Students Shelled; Principal Hard-Boiled

Coeur d’Alene High School students were walking on eggshells Friday.

Literally and figuratively.

An afternoon homecoming pep assembly turned ugly when a group of seniors opened fire with raw eggs on the freshman section of students.

Flustered students emerged from the assembly covered in egg, some crying after being hit in the face, others simply shocked at the maliciousness of the prank.

The egg attack drew a terse response from a disappointed and peeved principal Steve Casey.

“This is why we have as many rules as we do,” Casey said over the school loudspeakers. “Future assemblies are definitely in jeopardy.”

The eggs not only hit students, but also soiled flags on the auditorium walls behind the student seating area. Several dozen empty egg cartons were found after the assembly. Casey encouraged those seniors involved to come forward to avoid penalties that could impact the entire school - such as restriction of future assemblies. , DataTimes
