Each year, the high school Juniors paint their names on the side of this Lion's Club building. It's a tradition that goes back to the 1960s at least, I'm pretty sure. They used to paint on the old viaduct, until it was torn down in the late 1990s. And, by the way, this is not graffiti - it's authorised.

Each year in the last week of our local school, the juniors paint their names on the side of the Lion's Club building downtown. This was was last year's class. This week, the juniors painted over this and were painting their names. When they get it finished, I will head down there to memorialize it on film once again.
