Of course you have to be careful what prank you select in 1968 when I was a junior the senior Pole vaulters were expelled from school as they snuck up into the rafters to peer into the girls showers as a prankl

The best that I have heard is the auto shop class getting together and pulling an all nighter to dissassemble the principle's car and reassembling it in his office. Imagine the look on his face the next morning.

our school is SO not cool about senior pranks...we have to sign a pledge in order to graduate, and one part of it is swearing to not participate in "senior pranks"

yeah, we have a dress code too...its not that they'll "hold your diploma", but you won't be allowed to participate in the ceremony

we always joked about getting a cow and somehow getting it to stay in the middle of the football field....and then rumor has it that if you feed uncle bens rice to pigeons they blow up?!?!?!? i dunno if it's true...we never did actually try it....
we had some kids sandbag all the entrances to the parking lots at the school one night and put new locks on all the gates so that the school had to have them all cut off and move all the sandbags......that was pretty good
the school got too good at taking the tables off the roof, they would be down before school started...... so not to many people try that anymore....
our pole vault pits got carried about 300 yards, up a huge set of stairs, and about 200 more feet, then over about a 10 foot wall and into the pool..... and let me tell you how heavy a 4 foot tall, 6 foot wide i think about 16 foot long pit is......when it's been soaked in water over night.....we had to take it out of the cover and let it sit there all day.....
then we think later they got moved so that someone could jump from a service road above the dance room/gym area, it's next to a wall, proably about a 20 foot drop....yeah

peopel always talked about trying to turn the pool into a giant jello or somethign like that....

thought about trying to get the marble thing going...we had 930 in my class....but it didn't happen, but we had beach balls and naked blow up dolls flying around at graduation...lol

i heard that one year, some people brought a cow up the stairs to one of our wings. if a cow gets up the stairs....it cant come down because it will crush its legs or something, so they had to bring a crane to haul it out.!!! :dazed:

Q: Are you aware of the prank the Issaquah wrestling team pulled on the way back from its trip to a tournament in Northern California?

A: It's a beauty. The team rode in SUVs to the mid-January tournament in Eureka. Administrators understandably were concerned about safety, particularly through the Siskiyou Mountains on the Oregon-California border.

Coach Kirk Hyatt promised principal Paula Phelps, who had gone to bat for the trip with the school-district office, to call her throughout the trip with updates.

On the way back, the team couldn't resist a prank. They maneuvered one of the SUVs into a snowbank, then had 10 guys sprawl in the snow and all over the vehicle as if the principal's worst fears of a wreck had been realized. Some wrestlers wanted to smear ketchup as if it were blood, but Hyatt drew the line and said "no."

Then they snapped a photo.

Hyatt checked in with Phelps during the trip home but once safely back in Issaquah, Hyatt suggested that she check her e-mail. In the in-box was a photo.

Hyatt said Phelps told him she was stunned "for about 20 seconds," then realized it was a hoax.
