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.

1
Alarm Clock Mayhem
Set alarm clocks to go off about 2 minutes from each other...hide them all around the school...in lockers, bathrooms, ceiling tiles, vents, ...
Put signs around that say Alarm Clock Day or something, so people don't mistake the sound for a bomb.35 points
2
Letter Men
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. They can't exactly make the whole class change, but they can however ask you put your shirt on inside out...so as a precaution, put another letter on the othe...21 points
3
Sleepover
The entire senior class camps out in the front yard of the school....and sleep in.20 points

Rub Vaseline over the doorknobs so that when the bell rings everyone's hands will be slimy for the rest of the day. If your hand rails are yellow like mine; get some mustard from the cafeteria and use that.7 points
12
Dixie Cups
Purchase 700-1000 paper dixie cups. Fill them up halfway with water. Flip them over and put them throughout all of the hallways. They will be hard to get off and once they're removed the water will come out!6 points

Zip Tie/Cable Tie fun
Get a ton of zip ties(pretty cheap in bulk.) Get every desk, chair, or other mobile object and zip tie them to something that is solid and can't be lifted(i.e. a post, hand rail.) In my school the little rail on the second floor has a chain link type fence. Make sure to pull the zip tie as tight as possible to make for harder cutting off. If your really into it move on and get everyone's locker too.4 points

Used Car Lot
Turn the faculty parking lot into a used car lot, complete with balloons, salesmen in suits, window stickers, and soap drawn prices - if possible, get giant blow up animal.3 points

Add letter inside stating that your class shall not be forgotten. Return Address Possibilities: National Association of Overprotective Parents, Parents Wanting No Drama (PWND), The New Kakistocracy (kakistocracy means government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens)....3 points
21
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. Write a message on a few so people will stop and look at them, even spell out something on the floor. Then, around school, have various post-it notes labeling: Class of 0?- Post-it Bandits3 points

You spend eight hours a day with these people! Eight hours a day! Eight hours with people you don't even get to pick. Eight hours with the guy who has something to say about EVERYTHING. Eight hours with the sci-fi dork who lives in his parent'...
Okay, so they pulled it off...
But I would not suggest trying it again
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

- best senior prank of the school still if you ask any of the teachers would be my year. we took an old car spray painted class of 02 all over, welded a hole through the center and put it in the middle of the court yard with the flag pole through it and took the tires off. they had to get the car towed away and it took them forever to figure out we did it. it is still talked about to this day.

- Funny, funny lens! Great ideas. Do be safe, though--and don't screw up your whole high school career just to leave a statement. The idea is to be famous, not infamous. Loved the lens.
