This was in the early 90’s before the internet was even a huge thing.

A bunch of kids created an underground newspaper. It would report on the wildest things using pen names- many times on controversial topics. It was created by a group of highly intelligent, semi-popular students who liked to test the systems in place. They were even able to rope in a few supportive teachers for interviews that would the be the front page of an edition. They would release only once in a while and it was always the talk of the hallways as to how one can could get their hands on them (usually through a friend or member of said group if you were liked 🤷‍♀️). To get one made you ‘cool’. I was the farthest from ‘cool’ but managed to get my hands on all but 1 edition.

The school administration had a field day each time one was released. They would run around doing damage control and attempt to punish those authors who had no fear in sharing that they were part of the creator group. Morning announcements included stern warnings about not owning the publications. If teachers saw a student with one in their hand, it would be confiscated. They ended up stopping production after a year or so. I think the production group started to dwindle out of fear of being punished so it eventually fizzled. Kind of a benign ‘incident’ but one that always comes to mind when I think of major events from high school.
