22 Seniors Win Battle Of The Classes The Battle of the Classes is a yearly event held at Northeast. Four students were chosen from each class to represent their class. The Battle of the classes ranged from scooting on the floor to tug of war which was the final event. The seniors proved victorious this year as they won the tug of war to win the overall class competion. Mrs. Shelia Baccus was the ref- eree in the event and she also thought of all the skills to be performed during the assem- bly. Trying to scoot an orange is a difficult task. Where shall I go now?
