NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: Senior Mement(o)
In a practical joke reminiscent of Bart Simpson’s prank phone calls, a Mayo High School senior who was on the yearbook staff changed a random freshman student’s name to “Moe Lester” under his photo and in the index of the $85 book, reports The Post-Bulletin (Rochester, MN):
Officials were alerted to the change after the yearbooks came out earlier this month, and they have been scrambling through classrooms to get the 1,000 or so books and make changes, which included pasting a sticker over the student's name to correctly spell the name and then working over the index with what students thought looked to be a Sharpie pen. …
Coded messages and other pranks in school yearbooks are not uncommon, but most are caught long before publication. …
No word yet on whether and how the student will be disciplined – at the least, he should be the one pasting the corrective stickers in the yearbooks instead of school officials being paid with taxpayer dollars – but if he is suspended, he will miss his high school graduation ceremony Friday night.
