The graduating class of 2025 revived the long-lost tradition of the senior prank at the College of St. Scholastica this past Sunday. While no one has reported seeing the act occur, students, staff and faculty filed through the Student Center this morning, Monday, May 5, past walls plastered with posters. 

In a post on Fizz, the anonymous school-based social media platform, a participant of the prank wrote: “Why can’t we put student posters in the Student Center? It’s not called the Admissions Center, is it? It’s time for us to make it ours.” 

After the grand opening of the new Student Center in September, student clubs and organizations quickly learned that they were not permitted to hang student posters on the walls. After club posters were continually removed, there was much confusion among the student body. In the Student Government Association (SGA) meeting on Oct. 13, a club leader pointed out this paradox. 

“So student clubs are technically not allowed to put up posters for student events inside the Student Center?” asked the representative. 

In the same meeting, other SGA representatives explained that the discussion was still developing, but that any student posters hung up in the Student Center will be taken down.

The events of last night show that some students are tired of waiting for this discussion to develop. The pranksters chose to take matters into their own hands. In an anonymous interview with The Script, the leaders of the prank explained the impact they hoped the prank would leave. 

“This is the legacy the class of ‘25 hopes to leave behind. I think I speak for all of us when I say it’s embarrassing that it took us this long. I hope future classes are inspired by this. I hope to inspire a culture of rebellion among the students of St. Scholastica,” said one interviewee. 

By 10:00 this morning, all posters had been removed from the walls of the Student Center by Campus Facilities. Although the action itself may not have lasted long, the class of 2025’s senior prank is not so easily removed from memory.
