School traditions

[fell]

I have my last day of high school EVER tomorrow...
so we have had a few end of year activities organised throughout this week.
one of them is the traditional 'milk run'
and I thought you lot might be interested on an athletic basis...

Competitor instructions:

1.Dress appropriately




2.Drink a bottle of uniquely coloured food dye



3.Drink a litre of milk followed by a mouthful of lemon juice



4.run a lap of the school drive



5.Drink another litre of milk+lemon juice. Run another lap of the drive etc until you vomit.







Then you are out of the race



Winner is the last man standing.



not this man:



So what other traditional 'tests of strength' did your high school/other institution provide? Any advice for my last day?[/b]

ha ha ha thats ducking hilarious

we did a three legged race round the quad and up to the porters lodge

duckin lame

then we loudhailed the Latin classes

then we went to the pub

[fell]

err yes so far we have just used airhorns whenever it appears learning is to commence.

and someone stole the principals licence plates and hid them in a mystery locker.
And only left the principal a treasure map leading to riddles revealing the location of the locker, and eventually mathematical equations which would reveal the lock code. took him all morning.
Had to borrow a students calculator.

oh and bubble-bathed the fountain near school.

but nothing too outrageous.

think the norwegians go a bit mental when they leave school: two weeks of partying wearing customised red (usually) boiler suits, driving round in huge red buses all day with tunes pumping and doing challenges - can't remember what but along the lines of the milk challenge. Think the average student spends around £2500 on it, and 60% of Norwegians lose their virginity in that fortnight! ***

superb robbo - good to see the youngsters still know how to have fun!!!

yeah - our last day was a bit lame (mind you it was that long ago, i don't really remember it)
downside of being family friends with the vice principal.

on the plus side, he did call the entire year into the lecture theatre a proceed with a slideshow thoroughly embarassing his nephew. what a good guy.

we also spent a few months sending love notes to one of the other VPs from a guy in class. she even came looking for him at our social to ask him to dance.

other than that, there was something involving nakedness and drinkin beer from a babies bottle. but my therapist won't let me talk about that.

we got sent home early for having signatures on our school shirts. crazy

[brooner]

yup, can't quite remember what we did but we were sent home really early too, i remember this as it meant wasting time quite a bit of time until the pubs opened at midday!!!

Our head's bmw was for sale quite cheaply in the paper for a few days preceding leaving, we had the usual messy food & water fighting antics, apart from that i don't have a clue.

Eddie, that really is lame - at least we had a party on the school bus and arrived absolutely mullered. Gone are the days when Bill Oddie and his mates diverted the traffic off the Bristol Road and through the school grounds, charging them a toll for charity.

(Not sure I fancy the milk run though)

[Domhnull Mor]

Oh how I wish something like that went on when I left school. In reality, though, sweet FA happened as we all kind of drifted away after our last exams. I just happened to be the only one in my year to have an exam the day after the end of school party. Mind you, two days before that someone (shall remain nameless) decided to fall off the garden rockery and ended up in hospital so I ended up being "mother" for the whole of that week. Still never had a proper "end-of-school" blow-out.....
Here's wishing.

i got sent home on my last day with a couple of others as soon as we arrived cos they were convinced that we were going to do some of the things we started rumours about. good day in the pub though

[rob f]

I'm getting ideas now...

[Lizi Beee]

We had to have a lesson, then we had a leavers assembly - in which i think pretty much everyone cried, yes even the guys - then foam fight on the field... that got quite violent though so most of us girlies ran away cos we had to get ready for prom that night too...

100m of power and signal cable playing a customised "radio channel" [inc insults and supercheese] on cd from a walkman in the attic above the common room to the attic above a classroom in another part of the school, and a radio-link minicam to a tv. in the common room to watch his reaction all day. Saddly I only played a minimal part in the assemblage...

Wasn't me that put their foot through the roof of a corridor though

[P2B]

We planted a bus stop in the cricket pitch, wrote rude words with weed killer on the soccer pitch (not sure of the outcome of that one as we'd left) and the head boy managed to get a goat from somewhere and graze it on the grass outside the head's office - grazing a goat was his 'privilege' in the history of our school.

Seems a bit silly now - I like the milk run idea - sounds more cohesive than random vandalism!

8000 balloons later and the principal had to climb in through the window...
