The monthly Quiz-O-Ramas in the TEENARENA at 1530 Ogden Avenue in Benton Harbor, Michigan are part of Christian Youth Ministries, originated by Don and Ibba Glaske in 1954 as Berrien County YFC.
Anyone in grades 3-12 may quiz.
Little League is at 7:00 pm Friday for grades 3-8 and Varsity at 7:00 Saturday for grades 6-12. (Note: 6-8 may quiz in either or both groups.) Even adults quiz at our annual "Quizzers' Revenge" in April! Our Quiz-O-Ramas have two Quizmasters. Chris Cowgill handles Little League and Roger VanMeter conducts Varsity. Main scorekeepers are Lori Thompson and Bianca May. Parents and other volunteers serve as table scorekeepers.
Little League QOR questions come directly from the Quiz-Time sheet plus reversals - by forming questions out of the answers, etc. Varsity Quizzers need to study not only Quiz-Time questions, but also to go directly into the Scripture, looking for new questions that may be used at Varsity QOR.
Questions marked with asterisks may be used to introduce quizzing at your church during Sunday School, Junior Church, or Youth Group. Call Ibba Glaske at either number for further details.
A record of total points is kept for each quizzer in CYM, and annual awards are given. College scholarships are also part of each monthly Varsity QOR for any quizzer in grades 6-12 who earns the highest total points.
Refreshments after quizzing are sundaes or pizza, along with soft drinks.
At each Quiz-O-Rama, pick up Quiz-Times for next month's chapters. And share them with others who may become CYM quizzers!
CYM Annual Awards For Total Points
A record of total points is kept for each quizzer in CYM. "Top Twenty" Varsity quizzers (Grades 9-12) choose one of four books from Zondervan Publishers: Halley's Bible Handbook, Cruden's Complete Concordance, Pictorial Bible Dictionary, and Nave's Topical Bible.
"Top Twenty" Little League quizzers (Grades 3-8) receive a subscription to "Clubhouse" published by "Focus on the Family". "Brio" for girls and "Breakaway" for boys are also Junior and Senior Varsity choices.
Trophies are awarded to the TOP QUIZZER in each category: Little League (3-5), Junior Varsity (6-8 combined scores) and Varsity (9-12).
CYM College Scholarships*
Each month at the Varsity Quiz-O-Rama, the quizzer with the highest total points receives a $25 scholarship for college. This may be anyone in grades 6-12.
A "Berrien's Best" quiz of 5 questions for those in grades 9-12 concludes each Quiz-O-Rama, and the testimony of the winner appears in the next "Quiz-Time". At the end of the year, this group competes in the "Berrien's Very Best" quiz and the 3 winners earn $100, $50 and $25 scholarships.
Beginning November 1991, the CYM Board also added a new college scholarship.
Anyone who quizzes for 2 or more years during grades 9-12 will receive $300 for each year of college, up through 4 years. To qualify, a quizzer must participate in at least 4 Quiz-O-Ramas during each CYM season and accumulate at least 800 points total for the combined years.
Anyone who quizzes for one year during grades 9-12 will receive a $300 scholarship for one year of college. To qualify, a quizzer must particpate in at least 4 Quiz-O-Ramas during one CYM season and accumulate at least 800 points.
If anyone eligible to receive a $300 scholarship had quizzed before 9th grade, participating in at least 4 Quiz-O-Ramas in one CYM season, an additional one-time award of $100 will be given.
This new scholarship also includes former quizzers who may be currently attending college. Because each scholarship check is written to the college being attended, CYM needs the college office address and the specific student account number to which the award will be applied.
