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 bathroom doors in all the houses except for Fleming.
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.
We 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.”
Bringing vitamin C to the skurves.
We saved a few bags of oranges to throw off of the roof simply for the fun of it.
Mission accomplished.
Dabney:
We kidnapped the giant teddy bears that reside in their lounge and hung them from the roof. Housing was not pleased.
Putting them in plastic bags was necessary since it was raining.
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.
File under: Alternative uses for electrical tape.
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.
Making the cutout.
Transporting it all the way up to Avery. It was one of those rare, rainy nights, so Merida got the garbage bag treatment.
Attempting to get on the dining hall rafters.
Blacker:
To throw off the blame from Blacker, we also pranked ourselves by putting up these flyers in the hovse.
