Detroit Free Press , January 31, 1962 Mrs. Jean Beegle's class at Tonquish Elementary School in Nankin Twp. were struck with mania by a box! Not unlike modern tweens mesmerized by technology this "box" was produced by Beegle's husband. It allowed the students to place a question card with their chosen answer into the box and it would return a response of true, false or ridiculous.
