A History of Quiz Time

Every week we practice quiz with a red box and a set of pads. Have you ever wondered where they came from, and what their history may be? Well, Quiz Time has posted a history of the pads and their company. And it shows how even doing a small thing for God can lead to big things.

Don didn't realize it would become a business, since only YFC groups were quizzing. Then some church denominations began, and so did several schools. He made pretty much everything from scratch and almost single-handed (including sawing, gluing and covering the wood cases with red fabric), along with some help from his parents and sister. While Ibba continued teaching school another nine years, the Teenarena was built in 1968 next to their home. Quiz-O-Ramas were held one weekend before each monthly rally at the High School, and the top 20 quizzers then competed on stage.
Making the quiz boxes battery-operated was a wise decision, since they can be used indoors or outside, and no electrical adaptor is needed when used overseas.

Take a moment next time you're quizzing to think about all the people who worked to make it happen.
