GENERAL MORGASM

The 23rd Semi-Annual Williams College Trivia Contest

December 8, 1977

RECRUITMENT POSTER

QUESTIONS AND BONI

This contest, long thought to be lost, was discovered in an old drawer in December, 2012, by Dave Bennett. He writes:
I have no idea how I found this or why I kept this...

On the last class day of each semester, WCFM used to run an all-night trivia contest, starting at midnight and ending at 8:00 am. By tradition, the previous winner ran the following semester’s contest.

At Morgan Hall, we had a trivia team dubbed "Morgasm". At some point, we merged with a team named "General Bumble" and became "General Morgasm." We won the contest in the spring of 1977, and ran the contest in December, 1977.

Attached are our questions, obviously done on an electric typewriter.

I'm sure T-Layds and his crew developed the sports questions, and the "gong show" questions likely come from Dr. Gleason.

SONG #1: "Come Go With Me" by the Williams Octet (asked ABOUT, as a question, in the following 5/78 contest)
