I’d like to get a heads up on my senior prank next year, so I thought I would ask all you intelligent (and older) people your Senior Prank stories or ideas. Please, only good ideas or funny stories. I know a lot of you have funny stories, so share 'em.
On a side note: pranks which destroy property or kill animals are a no go. the seniors last year found a deer on the side of the road, put it in their trunk, went into our gym and hung it on the basketball hoop. That one sucked, but there were some classics such as the condoms in the vending machines and cut-outs or porn thrown down the main stairs.
minor correction: “…the seniors last year found a DEAD deer on the side of the road…”
Also dorm pranks are appreciated
Well, back in the 70s (when garden gnomes were in vogue), every gnome within a given radius of the school was stolen and stored in the basement. They were tagged, and returned a day or two later.
um well…our senior (in high school) class prank was to get those things, those plastic things for which you tie things but have to cut them off, and put them on all the lockers in the school. No real vandalisim done. Just alot of scissors needed 
the seniors before us though…they peed on the couches in our senior lounge, and put dead fish in the ceiling…the smell was horrible.
The best ever pulled at our high school (I am a teacher):
The night before school started, the seniors, very neatly, repainted every room door on campus. A real professional job - no runs, no drips. Same color, quality paint.
Cut to the next morning: 700 Freshmen wandering around campus, lost, because none of the rooms have numbers on them. None of the teachers had noticed, because we either knew where our rooms were, or assumed that District had repainted the doors. Total chaos…lost souls everywhere. It was hilarious!!! And TOTALLY nondestructive. All Maintainence had to do was restencil the room numbers.
All in all, a great stunt.
that is a good one except that our room numbers are on plaques on the wall next to the door and the numbers are raised so if they were painted over you could still see what it said.
Just so all of you know, our meanest principal is leaving next year to go to another school so everyone is planning on some major mischeif next year.
My class was told that any Senior Pranks would result in jail time, so none were pulled my year.
Now . . . I know this is desructive, but . . . it’s still amusing.
The class before me (`00), did a fun thing. We had 9 buildings on campus, numbered 100-900. They removed all the numbers other than the 00. I thought it was clever.
We put every single desk in the bathrooms. I have no idea why, but it was funny.
At a high school near my hometown, the principal’s big ego trip was to march the student body out to the stadium each spring and read off every single scholarship offered to the graduating seniors, one-by-one (a four-hour ordeal). That and also having a very large grand-total dollar figure. How did they know who got offered which scholarships? Letters from whoever gave the scholarship!
Some fellows doctored up some letterhead and five “recipients” (who were in on the prank) submitted letters offering them each $20K scholarships from the International Whaling Commission; one was for a guy to an all women’s college, another for a Catholic guy to BYU, another to the Incarnate Word College, one to Harvard. All pretty ridiculous if you put them next to each other but it managed to slip through. Nobody noticed until scholarship ceremony day when they were announced and the dudes walked front and center to “receive” their IWC scholarships, at which time EVERYBODY realized . . . guess you had to be there. The students involved were threatened with expulsion, non-graduation, and charges of fraud by the head principal. Nothing really happened though, since everyone enjoyed that prank more than when “seniors 93 whoopin’ ass” was spray-painted on the town’s water tower.
BTW I believe the same class will be featured on the high school reunion “reality” show this spring. Round Rock Texas, 1993.
Our high school was built in four wings forming a closed square with a courtyard in the middle. One member of my class worked on a dairy farm and had his very own cow as he was a member of the FFA. They put the cow in the courtyard one night.
