GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK)- It was not a normal day at work for Green Bay Southwest Principal Rod Bohm.
Many tables were stacked when he arrived Thursday morning, and it got the kind of reaction that Senior Zak Nelson was hoping for.
“He was just like no words, very out of it. He just kept saying, ‘oh my gosh, oh my gosh,’” said Zak Nelson.
Bohm said he was not mad, but it was hard to see the disorganization that the seniors caused. The seniors were not done yet.
The class proved that they know him well, and took the prank to his office, placing 700 balloons and streamers, forcing Bohm to do his work in the lunchroom.
“So that took me to another level of uneasiness,” he said. “When you’re sitting in your office with 400 kids and teachers walking through, it’s hard to get work done.”
Senior Clara Welhouse hatched a plan to prank Bohm.
“I found some inspiration online for some pranks,” said Clara Welhouse.
And, she enlisted the help of about 40 seniors.
“It went so much better than I thought it would. Honestly, especially the balloons in the office. That was not part of my plan. It was something that just happened,” Welhouse said.
Bohm said the seniors still depend on him for more more thing and it may give him the chance to have the last laugh.
“They may not get their diploma on Sunday after the graduation ceremony. They might have to come for lock in and find it underneath the balloons in my office,” Bohm said.
Jokes aside, Bohem says the class of 2018 is pretty special and some seniors say the same about him.
