Senior Prank Well Executed
Posted Thursday, May 21, 2009, at 10:17 AM<< Previous | Read comments | Respond | Email link | Next >>
Members of the Greencastle High School Thespians pulled an intelligent, non-destructive and well-executed senior prank this week. This group took a bunch of old desks that have been stacked in McAnally and filled teacher spots in the parking lot by spelling out 2009.
They also set up desks on the football field representing players. They piled dozens of desks in the Assistant Principal's parking spot knowing that as the school disciplinarian, he could take a joke. The office staff apparently didn't find humor in the prank and those who executed it were sternly lectured and had to wash down all the desks before school. Considering some of the many pranks that have taken place in schools all over the country, my hat is off to those who planned and executed this prank. Here are a couple of recently reported pranks in Indiana. One group of kids took six pigs and spray painted (with non-toxic paint) the numbers 1,3,4,5,6, and 7 on them. They let them loose in the school and had fun watching furious administrators try to find number two. That one is fairly harmless. A couple of these were not. At another school dozens of containers of petroleum jelly were purchased by a senior class who put the jelly on computer mice, doorknobs, cabinet handles, desk seats, toilets and endless other places. Not too smart since they had to touch it all too and pay for damages. Another group bought hundreds of metal forks and stuck them all over the school grounds with the prongs facing up. This one was just plain dangerous and couple of kids were arrested. One class took coins with 2009 printed on them and super glued them all over things in the school. They don't come off. The best senior pranks are memorable and unique without being dangerous or criminal. So, congratulations on the your prank GHS Thespians. And to the class of 2009--Godspeed!

well at least Greencastle kids feel they can do a prank, at south they won't even let the seniors have a water gun fight in the parking lot after the last day
kinda hard to have a water gun fight when you maintain a zero tolerance position on guns. Got to be politically correct don't cha know!
I don't think the custodians who moved the desks before the beginning of school would share your view.
ahhhh...for the good old days of the 70s when we could let 2000 crickets loose @ CHS and only get a 2 day vacation.
Come on people...their prank was harmless not to mention funny!!
Yes...
Hundreds BB's and bottle caps dumped down a hallway along with crickets. A pig let loose down another hall and goldfish in the pool. Not a thing wrong with any of these thing, they are harmless.
