April Fools Day Pranks


The day before April 1, 2014, the frosh decided to prank all the houses to celebrate the upcoming occasion. Here’s the individual pranks:

Fleming:

We printed out flyers saying “Bathroom closed, please use the cannon” and put them on various bathrooms in every house.

This flyer was put on every single bathroom door in Fleming.

Ruddock:

We had an extra toilet that we wanted to get rid of,  so we put it on top of Ruddock with a lovely sign.

Lloyd:

Nothing. The plan was to prank Lloyd by not pranking them, to poke fun at the fact that Lloyd is known for not doing much. I don’t know if they ever realized they were the only house missing out.

Ricketts:

We took it upon ourselves to warn Ricketts hovse about the dangers of Scurvy, by putting up flyers with various facts about the disease. We also took steps to prevent it first hand, by providing the hovse with a plethora of oranges rich in vitamin C.

e gathered as many oranges as we could from the Orange Walk. The South House RLC walked by as we were standing around and in trees, shaking them, with oranges all over the ground. Thankfully an incredibly chill person, he walked away after we informed him it was “for science.”

 We kidnapped the giant teddy bears that reside in their lounge and hung them from the roof. Housing was not pleased.

Page:

We turned Page House into Rage House, changing all their murals that said “Page” into “Rage,” and giving most of the faces in their murals angry eyes.

Avery:

For Avery, we also decided to pun on the name, making it Bravery House. We made a poster of Merida, from Pixar’s Brave, and hung it from the rafters of Avery dining hall.

Blacker:

To throw off the blame from Blacker, we also pranked ourselves by putting up these flyers in the hovse.
