Today is the last day of school for the seniors at my alma mater East Ascension High School. These seniors get to participate in the best high school tradition in the country. They'll go to first period and once its done, go to the front gate of the school, start acting like a bunch of hungry bulldogs in a cage before the principals open the gates, then all run across the street and jump into a pond. Everything about it is just amazing. Running out the gate at full speed, trying to slow down not too slow but just enough to not trip on the big dip and get trampled, to the jump its self, and the getting out the way so you don't drown from the high waves and continuous people jumping in. Yes, the water is nasty but you don't even care while your adrenaline is pumping hard.

That is a giant lawsuit away from never happening again.

I've always thought EA is trash. Thanks for the confirmation.

Lawyers are about to start setting up booths for when these kids get out of the pond

I would expect this in Mayberry.

Really? This is what you consider the best tradition in the country?

Every girl putting out on prom night was always my favorite.

cool tradition. hopefully no one ruins it for everybody else.

anybody else find it odd that the people jumping in the pond were mostly white and the people watching on the shore were mostly black?

How good are the acting skills? Like, am I going to actually believe any of these students are really hungry bulldogs??

The EA pond jump is pretty great. Frick the haters...

Senior prank day was usually pretty good at Redemptorist as well. One year I think they covered the entire flag pole with old tires. Teacher friends share stories about that stuff.

I hear down at Destrehan High, they have a known tradition of teachers banging students.

It'll happen eventually...book it. All it takes is the parents of one kid who got jumped on top of and injured.

"We've been doing this for 20+ years" won't hold up well as a defense in court.
