The Tradition Lives On

 

Of course you want your class to be remembered. You want to leave a legacy. A well planned, well executed senior prank is perfect for that. The whole point of the senior prank is to leave a memory, for you, your classes, your teachers, and your community. A senior prank is a mark of school spirit.

To be successful you'll need organization, planning, persuasion, creativity, and follow through.  You must be creative in coming up with the concept.  You must plan out logistics.  You must tell those you need and those who can be trusted.  You must persuade people to do their job, and do it quietly.  You must be organized - everyone must know their role. And you must follow through with the prank and the clean up. 

It may be possible to enlist janitors, or teachers you are close to...with persuasion.  The key to this is explaining that you want their help, so things don't get out of hand. They may be willing to help out a GOOD PRANK in an effort to prevent a bad one. Also, let them know that all money and cleanup involved will be completed by students.

It is a moment where you can show that you are smart enough to pull one over on them. It is not to get revenge on a teacher or school you don't like, nor is it to cause destruction. This is not meant to be a display of stupidity. Grow up.

Everyone needs to get a t-shirt with a letter (or number) on it - you can make them with iron on decals. Just one big letter. Different colors, different styles, on the front or back. Throughout the day, stand near people making words in the hall...snap photos. So letters D, O, R, and K can run next to principal and quickly snap photo.

Post-it Note Mayhem

Come in early enough so this will work- If there is a certain hall in your school, get a whole bunch of post-it notes and cover that hall with them entirely.

Okay, so they pulled it off... 

But I would not suggest trying it again

These pranks did work. They were funny. But given the same set of logistics, I would not recommend anyone attempt a replay.

I think the super balls were a good idea...but on the staircase? Bad.

No No No 

These are not pranks

These are not pranks. They are vandalous, illegal, and wrong. They are not funny, but merely show that you are as stupid as everyone thinks.

- NO fire
- NO fireworks
- NO pulling the fire alarm
- NOT anything that would harm anyone
- NO contaminating food...can get dangerous...allergies...
- NO blocking exits
- NO destruction of property
- NOTHING slippery on floors or stairs
- NO animal cruelty including letting animals loose on campus...cows, chickens, pigs, mice, rats,... Even if it starts out innocent, it could end in cruelty if only accidentally.
- NO targeting one person to the point of being mean
- NO targeting any student
- NOTHING resulting in large expense to the school
- NO tp-ing the place (it's just stupid)
- NOTHING that can get someone fired (don't drop porn in teacher's desk...)
- NO fraud, NO felonies
- NOTHING that would require police, or firemen ... they have far more important things to deal with
- NO threats

My school got the keys to the school, and a janitor to disable the alarms, we had the guys go in every classroom and take every desk and chair and placed the desks in a gigantic pyramid in the courtyard, and lined the halls with two rows of chairs on each side.We took the lunch tables and placed them upside down in the halls, our school is one floor so it was easy but. We then had all the girls fill 8,000 cups of water and place them in between the chairs in the halls. We put a banner "SENIORS 08" in front of the school also, and took some cups of water and arranged them to write seniors 08. we put 08 on every chalkboard. The best part was it included 50 seniors, and the ones that came to school the next day were the ones who had to cleanup, this was by far the best prank my school has seen, it took 4 hours to accomplish, and the juniors think they can match it.

Now listen cause this is good first find out your principle's address. Then make flyer's saying Party at so and so address not saying any name. Then hand them out on a Thursday for a Friday party. Everyone will go to your principle's house.

The high school i go to has always told the upcoming freshman to take the elevator to the 3rd floor pool(which doesn't exist) so a bumch of guys from the swim team decided to throw a pool party on the roof...they got on top of the building with a bunch of plastic kiddie pools and when the faculty got there the next morning majority of the seniors were having a pool party on top of the school

this one is fantastic: buy hundreds of plastic cups. get to school as early as possible. fill each cup half way with water. set them on a main flight of stairs in your hall close to eachother so its impossible to get through. or if you are amazing, fill a hole hall way. therefore, people wont be able to get through, it will be a pain for others to clean up because you have to dump the water, and there are idiots who walk through and spill water all over, which is just funny to watch.

Disclaimers 

(So don't sue me already)

I am totally NOT encouraging seniors to vandalize, cause damage or injury, or harm animals in any way. Senior pranks should be harmless, but fun. Perhaps if some of us could provide funny non-violent non-destructive ideas, then kids wouldn't have to resort to bad and mean pranks.

Also, these are Senior Pranks as in pranks for seniors in high school or college to pull...NOT pranks on Senior Citizens. Get that clear kids...no stealing walkers and wheelchairs. Got it?
