Ah Color Wars day, the memories. Color Wars was a day during school spirit week where each class (9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th) had their own color (yellow, orange, green, blue respectively) and everyone in dressed in their class' color. It was during this day that things just went crazy every year. People brought in markers and spray-paint to mark those of other classes (usually lower class, god have mercy on the Freshman who "marked" a Senior). People would go even crazier, especially the Seniors. The year before I was a freshman apparently someone got duct-taped to a chair. People would set off stinkbombs and silly string everywhere. Paint and ink ended up all over the walls in between classes. During the beginning of the day all the Seniors would mob up and run through the hallways in a huge mob, pushing everyone out off their way. During my year as a Junior people went so far that the principal canceled the pep rally that would always happen the next day. Rather than dress up in school colors for "school pride day", everyone dressed in black to protest the cancellation. Next year, when I was a Senior, we got to the second to last period of the day and thought that the pep rally was canceled (it wasn't). So we gathered in "center court" (a large open area where people would meet between classes) and had a huge chant/mosh pit there. That was what actually got the pep rally canceled again. Poor Sophomores and Freshman (they'd be Sophomore and Juniors now) haven't had a pep rally yet so far, and this canceling of the pep rally might even become a tradition.
And this was beyond the drug-sniffing dogs that would randomly check our school or the fights that would sometimes break out ("Fight in central court!" as everyone rushes to watch) or the one time some Seniors graffitied a large portion of the school and parking lot.
