I got to thinking about this after reading the thread on what school people went to and Mossop said:
My school wasn't particularly known for anything special but my year - the class of 2000 - will forever go down in Hermitage history for the stupid sh#t we collectively got up to on our final day...

My question therefore is this....What was the best prank your Senior Class did?


I'll even go first.

It was homecoming week and the entire school was embroiled in class wars (as Senior's we ALWAYS come out on top) this year however, the fish were being a bit more of a pain then usual. Well, we as a class knew that we had to get the attention back on us since it was our last year and all, so a plan was made.

Our school is known as the Brahmas. (See attached picture for what a Brahma looks like) Anyway, in the middle of the school there is a statue of a Brahma that is now surrounded by glass walls with only 1 door (thanks to my sister's graduating class, but that's another senior prank). The only way to get to the statue was through the door inside of the school that has a padlock and alarm system on it. At least that's what the school thought.

You see the statue, even though it was "inside" the school, it was really outside. You see, there was no roof over it. There it was just sitting on a patch of grass, it looked like the school was just built around it. So anyway, the school didn't think anybody would mess with the bull that year because we had been warned after they found the black cats we had snuck into the "B" (We burn a "B" during our homecoming peprally. Someone, I'm not mentioning any names, and snuck some black cats onto the "B" in the rags the person had brought to put on. Anyway, that one got found out to they put security on the "B" thinking we would go for that again, but we had a diferent idea.

We had alot of climbers in my senior class that I swear were half monkey. The walls of the school were scaled and there ended up being a bunch of people on the roof. A couple of people rapeled down into the area where the statue was (who knew knowing how to rapel would come in handy one day :grineyes: ) That statue was painted that night a real pretty purple (our class color)

The administration couldn't believe their eyes the next morning, LOL. They had no idea how it was done. They just KNEW we would go for rhe "B" so that was where all the security was, on the football practice field (aren't diversions great) Our class, the class of 1996, went down as one of the best pranks. It was up there with my sisters class, the class of 1993, who but the statue on the roof (Now that was a funny one).

LOL :rotflmao: LOL

I know several other good Senior Pranks as I was the youngest of 4 children and their wisdom was passed down to me :)

So let's here your stories, the ones who are old enough, about what your Senior Prank was.

:cheers:

We didn't pull one particular prank - basically everybody just got up to various degrees of mischeif on our last day.
I'd guess that about 97% of us were drunk that day but one girl - Michelle - got totally wasted on Aftershock and vodka and she ended up coughing up blood and screaming that she wanted to die. Now, of course, this isn't particularly funny but when you're drunk yourself it is actually pretty hilarious! The sensible thing would have been to call an ambulance or at least a teacher as soon as she started puking up blood but we didn't want to alert any teachers to the fact that we were all trashed (all this happened in our common room - we all skipped classes that day). So a bunch of girls decided that it was better to get Michelle out of the way than to risk everyone getting busted so they locked her in a cupboard and left her there.
To this day I still don't know who it was that grassed us all up to Mr Castels but when word made it's way up to the Gallery (that was what our common room was called) that Castels was on his way all of us bolted out on to the hill behind the football field so we wouldn't get caught. Of course, poor wee Michelle was still in the cupboard.
So there we were, all of 6th year, sitting up behind the football field, scared sh#tless, watching this ambulance come screaming into the carpark. Then, a few minutes later we saw Mr Castels walking towards us accross the football field. It was lunch time by this point and all the other years were running about up on the hill too. We just knew that we'd get searched for alcohol so we were all running around trying to catch the attention of the younger kids and ask them if they'd hide our drinks untill Castels had gone again!!
Bizarrely, he wasn't really all that mad at us. I guess he'd figured that what happend to Michelle would have taught us a lesson...
...he was wrong! After Michelle had been hauled out of the Gallery and taken to hospital we all went back in and a whole bunch of people (though I wasn't one of them) proceeded to completely trash the place! I didn't want to get in trouble for vandalism which really had nothing to do with me so me and a couple of other girls nicked some stuff from the janitors closet outside the toilets - mops, buckets, stuff like that - and went and tossed them into various trees around the school.

I'm not particularly proud of what went on that day. It was very immature and as a result of our actions the Gallery was closed - none of the subsequent 6th year pupils at Hermitage Academy will ever have their own common room thanks to the Class of 2000! However, it was our last day and at least now we all have interesting story to tell!
Actually, who am I kidding?? That was one of the best days of my life!! Who cares if it was immature. In fact, I was so jazzed afterwards that I e-mailed Total Request on MTVUK and got them to play 'What's My Age Again' by Blink 182 and dedicate it to my class, just to celebrate our collective immaturity!

HERMITAGE ACADEMY
CLASS OF 2000!!!!

There's a Big Boy in my hometown that everyone goes to. My senior year we stole the statue and put it on the roof of our school. I swear, it looked like we were the Big Boy World Headquarters!

