Senior Pranks: The Good, Bad, and Ugly

<p>My graduating class didn’t do anything. BORING.</p>

<p>The prank last year involved condoms too. They put them EVERYWHERE.</p>

<p>And, the last day before exams, they made a slingshot and set it up in the Junior parking lot, hitting the cars with water balloons as they left. I was a victim of this. It was a good chuckle.</p>

<p>Also, someone stole the golden Spartan helmet from this statue by our football field. It has never been found, and to this day we’re not sure if it was a senior prank or something perpetrated by a rival school.</p>

<p>Another high school in the county had the best one (I think) this year. They got a keg and filled it with root beer, and had a kegger right in front of the school, complete with a sound system blasting rap music, red Solo cups, and someone who chugged it from the keg when the administrators showed up. I wish our prank was that B.A.</p>

<p>^^ that’s actually pretty cool. lmao</p>

<p>I am struck by the fact that most of these stories involve destruction that is expensive to correct…what a sad way to leave a school.</p>

<p>Senior class broke into LARPing at the end of school in the parking lot…involved delaying buses and “taking prisoners”. It was supposedly all fun. </p>

<p>I like. The beach in front of the school idea.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, that’s the part that’s no fun.</p>

<p>Things that are harmless fun are much better. Sadly, our recent senior classes (as in, all the ones i’ve witnessed as a now rising senior) don’t really know where the line between harmless and harmful lies.</p>

<p>This year’s senior class got three classrooms and filled them with balloons all the way to the top, to the point where you couldn’t walk into the classroom. Then, they got all of the tables in the high school and spelled out 2012! in the field. After he usual painting windows, they set up a huge beach party in the field with food and everything. The principal actually liked it and joined along… LOL. Oh, and the math geeks spelled pi (3.14…) to the 1500th digit hahahahaha. i thought that was pretty funny.</p>

<p>Last year’s seniors filled like 2,000 cups with water and placed them on all the hallways, so that no one could walk anywhere. It was pretty funny, yet it took a really long time to clean up.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure if my class did that our principle would join in, too. He’s so chill and walks around like a movie star. He strolls in the cafe with sunglasses, orders his food with a nonchalant laugh, and strolls back to his office. He so chill. O.o</p>

<p>My class was super lame, they put up a couple of signs that said the school was Hogwarts or something, most of the seniors never saw it, because it happened after most AP/IB exams so none of us went to school anymore for the most part, and in any case it was incredibly lazy and not very orginal.</p>

<p>Class before stole all of the hall passes and arranged them in the shape of 2011 and put it above the vending machines, which was pretty dumb too</p>

<p>2010 had the best prank aside from the heroes who stole all the furniture and bolted them to the roof like 10 years ago, as they put in the middle of the school a concrete 2010, which has now become part of the landscape at the school</p>

<p>Some of the people in my senior class made a video about the school in a parody of ‘The Office’, which was fairly entertaining and we saw today at a senior lunch event.</p>

<p>This year the seniors camped in the parking lot overnight and didn’t let juniors in, in the morning. The principal was a bit annoyed off because teachers where whining that juniors were late so he went and yelled at them. He threatened to give them tickets but none got any. The police actually got called at night because of a noise complaint, but they did not in trouble or even told to leave (even though it is trespassing). Generally our community is pretty open to these things, and I haven’t ever heard of them causing major property damage.</p>

<p>This morning, the seniors had a pool party in the pool during one of the periods lol, then the wonderful attendance office (as always…) marked them all truant or something along the lines of that.</p>

<p>Things that are harmless fun are much better.
That’s why I LOVED the kegger idea when I heard about it. It was funny, scared the crap out of the teachers who saw it, and no damage was left behind. </p>

<p>Also, here is an image of the old location of a local tech/AP high school in the area. (it’s kind of hard to explain, but it’s a program where you spend usually half a day taking CTE or AP classes not offered at the other schools). The school moved after the class of 2011 graduated. The kids who did this are so epic. - <a href=“Google Maps”>Google Maps;

<p>This year some seniors ripped all the stall doors off in one of our restrooms, wasn’t that great, i dont know what they expected to happen–everyone just stopped pooping there</p>

<p>Our amazing, fabulous seniors wrote “YOLO” on two windows. </p>

<p>Does that even qualify as a prank?</p>

<p>Our senior class attempted several “pranks”. The first was that a bunch of seniors would throw about 2000 bouncy balls onto the floor at the end of our last assembly. However, some guy was caught trying to sell bouncy balls during his English class, so the administration found out about the prank and forced everyone to throw the balls away.
The second was some boys drawing inappropriate things on the football field… The day before the Special Olympics was hosted at our school.
The third looked pretty cool: some girls had a flour fight in the parking lot after school one day. It actually looked really cool with the wind and the flour going everywhere, but they got in trouble, and it wasn’t on a large enough scale for it to be a successful prank.
The last prank was the best one. On the last day of school, a few very clever people distributed a fake newspaper around the school called “Beer Facts” (our real school newspaper is called Bear Facts), complete with fake polls, fake editor names, an article making fun of freshmen, a criticism of other attempted pranks, and other various hilarious things. It was so funny and well-written the administration didn’t even get mad or bother trying to figure out who did it (we later found out it was a couple of editors for the real newspaper).</p>

<p>Not cool:</p>

<p>My son’s senior class planned to have a giant watergun fight in the school courtyard. The administration found out and moved them to the football field, but they had a blast. Everyone got soaked, including the principal and the vice principal.</p>

<p>One year the senior class released hundreds of crickets in the auditorium… they bred and you can still hear them today! Our pranks were all little ones and on the last day we did a flash dance which was really fun… especially seeing all the underclassman’s faces!</p>

<p>There were bras hanging on all the doorknobs of the classrooms with a note that said: “We’re BUSTin’ outta here!”</p>
