I think it was sometime last week I caught this news story on CNN where the students (seniors - class of 08) at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis launched hundreds, if not thousands of rolls of toilet paper onto the trees leading up to the school.

Here’s a clip I found on YouTube:

I may be getting old and not know what “cool” is anymore, but this is absolute nonsense. Raises a few questions…

- was this the ONLY way these kids could find to boost school spirit?

- what a waste (are we really teaching our kids that it’s cool to waste?)

- who paid for all this TP?
- I’m sure the kids will do the clean-up, but isn’t that another waste of time?

Here’s the kicker..

Administrators embrace the papering prowess of the Class of ‘08 saying it’s a long tradition of celebrating the first day of school but school leaders acknowledge not everyone likes the new look saying some parents may stop contributing to Cathedral.

Here’s an aerial view of the mess:
