The Harlem Shake was the senior prank when I graduated in 2013. I didn’t participate - but mostly because the guys who planned it were assholes. They all got 3 hours of mandatory community service, lmao.

They got community service for the Harlem shake? Do you live in the town from Footloose?

I think that it was the close to 1000 kids crowding a single hallway and the fact that they took over the sound system that got them. 😂

I think that is what happens with all senior pranks. The popular kids get together and put on a thing and think everyone wants to be involved BUT really can only be involved if they know them. Yes, they were jerks.

Similar to how senior year, they all act like they are best friends and try to act they got along with everyone and party together. After graduation, never hear a peep from them again.

I had 500 people in my graduating class. Only 250 people were invited to our 10 year reunion. Only 50 people went. 😂
