don't
know.
Ask
him;
he
is
of
age.
He
will
speak
for
himself."
At
the
motel
this
morning,
my
sister
and
I
said,
"Our
friend
Evelyn
has
fallen
asleep,
but
we
are
going
to
wake
her
up."
Finally,
we
went
back
to
our
coach
and
the
others
who
asked
us,
"Why
didn't
you
bring
her
in?"
We
declared,
"No
one
ever
slept
the
way
this
girl
does!"
When
Elizabeth
jumped
on
a
finish
this
verse
question,
she
was
hurt
because
the
quizmaster
asked
her
a
third
time
"Can
you
give
it
to
me
again?"
She
said,
"I
have
told
you
already
and
you
did
not
accept
it.
Why
do
you
want
to
hear
it
again?"
Everyone
seems
to
think
that
I
and
my
sister
are
one,
but
I
tell
you
the
truth,
before
Amy
was
born,
I
was.
Yet
to
her
delight,
she
who
comes
after
me,
has
surpassed
me
because
she
jumped
before
me.
You
have
sent
to
my
sister,
and
she
has
testified
to
the
truth.
Not
that
I
always
accept
her
testimony,
but
I
mention
it
anyway.
If
you
have
seen
me,
you
have
seen
my
sister
also.
The
words
I
have
spoken
to
you
are
thought
perfect
but
there
are
some
of
you
who
do
not
believe
me.
However,
Dave
is
the
good
captain
who
lays
down
his
reputation
for
his
teammates
by
defending
our
strange
answers.
For
I
am
the
voice
of
one
quoting
in
desperation.
But
do
not
think
Dave
alone
will
accuse
you
before
the
quizmasters.
Your
accusers
are
also
the
other
team
captains,
on
whom
your
hopes
of
being
correct
are
dangerously
set.
For
they
say,
"Here
you
are
appearing
as
your
own
witness,
your
contest
is
not
valid."
I
am
going
home,
but
I
say
these
things
while
I
am
still
at
World.
My
prayer
is
not
that
we
are
taken
out
of
World,
but
that
you
fellow
quizzers
protect
my
teammates
from
Berrien.
Even
though
our
name
is
Cook,
they
are
not
of
Berrien,
even
as
I
am
not
of
it.
Though
we
have
been
speaking
as
quizzers,
a
time
is
coming
when
we
will
no
longer
speak
as
quizzers,
but
will
speak
plainly.
Our
coach
said
to
us,
"Fill
your
minds
with
John,"
so
we
filled
them
to
the
brim.
They
she
said,
"Now
draw
some
out
and
give
it
to
the
quizmaster."
I
did
so,
but
the
quizmaster
did
not
realize
where
I
was
coming
from.
Then
he
drew
the
scorekeeper
aside.
Finally
they
said,
"Do
you
have
a
reference?"
They
were
using
this
question
as
a
trap,
in
order
to
have
a
basis
for
accusing
me.
But
I
said,
"Why
question
me?
Ask
the
other
captains
who
heard
me.
Surely
they
know
what
I
said.
Stop
doubting
and
believe!"
At
this
some
wanted
to
seize
me,
but
no
one
laid
a
hand
on
me.
Then
they
remembered
that
I
had
said
"Zeal
for
the
finals
will
consume
me."
We
have
done
many
other
things
that
are
not
written
in
this
letter.
If
they
were,
I
suppose
even
quizzers
at
World
would
not
have
time
for
the
books
that
would
be
written.
Your
fellow
quizzers,
Elizabeth
and
Amy
Cook
P.S.
I
tell
you
the
truth,
a
time
is
coming
and
has
now
come,
when
all

and

Come
now,
let
us
quiz.

Dear
Fellow
World
Quizzers,
In the beginning of the quiz year was memorizing, and our memorizing was with our quiz books, and our memorizing was John. Our quiz books were intact in the beginning. Through studying all our scores were made; without studying nothing was scored that has been scored. There came a team which was sent from Iowa; their name was Greater Things. But some said, "Can anything good come from Iowa?" I tell you the truth, you shall seen greater things than this.
During one quiz our coach told us, "You are going to have the lead just a little while longer. Jump while you have the lead, before Detroit overtakes you. In this quiz you will have trouble, but take heart! We might overcome World." For she already had in mind who was going to win the quiz. For the fact is we have had 5 error outs, and the one we had just had was not our last. Then we began to argue sharply among ourselves, "Which of us will get this free question?"
While I am trying to jump, someone else jumps up ahead of me. My teammates questioned me saying, "How come you haven't been jumping?" For even my own teammates did not believe in me. Therefore I told them, "The right time for me has not yet come." For them any time to jump is right, but I prefer to jump in my own time. Then, on the last and greatest day of the Finals I can stand and say in a loud voice, "My teammates are always jumping even to this very day, and I too am jumping."
Many quizzers have asked us, "Is this your teammate Dave? Is this the one you say is in college? How is it that he can still quiz?" To this we replied, "We know he is our teammate, and we know he is in college. But how he can still study, or what he'll do after he retires, we don't know. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself."
At the motel this morning, my sister and I said, "Our friend Evelyn has fallen asleep, but we are going to wake her up." Finally, we went back to our coach and the others who asked us, "Why didn't you bring her in?" We declared, "No one ever slept the way this girl does!"
When
Elizabeth
jumped
on
a
finish
this
verse
question,
she
was
hurt
because
the
quizmaster
asked
her
a
third
time
"Can
you
give
it
to
me
again?"
She
said,
"I
have
told
you
already
and
you
did
not
accept
it.
Why
do
you
want
to
hear
it
again?"
Everyone
seems
to
think
that
I
and
my
sister
are
one,
but
I
tell
you
the
truth,
before
Amy
was
born,
I
was.
Yet
to
her
delight,
she
who
comes
after
me,
has
surpassed
me
because
she
jumped
before
me.
You
have
sent
to
my
sister,
and
she
has
testified
to
the
truth.
Not
that
I
always
accept
her
testimony,
but
I
mention
it
anyway.
If
you
have
seen
me,
you
have
seen
my
sister
also.
The words I have spoken to you are thought perfect but there are some of you who do not believe me. However, Dave is the good captain who lays down his reputation for his teammates by defending our strange answers. For I am the voice of one quoting in desperation. But do not think Dave alone will accuse you before the quizmasters. Your accusers are also the other team captains, on whom your hopes of being correct are dangerously set. For they say, "Here you are appearing as your own witness, your contest is not valid."
I am going home, but I say these things while I am still at World. My prayer is not that we are taken out of World, but that you fellow quizzers protect my teammates from Berrien. Even though our name is Cook, they are not of Berrien, even as I am not of it.
Though we have been speaking as quizzers, a time is coming when we will no longer speak as quizzers, but will speak plainly.
Our coach said to us, "Fill your minds with John," so we filled them to the brim. They she said, "Now draw some out and give it to the quizmaster." I did so, but the quizmaster did not realize where I was coming from. Then he drew the scorekeeper aside. Finally they said, "Do you have a reference?" They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing me. But I said, "Why question me? Ask the other captains who heard me. Surely they know what I said. Stop doubting and believe!" At this some wanted to seize me, but no one laid a hand on me. Then they remembered that I had said "Zeal for the finals will consume me."
We have done many other things that are not written in this letter. If they were, I suppose even quizzers at World would not have time for the books that would be written.
Your
fellow
quizzers,
Elizabeth
and
Amy
Cook
P.S. I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come, when all who are in their seats will hear the question and jump - those who have jumped wisely will rise to quiz out, and those who have jumped wildly will rise to error out. Come now, let us quiz.
