Senior Prank?
 

Just wondering if anyone here has any ideas for a safe ::safety:: and relatively legal senior prank. it won't be til next year but it has to be awesome so we're planning ahead =). Building's open [to us anyways] at night so we can basically do whatever we want, but were a small school <160 students and only 25 in my class. As far as i know none of the classes have done pranks and we want to do one. at the moment, we have plans for bird seed all over the parking lot, TP'ing something, possibly 'decorating' rooms with tin-foil, newspaper etc. Water-filled cups might work. We were thinking about taking over the PA but there's an elementary at the other end of the school and we haven't decided whether we want to mess with them or not [odds are not]

*note: we are going to clean it up and most likely we're not going to get in trouble, but just to be safe we'd like to keep it legal. also seran wrapping and egging cars destroys paint so thats off limits.*

=D

It is a bit dated, but you might want to check out this thread. For example, there is post #4:

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Um, exactly how does one grease a pig? :confused:

Whatever you come up with, make sure it is reversible - that is, things can be brought back to normal without damage. But, I think you guys know that.

The very best pranks are the ones that have intelligent peiople looking at it and wondering "How did they DO that?" Use your engineering talent and imagination...

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Take if to the extreme. Push it the furthest you can go without getting in trouble. Become legends in your high school.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Dave, I laugh at the 1, 2, 4 joke every time. my uncle and his friend(s) did that to a rival school in the middle of the week. they actually thought there was only 2 for a while because #4 disappeared for two hours without being seen. #1 and #2 got caught almost immediately and the school was frantic when #4 was sighted finally.

that's the plan =)

The way our school is set up, we don't have a football team/used field and we don't have a hill we can paint. The front of the school is basically a single long brick wall as the main entrance is in the back. we have a courtyard which might be pretty awesome to do something to. I'm liking the idea of hiding the principal's office, just tweaking it, as in removing his whole office and hiding it somewhere. Unfortunately the courtyard is surprisingly windy so it's not a good place for an office space, even if it's covered. We have a ton of unused lockers down the hallway to the lunch room so we could create some kind of trap for the freshmen or something. :ahh: i just had a thought, if we do remove the principal's office, we have three pop machines we can put in there, as well as ~seven robots and three go-karts =)

*still thinking* :cool:

[edit/addition] vehicle(s) in the courtyard would go unnoticed for a while most likely, though one in the office hallway would definitely result in some serious chaos. two would be EPIC! <--caps required--> also making a fishtank out of the main entrance would probably be a bit destructive because on set of doors has an electric lock and its a carpet floor =/
also, there's no announcements unless its something everybody needs to here, ie. an emergency lock down. Messing with the school website would require one of the teacher's to help us and that's not gonna happen >_<
[/edit/addition]

[edit/addition 2] Since we have two schools in our building exchanging their offices would result in lulz. even better we have a school rock and i think they have one too =)
[/edit/addition 2]

Re: Senior Prank?
 

I know a school in my area is a legond for the pranks they have pulled off

maybe the Cypress Creek High School members of team 665 might be able to help you out

a.l.a. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8014324.stm (this years prank recived international attention)

last year they let chickens loose across campus, and the year before that, they decided to detach the outside coutryard lunch area furniture and turn it into a parymid.....

there are MANY pranks i can think of that would work, but not knowing how strict your administration is leaves a huge ? (tip a cow in a hallway/fish in vent system/rubber cement on light switches that requre a key.... doing it while their off,)

Re: Senior Prank?
 

how about every senior work really hard and get straight A's in their last marking period in high school? -


gee- they'll never expect that...

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Flipping the desks over of an entire floor. Obviously fixing it yourself the next morning. The teachers don't really mind, they get a kick out of it.:p

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Read If At All Possible, Involve a Cow by Neil Steinberg.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

I'd have to find it first. off to the library!

