With the end of the year coming what are some of the graet senior pranks youve seen.
today the seniors serane wraped part of the quad. it sucked really
best prank so far was when some students fipped on of the classrooms.
last year they flooded the quad

**youbedead**

take three large animals such as cows label them 1,2,4
unleash on campus.

My senior year of high school, I planned the prank. Graduation was held on a portable stage on the football field, with the graduates in folding chairs. We bought seven thousand plastic forks, and using stencils cut out of drop cloth spell the words "WHAT FORKS?" in 10 foot high letters using all the forks, sticking into the ground.

They had to call in every graduating senior that owed work hours, community service, etc. to pull them all out before they could set up the stage.

**Cheese Elemental**

At the end of this year (which is grade 10, my last year in high school), I plan to set explosives in all the teacher's cars, flood the school buses with anthrax, conduct a napalm bombing of London, kill off all the whales, make a blood sacrifice to Satan, and congratulate Osama Bin Laden on his efforts. Only then will I proclaim 'APRIL FOOLS!'

**Dreadwinter**

I called in and reported that I was dead to a local radio station.

ALMOST canceled graduation for me.

**whatwhat**

the serane wrap one is quite old, although it is ussually done with toilet paper. So it's a tad original.

I know of an agricultural college in lincolnshire where some students dismantled a tractor and rebuilt it in one of the classrooms on the top floor of one of the campus buildings. Now that's a prank.

**Kanluwen**

We uprooted this ridiculous 2 and a half foot tall speed bump that shredded the hell out of the undersides of our vehicles, and then placed it behind the principal's car after he left.

Oh, the shouting that ensued was priceless.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

Darn when you said "senior prank" I thought you meant senior citizens.I have alot of experience with that,I espically love screaming "INCOMING!!!" at our local war veterans home,I have never seen old timers move so fast,ha ha.

**lord_blackfang**

Buy a $100 car (yugo...), park in front of the main entrance, fill with cement.

**Waaagh_Gonads**

500 packs of tampons in the school pool.

**smiling Assassin**

At my High School we had:

a. Laxatives in the Teachers' water.
b. Every entrance bricked up over night.
c. The '1, 2, 4' Chicken Trick (They're running around for ages, trying to find '3', if it isn't obvious.)
d. 5 Teachers' laptops superglued shut (I think somebody got excluded from their university for that)

I didn't do a thing my senior year because my teachers were great, the school system was fine, and I didn't want to waste money on something that would potentially make someone's day awful crappy. Maybe that was the foresight coming out...

**Frazzled**

I was too busy to care.

This.

I read a story recently that some kids at some HS in the middle of the states managed to disassemble and reassemble a car around the school's flagpole.

The thing with HS pranks is that you can't do anything that actually destroys/mars school/personal property, 'cause then it goes from being a prank to straight up vandalism.

Personally, I wanted to get a bunch of my friends to pick up my principal's car and leave it on blocks, but the school parking lot was always under surveillance.

**garret**

me i might fill the quade with custerd?
or beer.
either that or set up speakers around the school and put the brown noise on or gunshots

**youngblood**

Ya, at the local college, some mechanically inclined fellows took apart a professors car and reassembled it in the basement level. Sure it was inconvenient, but the put it back together again outside for him, replaced the fluids, changed the brakes, and put new tires.

**LuciusAR**

You people seriously did these things?

Wow real mature, I'm don't think anyone who indulges in such juvenile nonsense at the expense of people who have spend several years teaching you is worthy of the title 'senior'.

Some of this stuff would likely lead to criminal charges in the UK.

**barlio**

Yeah mine is pretty lame compared to forks and death. A friend of mine got his grubby little hands on the principal's approval seal and we put up a bunch of letter-sized posters announcing the formation of Joplin Freewalking Association. For the uninitiated Freewalking is like Freerunning, but with little physical effort. It was hilarious at that point in time (nowadays I don't know why), but when the principal found out he got a firm talking-to, but nothing bad happened from it.

The year before us a group of seniors (who called themselves the "Brew Crew") spray painted the principals house. Besides being a really bad decision they were all children of doctors and lawyers and were not allowed to walk at graduation. Just because your parents have money doesn't mean you get to do what you want as they found out the hard way.

**Polonius**

Well, I'm not going to defend my prank as mature, but I'd point out a few things:
1) there was no destruction of property, slander of persons, or long term repercussions.
2) the only crime we committed was trespass and littering (albeit 7000 counts.....)
3) I stand by the DaDaist humor of the phrase "WHAT FORKS?" spelled out in forks.

In short, it was harmless and funny.

**Typeline**

You guys know what's really funny about cows? They will go up stairs, but not down them.

A crane.... they had to use a crane...

Generally, this is what the spirit of Senior Pranks should be. Sadly, a lot of idiots seem to think that actual destruction of property/vandalism constitutes as a "prank".

By their very nature Senior Pranks are not mature, but, I feel like a well-planned prank that involves a certain amount of ingenuity is a nice, charming way to leave high school. Granted, it requires kids who aren't trying to be malicious with these pranks and a school administration that doesn't take such pranks too seriously.

The more destructive "pranks" are criminal here too. Personally, I don't abide by those "pranks." It's the destructive crap some kids pull that makes a lot of school's really crack down on pranks (my HS, for instance sternly frowned upon the tradition).

**Dreadwinter**

I at one point wanted to become a teacher, so that I could counter-prank the Senior Pranks and show them up.

But I don't think its worth it really.....

**dogma**

My friend's dad built parking lots as a part of his contracting business. This meant that my friend had access to one of those heat guns they use to melt asphalt. We used the gun to melt the asphalt leading into the parking lot, and then placed cinder blocks in the melted asphalt. Effectively welding them to the ground after the asphalt hardened; blocking all entrances to the parking lot.

School was canceled the next day.

**youbedead**

my history teacher told us about the time they took all the trash cans and put them on the roof

**Nofasse 'Eadhunta**

Me and some of my buddies (we're all seniors at our school) are coming up with ways to prank everybody at our 'end of the year assembly.'

One of them thinks we should hack into the school system and replace all of the videos that will be shown with pornography.

Another thinks we should rig the lighting system in the gym where the assembly will take place.

My idea was to make sorts of 'grenades' made of sheet styrene that will be filled with centipedes and hurled into the audience. These will be crudely made so that they can break on impact.

I'm pretty sure we have more ideas but I can't remember them right now lol.

**Orkeosaurus**

For my senior prank, I hit a guy with my car and buried him in the woods because I was drunk and scared that I'd be found guilty of manslaughter.

He didn't go to my school though, so in retrospect it was kind of lame.

**MasticatorDeelux**

Put a toilet on the perch above the main entrance. Painted it neon orange. Took a crap.

Constructed a 2 story pink (self-stimulating device) aimed at a teacher's window made of paper mache.

Made a snow dong.

Got the janitors to replace the soda with Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Got the senior class to go in on buying $100 of McDonalds fries. Opened the doors, threw them outside and inside the school and laughed as the seagulls came.

Indeed, taking the ones below as example.

A is poisoning (That it's non leathal is neither here nor there) if somone did this they were very lucky to escape charges of assault.

B is criminal damage to school property.

D is again criminal damage to property.

I've no idea what C is all about....

Harmless sillyness is one thing but those are just nuts.

**chromedog**

Auto shop students at my school parked the teacher's car inside the workshop.

The main door is wide enough to drive the car into the building. The door to the workshop is wide enough to permit the car entry.

The corridor is barely wide enough to drive down, and the workshop door is 90* to the corridor.

[Yep, they dismantled it and rebuilt it inside the workshop].
