Five local high schools (Hoosac Valley; Lee; Lenox; Taconic; and Wahconah) competed for honor and prizes in the Athenaeum's Teen Trivia Contest last Wednesday evening, March 18. The elimination rounds left only Lenox and Wahconah standing. An exciting jeopardy-style match forced both teams to compete head to head. While the LHS Millionaires held an impressive lead (310 to 230) going into the final round, the Wahconah Warriors' game strategy brought them the final victory. Thanks to our sponsors, the Friends of the Berkshire Athenaeum and Pizza Hut.
