String tying together all the freshmen lockers

We carried a classmate's Miata and left it in the gym.

The most memorable one I know of was when I was a senior. Someone had the "brilliant" idea to buy thousands of crickets at the bait shop with the plan to release them in the freshman hallway. Unfortunately, genius that he was, he didn't make sure the transport containers were well sealed, so they all got out in his locker and then wandered out to infest the senior hallway. It was memorable but very gross. And in retrospect pretty entertaining for the cluelessness involved.

I feel like this one is a classic prank all across the country. Would kids even know how to set an alarm clock these days?

They could use their phones but no one would be willing to part with them!

They drive from DC to Philly & back for a sandwich, and give it to someone. (She is very cool "favorite" teacher & would not tattle).

The cheesesteak challenge!

My DS did the cheesecake challenge last year after talking about it for YEARS! I don't remember if they went to Pats/Genos or some other cheesesteak shop. Definitely silly, harmless fun.

That's great!

It doesn't really seal until properly heated.

30 years ago, at a local school that was undergoing renovations: some industrious seniors poured fresh cement in a dug-up courtyard, placed a (empty) keg in the cement and wrote "Class of '92, we're on tap!" in the cement.

Not particularly funny, but a ton of effort and so VERY 1992.

Senior keeps coming home with wild ideas of things they want to do b/c all of the seniors are doing it.

Spoke to my youngest friend (a teacher in their 20s, because I am ancient) and he laughed and said he did all of those things, but didn't tell his parents until after.

Any of this happening in your houses/schools?
