The Hound of The Baskervilles Scavenger Hunt

Detectives at work: As Julia Cephas ‘28, Penelope Lampros ‘28 and Mercedes Herrera Aria ‘27 teamed up to solve a scavenger hunt, they had trouble solving a word scramble. Their effort pulled through and they made it to the next clue. This scavenger hunt was designed and created by English teacher Nicki Dabney’s sixth period World Literature class. There were 20 kids who signed up for the scavenger hunt, but only one team of four won, Elizabeth, Isla, Natalie, and Samantha. They successfully completed all the clues within 30 minutes. As Whittle’s team came into history teacher Hannah Ewing’s room, she yelled "GIVE ME THE CLUE.”  I was shocked by the aggression in her voice and a little scared, but I gave her the clue and that's when Elizabeth yelled “I KNOW WHERE IT IS!”  It turns out she did not; they went to the wrong room, but still ended up winning. I recall the team shown in the picture above entering Ewing’s room in a hurry with sweat rolling down their faces. They had been adamant to win. Although they did not win they were a close second. The scavenger hunt was spread out all over campus and Willis Hall. Some clues led them to the rock or the football field, others led them to the teachers lounge or  to Dr. Andrews’ room. In all, this activity allowed the students to recollect the events that took place in The Hound of Baskervilles without giving them a dull moment and creating fun memories.