-_- Way to have confidence in us wayne...

that might be feasable but unfortunately the seniors are the only one's in 3 of the 5 rooms we could do that to and the other two teachers would not be happy =/

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Two years ago, the seniors at my school moved every desk from every classroom outside (and we have at least 250 - 300 classrooms). Needless to say, everyone else had to spend the whole day carying desks back into the building :mad:

Good workout, though :D

Re: Senior Prank?
 

If your school has a flag pole, put things such as tires or intertubes over the top and stack them. It's pretty confusing.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Hmmm, what would people think of a giant (e.g., car-sized) rock appearing somewhere public? (And who says it has to be a real rock? Just has to look the part...)

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Speaking of flagpoles...we have this one tradition with girl scouts, which involves our LITs's underwear flying high and proud from a flagpole (though that ended when the LITs started hiding their underwear). That might make for an interesting prank, though it might be a bit more appropriate to use normal clothes :cool:

I was in a discussion back in September with some of my senior friends regarding what they'd try to do for their senior prank. Most of the ideas involved cows and stairs and the 1, 2, and 4 pigs, but they liked the idea of moving the desks. They were thinking of just moving all the desks into the hallways and stacking them if they didn't fit.

Again, just make sure that your prank is mature and reversible ::safety::

Re: Senior Prank?
 

No flag pole. light poles though... i think they are the "T" style unfortunately. Innertubes would be hilarious for us FIRST people =)

Hmm... catapulting a huge fake rock sounds fun :)
A friend had an idea of taking the tires off of at least 10 cars in the parking lot. I say time+light=getting caught, plus how do you store 40 tires >_<

Kara, i talked with a few friends about doing that as well. they don't see the laughs in watching perfectly competent adults stare blankly at a few dozen tables.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Back in high school, I ran for student body president. Didn't win, but one of my techniques was writing "Leverette For President" on a bunch of plastic spoons and forks and sticking them in the silverware holder in the cafeteria. The staff didn't object--hey, free utensils--and it seemed to be effective at getting my name out.

One of the students who found me after the plan got out made one request: Sporks. Think about it.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Our Seniors at our school made national news this year with a Senior Prank. It involved two of our team's students.

They planted a garden on campus with a bench.

Read more here: http://www.statesman.com/blogs/conte...ood_at_we.html

In the past the pranks had been very destructive and required lots of cleanup.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

One of the great things about Westlake is that we can always expect excellence with an added element of surprise from you guys. Congratulations to the Seniors '09 on a job well done. The garden and the garden bench will be treasured and appreciated for years to come.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Step 1: Small car (preferably with blacked out or painted windows)

Step 2: remove a 12 inch wide section from the passengers side door to the center of the car (both roof and floor)

Step 3: make replacement roof piece to mend the hole except for a 12 circle in the center of the car

Step 4: put car on rollers and slide it around the flag poll.

Step 5: fasten replacement roof piece (better the fit the more people you will fool into thinking you lifted it up and dropped it down onto the pole)

Step 6: close doors & lock car

Re: Senior Prank?
 

we only have like 12 rooms in our part of the school [the part we're willing to mess with...] and halfish of them have computers and that would triple the time to move the tables/desks. feasable-ish in my opinion but nobody else likes that idea.

Thats awesome that they did something constructive.

No FlagPole =/
Thanks for the suggestions everybody =)

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Come in running to one of the jokester teachers room saying that someone just stoll their car from the teachers parking lot and is headed down the rood (but you just moved it to the student parking lot, you would need a lot of big guys to do it) and watch him run down the rood and have someone go with him and wait till your one or two miles down the rood and tell him.

Thats what some of the football guys did at my school a couple of years ago to one of our teachers that is kinda weird (he just walks around the school with a hockey stick during lock downs)!!!!:)

Re: Senior Prank?
 

to get some good ideas you school watch high school storys on MTV it gave me some good idea for when im a senior! one is that they completly changed rooms thay called it trading spaces and they took pictures before and made everything the same when they switched them.

i agree robert (Thunder68RL) that was really funny!:)

Re: Senior Prank?
 

