On Sept. 6, 1984, members of the senior class pulled a prank where they glued pennies to campus door locks, put grease on the Falcon mosaic in the quad, painted derogatory signs on walls and put toilet paper and real estate signs up.

The seniors involved had been planning this for weeks; however, the janitorial staff cleaned up the mess before a majority of the student body saw it, according to then-assistant principal Karen Franza (later known as Karen Hyde).

Outraged by the incident, the administration threatened two possible courses of action: a classwide $500 fine or cancellation of the senior-sponsored dance in February.
Senior class president Adrienne Gallmesier, along with seniors Lori Campbell, Lori Christopher and Melanie Cornwell held a See’s Candy fundraiser and a raffle to pay the fine, though the punishment was never officially implemented by the administration, according to the story.
