The town better start getting tough on these people. Sick and tired of this kind of stuff going on. Catch them and make them pay for every thing damaged!!!

I am all for senior pranks...but damaging property is another thing...kids in this town sometimes think they own this town...Find them...and punish them!

What ever happened to the good old days, when seniors stole large decorations from Funland and put them on the school roof? ahhh....memories.....

You have to impose stricter penalties at the high school all around! ...e.g. inappropriate attire, smoking in the bathrooms,

I wonder why young people are so very angry and destuctive? I hope they get these kids and make them go in and clean and repair all the damage. I wonder if they were thinking it is going to be torn down anyway? There is no excuse for this kind of behavior. They don't realize the cost of replacing or cleaning up their mess. By the way, senior pranks, in my opinion are fun, but like Denise states damaging property is a bad and expensive thing! I don't blame Dr. O'Connor for being angry.

You have to wonder if this is a sign of what to possibly expect to happen at our brand new 80 million dollar high school.

Perhaps they all live at the Caswell or Motel 6.

Don't they have cameras inside?

I'm all for Senior Pranks, but do something like another school did and put thousands of balloons in the hallway. Destruction is not funny or a prank. I hope they find the kids and they lose acceptance to their college. Let their parents pay for their sorry butts by having them home next year!!

I am confused. Is Kathleen Brothers trying to put the responsibility for these malicious acts on the school personnel? I am perceiving that innuendo and do not feel that it is appropriate.

Maybe the thought was that the building would be demolished this summer so who really cared?

new school next year?

You're all clowns, kids are gonna be kids so get over it you fun suckers

I personally am currently a student at TMHS. I feel as if you're are blaming the whole student body, and thinking everyone in the school is like this. They're not really at all,a good number of the seniors of 2012 have just always been really destructive and rude. Just this past week my history class worked hard on honoring all of the fallen soldiers in the war by writing down every single name of every soldier that has passed away and put them up in the school. We've never really had any other incidents like this before. The past 4 years of senior pranks have been more or less innocent. And not all of the Seniors this year were involved with it. From what I gathered it was just a small group of kids. All the seniors I know also thought the prank was really dumb and immature. So, just because a few kids did something stupid you shouldn't think we're all the same. And it's also not that we don't have school pride, you'd be shocked to hear that most of us do. I personally love the school, and I went on a tour with some teachers into the new school and it's honestly beautiful and I'm going to be extremely upset if someone tries to vandalize it in anyway. You probably will just read this and think nothing of it because it's coming from a teenager, but I thought I'd say something as an inside source.

I 100% agree with you Akire. Being a graduate from 2011 it is hard to read these comments and see how quickly people are to generalize like this. Being a graduate I do not find it funny pulling this prank but you can not go on and believe that the whole student body agreed with this idea and liked it. And we can probably assume the couple of students that did it were thinking "hey this school is getting knocked down in a month so whatever", but it still was not a smart idea. Additionally, students want to come up with fun pranks trust me. Our class actually took out 70% of the desks and put them in the courtyard but the students were caught and the school was fixed in time. So these kids tried to go off of that. It is hard to be original these days when you hear of all of these cool pranks but you want to be original and not taking anybodies ideas, as well as not vandalize anything. With that being said, don't be quick to think we students are stupid and want to ruin everything. Do you forget what it was like to be young, and you are telling me your town was perfect and did nothing wrong you you had no kids starting up trouble and having school fights.

pranks are usually done by a small group of kids so good for Akire speaking up. good kids are out there, the bad ones just seem to make louder noise some times
tewksbury does have a bad track record of weak enforcement sadly or it seems that way are punishments outlined anywhere in a handbook?

Hmm it's August 1st.... I thought they were sure they'd find the vandals... No names yet?

Still have not found those scumbags in my graduation class? I know who it is anyways should I say something or just forget about it since the school is torn down?
