Does anybody have any good ideas for a senior prank. Something not too destructive or expensive would be nice.:)

At our graduation, we had 'cool & the gang CELEBRATION' in a portable
cassete recorder we had with us. Before hand we had put an input on
the pa system for this purpose, but the input was removed by the
principle even though he was not aware of our plan.
Our hs graduation was indoors, but if yours is outdoors, anyone with
an audio system work more than their truck could do the same.

Something not destructive or expensive might also entail emarassing
the hell out of whoever hands out the diplomas. Put a pie in their
face or kiss them with bright wet lipstick.

Now at college, we discuss the possibilty of hiring a fire-fighting
helicopter to fly over and dump thousands of gallons of water over the
graduation ceremony. Probably too expensive for your taste.

Have lots of fun - you don't graduate that often.

Get a copy of the book _If at All Possible, Involve a Cow_ by Neil
Steinberg. It's devoted to nothing other than historic college pranks
and is worth its weight in, ummmm, really awesome raytracings.

Check it out, you'll love it.

Our High School, Abraham Lincoln of San Jose, class of 72, put the school up
for sale by putting hundreds of realtor for sale signs on the front lawn.
I remember us seniors running from the police, but didn't stop us making the
local section of the Mercury News.

Headlines read: STUDENTS PUT SCHOOL UP FOR SALE

Principal got a good laugh
no one was arrested and all
realtor signs were returned.

How about just filling some condoms up with helium and floating them up to the
ceiling. If you time it right you can get it so they fall down right in the
middle of the ceremony.

When I was in high school we were able to brick in all the major entrances to
the school with materials we found right on the grounds! Also well
appreciated was the 10 foot long paper-mache and chicken wire penis "erected"
in the soccer field and emblazoned with various messages of "well wishing"
directed at the staff. Granted, this was better recieved by the student body
than by the faculty.

At my graduation, we plugged into the PA system also, but we used
the Beatle's "Yellow Submarine" and most of us were singing along with it.
We started it as the valedictorian began her speach, but none of us coud
really stand her. Some other good ones I've seen at other graduations
included simply blowing soap bubbles throughout the entire ordeal, and
getting the biggest, scariest guy in your class, dress him in some leather &
an earring, and have him give the principal (or superintendant) a HUGE hug
as he gets his diploma. That was funny!
Hope these help...

I heard of one where at graduation, each student, as they shook the
principal's hand, handed him a ping pong ball, and the last two students,
gave him paddles.

In high school, we had a demonic librarian who had been around
forever and lived just to come after people for late library
books. She ruled her library like a warden might administer a
prison. Well it so happened that the library had only one
entrance, and it was a heavy metal gate. On the final week of
classes, a group of guys came and made sure she was the only
person in the library. They took a kryptonite bike lock and
locked the gate shut. She came out from behind her desk and
started yelling at us. Someone had a helium baloon and had
tied the key to the lock to the balloon. They pretended to
offer the key to her and then let the key and the baloon go.
It was actually kind of a sad sight to see her hopping after
the key on her one good leg as the baloon took off for the
ceiling. Of course we all told her the whole thing was a sign
of our affection for her (heaving coughing here).

When I was in High School, the senior class bought an old beetle from a local
junkyard. They proceeded to cut the bettle in half and weld it back
together around the flag pole in the center of camups. Everyone thought it
was so funny they left it there for the rest of the week.

Try these:

Fill school vending machines with beer cans and condoms.

Put every single chair in the building in one room.

Put large quantities of crystalized caffine in the teachers lounge coffee.

Turn every desk in the building upside down.

Industrial strength smoke grenades in lockers. (the ones that fill
buildings)

Break door hinges on the outside of the building so no one can get in in
the morning.

Let pigeons go in the gym. Even better if they have been fed a laxative.
The more pigeons the better. Also good in principle or other authority
figure's office.

Let some pigs go in the hallways. Laxatives are good here too.

Penny every door shut and fasten the pennys there with superglue.

Place an old wreck of a car right in front of the school entrance. Make
sure it has no wheels. Even better if filled with cement.

One thing I had always wanted to do was bring a stuffed mannequin to the roof
of my school, put a tape recording of a person screaming in it and throw it off
the roof. The best time to do this would be during lunch when you can throw
it off the roof by where the cafeteria windows are. This would ensure that the
largest possible amount of people see it.

