Senior Pranks

Many students have noticed the lack of senior pranks in the class of 2011. While administrators revel in their absence, students find the punishable exploits highly amusing. Chantilly has a long history of senior pranks. Students and teachers relate some pranks that have stood out from this year and years past and made a statement.

HALLWAY SCOOTER RACE: “I was sitting in my physics classroom and then we all just hear these gigantic yells coming from outside so we all rush out. There was this huge crowd around four guys riding scooters down the hallway in the senior section. The security people were running after them,” junio r Kimberly Hanes said.
“We all met up after getting excused from our classes and we got our scooters from our friend’s car. We had a path planned out and we scootered on the path. Then we left… [and] soon found out we were getting in trouble for it,” senior Brandan Saa said. “It was totally worth it.”

FAKE MUSTACHES: “It was a collaborative effort between the guys of choir during the Holiday Spectacular to have a little fun with the show. The musical directors were not pleased with it but everyone else thought it was hilarious,” senior Greg Garcia said.

HALLWAY DANCE PARTY: “Someone took a bunch of doors at the end of the English hallway and glued pennies into the lock holes so that you couldn’t lock or unlock the door. It was a big chaotic scene in the morning. It was a couple years ago, maybe class of 2008. Then it took the custodians forever to get the penny out of the lock; it took awhile to get the classrooms open. I think they meant it in jest but it ended up being really annoying for those teachers who were involved. I think [the people involved] were suspended,” English teacher Nicole Lehman said. “The custodians [had] to clean them up. That’s where it gets irreverent, selfish, [and] irresponsible. They’re not thinking about the consequences, that it’s funny for them but there are people who have to clean up after them who don’t deserve to.”
