On Friday Jan. 8, the World Affairs Club took four representatives to the Academic World Quest. These representatives consisted of Senior Evan Stiger, Junior Jacob Landis, Sophomores Raylen Welling and Kelley Pfeiffer. This quest is a contest at the Soldiers and Sailors Museum in Oakland consisting of ten total rounds with a variety of history questions ranging from flags to East Asia to global health issues. This event had 50 other schools attending, with four students per team and one team per school. This was Freedom’s first year competing. “We didn’t do excessively well as a school. It goes to show you how much is happening globally and how inconsequential our small community is,” Senior Evan Stiger said. “It was interesting because I haven’t really hung out with the others and we’ve only had two weeks of preparation time,” Kelley Pfeiffer said. “Props to [the students], they did really well. Next year, we can really bring the heat,” said World Affairs Club sponsor Ms. Katherine Gigl.
