1989 National Geographic Bee
Raw footage of the First Annual 1989 National Geographic Bee, an event that
occurred before a live audience in the GHG Auditorium. After Gilbert M.
Grosvenor (President of the National Geographic Society), United States
Senator Bill Bradley, and Alex Trebek each give speeches relating to the
National Geographic Bee and the subject of geography, Alex Trebek introduces
each of the ten contestants to the audience. After the competition has
concluded (and another speech by Grosvenor), the the top three contestants
are presented with checks and answer questions posed by reporters. From the
National Geographic Bee's website: "The National Geographic Bee is an annual
competition...designed to inspire and reward students' curiosity about the
world. Each year, thousands of schools across the United States participate
in the National Geographic Bee, competing for college scholarships and the
glory of being the National Geographic Bee Champion"
