Senior Prank!
When a special mid-morning announcement lured the community to the Sackett Forum in the Schoolhouse on May 26, students didn't know what to expect.
Sheer surprise and joy spread quickly as the Sixth Formers, announcing their senior prank, sent everyone out to the Circle to play.
Sheer surprise and joy spread quickly as the Sixth Formers, announcing their senior prank, sent everyone out to the Circle to play.
Lawn games, a bouncy house, an inflatable water tunnel, and an ice cream truck greeted them. With music blasting from two large speakers, the 2016 senior prank was quickly in full swing.
Seniors had gotten the approval of the headmaster to hold the impromptu carnival, but few others were in on the surprise. The Form of 2016, with graduation ten days away, had planned the prank together secretly. Senior prefect Varsha Harish '16 said they were inspired by a senior prank from three years ago, when a bouncy house stood in the Schoolroom and carnival games were inside and out.
On this spring day, temperatures in the 80s demanded outdoor activity, and students were eager to comply. They changed into bathing suits and shorts, skipped most of their classes, and spent much of the day playing and lounging.
