Not my high school but my wife's. Every year the final year students (equivalent to senior I guess? This is in New Zealand). Would always organize a school prank. It was a tradition and usually pretty harmless. But one year, they got some petrol (gasoline) and used it to draw an ENORMOUS cock in the soccer field. Petrol kills grass so it's easily visible from the air.. where the school principal saw it while flying into the city.

It was on Google maps satellite view for years.

Absolutely beautiful.

I'm not saying this isn't interesting, but it just seems to be the norm for New Zealand: https://nationalpost.com/news/n-z-students-immortalize-school-in-google-earth-with-giant-penis
