Members of the Traverse City Central High School Trojans football team make a dramatic entrance as they storm Thirlby Field Friday during the homecoming game against the Sault Ste. Marie Blue Devils.

Seniors show school spirit as they get down with their 1970s retro ‘Stayin’ Alive’ theme homecoming float.

Junior and sophomore classes square off against each other in a tug-o-war battle during homecoming activity night last Wednesday on Thirlby Field. The sophomore team, not pictured, won this epic struggle.

Here, representatives from each class bob for golf balls face first in a pool of ice cream, water, milk, and sundae topping.

Juniors try to explain why their class is superior during a school pep assembly Friday. Unfortunately, such statements fell on deaf ears as members of the senior class gave each junior a whipped cream pie in the face.
