As the year comes to a close, seniors start thinking about the schemes that will mark their time in CCHS history. While planning pranks, seniors beware, as Principal Larry Steiger warns, “You will not walk if you do a senior prank.” However, there have been many senior pranks in the past, only few have been remembered.
Librarian Mitzie Neugebauer stated, “Last year they stole all the clocks, but we didn’t notice the kids taking them. Also I remember the kids put chickens in the book drop of the library one year.” In order for seniors to be remembered their pranks have to be clever, yet not harmful.
Assistant principal, Kelly Morehead remembers a year where 3 chickens, numbered 1,2, and 4, were let loose in the halls, and everyone was looking for the “missing chicken” number 3.
Many teachers did not recall doing a senior prank while they were in high school. Although Mitzie Neugebauer did not participate in a prank, she implies, “When being an on-coming senior, the graduating seniors would throw you into the river. It was more of a tradition in the school I graduated from.”
The most memorable senior prank at CCHS, according to staff, was when Humphrey the camel was stolen and hung on the overpass over Highway 59. This prank was harmful to our CCHS image and was frowned upon. While being harmful, the prank was very much remembered, but for the wrong reasons.
Senior Pranks do not have to happen in order for a class to be remembered, and if put into action, they should not be inappropriate, destructive or harmful. There are good and bad memories of these schemes and they will be taken down into history, thanks to our CCHS alumni.

I think that senior pranks should be allowed but only in a positive manner to positively affect the school and not reflect a negative image to the town.
