For leading a goat up the stairs of his prestigious New York high school. Apparently, it ended up being even more of a nuisance, since the goat didn’t fit in the elevator, and refused to go down stairs. (This celeb also got kicked out of Haverford College a few years later for pulling the same stunt with a cow.)

For following the rules a little too literally. This celeb-to-be made history by showing up to a West Point parade wearing “white belt and gloves, under arms” as the official code instructed, but nothing else.

For impersonating a school board member. The punishable crime? Cutting a deal with a local construction company and convincing them to start work on a “new addition” to his school.

For playing guitar in art class. The behavior ruined the 17-year old’s chances of becoming a famous stained glass designer.

For refusing to cut his hair, this pretty boy celeb got kicked out of his ROTC program in college.

For throwing a tire at a fellow student’s head… immediately after winning his military school’s Leadership Award!

For stealing the answer book from his math teacher’s desk.

For punching the high school principal. In the celeb-to-be’s defense, the administrator had made an anti-semitic comment. It ended up being a good move, though, since he left school to perform on the vaudeville circuit.

For “inspecting” the girl’s restroom at Fairfield Grammar School.
