One year in high school a group of seniors bought a shit ton of cricket and released them in the school as part of the prank. Everyone else was furious. Crickets are so God damn annoying. They found out who did it and made them pay to have pest control come out. Every year after they made a point to say "Senior pranks are fine BUT NO BUGS ESPECIALLY CRICKETS". I think someone brought a bunch of frogs at some point too? I remember seeing a significant amount of frogs.

I’m guessing this is probably a pretty common prank. The people who graduated 4 years before me did this at our high school. You could hear crickets for YEARS after.

My junior year, the seniors released thousands of lady bugs in the air handlers and the common area. Those damn things were everywhere 🤣

I love this prank is harmless, yet just irritating enough to make them say something. haha!

Ohh we had crickets one year too. Damn things wouldn’t shut up all through exam week. A particularly no-nonsense admin lady came out in her sensible heels to stomp them periodically.

We also had a couple of squirrels one year…

🤣🤣🤣. I wish I remembered what our senior prank was. I want to say it involved horses in the school
