A harmless senior prank?
My nephew is finishing high school this week and they have yet to perform their senior prank. That makes him quite the procrastinator in my book since we didn't even wait for our senior year to start with the pranks. During our sophmore year, we stole a teacher's parking permit and carefully duplicated it, then placed a couple hundred copies around school where students could find them. Even stuck some through the slats and into lockers. Parking for everyone! (they changed the official sticker)

There are the classics: bubble bath in the fountain, butcher wrap taped to the frame of a door (teacher's lounge) that opens in then fill the space between the wrap and the door with popcorn or ping pong balls. Releasing live animals in the hallways (chickens, rats, etc) -- some danger to the animals though.

In schools with suspended ceilings, students have brought a dozen cheap battery operated alarm clocks and set them all to go off during finals before tucking them into the ceilings of several rooms. Although in the post-Columbine, post-911 world that could be misinterpretted.

Any ideas for a non-harmful/arrestable prank?

1. Stuff a teacher's office with wadded up paper
Nothing gets broken and everybody laughs at the end.
Throw a rubber chicken in the air at the ceremony, when all the grads through their hats.

My brother's class, 1981, did some things that would be considered criminal in today's world. They took the library hostage with squirt guns. They then had a hit list-every day, they put someone's name on the wall. Every time he and his friends passed that person, they squirted him or her with the gun.

My mom actually yelled at me for warning a kid on the list that he was the one the next day (such great parenting). He wore a raincoat and robbed my asshole brother of his fun that day. That was the day the principal put an end to my brother and his friend's hit list, which is good, because I was going to be it the next day for warning the other kid.

I graduated the next year. We didn't really do many pranks-we all parked poorly one day to make it difficult for the teachers to get out of their parking lot. My class wasn't full of obnoxious assholes like my brother and his friends.

We didn't do much (that I know of).

BTW, EK is being renovated.

2. My friend and I put a big ol' padlock on the parking lot gate.
The vice principal was out there at 6:30 the next morning with a pair of bolt cutters.

A couple of years before, a group of kids pushed one of the teachers' Yugo down the hill and he had to get it towed.

3. Is there such a thing as a 'non-arrestable' prank in post 9/11 Amerika?

7. That depends.
Are you rich and white? Do you come from a republican family?

5. Last day, junior year 1985:
The building was a big rectangle with doors on the front and rear of one of the long sides. A student "LB" drove his motorcycle at about 40 mph down the hall and out the front door. He left a 6" wide black mark down the hallway. I went over to see what the noise was. LB drove his bike through the school! Do you see what LB did? LB left a black strip right on the carpet! Then the principal came over and asked if we saw who it was. Sorry, he was wearing a helmet. Couldn't tell. I was on the other side of the building. Wish I could help.

6. sort of harmless...
this year one of the seniors put ex lax into the slushie machine. It was funny but mean because they have a new rule that only one person can be in the 8 stall bathroom at once and only one bathroom (out of 12) in the entire school is open. But, the kids who did it weren't allowed to walk in the Graduation ceremony.

8. We bought a bunch of old furniture and stuff
From yard sales and auctions in the week or two before graduation.

Overnight, we assembled an entire living room and kitchen (without walls, of course) on the front lawn of the high school. We had a lot of details including half eaten dinners on the plates on the dining table.

Unfortunately, the admin had most of it cleared up by the time anyone arrived for school the next day, but we had fun doing it.

9. first you kidnap the Principal's daughter
and sell her to a Saudi Sheik. Then you take the money and buy 100 hits of acid for every student in the school. By aerosoling the drug, you can spray a fine mist as students enter the door, so fine they won't even feel it. have ten-fifteen of the aerosol sprayers in the school running non-stop, and watch the hilarity ensue!

wait, that's illegal now? damn.
