Each year, the high school Juniors paint their names here on the side of the Lion's Club building. It's a long-standing tradition that goes back decades, to when they used to do it on the side of the old viaduct tunnel, which got torn down.

The film for this shot was long expired, but still seems to have turned out all right. And it seemed appropriate to shoot Konica film in a Konica camera.