We haven't did one yet. But I think it will be a good one.

NO!!!! Black Cats, you know the fire works. they come in 50 and 100 count. Make a bunch of noise etc... we wouldn't do anything to where an animal would get hurt. To many farmers.

D

This is actually not a prank that my class did but instead a prank that I fell victim to when I was a freshman.

The seniors thought it would be funny to cover the floor in the freshman hall with baby oil. At the end of the day when all us freshman headed to our lockers we discovered the slippery floor. Soon people were slipping and falling all over the place. I remember carefully making my way to my locker, trying not to fall in the greasy goop. Of course somebody started sliding around on purpose and kept knocking people over. It was really quite funny (and messy). :rotflmao:

Doing things to fish are the highlight of any senior. Our biggest thing was selling elevator passes to fish for their classes which were "upstairs" (They were actually outside in the portable buildings) LOL

D

LOL I've never heard freshmen referred to as fish before. :lol: We always called them frosh.

Oh man, we always did the baby oil on the ramp of our cafeteria, right before the freshman lunch. I think that prank dates back to the 60s in our highschool. We also did the elevator passes, because our school does have a big elevator to the basement, but there aren't actually any classes down there.

we didn't really do a prank but we stayed up late and had a teahcer let us in school and we decorated the school on all the windows we wrote class of 2001 rulez and on every locker and we put up balloons we enlarged pictures to poster size and hung then up took tolite paper and throw it every where and streamers and wrote stuff with side walk calk.

One of the classes last year bought a bunch of for sale signs and put out by the road, so it looked like the school was for sale. It was kinda funny. There's always Senior Skip day and Freshman Friday... I dunno, I'm not a senior, but I'll try to remember some from last year later.

I know one of the past senior classes at my old high school greased two pigs and let them loose in the school. On one pig, they painted a "1" and on the other they painted a "3" so the faculty would think there were three pigs instead of just two and therefore, keep looking for pig #2 which didn't exist! :lol:

TVFavorites, that's a funny one. As was your Ags. Some of those baby oil ones sound a little dangerous though. I probably would have slipped and fell on my @ss.

My senior class sucked royal donkey testicles, so I don't think we actually had a senior prank. There was talk of welding all the doors into the school shut, but that never came to fruition.

The "prank" upper classmen pulled on the "fish" (though we never called them that...I like it though!) was telling them there was a swimming pool on the third floor, or that they had a class on the third floor. (Of course, there is no third floor). As you can see my class was thoroughly without imagination or guts since this is the best we could come up with.

*I* however, did *procure* (cough) the key to the school's elevator, which was reserved only for people on crutches, in wheelchairs, or for moving around AV equiptment. I made a copy of it, and some of my friends were quite impressed with it, and we would occasionally take little "joy" rides on the elevator, which was really pretty pointless since it was only 2 floors. I guess it was the rush of getting caught or something that made it cool. One time I convinced one of my more timid friends to ride with me, and I hit the emergency stop button, thinking we could skip 6th period and say we were stuck in the elevator, but my friend has no backbone and whined until I let her out. (some people are no fun).

What made it so funny, is that my highschool is only 1 story LOL There is no elevator what-so-ever on the campus. :rotflmao: I tell you, selling those passes paid for lunch for the first month or so of the school year. :)


I'm really enjoying hearing all of these stories. Keep them coming.

I just thought of something else...this wasn't a senior prank, but this was a school prank.

My seventh and eigth grade history teacher was an intolerable mysoginist, and he was always making these sickening anti-women jokes in class. Me and my best friend got sick of this come eigth grade, and decided to teach him a lesson (sort of).

We convinced one of the other teachers to help us out by letting us stay after school and she sort of kept watch that no other teachers were hanging around. The night before, me and my friend had made tons of pro-female posters, signs, and other things, and we got pink crepe paper and stuff, and we just totally plastered every inch of this guy's classroom with it.

It caused quite the stir for awhile, until the janitors took it down. The look on this guy's face was priceless. I don't presume to think that what we did made him any less mysoginist, but what it did do was get the fact that he was out in the open. It was no longer something that could be overlooked by other faculty and staff. I'm pretty sure he knew we did it, hell most of the school knew we were the ones who did it, but since everyone felt like it was a long time coming and something he deserved, we didn't get into trouble for it. :happyface

Well since we've only had 2 senior classes so far, we haven't had any pranks so far. But a few people from the class of '01, decided to be a bunch of dumbasses and light the trashcans in the bathrooms on every other floor on fire. They shut down alll the bathrooms and took away our vinding machines and our food and other fun stuff all because some people wanted to have some fun.

:lol: :rotflmao: If we had bushes then they would. But no, we had to go to the nurses office and she only let you go if it was a real emergency.

Because they're evil:(
