Senior Prank

[Raydain]

I go to a small K-12 with just over 600 students (very small school, I know). The traditional senior prank at my school has gotten out of control. In the early years of the school, students would break their way in through the roof or steal a key to the school to get in at night. However in the past 3-4 years the faculty has begun to set rules on restricting the prank. No longer do students have to force their way in. The faculty now lets the students in and watches everything they do. It’s basically gone from a prank to decorating the school. It’s hardly worth doing anymore. Now this year, the administration has talked to us about stopping the prank altogether because it “disrespects” the school. Worst part is, my class seems to agree with the administration. My grade is not very cunning or stealthy in any way. If we were to do a senior prank it would be at the last minute without preparation.

I have decided to bring back long lost tradition. Me and a group of about 6 have started our recon. work on the school. Tonight we went around the school looking for possible ways in and escape routes.

- The Security system -
+ We discovered that there are motion sensors in the hallways set with silent alarms.
+ Classrooms have no alarms
+ There are timed lights around the building that are periodic.
+ The roof has sunroofs all over the school but they are double paned --- One bubble on top and another one about
three feet down.
+ There is construction on one side of the building with open doors but they may be blocked by the time the prank comes around.
+ Possible video cameras on the outside of the building (Haven’t found any yet. This may be a rumor)
+ We have not explored everything on the roof or outside yet.

I am open for ideas on how to get in, get around the motion sensors, and what we should do for the prank.
What else do we need to look into before pulling something off? (Timing how long it takes for cops to get there etc.)

Brainstorm OOT.

[Spaded]

Tranquilizer darts?
Smoke grenades?
Elaborate hand signals?
Cyanide pills?

While one of my friends was in highschool he and some friends left whole milk in ventilation duct for about 6 months. What it turned into they christened (odlly enough) "oot". Then they filled water baloons with it and threw them at kids during a darkened school dance.

our senior prank was a good one. crickets. a few boxes of female crickets and a few boxes of male crickets.

all the underclassmen thought we were lame for not doing anything (no one knew what we had done). when they came back after labor day, i heard there was one hell of a cricket infestation. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

You need some of those Ninja smoke pellets, a pack of cigs, two balls of twine, one stick of gum, a lightbulb, 4 paperclips, old tennis shoe and a Swiss Army Knife.

All this stuff makes something really cool.

MACGYVER STYLE!

check this out: there is a device for smoking weed that you can get at any head shop. it is an electric pipe that blows smoke in your mouth. there is a bowl and then a fan etc... i don't remeber the exact logistics of the pipe, but they do exist. here's what we did. roll a blunt, remove the bowl and put the blunt in the tubing near the bowl. turn the device on, put it in a locker, light a candle, and position it in such a way that when it burns dow to a certain point it will light the blunt. at this point copious amounts of pot smoke will be blown throughout the hallway.
this does work, just try it at home first so you perfect the process. device costs about $30.

[deacsoft]

That's a watse of a perfectly good blunt.

[dibbs]

That ish is messed up.

Is it cattle that can walk up stairs but cant walk down?
If you know where the motion sensors are, (and most are pretty visible in the corners of the hallways where the ceiling meets the wall), try and get some cattle upstairs.
I dont remember if it is cows or not,some farm animal anyways, you can force them upstairs, but they can't walk downstairs. The school will pretty much have to blow open a wall and lift them out with a crane.

Yea I need sleep.

In all seriousness, whatever you do, get a scanner with all your towns police and fire frequencies programmed into it, that way if it gets messy, you can probably get out unscathed by the icy hands of the law.

I like the old prank where you turn 7 pigs loose in the school numbered 1,2,3,5,6,7,8.

[Evan]

WTF? It's [censored] July!

[poker-penguin]

Horses don't walk down stairs.

The numbered animals are great fun - chickens are harder to catch and easier to obtain than pigs though.

You've clearly never tried to catch a pig.

Too many people know this one. You're going to have to skip two or three numbers. I'd go for at least 1,2,3,5,6,8,9.

Where the hell do you rednecks gets pigs?

Anyway went to a school much like the one you are describing and when I was junior the seniors got some old junk car in the middle of the hallway slashed up the tires, filled the inside with water and put about 30 gold fish in there. Then they chained and locked the doors from the inside and climbed out a window onto the roof and then jumped down.

The next day I got to school and they sent us all home.

I think this is the key to any Senior Prank, make sure the other classes are very excited about it, especially when they expect something lame like you have described.

Aren't you from Texas? I grew up smack in the middle of Houston and I had a pet pig growing up, at least until the neighbors complained citing an anti-swine ordnance. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Anyway, the point was you can drive 20 minutes out of Houston and there are signs along the highway with piglets for sale. I just saw one in South Austin too a couple of weeks ago.

[mmbt0ne]

We painted all the main roads around the school with "Seniors 2003." Right after we graduated in 2002. Guess who had to clean the roads.

[djoyce003]

Not sure what your school mascot is, but a great prank we did was welding some *equipment* onto the school mustang statue out front...this would work with virtually any mascot statue, unless you are something lame like the "red tide".

[CollinEstes]

Yeah I grew up in Houston but in the city, never had a pig but I was just kidding around, I know it could be done.


