Spring and imminent graduation motivates a deluge of misplaced chairs and desks, mass running through halls, aluminum foil, duct tape, toilet paper, post-it notes, balloons and bouncy balls. Reportedly these activities create a senior class legacy.
Notable this year was the Portland Prom Prankster, receiving legendary hoax status through media attention (including the
Portland Examiner.com and
Smoking Gun.)
In case you missed it, a mass mailing on purloined school letterhead (condom enclosed) advised parents to provide prom-goers alcohol, including recommendations on amount. Excerpt:
"The Oregon Liquor Control Commission has stated that a fifth of alcohol, like Hennessey Cognac, is sufficient supply for at least eight adults. One can assume that for 17 to 18 year old individuals, one fifth can probably be spread out to four students. Considering our reputation (Drinkin' Lincoln), in some cases one fifth is only enough for a single person."
No further reports of the Oregon hoaxster being identified or suffering customary (sans criminal charges) senior prank punishment: banishment from senior trip or walking graduation.
