We had kind of a three-part senior prank back in 2010. I was only a junior but almost all my friends and boyfriend were graduating, so I participated as if I was, too. One part was brilliant, one part was hilarious, and one part was just so mean I almost felt bad, but the best part was it all done solely by people within my own little social circle.
The first part was a couple of my friends in the automotive class (there was an optional vocational school attached to my high school and we had an automotive program) brilliantly managed to get the nicest car in the auto program, this gorgeous souped-up 60s Corvette, in to the middle of the lunch room. They did it the night before and so the next morning when everyone walked in to the school, the first thing you saw was this crime scene-like tape wrapped around the lunch room with a fucking Corvette in the middle of the room, all the teachers just standing around in shock. Needless to say everyone had to eat outside that day.
Then, during first period, me, my then-boyfriend, and three of my friends ditched class and hung up hundreds of these posters we'd made. We'd spent the last two weeks drawing up these propaganda-style posters of our principal as Hitler, with this awful but hilarious slogan we'd made up printed in bright red over it. We hung them up everywhere--over every classroom door, all over the walls, inside the bathrooms and teacher's lounge, outside the school, etc. I know, I know, it's awful, but I even had a teacher say to me, "Well, the comparison isn't all that far off..."
Then lastly, right before lunch, my then-boyfriend and some of my friends released pigeons and mice all over the school, probably about two-dozen pigeons and I don't know how many mice. How they got the pigeons, I will never know, but I've never laughed so hard in my life.
Of course, we all got in to massive trouble when they found out it was us (a couple of my automotive friends even had criminal charges pressed for the car thing and I almost got charged with inciting a riot for the poster thing, which makes zero sense to me), but it was so worth it.
