Senior prank

Senior prank

A senior prank is a type of organized prank pulled by the senior class of a school, college, or university to cause chaos throughout the institution. The pranks are usually carried out at the end of the senior school year as a going away mark on the school.

It is common for those leaving a school to go out in a "blaze of glory", with various kinds of mischief conducted on their last day which may encompass damage to school property. This is especially true in high school when the graduating class participates in "senior pranks". This is known in Australia and some other countries as "muck-up day" (probably bowdlerised).Fact|date=February 2008 However, the "Muck-up Day" has slowly become less popular in Australia, mostly in New South Wales, after some students from schools have taken pranks too far, resulting in arrests and large fines.Fact|date=February 2008However, some slightly less major pranks are still performed. Examples are putting small polystyrene balls in the air conditioning, thus making it 'snow' in the building, prank public announcements, chalk graffiti, filling elevators with hay or spreading bird seed in the staff parking lot to attract birds that then defecate on the cars.Fact|date=February 2008

A popular prank is known as the "Pig Prank". The pranksters gather three pigs, chickens or sheep and label each 1, 2, and 4. The staff, not necessarily knowing there are only three pigs, will then spend the rest of the day searching for pig #3.
