(CBS) WARWICK, N.Y. The month of May brings a long-standing tradition to the high school in this Orange County town -- pranks carried out by the senior class.
Last year, students got into a massive water balloon fight. Every year, shaving cream is smuggled into school and put to uses for which it was never intended.
This year, the principal anticipated trouble, and on May 3 issued an edict; each day for the rest of the term book bags, backpacks, and purses would have to be stored in lockers, in an effort to reduce access to prank-friendly items.

A student caught the tail-end of the prank on his cell phone camera.
The video shows someone holding a rat by the tail, and carrying it down the hallway. Students scramble to avoid another rat, and several white mice are seen cowering in a corner.
A messy streak on the tile floor shows where at least one mouse met a grisly fate.
"There was a lot of screaming and running around," said principal Randy Barbarash. "It took us a while to catch the mice. Unfortunately, one or two of the animals were stepped on in the process, and killed."
Students said as pranks go, this one was a doozy.
