Well this just got hard.  There's a couple I still really dislike though.

 

9 - Because the Puffs have supposedly been a thing for decades, and they've been doing this bell-ringing thing for decades, and this secret society thing (and the Puffs specifically) is supposedly such a huge deal at Chilton for decades, and yet the Headmaster is just now finding out about it and has a cow about them "breaking in" to...ring a bell?  No property damage, no injuries, just lighting a candle and ringing a bell, and that's worthy of calling parents and cops and who knows what?  I call shenanigans.

 

11 - Because it's tied to the Francie/Puffs thing and that really drives me crazy.  See rant above.

 

15 - Just not as memorable.

3 and 6 are history!

I'll go with 11 and 23 also.  I didn't think Tristan was all that horrible most of the time, and Rory was a bit too rude to him here IMO.