At our cross-town rival high school, some students disassembled a beetle and
reassembled it on the roof of the school building.

A class several years previous to mine sawed the top off of a Volkswagon
bug, turned it sideways and took it through the doors at the front of the
school and left it in the foyer. They then proceeded to bondo the top back on
and paint over the bondo.

Okay, at graduation, you'll probably have to shake hands with the
dean/headmaster/president/bigdude, right? Have each graduate hand him a
marble as they shake his hand...he'll soon have nowhere to put all the
damn things...but the best part is the look of confusion on his face..

Actually, this one may be a bit old, but it works rather well, especially if
you have a large graduating class.
As each graduate shakes the hand of the person handing out the diplomas,
they should place a small object in the palm of the hand being shaken
(i.e. a penny, a marble, a piece of candy.) The hand-shaker/diploma giver
will undoubtedly put whatever the object is into his/her pocket. If
everyone in the graduating class keeps handing off a small object to the
hand-shaker, soon his/her pockets will be overflowing as they try to
contain everything that they are being handed. This produces a hilarious
effect and is relatively harmless.

Condoms, Coffee bags and balloons also work. Balloons work great because
you can inflate them and hand him a sometimes rather large balloon. (Or
you could use condoms) -- Enjoy -- Prankster

In my high school (sic) The senior class wanted to do something like this,
but the principle (an anal retentive/ ex-priest / nun marrying / schmuck if
I ever saw one [those were the common rumors about him anyway]) got on the
announcements, and said (paraphrase) that if the seniors started handing
him things, he would stop graduation then and their, and mail out the
diplomas.

In another highschool in our area, the senior class set loose ~5000 (yes
thousand) crickets in the school one night. (well, we thought that it was
funny)

It doesn't matter who it is; use change. Tons of it. Have everyone bring a
buck or two..... pennies, nickles, dimes, quarters. At least the poor guy gets
something for his embarassment.

One school has this constant thing to out-do the previous class on totals. The
principal LOVES graduation time.

[ Many other good ideas deleted ]

How about :-

Place copious amounts of flour across the tops of ceiling fan blades.

Dry ice in the toilets.

Instant Graveyard :-
Have every student make up a wooden cross or tombstone. Bring them
all in one night and hammer them into the sports oval

If you have a pool on campus, bring in trailer loads of sand and dump
the sand around the pool edge. Call it a beach party.

Slowly take a few dusters from rooms on the campus. Do this until you
have about 200. Then leave them all in the staffroom on the day of
your graduation.

Divert traffic from a nearby street through the campus.

Take all the garbage bins from around the grounds. Form a monument
to the principal on the roof of one of the buildings.

Jack up a teachers car. Chock it up so that the wheels are JUST clear
of the ground, but not enough to notice.

Advertise the principals job in the local newspaper.

Find a shower cubicle where the door reaches the floor. Seal the gaps
around the door, fill up the cubicle with water. Introduce marine
life. Be creative....

As the principle handed us our diplomas, each student slipped him a
buck. Hey, it only cost a dollar and it seemed (to us) to be good humor.
Hmmm... wonder what he did with that $250...

May I suggest this book.



The book is SENIOR PRANK. You can download it on Amazon.com. It is an edgy, politically incorrect, humorous, young adult novel. There is no hardback at this time; maybe at a later date. It is also downloadable on Ipad, Barnes and Noble Nook, Sony Reader Store, etc. Only 2.99. Guaranteed to make you laugh your butt off or money back. Adults will enjoy the many Elvis references in the book.



Here’s the plot…Elvis McGraw wants to go out with a bang. He wants to deliver a senior prank that will go down in history. He recruits two of his fellow classmates, Jose Hernandez and Lamont Sheen, to assist him with his plan. When Thomas Jefferson High School, of Houston, Texas, their school, is nominated for the title of All American School, the trio sees an opening to leave their mark.



The governor and judges in the All American School competition visit the school but at every turn they encounter another prank or practical joke. The biggest prank they pull comes into play when their chemistry experiment accidentally produces a potion that can change personalities. They turn the quietest student in the class to a loud mouthed ghetto thug. They turn the National Honor Society representative to an intelligence challenged valley girl. They turn the class preppie president into a redneck, and the school’s macho jock into a flamboyant gay male. It gets even more wacko from there.



Thanks.
