This made me think of a senior prank that happened when I was in high
school, although it was not my senior class. The seniors planted
tulip bulbs so that they formed the numbers of their senior year (99)
in the front yard of the school. They timed this so that the bulbs
would bloom near the end of their senior year. As far as I know, none
of the admin was upset, as it was obviously non-destructive.

We had a senior prank a couple of years back that was very demoralizing.
While hearing it discussed by sophomores in the library, I was able to
plant
the seed that pranks don't need to be destructive. If they wanted to
leave
their mark, why not do something that makes people feel good? That
group
began brainstorming ideas like getting into all the classrooms and
leaving
flowers on the teachers desks, etc. In the end, this class hasn't done
any
sort of prank (yet), but I like to think my words made some sort of
difference based on the direction that conversation went. It's too late
to
right this wrong, but maybe a seed could be planted for future
classes....
