Almost every freshman asked this X X question at the beginning of the year. Although some were new at it, others had carried on the tradition for years. I've been painting signs since I was a freshman, Amy Ford said. Some showed off artistic abilities, while others considered it just another social event. l just sat around while everyone else did the work, kind of like a supervisor, Carey Zost said. Sign painting wasn't all fun and games. For some it became a constant job. Oh, I hated making run-though signs. It's so hard to get the paper on the wall, Dino Castillo said. Not everyone could make Thursday after- noon sign painting, but most came when they could. I went when I could. No one would let me draw, but I did write the Iettersfl I-leather Barnett said. So, what is sign painting? Joshua Price had the answer. Isn't that where you learn how to paint those big signs, like the ones on the freeway? The picture was more clear to some. No, it's where you show your spirit by painting signs for pep rallies, games, and dances, Craig Watson said. Sign painting throughout the years has been a great opportunity for meeting new people and getting to know each other. I like to paint weird things. Rad Harrison and I got together and painted a sign for the SGP game that said 'Wipe the Warriors? We put toilet paper all over it, Although it didn't make it to the pep rally, we had a lot of fun trying, Chris Lindman said. Although sign painting was a weekly commitment, all students agreed that the hard work paid off. LILA F I A ' ' v 1 7 -xlv vA1f.A,, Vf7V,P 1 ,rvfh., '1t t, s.