There's two neighboring teachers with almost identical rooms so that could work...

I still want to move my principal's office and nobody else does =(

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Not knowing how the school computers are set up...

would it be possible to switch which monitor goes to which computer?

Re: Senior Prank?
 

This something a friend of mine did. He took a screen shot of the blue screen of death. Then he used a program on the school comps (meant for teachers but not blocked from students if they know how to get to it) to display it on all the screens in the lab when the teacher wasn't looking. It REALLY freaked out the teacher for a second. It is somewhat reasonable to do, and it really does no damage. But it is definitely memorable to the teacher.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

We had about a hundred pranks that I wont mention here...

However, one that sticks out to me is when myself and a few other seniors got on the roof at night, and got 5 trash cans from all over campus. We erected them in a pyramid on top of the N building, and used white lithium grease and a paint brush to write "2007" on the second row.

It was pretty funny to see the next morning. :)

Re: Senior Prank?
 

This might be funny:
Step one: get flour
Step two: cover the tops of the ceiling fans with flour.
Step three: observe everyones amazement as you get an indoor snowfall during 1st hour ^_^

Speaking of pranks, some friends of mine from pep band mentioned an idea back in the winter. This is more of a pro-snow day thing (our district never gets snow days) but it still would have been funny.
Step one: collect lots of snow
Step two: apply to school administrators parking spots
Step three: get snow day ^_-

By the way i love the three pigs idea. That made my day

Re: Senior Prank?
 

my favorite one behind the 1,2,4 prank is:

if your school has a pool, fill the pool with koolaid powder and if you put in enough the entire pool will turn into koolaid. i have never actually tried this or have seen it tried but it is high on the list of pranks discussed among my friends.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

This isn't really a prank, it's more vandalism. Just think what that would do to a pool cleaner. Something tells me this would be the cause of a law suit or something. Just a piece of advice, don't try this one regardless of how tempting.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

One idea that our senior class is potentially going to do is this:
If your school has a fairly visible flagpole...take down the flag and fold it properly, therefore the school cant get mad..then you put tires all the way down the flag pole, you will need a cherry picker but if you think about it...it is almost impossible to get the tires back off the flagpole without some type of crane because how would you get it off the bottom? you can also do this to the football goals in the endzone of your field and any other large item at your school
this is a prank that your school can not really get mad at you for because it is not damaging the property it is just a huge inconvience

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Trust me, you don't have to damage something for the school to get mad about. If you just inconvenience them, they will be mad. Not saying its a bad idea, just saying that if you do it be prepared for repercussions.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

No flagpole, no pool. The auditorium is used by the grade school in the other half of the building. Only the freshmen and sophomores have gym and use lockers. The cafeteria is also shared. Our main entrance is at the back with another near the office and at the end of a long hallway. The spirit rock's in the front (and is freakin huge). We only have 14 classrooms of which two have stone-topped lab tables, 6 are covered in computers (every desk has them) and 2 are extremely small. Only 5 of those could possibly be switched around. There are 3 multi-purpose rooms of which 1 is massively big [size of a gym++] and used for district meetings, 1 that is used for parent/teacher meetings and morning teacher meetings, and the final one is covered in art projects. The main office is really tiny with a large desk taking up the middle, a huge mailbox/shelf/wall thing on one side. The principal's office (i just learned) contains 4 completely full folder cabinents (roughly 300:eek: lbs each), as well as a walnut bookshelf, and an oak single-piece desk full of crap. The science lab and the Materials Processing/automation labs are both off limits, and the final room we use now contains our team's stuff as well as stuff from the alternative energies team.

*gasp* i just read that again and realized my entire school fits into a paragraph.

