School Musings - Ida Scudder - III

Scudder Brain! Oh yes, that is still a competition I cannot forget. I dont precisely recall which class i was in. Possibly the 8th standard, methinks!

Anyway, the whole deal about the competition is the preliminary test. And then, we were supposed to be forming groups to face the grand final. The competition was unique in that, as I recall it vaguely, it used to be at the senior school level. So, you could, in theory, be forming and landing to team up with your seniors too!

Now, I don't know what went on in the year that I participated in it. But definitely, it was a time that quite startled me. Yes, because my team, called the "Fantastic Four", had to make it for the finals!

It was definitely one of the intense and cracking weeks I ever had at school. Not really sure at which point earlier i would have ever thought about staying up late in the library to read so much! Well, none of that mattered for the competition purposes because I guess out of the four teams that got selected for participation, "Fantastic  Four" was the one to finish the fourth anyway :D
