Our Rock! One of Gloversville High School's most unique activities is rock painting. Rock painting is a long- established tradition at G.H.S.. It takes four years to become a skilled rock artist, and during these four years, everyone goes through several basic phases. The incoming freshman rarely takes notice of The Rock. To him, it's just an ordinary rock with nothing special about it. Little does he realize that this mass of stone is a Vay to express thoughts, feelings, and even announcements. But by his sophomore year he is aware of this, and eagerly claims his piece of the rock. As a junior, he im- proves his rock painting skill, preparing for the responsibility of being a senior rock-painter. Through the years, each student gains a certain affection for our Rock. Seldomly abused, most rock-painters refrain from using obscene lan- guage or graphics. They do use The Rock to state who they are and what they're about. Although sometimes done in jest, all rock paintings come about from a certain amount of serious planning. Who's going to help? What color paints can we Below: Sherry Siegfried, Rae Ann Smith and Valerie Smith prove that rock painting is a favorite G.H.S. pasttime. Below Right: Symbols of school spirit and pride. get? When should we paint it to assure that it will not be repainted before morning? What will we paint? Painting The Rock is a most expressive form of art. Regardless of how artistic the craftsmanship is, it still carries its message to all climbing the hill to G.H.S. Maybe that's why so many participate in this activity. Everyone has a chance to take a stand. Our pride and spirit show constantly on The Rock. Although the messages are never perma- nent, the symbol of our presence is. The Oracle '83 staff feels our Rock deserves some recognition. We have decided to honor The Rock this year-honoring also the spirit it repre- sents.