WE do, however, have mildly-limited access to the roof and we have a courtyard so that makes it a little bit better. I think we might have access to the tower that is in the middle of the school building but it's ~5 stories high (::ouch:: 2 above the closest roof::ouch:: ) and i've never seen a ladder/stairs/access to it.

At the moment, the only thing we can definitely do is senior skip day* but since its about this time every year we won't get the full effect due to internships that last from the end of april til graduation. meh. A few of us are 1st students so we'll find a way =)

*Senior skip day this year was organized by a group of seniors that have friends/family working at Cedar Point [google?]. All of the schools in our district and the surrounding area have been told that Cedar Point is the destination for those who can afford it and skip. Also, there's about 23:ahh: parties friday/saturday nights, but that's another discussion all together*

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Move the spirit rock.

You only need to move it enough for people to see it has been moved. Certainly it shouldn't be moved far - a few feet. Getting back to my previous post here - make people wonder how you did it.

Um, OK: Now, how are you going to do it? 1723 feet of 3/4" steel cable and several dozen (large) pulleys maybe???

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Since there is no flagpole, install one. With a Pirate Flag.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Hmm what if you mixed glitter glue into the soap dispensers? Might be a bit of problem if it caused drain issues but it would be funny to see everyone walking around with shiny hands all day (also a nice way to figure out who washes their hands).

That or you could just go throughout the school and unplug all of the computer mice (mouses, i'm not sure -_-). If you want to be really mean you could unplug them only slightly so people don't realize that they are unplugged (or it would just fool me).

Re: Senior Prank?
 

If the computers are like ours and have a screen saver at the logic screen, (We use XP but we have the dialog box) then you can walk around and press power on them while they have the screen saver-they'll go back to the "Press CTRL+ALT+DEL" box, and then when they do it shuts down instead.

Or you can just press ctrl+alt+down to flip the screens upside-down. Then flip the monitors upside down so the screen is the right side up. Or for you programmers, make a prograom (hidden with FreeConsole) to run on startup that does it every minute-in a random direction.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Haha that would work. it seems like that might be what we do lol.

LOL everyone who read that here laughed =)

that would be quite amusing.

shutting down computers is a big no-no as well as unplugging them because the district IT guys are 'under a contract' that says they are the only ones that can move, disconnect, reconnect, or in any way mess with their settings. us removing the mice would be a problem with the district not just our school. and flipping the screens is disabled.

Thanks for the idea Don =)

Re: Senior Prank?
 

I like this one, in the spirit of the "garden" prank above. Done well, it could be great.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

haha ya the pirate thing could be tight :)
good luck and do something that gets a laugh but doesnt target anything with sentimental value that can not be put back to its original place or starting point...chances are the school will be mad but its a senior prank so they will eventually get over it ... its ur senior year so ull be fine
good luck and fill us in on what you do i cant wait to hear about it :)

Re: Senior Prank?
 

You could try taping the bottoms of all of the mice (mouses? :confused: ). Just a small piece of scotch tape over the light sensor thing will make them not work. We do it to each other all the time during design (and of course, I'm not affected by it, since I'm apparently the only one who uses the touchpad with Inventor o.O).

Instead of glitter glue, which could probably make the soap dispensers not very happy, you could just mix glitter in. Same effect, really, just less...sticky.

Can you guys ziptie lockers?

Re: Senior Prank?
 

I don't think we could pool enough money to get a flagpole and concrete etc. to put it up, but we sure could try =) and i don't really know how much it would cost...

messing with the lockers is also strictly forbidden, one of the sophomores decided to show some very untrustworthy freshmen how to break in to the lockers and several electronic devices were stolen (and a pair of shoes iirc >.<) and never recovered so any locker-related inconveniences are bad.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

What about taking all of the teachers books and scrambling their locations. The Latin teachers are blessed with math books, the English teachers learn German.
and Science teachers dabble in music theory! Everybody wins!

Fair point, i just wasn't sure if it would be sticky enough normally.

