To: Saligao Net <[email protected]> Lourdes Convent High School, Saligao, walked off with the top spot in the QUIZ QUEST held at St.Britto High School hall, Mapusa -Goa, by its alumni association called the Britto's Old Boys' Association. Twenty one schools participated. [See list below] St. Mary's Convent High School, Mapusa, were the first Runner-up in the keenly fought contest, while St. Joseph High School, Arpora was placed third. O.L.of Rosary High School, Dona Paula, completed the set of four finalists. Interestingly, two of the teams were from Co-ed schools and the other two were exclusively Girls schools. No exclusively Boys school made it to the finals. Three schools are managed by different religious orders but under the Archdiocesan Board of Education [ABE] with only St. Joseph HS being a Diocesan school [DSE]. The semi-finalists included Government High School, Alto-Betim [opposite DTE], SFX High School, Siolim, Loyola HS, Margao, SFX High School, Peddem-Mapusa and, for technical reasons, St.Britto HS, Mapusa. Most people were surprised at the good showing of the Government High School,Alto-Betim, the only Government run school to participate. If not for the team's hesitation in the "Who am I?" round, it might have made it to the final four! Architect Pravin Sabnis, the Chief Quiz Master, was a wonderful and delightful person at the helm of the on-stage events.
