This quiz is testing your knowledge of music of the 1980’s. I will give you a song title, and you need to come up with who was the person or group that sang it in the ‘80’s.
The answers are at the end of the quiz. Keep track of your score and read exactly what your score indicates. If you would like- share your score on the Facebook or Massey Blog under the comments.
If you sang any of these songs in Karaoke, give yourself an extra point for that song.
In the early 1970’s, two Galesburg High School teachers came up with a plan to team teach a course combining U.S. History and American Literature. Joe Patterson was the English half of the team, and Hal Devore was the history half of the team.
I had the good fortune to student-teach for Hal Devore in the Fall of 1973, so I had the opportunity to get an inside look at their plan and their approach. My role was more one of observation as opposed to being in front of the classroom.
Congratulations to Coach Kimberly Barth and her Washington Panthers on winning the 2026 Illinois Class 3A State Championship.
Coach Barth is finishing her 10th year coaching. In her first five years, the Panthers won one Regional Championship. In the last five years, Washington has won 5 Regionals and 2 Sectionals. Last year they took 3rd in State to go with this year’s State Championship.
29-6 (State Rank #14)
The success the Streaks had in 1996 started with the 1994 season. Sara Wood and Ami Pendry were the starting guards as sophomores on the 1994 team, who was upset in the Galesburg Sectional by IVC. Then in 1995, Sara Wood (Jr) and Molly Watson (So) started along with seniors Bonny Apsey, Stef Mitchell, and Gina Miller. The ‘95 Streaks made it to the Super-Sectional before losing to Normal Community.
The 1995 team may have been one of the all-time best teams with senior scoring stars- Bonny Apsey and Stef Mitchell. There was a real sense that 1995 was the Streak’s chance to go to Redbird Arena. So initially, there was a sense that the 1996 team would not be as good.
No cheating!! Get out a pad of paper to write your answers on, and then go to the bottom of the page when you are all done to check your answers.
