re: Things you did in high school that would absolutely get someone arrested today?

In an applied physics class we built a tennis ball cannon out of soup cans, a spark plug, and Bunsen burner stand that used acetone for an accelerant and a high frequency generator to spark the plug.
During one of the other lunch breaks (we had three different lunch groups) we opened the door and proceeded to blast the shite out of people in the hallway. Took a three-man crew to man the thing.
We had one Black teacher, but she was pretty damn funny and cool. My lab partner made a paper airplane that said "Klan Spy Plane" on the wings and sailed it perfectly across her desk while she was working on the gradebook. Her response was "which one of you honkies doin' that? Damn cracker!" We'd be suspended and she'd be put on leave nowadays.
Had guns behind the seat of the truck pretty regularly. That was pretty common.
I didn't do it, but others put an entire box of Tide in the downtown park fountain of our rival. It covered a federal highway in suds, lol.

Guys used to use the girls bathroom. Would have gotten you arrested back then. Today probably not.

When smoking was still allowed in public, a friend and I lit a cigarette, placed an M80’s stem into it near the filter, and put it under the bleachers during a HS basketball game. We then grabbed a seat right behind the principal, Mr. Buckner, and waited. Wow, when it exploded it was awesome. The following week this one teacher suspected my buddy and approached him about it but he never wavered and we never told anyone that we did it until the first class reunion 5 years later.

Too many things to list and if I posted them here nobody would believe them anyway.

Tried unsuccessfully to steal the goal post from a school who one their first game in years with a now successful politician.
Underage drinking while spotlighting deer. Oldest was 16. Game warden caught us, made sure we didn’t have guns and let the kid with the farmers license drive us back to the deer camp.

Hanging an effigy in a tree at the rival school during homecoming.
Then egging and rolling houses.

We played smear the queer. I don't know about arrest, but all these alphabet supporting youngsters these days probably wouldn't participate at this point.

We had a senior scavenger hunt the night before our baccalaureate program. Everything we collected we brought back and made a huge 94 in the courtyard so it would be seen as people walked in the next morning.
In 8th grade I brought a WW2 Japanese bayonet to class (it was for a presentation but still...)
Buddy of mine got suspended because he had his hunting rifle in his truck in the school parking lot.

On game day, Lafayette high and Acadiana High student would drive the ring around LHS and throw eggs and hay at each other. The teachers and cops would just sit back and laugh. They would only yell at you if you were hanging outside WAY the vehicle or standing on the side rail.
It was a different world back at the turn of the millennium

I loved that game. The part where I got to be the queer while my friends humped me was the best part

Our WW2 vet bus driver pulled over and let two guys who were scuffling on the bus get out and throw hands.
After they were done, he carried on like nothing was out of order.

Buying a case of beer and driving around with everyone drinking chunking eggs at other cars and pedestrians at midnight. Not sure how we never got arrested.

Lots of guys at Chalmette High when I attended from 66-70 carried pocket knives and it was not unusual for us to play our form of "Chicken" when out on the grounds.
Two guys face off, put your feet wide apart, break out the knife and throw it between the other guy's feet. The knife had to stick in the ground and you brought your closest foot to it and it was your turn to throw.
Once the feet got close together it could get hairy if you didn't trust your opponent to miss your feet. Lots of guys got stuck playing that game.
