When we all learned how to make mini Stanley Cups from cigarette wrappers with spit balls in them, and launch them at the ceiling. There were a few months when the ceiling looked like a sparkly sky on every class.
And of course the inevitable escalation in size, culminating in several made from aluminum foil with sticky tape balls in them, launched from see-saw like catapults to the 30 foot high ceilings of the art and home-ec rooms.
That's about when we were sternly told enough was enough and the next kids caught doing it were suspension bound. I think it took a few busts before it all ended.
