When I was in high school a bunch of us loved playing pranks and tricks. We must have been unusual because we had a standing rule that none of our jokes could do real damage to property or harm people.

As to vandalism, I despise it. I consider vandalism worse than theft. At least the thief obtains something of value. I would also punish vandalism much more strictly.

I once took a course in park design and one of the things covered was how to avoid vandalism. The thing which really struck me was the book stated that vandalism in parks was practically unknown before WWII.

I always wondered what occurred around that time to make the change in society.

At my old high school, someone rewired the speakers in the auditorium and played "Amother Brick In The Wall" during an assembly.
