"The Teaneck High School seniors just wanted to play a joke on the faculty and their fellow students on Thursday, but they didn&amp;#039;t expect things to go so awry. After sneaking into the school in the early morning, they accidentally set off the alarm, triggering police intervention. When officers arrived at the scene they found &amp;quot;urine in hallways, petroleum jelly on doorknobs, desks flipped over, chairs broken [and] graffiti on the walls.&amp;quot; Thirty-eight of those arrested were still minors and were turned over to their parents. The 24 who were legal adults were charged with burglary criminal mischief. &amp;quot;If this was a senior class prank, I just don&amp;#039;t believe that a lot of them realize the seriousness of it as far as breaking into the building,&amp;quot; Sgt. John Garland said. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s a burglary, and I don&amp;#039;t think they understand that. It&amp;#039;s a very serious offense.&amp;quot;  The senior prank is an annual tradition for the graduating class, but the administration said it doesn&amp;#039;t usually get this intense. In addition to the charges the students will have to face in court, the school is considering punishing them further. &amp;quot;The district continues to assess the situation and is considering the consequences that we&amp;#039;ll impose on any students implicated,&amp;quot; Superintendent Barbara Pinsak stated. After hearing the news, many seniors who didn&amp;#039;t participate are feeling grateful. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t take part because I knew the consequences I was going to face,&amp;quot; Mohamed Beretey admitted. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m a football player, I&amp;#039;m an athlete, so I didn&amp;#039;t want my scholarships taken away from me.&amp;quot;  Fortunately, the damage to the building was minimal and classes operated on their usual schedule Thursday morning.
