The Murder of Crows

I'll never forget that Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest president of the U.S., or that the Grateful Dead were first called the Warlocks, and a group of crows are called a murder, thanks to Trivia Night at St Margaret of Scotland School last night. (I was so SURE that John F. Kennedy was the youngest elected president but there was a "catch" to the question. Roosevelt was sworn in after the assassination of William McKinley in 1901, making Kennedy the youngest president actually voted to the office.) These are examples of the wide variety of trivia questions posed upon the largest turnout of Trivia Night history of St Margaret's.



Our team ended up in 4th place--missing a show by just 2 points. We were too good to win the loser's basket and not good enough to be in the money. But, the fun was priceless and we saw some old friends, met some nice people and made new friends. You ought to try it.

  1. SMS Trivia night is a hard one too!!! There are some serious trivia hounds in the parish and they used to compete the circle in the area and win all the events. So feel impressed with yourselves that you took 4th! You should have been playing on our team all those years we asked you!
