Many students make inside jokes or pranks with their closest friends whenever they have a chance to do so. When walking down the halls at Fleetwood, you hear a lot of friends laughing and talking. Between classes, students get the chance to socialize with their friends. But not all the jokes and pranks happen outside of school. Many senior classes in many high schools have instituted yearly senior pranks.
Graduating classes often credit the tradition of the senior prank with a desire for their class to be remembered. Some have made the news, some have been very complex, but most are just irresponsibile.
One example of a simple prank is when students walk up and down the library stacks dressed as Pac-Man and other characters from the classic game. The seniors played a real simulated game of Pac-Man with the library as the maze.
Another prank that isput together well by students is called Letter Men. Underclassmen wore a single letter, each in a different color. The students in the senior class wore a shirt with a different letter. The joke was all about spelling ridiculous words and running past people with something like a D, O, R, and K on four friends’ shirts.
A prank that took a long time to complete was called The State Flower. It is illegal to dig up the state flower in the state. One senior class planted the state flower all over school grounds so that the school was unable to dig the flowers up out of the ground.
Students have even parked their cars into such a tight circle that, if you had to get into the building, you would need to climb over cars to reach the school. Students have also parked their cars in a complicated maze so that faculty and students had to work their way through the maze to get to the building.
Some seniors thought it would be funny to take chairs outside and post a note on the front of the school door that said to meet outside. Groups of chairs were numbered by room.
For anyone who reads this article, The Tiger Times does not recommend that you try any of these pranks. Most involved criminal activity of some sort and participating students acquired criminal records.

Our youngest daughter graduated from Kutztown, so we drove through Fleetwood all the time. We are fans of the famous Camel on FB. I like seeing what’s happening via Tiger updates.
Senior Pranks
I taught at Methacton HS for 33 yrs. This article was fun to read and the writer is correct about dangerous/illegal pranks. The best one I ever heard was at North Penn HS. Seniors came in with thousands of plastic forks, stuck them in every conceiveable inch of earth and posted signs: Stick a fork in us. We’re done! Even my friend, Principal Burton Hynes, thought it was a terrific prank. No one was hurt. It was funny. It really captured the feeling of the seniors. And when Principal Hynes made an announcement that ALL forks would be removed by the next day, they were! No harm. No foul. A happy LOL prank to remember for many years!
Your writers do a good job. I was an English teacher. Kudos!
