Iola High School Principal Scott Carson arrived at school Wednesday with a hunch something would be amiss.

He was right.

The graduating Class of 2022 kept alive a long-standing tradition with a senior prank.

While harmless, their handiwork was impossible to miss.

Saran-wrapped entrances, chairs stacked atop tables and the occasional stringed hot dog greeted students and teachers alike as they arrived.

The chef-d’œuvre, however, was the meticulously pyramid-shaped stack of chairs in the gymnasium, including one placed atop one of the baskets on the north end of the basketball court.
