Last year the senior in my school managed to remove the doors off of all the bathroom stalls in the building. Wasn't all that appreciated by the rest of us......

We had major construction going on at our school so all of the seniors had to get new lockers, which meant that they needed to share with the juniors. Since they knew all of their combinations, every lock on each of the junior's lockers was changed. They also took hay and threw it in the quad and let about 25 chickens run loose!

I picked the wrong assembly to skip one year.

From what I heard from several people, two seniors had stolen what our school called "the spirit pole," really a long, smoothed out log that had been painted over by several senior classes over the years. (Our school was built in the '50s, but I'm not sure if the log is that old.)

Anyway, at this assembly that I missed, two seniors ran onto the floor, each with a PIECE OF THE LOG in their hands, and then ran off.

Later, they sent to the school paper a ransom note with a photo of them (their faces blacked out) holding chain saws to the log.

I never figured out what ever happened to the log or if those were the actual pieces they ran out with. But it was all very amusing and caused quite a stir.

Last day of class my senior year. (I was actually done the day before because I cadet taught at a local elementary school, but I stopped in to visit with friends anyway.) Some guys in my class let loose a skunk in the hallways. I went into the school four hours afterward, and I was on the other side of the school. It made me nauseous.

Here's what happens when you pull a senior prank in my area:

Oley school ape prank alerts FBI, bomb squad
Costumed teen sent to prison under $300,000 bail after police take him from roof at gunpoint.

By Angela Pomponio
Of The Morning Call

A prank turned against a Berks County high school student Tuesday when his rooftop appearance in a gorilla mask and sheepskin shawl triggered a major emergency response that included the FBI and a bomb squad.
Police officers took senior Matthew W. Pattison off the roof of Oley Valley High School at gunpoint as students remained locked in their classrooms with blinds drawn.
Officials said such a response is standard after the Columbine massacre and Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
But Pattison's mother said he never meant to draw the attention of dozens of police officers, bomb-sniffing dogs, packs of reporters and at least three helicopters that hovered over the rural school in Oley Township.
'He put on a Halloween costume as a senior prank,' Barbara Pattison said after her son went to the county prison under $300,000 bail on reckless endangerment and other charges. 'He absolutely had no negative intentions at all.'
Pattison, an 18-year-old National Merit scholar finalist other teens described as attentive and quiet, wanted to distract students as a senior prank, Oley Police Chief David A. White said. Some of the students were scheduled to take a state assessment test.
To get onto the roof, Pattison stepped up on a stack of wooden pallets, White said. He jumped down to a lower roof when police confronted him. 'I think his intentions were to peer into the different windows from the roof.'
But White, who was the first official summoned to the school shortly after 9 a.m., said he didn't know that the person wearing the mask was a student. Officials said Pattison, of 73 Rohrbach Road, Pike Township, wore the mask to hide his face from security cameras and also covered his car's license plate with a piece of fabric.
A blue bag found outside the school prompted an evacuation and the need for bomb-sniffing dogs, White said. The students were herded across the street and kept there for 45 minutes until police determined that the bag contained a teacher's lunch. Back in the school, students got a free meal.
Nearby, state police and FBI agents interviewed Pattison.
'You never know. I don't know what his intentions are,' White said, explaining his decision to call other agencies for help. 'In this day and age, you don't know.'
District Judge Gail Greth of Fleetwood told Pattison at his arraignment that he must stay away from the school until the case is resolved. Besides reckless endangerment, he faces charges of criminal mischief, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
As a few parents picked their children up from school early, they commended school districts for their zero tolerance of disturbances since two students killed a teacher, 12 students and themselves during a 1999 shooting spree at Columbine High School near Denver.
Parents noted that in 2002, the Oley Valley district made national headlines when a school bus driver kidnapped 13 students and drove them to Washington, D.C., with a rifle stashed under his seat. The driver, Otto Nuss, is serving a four-year prison term.
'I don't think it's ever an overreaction,' Debra Harpster said as she left the high school with her 16-year-old daughter, Angela. 'I just think you can't take any chances.'
Schools Superintendent Jeffrey Zackon said seniors have been known to pull pranks, but they usually occur at the end of the school year. Past pranks also were more apparent as such, he said.
'Pranks are pranks,' Zackon said. 'I don't consider this a senior prank.'
As Jeff Pfleger left the school with his stepson, 10th-grader Tyler Fick, he supported the officials' response but questioned why it was needed in the first place.
'You have to sign in to get into the school,' Pfleger said. 'But anyone can climb on to the roof? That's what I can't figure out.'

You mean you HAD DOORS on the bathroom stalls in your high school? The administration had removed ours my junior year to curb the smoking problem. Basically, the only ones that had doors were the ones that were inside other classrooms....and in the locker rooms. Gotta love school administration's logic

Okay...here's the prank my class did. We got the keys to the school. Got there at about 6am one morning parked our cars to block the entrance to all the parking lots. Then we put soap&water on the ramp (our school is on a hill so in order to get up there you have to walk up this hill which we refer to as the ramp). The we went inside and blocked every class roomdoor with tables and chairs from inside the classrooms, same with the teacher's lounge. We also filled the entrance ways in front of all the entrances into the building with kiddy pools with water and balloons up to the ceiling. We went up to the 3 rd floor and out of the windows we draped this gigantic banners which said 2004 that we had all signed. Then we all went back down outside in the courtyard (at the top of the ramp from where you can oversee anyone trying to get in). We had BBQ and beer, wine champagne,etc (for us) and squirt guns and waterbombs for all the students and teachers who tried to get in. We also had the soundsystem set up outside so we could have our music blasting (at 6am, imagine how thrilled the neighboorhood close by was...lol)and made announcements or sang with microphones.
After about an 1-2 outside everyone had "conquered" the school or bought our senior newspaper and were permitted to go on in and we instructed them to all sit on the floor and then we put on a show with our version of "I bet you will", karaoke contests between teachers and students and videos we had made.
It was pretty fun. Oh and we set up a buffett with champagne for our teachers in the middle of the room.

Yes singingwendy, I'm a lucky one! Going to a catholic school with (supposedly) well behaved teenage girls we actually do have doors on the stalls! Except after the senior prank of course lol..........Now that I think of it, it was probably a heck of a lot more awkward for the male teachers. We only have one bathroom for them, so, as there was no stall door to steal, the seniors just stole the door to their bathroom.........

My freshman year of high school was the last year the seniors did a prank. I went to a private school that wasn't really near where any of the students lived, so most people commuted through downtown to get there. Well, the seniors thought it would be a good idea to get together and drive 40mph down the main freeway that goes through downtown...they had line of cars about 3 cars thick in all the lanes, and it pretty much destroyed the city that day. Missed flights, meetings, etc...everyone got in HUGE trouble, and that was the end of the senior pranks.

A tamer one happened many years before, when the seniors brought a bunch of cows to the top floor of one of the buildings that didn't have an elevator, and apparently cows can go upstairs but not downstairs, so it caused quite a ruckus...
