Imagine a basement room painted black from floor to ceiling.

Imagine painting the slanted hollows around the windows, the pudgy pipes above.

Imagine specks of black paint sticking to your loafers for years afterward.

Imagine being one of the wacky girls who left this dark spot on Emma Willard School.

If you don't have to imagine it, you must be a member of the Class of '94.