OMG EVERY SINGLE LOCKER ZIPTIED. It's like a janitors worse nightmare.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

It would probably be a lot cheaper if you make a flagpole instead of buying one. Also, who says it has to be a real permanent flagpole? I can't say exact prices, but I'm pretty sure you can get some long metal tubing for reasonable prices at a scrapmetal company. I think most cities have them locally. Perhaps if you tell them your plan, they'll make you a deal.

If its a temperary flagpole, no concrete is necessary which would also lower the cost. This might just take away from the wow factor...

Re: Senior Prank?
 

I love the pig idea personaly, as well as a bunch of my freinds.

How 'bout taking over the school PA system/ video anouncements? You could play an internet viral(youtube) like charlie the unicorn or something. You could also start playing something odd over the intercom(this was our senior prank this year. I will not say which song it was. it was an internet viral) like some metal of some sort.

How are the seats for the desks set up, because if their free to move out side the desks than you could glue them to the ground.

Superglue a bunch of quarters and dimes to the ground?

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Lol RickRolling the whole building would be hilarious, but only i'd get the joke >.<

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Then have a distorted voice of someone(to the point that none can recognize it) say 'You lost the game'....

Re: Senior Prank?
 

and then the internet would claim win and we'd become the subject of many 'a meme.
of course somebody would have to be charg'n some splazers and sham-wow would have to be involved but then we might be trying too hard.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

If your the only nerd in your school, I feel sorry for it.:p

Re: Senior Prank?
 

its not that i'm the only nerd, i'm just one of 4ish that are educated in internets =)
Charlie the Unicorn is about the limit for everybody else.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Now I've done quite a few pranks over the years, and some I pulled at my high school are still ongoing, even years later.

The best pranks require a lot of background research; the more you know, the more epic the pranks will be. And bonus points will be awarded to original pranks. Case in point: some intercom systems in public areas are accessed by an internal phone number calling into a voicemail box. All you need to know is the internal phone number (and extension) and the intercom is yours.

Since I don't want to spoil all the best pranks I've discovered (the best branks are discovered, not learned :D), I'll just share some easy ones:

Pop off keyboard keys and rearrange them. On nearly all keyboards, this can be done without permanent damage. My personal favorite is to switch the M and N keys.

Replace all writing implements in your teacher's desk with Crayons.

If you still use a chalkboard, put pieces of chalk in the eraser.

If you use a whiteboard, get mini dry erase markers and embed them into the eraser.

Have fun with MS Word autocorrect.

Get several hundred "Happy Birthday!" signs and balloons and stick them on random lockers. Bonus points if you use a mathematical sequence instead of random lockers, such as prime numbers or the Fibbernaci sequence.

Make a giant cardboard/wood/PVC UFO, and make it look like crashed into your school. The crash site has to be highly visible. The UFO has to be at least 12-25 feet across. Put a fog machine inside, and then get random students to come to school in alien halloween costumes (or as much of a costume as your dress code allows).

Stage an Improv Everywhere style musical or freeze event in your school cafeteria.

Get cheap 3D glasses (the ones with the red and blue lens). Disperse them out to as many students as possible, as quickly as possible, then have them all walk through the hallways between classes with their hands out saying things like "Whoa! That looks so real!".

Teach at least thirty or so students to go skanking [dancing]. Someone pull a stereo out of a bookbag in a hallway, cafeteria, etc. and blast something like Goldfinger by Superman. Why skanking instead of something more mainstream like rap/pop? Because it's not what everyone would expect from "spontaneous dancing". The best pranks shatter someone's preconceptions, or make them think outside of the "I eat the exact same lunch everyday" mindset.


And remember, always use your powers only for awesome. Because when all is said and done, if it's still funny, then it was a successful prank. It's even better if it can momentarily break people out of the same mediocrity of life. ;)

Re: Senior Prank?
 

