Man learns casino losses not deductible
WINNETKA, Ill., May 29 (UPI) -- Pranksters slipped a photo of a girl clutching a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer into the yearbook of New Trier High School in Winnetka, Ill., officials say.
The faculty had no idea the picture was included until yearbooks were handed out to students this week, the Chicago Tribune reported Friday.
"It's clearly defiant and subversive and intentional," says spokeswoman Laura Blair.
Principal Linda Yonke did not consider the prank harmless.
"It sort of casts a pall over the whole yearbook," Yonke said.
The snapshot in question is of two girls hugging each other while one of the girls holds a beer can behind the other girl's back.
School officials say they'll take appropriate disciplinary action against those responsible for the prank, the Arlington Heights Daily Herald reports.
New Trier has a long history of senior pranks, says a New Trier alumni.
One year keys to the school were mailed out, forcing officials to change all the locks. In the 1960s, seniors disassembled a car and reassembled it in the first floor rotunda.