My class got the key to the breaker room in the school and then we proceeded to break off all the breakers super glue the box closed, break the key off in the door and climb out the window, which we then super glued.

The next day we get to the school expecting to go home and then lights were back and the teachers where acting like nothing happened. It turned out we forgot that with those tiled celings you could climb over the wall.

[jakethebake]

Where'd you go to High School?

[CollinEstes]

If you got balls you can use a window cutter to cut your way into the school or just make a small hole in the hall way and drop in all kinds of wildlife. Crickets like the other guy said are hard as hell to get rid of.

[CollinEstes]

Kempner in Sugar Land for my first two years. Then I went to Houston Christian for my last two.

We moved into the Heights area and I didn't want to go to HISD school.

[BZ_Zorro]

[censored] the building. Hire a grader or bobcat and [censored] up their lawn.

If tradition demands it be inside, you can never, ever go wrong with porn. The nasty stuff. Fat hairy women. [censored] porn. golden showers. This stuff is GOLD. They have a library don't they? They have sign in books. They have student files. They have teaching materials. It's gonna be fat hairy nasty woman surprise day for the next year.

[-Skeme-]

My old school's mascot was Bruin. They had a huge carving of it, trapped in a giant cage thing, that sat at the front of the school. The bear's pose had it standing on it's hind legs, paws up, and snarling.

Anyway, me and a friend of mine scooped up some horse [censored] into a plastic bag and hung it off the bear's teeth. It was hilarious.

Yes, "balls" are what you need to have to be an idiot vandal pulling a stupid prank.

I went to Houston Lee before it went downhill. I hear it's really bad now. Funny. My dad lives in Sugar land, and my mom lives in the heights.

Are there sensors on the classroom windows? Do they open? Are they locked? Do they get locked every night or does the janitor overlook them? Test it out. This seems like your most likely entrance without detection. What hours do the janitors work? What nights are other events happening in the school?

Motion detectors can be rendered useless if you can get cardboard over them before the alarm is set. That might be too obvious. Unless you cut down the cardboard to fit into the window of the sensor. It would be almost undetectable if it looked like the sensor. Have an alarm with a motion detector at home? Play with it. If you can't block it. You'll have to move either really slow (to avoid setting off the detectors) or really fast (to avoid getting caught).

Want to know how long it'll take the cops to show up? Find a way to trip the alarm (maybe one of the windows) and see how long they take to show up.

I could probably help you get in. I'll leave the actual prank ideas to everyone else.

We pranked our school good my senoir year.

All the seniors met in the front parking lot and we went out to the hills and had a party.

I think 7 kids were in senior classes that day.

Pranks are lame. Besides, you aren't pissing off the school, you're making an assload of work for the janitorial crew.

That's called senior skip day. Everyone does that in addition to the prank.

wow, this reminded me of something I totally forgot about. It wasn't a senior prank or anything, but we had trophy cases in school in the hall ways, and I found a 'way' to get them open, and I strategically placed porn inside of them, some of it stayed in place for over a week. Good stuff.

[Shajen]

nah, we had that too.

pranks are lame. I mean, no one ever does a good one.

It's this lame put crickets in the ventillation and [censored].

Who cares? Congratulations, you're a senior. Now go get a [censored] job!

Not at a small school you aren't, our janitoral crew consisted of one dude and he went home when he saw that car in the hallway.

[samjjones]

IMO, senior pranks are lame. Everybody is going to forget about high school two seconds after graduating anyway, so why go through the trouble? In 10 years, there is a 33% chance you'll want to blow off your reunion anyway.

[slickpoppa]

You could put marbles in the hallway so that a teacher who is 7 months preganant falls. That one went over real well at my high school.

[CollinEstes]

The night me and my friends got almost got busted doing our senior prank is something the me and my friends still laugh about today, 5 year later.

We had a bird we were going to release in addition to some other stuff and my friends dad found the bird in his car so he had to make up some story and they keep it. They still have that bird, his name is pete, and I laugh everytime I see that dam thing.

[usmfan]

Try this book here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0312078102/qid=1122391582/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/103-4181518-8534219?v=glance&s=books&n=507846) for some more intelligent pranks. Try not be dickish about what you do (lots of expensive personal property damage, etc.).

as a variation, if there are a group of teachers or administrators that are pretty important/prominent, you could get n-1 animals and label them with names (if Jones, Smith, Black and Chang are four deans at the school, get three pigs labeled with Jones, Smith and Black).
make sure it's pretty obvious that one name is unaccounted for, though.

Google (http://www.radioshack.com/search.asp?cookie%5Ftest=1&find=frequency+police+s canner&site) is your friend. That is where I found this.

Good story.

[miajag81]

My friends and I had a plan to tape down the triggers on air horns with duct tape and throw them over the front wall of school into the little courtyard that the classrooms faced. Unfortunately Columbine happened a couple weeks before I graduated, and we realized the administration would probably look none too kindly on kids throwing grenade- or pipebomb-sized objects over the school. So, that didn't happen, but some kid did set loose a bunch of mice at the graduation ceremony.

[AceHiStation]

You could always paint over the numbers on all the students locks... or what my roommate did, change the school welcome sign and put a new lock on the case. His read:

XXX
Live Nudes
18 to party
21 to drink