After one of our coaches left for the day, the remaining college mentor distracted the other teacher while myself and two other students inverted most of the stuff in the first teacher's room. Computer mice, keyboards, the calendar on his desk, empty coffee mug, we turned the phone around, the clock required duct tape to stay on the wall, things he had pinned above the white board...

good times.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

OK, let's be honest. Stuff like glittery soap in the bathrooms or chalk in the erasers (does anyone actually still use chalk any more?) is cute, but pretty pedestrian. Maybe OK for a quick gag at summer camp, but these are not really the stuff that legends are made from.

The surprising addition of a flag pole (complete with pirate flag) or moving a multi-ton rock is heading in the right direction, and worthy of an honorable mention.

But if you want examples of how the professional leagues do it when it comes to institutional pranks, then there is only one place to go - to the great M.I.T. Hacks.

MIT engineering students have a history of creative, clever and non-damaging pranks that combine the best of an engineering challenges and good sense of humor. They are so good that they have spawned several books to record their history, and are a regular feature on the MIT campus. It is not unusual to find them on the front pages of newspapers around the world each spring.

Some of the favorites include this year's installation of the Apollo 11 lunar lander on the top of the great dome:


and the Robot Rights Protest



although this has to be one of my favorites:

Re: Senior Prank?
 

The high school I attended has a tower that is something like 65 feet tall, with a convenient spire on top. According to my uncle and my father, around 1950, some person or person unknown somehow inflated a truck inner tube to enormous proportions and dropped it over the spire. The school had to hire a professional steeplejack to remove it.

I have no idea how my uncle and father would know this, but they suggest that two war-surplus weather balloons could have lifted the inner tube up there -- but neither will talk about how they could have known that.

(I was the third generation of my family to attend Huntington Beach High School. My uncles, mother, father, and great-uncle all went there. Our senior prank did not -- unfortunately -- involve the tower.)

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Dave is right about this one! (not that he's not right about anything else) Last year for my folklore class, I did fieldwork in the area of pranks and one of the books I checked out of the school library was Nightwork: A History of Hacks and Pranks at MIT. I ended up not using it as a source because my paper switched from being about "geek" pranks to focusing on how a serial prankster operates, but the book was so much fun to read! It convinced me that being a geek is more fun than being anything else! Of course, after returning the book to the library, I was slightly disappointed with my school... either they are too dumb to realize what having a book like that in their school library could cause or they just don't think Mason students have it in them...

There was another interesting book, too: If At All Possible, Involve a Cow that is about different pranks from different colleges (it has a whole chapter dedicated to MIT and Caltech's pranks).

Heidi (who again thanks Dave for the interview for her paper, I'm sure he's partially responsible for the A+ :p )

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that this is your way of pointing out Dave's serial prankster capabilities? hm?


edit: kudos for the A+

Re: Senior Prank?
 

In the manner of pranks...
I would like to submit the following quote for your perusal...


"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.
It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage..to move in the opposite direction..." A. Einstein

Elegance and creativity in pranking is the hallmark ....

I see too many of my students just using the internet to come up with ideas...
You can certainly draw from the masters.... (Caltech and MIT..etc..)
but do your own thing.... make it good... make it unique...

If you make it destructive be prepared for the consequences....
Destructive pranks are almost universally disliked....
And remember you WILL NOT be able to keep everyone quiet.
Some will ALWAYS talk about it....it is human nature

Use the FIRST model..... get together... brainstorm....
develop your plan....

The best pranks are the simplest and most elegant...
the ones that make the observer scratch their head...

good luck

Re: Senior Prank?
 

This year our seniors got permission and forked the whole front and the whole back of our school the used sidwalk chalk and wrote all over the side walk in the front of the school they put FORK HHS 09

Re: Senior Prank?
 

