When did you graduate from Bluffton High School?

Describe how you painted your name on the street when you were a senior. Where was it located?

I painted my name outside of Dan Rumer's office window on College Avenue. I wanted it to be something he could admire daily and opted for a gallon of eggshell white and a roller in lieu of the spray paint.
