April Fools’ Day — North Springs edition!

Staff writer Isaac looks like he may be out of a job after he tries to prank Oracle editor Courtney Suber.

Normally at this time of year, the Oracle staff cannily crafts fake “Onion“-style articles for April 1st “April Fools’ Day” jokes. Many are corny and most are obvious, but a few of them were taken for real and caused a bit of angst and chaos. (Do a search for the baseball team article from a few years back and you’ll see why.)

This year, the staff decided to try something new by reaching out to teachers and staff to find out the best (and worst) April Fools’ gags and pranks that they ever played — or had played on them (At least those who were willing to be recorded.) A few teachers also decided to pull some of the own pranks along the way…

Mr. Hanson shares his shocking rookie year administrator prank.
Ms. Roquemore: “But she seems so nice!”
Mr. Rogers gives a North Spring spin to Snakes on a Plane!
Coach Weaver: Be kind to your nurse!
Ms. Lawson: Superstar!
Don’t shock Ms. Tatlock!
Boehnlein and Bengston: Dark side of the puns.
Mr. Null bit into the CBI department’s “Brown-e ” prank!
Ms. Vo’s “Mayo” clinic!
Does Matthew Demps have Ms. Vo by any chance?
Tatlock’s trick!
The saga of Lupe and the “loop”: Mr. Greb and Mr. Lupiani throw Mr. Throne under the bus.
Mr. Bengston shares his secret about the pool on the school.

Below: Springs hijinks: From L to R: The Oracle / echo staff getting silly with it; Ms. Tatlock and her crew’s experiment becomes a comedy of errors.

Below: These pranks may get you “Throne “out of the building.

Hey,
CBI made brownies and we have a few left. Come down to home living within the next 10 minutes for some left overs! 😊