First bold: we were stumped for two weeks
second bold: did that and ^^^^
third bold: that's the plan =)

I thought i'd add that my brother's senior class tied a parking lot of cars together. it was funny until three mirrors got broken off from rope being pulled. and my bro's antenna got bent.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Our seniors pulled off a nice one this year:

All of the seniors smuggled fake swords armor costumes into school a few days back. Then roughly halfway through third hour one of them distracted the people in the office and someone got a hold of the intercom and announced: Attention all seniors. The battle begins now! All of the seniors then proceed to rush out onto the front lawn and have a massive mock medieval brawl. I later learned that in addition the guys in one of the design classes had constructed a functioning catapult which they dragged out and used to fling cardboard projectiles into the crowd. A lot of the people in my class thought it was stupid but hey no one got hurt, and the seniors had a blast.

Our English teacher also told us her classes senior prank. have all the seniors bring in alarm clocks, set them for the same time, and have all the seniors leave. Time comes the bells rings and just doesn't stop ^_^

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Just a note for the community, the swords and armor were made out of cardboard. Not in any way harmful.

And I saw videos of that, it was a really good senior prank. Everyone had fun, and I don't believe that the administration really cared...

Re: Senior Prank?
 

We did a series of pranks. We built Snowmen inside the school, and many other small ones.
One of my personal favorites was buying a community park benh for ths school. These are the kinds that they engrave the donors names on them. Our bench was sponsored by John Galt. It was fantastic when we were walking by it one day, and someone looked over and asked there husband, "Who is John Galt?".

Most of my other pranks were saved for the dorms in college.

Some friends and I help out with an antique tractor show. We pull a prank every year on a friend of ours. One of the best was wiring in a spare truck horn to his brake lights. Quick, simple, irritating, and quite humorus. If possible buy the same horn that the vehicle has for extra confusion.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Depending on the type of lockers the school has, during class get a couple students to go around and ziptie a large amount of lockers shut while "going to the bathroom", between classes there will be quite the frustration as students cannot get their stuff for the next class. It only causes minor problems and delay in school, but it would be nice to watch.

Re: Senior Prank?
 

If done right, students could only get to their stuff if everyone opened their lockers at the same time. This could be an interesting experiment in cooperation....

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Re: Senior Prank?
 

Well my class did theirs today. Took 4 classrooms and moved everything in the room somewhere outdoors (busloop, courtyard, etc) and made a "virtual classroom" outside. It was pretty funny when all the teachers and underclassmen had to go to school outside. :P

Re: Senior Prank?
 

We did ours last night we strung up the whole school with rope, string,yarn,fishing line, duck tape, toilet paper, ect... it was epic! It got so bad that it took 15 minutes minimum to get from the first floor to the third floor, beacuase you would keep getting tangled in it all. It was very satisfying. :cool:

Re: Senior Prank?
 

That sounds awesome...as far as I know no senior pranks were pulled at my school, which kinda stank

Wohoo, digging up an old thread.

Yesterday was our senior spirit day. To celebrate, a large group of seniors "tailgated" in the parking lot starting at 5am, complete with griddles in the backs of student cars, and food. They even had a bounce house! The only thing that the police asked of them was to move their cars out of the circle that they had been parked in, for safety reasons.
GOOD SENIOR "PRANK".

A few minutes before the start of first period, three seniors let 18 chickens loose in the hallways. It created a little chaos, but it wasn't exactly a huge problem, since the teachers, administrators, and custodians did a great job of keeping it under control. It was all fun and games, until things started happening. Two of the chickens got kicked to death. One jumped into the toilet out of fear and confusion, and drowned.
The administration reviewed the security tapes to find out who had released the chickens. The three seniors were caught, and were suspended, banned from fall sports, and I believe that there were a few other punishments. I heard rumors that they went to jail, but I haven't heard official confirmation of it.
BAD SENIOR PRANK.

Please, when it's your senior class's turn to have their glory, please act responsibly.

Moral of the second story: Use Rubber Chickens.

Chaining a full toilet to your principal's parking spot is fun. That's all I gotta say. ;)

Watching them not being able to take the chain off and then realizing they can break the chain- priceless.
