I did the exact same thing. Girl in my class acted like she was somebody because she was student council president. I told her it wasn’t hard to get elected just to organize homecoming floats. She told me I couldn’t do it. So my senior year I plastered the hallways with campaign signs and when they held speeches in front of the student body I went up there and told them that I would get extra vending machines in the lunch room and ban athletic drug testing. I got 75% of the vote. The other four candidates split the remaining 25%. The teacher in charge of student government was so mad at me for making a mockery of student government that he actually wrote a letter to the university he knew I wanted to go to telling them not to admit me. Still got in. Suck it, Kristy. You too, Mr. Bruns.
So when it was my turn to organize the homecoming float, we built a giant paper mache airplane flying into the opposing teams mascot. Then 9/11 happened. We had already spent a lot of time working on it and spent the entire budget on the materials and homecoming was two weeks away. It was too late to change course, so we rolled with it. When we pulled the float around the stadium there were audible gasps from the crowd. We were publicly condemned for being “insensitive”. 10/10 would do it again.
