-at the end of my freshman year, in May of 1981 me and my classmates pulled a prank on one of the most hated upperclassmen among all of us, a senior from Boston, MA named "John". Finding out from his roommate that "John" hated bugs of each and every kind, we went to a local bait and tackle shop near the Citadel campus and ordered 10,000 crickets. It took two weeks for the shop owner, himself a Citadel graduate, to get the order of insects into his shop. We snuck the insects into the barracks over a period of two weeks, then, when "John" had come back to his room drunk one Saturday night, his roommate "Charley"(who was in cahoots with us) vacated the room and we loosed, out of six boxes, 10,000 crickets and closed the door, removing the latch and tying the door shut from the outside, thereby preventing "John's" only avenue of escape. It didn't take long for this prick to wake up and start hollering. We kept him locked in the room for about forty five minutes before letting him out. He was not, predictably, a happy camper.
