2. Yes, actually. It was a good one.
Our high school was built on a hill and looked creepily like a prison so the night after graduation a bunch of us got together and surrounded the place in rebar and barbed wire. :evilgrin:

The class before us parked their cars on the lawn and under the catwalks between the wings. :D

3. Yep
I got together with some friends and "decorated" the school with TP and undergarments. Not incredibly "bad" but for me it was the most deviant thing I'd done so far.

4. Not really
Edited on Sun May-21-06 02:42 AM by last_texas_dem
When I was a senior in high school I did deface a giant "Bush Cheney" sign out on the highway, to read "Bush Cheated", post-election. (The only true act of vandalism I can think of that I ever took part in.) I did a really nice job, too, if I do say so myself. But I did that one on my own and it wasn't school-related, so I figure it shouldn't really count. I guess most senior pranks involve hazing of underclassmen, which I always thought was bullshit and wouldn't have participated in.

5. I assisted on one as a junior
We took about 30 rolls of toilet paper and "redecorated" the school.

Back then, I had a gun for an arm. One of my tosses landed at the very top of a tall tree and the cleanup crew was unable to get to it. On graduation day (four months later), it was still up there! :evilgrin:

6. The only prank I pulled was actually GOING to school despite
Complete lack of effort in any class. Ha! I wasted so much of their time!

7. TWO M-80's rigged and tied to a cigarette above a toilet
with fuses on each side tied to flush handle so they'd both lit off and drop into said industrial toilet on second floor. Little did I know how fragile toilet valves were. They never made it to the bowl, but boy did it make a nasty flood when they blew the flush handle out of the toilet and shattered the seat.

And we all got out of school early that April day. No CSI team to worry about back then.


It has remained a secret for 37 years until now.

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

8. what's the statute of limitations on these deals???
This incident was 40 years ago and involved the high school bathroom in C wing.

At the first of the school year a few of us students noticed that the cermanic block wall that screened the entrance to the john was a little wobbly. It was seven feet high and ten feet in length. During the school year while on trips to said restroom we would always wiggle the wall a little bit. Something like tunneling out of a prison. By graduation night the wall was ready to go.

After the graduation ceremony in the auditorium we retreated to the restroom. Damn wall wouldn't go over with the planned gentle nudge. Then as fate would have it our class's version of Forest Gump wandered in. We told him it was a senior pride deal and to ram that wall with his shoulder and yell "go leopards".

The wall went over with a resounding crash. The damage was far more than expected. Nobody had a clue that the cermanic blocks would bounce and take out the urinals and sinks and flood the room.

Oh shit, run away, get lost in the crowd and don't look over your shoulder.

The principal tried his "we know who did it and if you turn yourself in we'll go easy on ya" routine. That usually meant that he didn't have a clue.

10. I never did anything like that
I never wanted to do anything that would would needlessly inconvience or hurt other people.
The worst thing that I ever did in school on purpose was stealing ketchup packets for use on my fries or sandwich (only allowed 1 packet per sandwich or fries).

11. I think the kind of thing described in this thread is the reason
That my high school had sophisticated surveillance equipment everywhere. That, and the school's back yard adjoined the back yard of the police station.

13. You had to have a key to turn off the hall lights
we used to make these keys in metal shop and go around turning off the lights. Drove the custodian nuts.

14. Way back when......Nixon's upcoming trip to China
was in the news 24-7 it seemed.

My buddy and I changed our High School Reader Board to say:
Tricky Dicky's gone Thieu China

Rotsa Ruck!

We were overhead paged to "report to the office"
Where we were lectured on poor spellling and told to change the board..NOW

At graduation we were given special awards for raising community awareness.

15. Ah, well ....
After a wonderful graduation party where many seniors finally got with the people they'd been, uh, thinking about for years, a bunch of us were riding around the outskirts of the county when we came upon a dead, stiff, adult racoon lying in the road. Needless to say, this was an opportunity in search of an author, so we threw it in the trunk. After a few hours of riding around and shmoozing, we drove back towards home and when we found ourselves in front of the neighboring rival high school, we lovingly dropped it into their drum mailbox where it sat basking in the full spring sun for the duration of the Memorial Day weekend. ... never did hear any fallout from that. Oh, well. C'est la vie.

17. I deny any involvment....
but a big ass construction crane mysteriously appeared in front of our High school. It remained parked in front of the school for over a week and almost looked like it belonged there because we placed orange cones and construction barricades with blinking lights around it (snicker, snicker).

19. I wasn't very gutsy.
The best I did was to skip school one day.

20. I went to an all-girl's Catholic school...so nothing too serious.
We snuck onto our school's soccer field at 3 in the morning two nights after graduation and camped out. Then we woke up the nuns with a bullhorn at 5AM. :hi:
