Cartoon By Ryan Theisen ’13 After months of shenani- gry, Seniors are stepping up their game and are preparing for an epic prank that should live on in Brophy history. The senior prank, which is run through the prestig- ious ‘Prank Committee’, is a time-honored tradi- tion. The Prank Commit- tee’s recommendations, which are of course sub- ject to approval from Dean Higgins, have just been released to the sen- iors. Faculty members are al- lowed to suggest pranks to the Committee as well. These suggested pranks are supposed to remain anonymous, though they usually are fairly obvious. For exam- ple, one of the pranks which is assumed to be from Dean Higgins is simply “Pick up trash around campus.” Seniors are allowed to vote on pranks, and the results have been as- tounding. One of the leading pranks is to re- lease a gator on Xavier campus with 109 votes. Most students also voted to sustain ‘Frat Day’ for the rest of the year. Other pranks suggested are to cement Brophy golf carts to the ground in the Octogan (71 votes), pile all senior tab- lets into the Mums foun- tain (64 votes), and to draw “I love doody” all over campus (unanimous 311 votes). Brophy’s secret society system has also been abuzz recently with talks of pranks. The Black Key Society annually kidnaps one freshman after the school year has ended. Most freshmen end up at Saint Mary’s sophomore year after being kid- napped over the sum- mer. Whatever the fu- ture holds, I’m sure that the Class of 2013 will not disappoint.
