My dad taught Jr. High for 43 years.  One year they removed their slave clock
system.  For those who don't know, many schools had such a system where there
was a pipe that ran to each clock in each room.  The master clock would send
out a pulse of compressed air to make the clocks all "tick" in sync.

The removal of the slave clock system left a hole, about jr. High student high,
in the walls of every class room.  My dad's room was at the end of the hall. 
So, if you looked through the hole, you could see through all the classrooms
all the way down the hall.

My dad, being a science teacher and a practical joker, made up a sign that
read:

Over the summer, history was made in laser technologies by (my dad and the
other science teachers).
This also explains the hole in rooms 101, 103, 105, 107, 109, ...

The 8th graders got a laugh.  But the 7th graders (who's BS detectors were not
fully developed yet) wondered for a while if it was true.  The 6th graders
didn't figure it out until the next year.
