zine Edition IV Thursday 15 January, 2015 Your first week is almost up and today zine has been inspired by you, our superheroes! RECAP... From history to sport, from movies to Taylor Swift, VCESS trivia tested each and every student and tutor to search deep into the dark, longneglected abysses of their minds. Intellect, memory, wit and superhuman guessing skills (not to mention tremendously spunky dance abilities) were all of absolute necessity for those hoping to take out the “2015 VCESS Trivia Winners” title. And what a contest it was. We are super duper overjoyed to announce that the winners of 2015 VCESS Trivia is a tie: F2 and M1 both came first with a total score of 69. In second place was E7 (team name Super Barista) with 68 points, and third place was tied D2 and O1 (team name Type O negative) both on a score of 67.
