Indiana Jones, Captain Jack Sparrow, Harry Potter and Darth Vader went head-to-head Thursday night at Battle of the Classes.
The annual pre-homecoming event pits all four grades against each other in a competition to crown the ultimate champion of the classes. The seniors won with a 120-point lead to the sophomores.
Though the juniors took an early lead, the seniors won the majority of the events. In a major upset, the sophomores beat the seniors to become tug-of-rope champions and came in second place.
“The experience was amazing,” said freshman Lizzy Buxbaum, who competed. “I was nervous, before but being surrounded by your school gives you such an adrenaline rush.”
In addition to competitions between the grades, Battle of the Classes featured the debut of this year’s Guy Poms.
The event was a great way for the school to gather together and get spirited for homecoming, junior class president Jacob Rosenblum said.
“The entire team just synergized and created a power that was greater than the sum of its parts,” Rosenblum said.
