I think harassing Miss Thompson is one of the longest standing Wiley
traditions. I remember shaking the floors, but I got in the most trouble
when she had to leave the room one day, and put me in charge of the class.
Naturally I dismissed the class, and the room was empty when she returned.
I spent a little time in Si Proffits office for that one.

then shake your legs. The force would be transmitted to those old Wiley
floors and shake the whole place. Everyone could feel it, all across the
room - which, naturally, increased its entertainnment value.
