get a higher score on a math test. Each got 100 per-cent, ending in a tie, with the next highest grade an 88. He just didn’t see much need for most of the subjects he was taking.
    Elvis was the top school prankster. In the past few years, the school had experienced many quality pranks, most thought to be the work of Elvis, but without proof The King skated by any discipline. Among the pranks he received credit for were putting deer scent spray in lockers, rolling 200 marbles down the steps during a change of classes, putting chocolate pudding in the drop slot of vending machines, delivering pizzas to classes, calling teachers during classes posing as administrators, and switching the plugs on keyboards in the computer room so that keyboards typed on the monitors of their neighbors instead of their own.
    Together the trio of Jose, Lamont and Elvis were viewed by the school administration as trouble waiting to happen. If there was a prank or mischief in the school, it was thought the threesome was somehow involved. Many times they were suspected of being the culprits, but a lack of evidence kept them from blame.
    In the previous school year, three incidents in particular frosted the administrators. First, someone apparently got a hold of the voting box for the Homecoming Queen and stuffed the ballot box with votes for the school’s most flamboyant gay male student. The Queen became the King.
    The second incident was someone inserted glue in all the keyholes of the doors for the school classrooms. Keys wouldn’t work. The school had to change many of the locks. Detectives were called in for this act of vandalism, but nobody was found guilty of the act. Even a reward of $1,000 by the local police failed to generate a guilty party.
    Third was the day that the teachers all showed up for school and found photos on their doors. It wasn’t just any photo; it was photos of well endowed naked people with the head of the particular teacher on top. Some teachers were offended; others laughed it off, but all wanted to see Elvis and his boys punished for the deed. No charges could ever be brought. The trio seemed to always create suspicious minds.
    â€œI don’t know about college, futures, and the track team,” Elvis said, breaking the silence between the stares for some the hotter women in the school. “But I do know we got to do something for our senior prank that folks will talk about for years. Give it some thought fellows, and let’s plan something. I wanna kill it. ”
    Just then the bell rang, chasing each of the trio into their first period. Usually during this period, things were quiet, primarily because each student had a boring class that usually allowed them to catch a few winks. By the end of the period students were starting to awaken and become more active. The bell signified the end of the period and time for the school announcements.
    After the pledge of allegiance and a moment of silence, the announcements began. There were the usual notifications of club and sport sign ups, deadlines and school procedures, then came a special announcement.
    â€œGood morning students and faculty, this is Mr. Winston, your principal,” Winston said over the PA system. “Today I have a special announcement. Our school has been nominated for a special award for an All American School. This is an award that goes to only 20 schools in the state. Forty schools are nominated. This means that the governor and the judging panel will be visiting us in the next two months. Congratulations to all and let’s do our best to win this award.”

    He claimed the students kept him young.
