Seven days suspension seems far too severe for such a harmless, whimsical prank. Times sure have changed for the worse.
My senior year, we staged a homecoming prank. We bought about 50 helium balloons, made a huge sign saying "Thornridge Sucks" (our rivals) and floated it up behind their side of the field so that our side could read it as it floated above their side of the stands. Not the most clever prank and a bit crude, but effective. It got a huge cheer, and we got a week of detentions, which seems to me to be much more fair than seven days of suspension they got.
We'd probably be charged with some sort of terrorism today.
