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.

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

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

Good workout, though
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.

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)!!!!

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?

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.

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.
