Beaver Local’s Biggest Battle

Battle of the classes has been a competitive event at Beaver Local for many years now. Each grade level has their own team of representatives that participate in various strange and exciting games. The games are chosen by several teachers, and all students are able to sign up for the games. There has always been a small price to pay to see the Battle of the Classes each year, this year it will be one dollar, even participants. Class shirts are also being sold around the school by class representatives, most are 10 or 15 dollars. The games will take place March 23rd during sixth and seventh periods.

Each of the four classes must have representatives volunteer to take place in the events. No students can take place in more than one event, this is to prevent only several students participating. There are events for everyone though, most need about 4 people, and skin the snake requires eight participants. Some games require strength and speed, while others require strategy and technique.

There are two new games this year; skin the snake, and balloon buster. Other games that are being brought back are; drag race, tennis shoe relay race, baby bottle chug, dizzy bat, and the most popular of them all, the tug -O- war. Tug -O- war is worth the most points and is always the last and most competitive game. The other games are also important though, as each point is crucial before the final tally is taken. The winning class isn’t awarded with a trophy or prize, but bragging rights around the school.
