As I rode away on the bus I often would wonder how they cleaned that all up, then I figured they had leaf blowers back then.
Lord of the Flies.
Back in college they would do the senior prank thing. It ended when I was a sophomore. The seniors broke into the science lab building, plugged all of the sinks and drains on the ground floor and turned all of the water on. I don’t recall if it was for all night or the weekend, but millions of dollars of damage to the building and equipment.
And this was 40 years ago at a top-notch engineering school.
They put a stop to any type of those “prank” days after that.
Early 1970’s graduate, no pranks.
Do I need to look?
Easy solution: Prosecute the students (since it is known who was given the keys to the school) and fire the principal who let them go in after hours without supervision.
Um, unless the perps and the principal are from a protected race (which the kids appear to be), so never mind….
Like letting farm animals loose and not expecting them to defecate on everything.
Pranks used to reflect ingenuity and intelligence. Putting a cow on the roof or something. This is just vandalism reflecting their level of intellect. Hell they couldn’t even do it without a principal assisting them.
Weak.
The goal used to be for the prank to be discovered and leave people wondering how the hell they did that. Not be given a key from the principal and just do destruction. Fools.
In high school we turned a teachers Volkswagen Bug sideways in it’s parking spot & ran a couple of pair of panties up the flag pole.
I have seen some senior pranks that were clever without being destructive such as hiring a mariachi band to follow the principal around all day, or buying an old car cutting a slot in it and slide it around the flag pole.
These students are (most likely) 18 and are adults. They will soon learn what they did was not a “prank” but vandalism, a crime. Unfortunately a lot of the “pranks” posted on youtube are vandalism, and with all the cameras on school property (and recording themselves do it) they are caught and face real world consequences. At most a criminal record and jail time at least having to pay to fix everything they broke.
The sad thing is they are allowed to vote!
What could possibly go wrong?
Giving money and power to government is like giving liquor and car keys to teenage boys. - P. J. O’Rourke
Pranks? This is just vandalism.
We synchronized dropping heavy textbooks exactly on the half hour. No harm or damage but the disruption got some who organized this “the talk”.
They probably run successful businesses nowadays.
I saw a tire that had been put around a flag pole.
Several guys rode open piped motorcycles down the hall.
The best was when someone filled the A/C chiller full of dish washing soap. It was one of those big outdoor units that runs water inside through slats. There are pictures in the yearbook of cars covered with bubbles.
The principals assets and pension should pay for some repairs.
Allowing the chimpanzees to run the joint. Good prank. sarc/
the principal doesn’t look right out of her eyes
