Ok so basically, quick run down of my school.
Senior pranks before ours were pretty bad, the best before ours was putting hundreds of crickets in the halls of the schools.....the rest were just awful, like writing on the wall with washable chalk class of 08.....
Anyways, our school graduates between 140 and 150 depending on if its a good year..... There is 4 grades in our school so roughly 600 kids. Before the bell at 7:45, everyone who comes to school (on time) waits in one hallway, which has two entrances. So between 7:35 and 7:45 the hallway gets around 500 kids (usually about 50-100 are absent/tardy etc....) Now the hallway is fairly small, I mean 500 people in it, and you gotta push people to get through if you really wanna go somewhere. Most people just chill and wait for the bell. I'd say the hallway is about 12-15 feet wide and 120 meters long (comparing to a 100m in track). Now that you have an idea of the school, here comes the prank.
We had a marching band of all seniors walk down the hall during first period having all the other seniors behind us, and we played "Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye" and the seniors not playing sang. (AlexK. has one pic from that). All the teachers and administrators thought that was our senior prank. This was the day before the last, and in years past everyone skips the last so all pranks are done the day before the last. They stopped watching us then, because they figured it was over. We all knew that it wasn't over. We had a better prank.
That night a bunch of us, probably 30, all met at the local walmart, to buy water balloons, and other supplies. If any faculty member walked in and saw us, they would have known something serious was going on, but thank god for most faculty living out of the area! We proceeded to fill approximately 1000 water balloons (well a pack of 1000 but you always get a few duds so roughly maybe 990?). I filled some for about an hour, then someone else took over, etc. We then proceeded to buy super soakers, and outfits, of either cowboys or indians. We called everyone that was a senior, and everyone knew what was going on.
The next morning at school, its tradition that the seniors go to school at 6am and have a barb-q in the parking lot, under the supervision of a teacher, so we did. There was probably 80 out of the 140 graduating there. The teacher sat off to the side reading a paper and said, "its your day, not mine, have fun" We then started painting our bodies, dressing up, etc.
Its now 7:30, 15 minutes before school and the first buses start coming in. We are up to about 100 out of the 140 of seniors outside, all dressed up as indians or cowboys. My mother, who works for the school, was outside taking pictures. I told her we were going to have a water balloon fight on the football field, so she figured cool, i'll take pics (so NSers knows it happened!)
At this point, a few kids bring out coolers, and I'm thinking oh shit they have beer, we're gonna get in trouble because damn, we are on school grounds. WRONG. They had over 400 more water balloons! It's now about 7:35, and we all gather around one area, and get a gameplan. We were sending one Indian through the school at the front, to open the back door which was locked. He would casually walk, no big deal. Then the Indians would proceed to enter in the back of the school firing water balloons and squirting people, while the Cowboys entered the front of the school (remember only 2 entrances to the hall where well over 300 kids are at this point). He goes through, opens the door, and all hell breaks loose. 1400 water balloons, a few buckets of 5 gallons of water dumped, 50 super soakers emptied, and it was tie between the cowboys and indians, but a win for the seniors. We managed to get everyone wet, including the principal (who actually slipped and fell down, the only person out of everyone in the school) and the vice principal.
After this, the usher everyone into a different hall, while the 100 of us are still dressed up. Some kids got nervous and changed clothes, but a good 60 of us were still very well dressed up. We walk up to class, and most teachers applauded us, and said that was awesome. The day goes on, and one by one seniors are called down to the office. Mind you, I was wearing a headpiece with feathers, an indian dress, and face paint all day long. I refused to change for gym even. One by one rumors go by about kids getting in trouble. Most of us don't really care because, hell, there was 100 of us! They make 100 out of 140 not walk the stage at graduation. We then get word that they are suspending kids. OHHH I was sooooo scared. Suspended on the last day. They never called me down. Apparently our school has cameras, and they only take still shots every minute. So they used the still shots and only got those kids trouble in the still shot. It was about 15 kids they could tell (carrying water in from outside, the camera is on the outside). My one 'friend' Smida (pictured above with few teeth) got suspended for about 1 hour. It was a joke. At his graduation party he hung his suspension letter up for all his family to see.
So that was our prank, pretty decent, legal, no real punishment, and funny.
As for cleaning it up, we volunteered, but the janitor, Dave, said he had mop it up, which he mops that hallway every day anyway, and usually it takes him 5 minutes to mop, and that day it took him maybe 6. He said he laughed so hard watching us, he didn't mind the extra minute of work! And as for injuries, it was just water, no one got hurt, a few girls had to change their white shirts (+1 for senior boys) and the only person to fall who denys it was the vice principal, but a good deal of us saw her fall.........
Make what you want with my story, yeah it won't be on mtv as the best prank ever, but it was pretty decent, and really bonded our class.
