olor adds to any picture a depth, tone, and character that black and white cannot achieve. Splashes of color are like sparks of life that brighten everyday landscapes. Friendship, a caring for others in the community, colors the halls of Hockaday with a vibrancy only friendship could give. Friendship paints the cheerful yellow of a birthday poster for a freshman little sister, the pastel pink of flowers to say ‘‘Congratulations,’’ or the shiny red of an apple for a faculty pal. Its brushstrokes create the royal blue of senior class T-shirts, the or- ange and black of Trick-or-Treat-O- Grams on the lockers at Halloween, or the forest green of the banner wishing the field hockey team “Good luck’’ before an important game.

Tubes of paint labeled “cadmium blue” or ‘'kelly green” take on meanings known only to the artist. Hockaday gives each student a new, blank canvas and all the paints she can use.
