Vandalism done right
Montpelier High's (VT) pranksters are budding Michaelangelos:
This year's senior prank has left a mark on Montpelier High School that school officials don't plan to erase. The class of 2005 painted a large celestial mural on a ceiling in the main lobby of the school during the holiday weekend, Principal Peter Evans said.Evans said when he returned to school on Tuesday, he looked up at the mural and thought it was an art class project. He soon learned that it was the senior prank, a tradition that usually has a more troublesome impact on the school. About 170 ceiling tiles were painted, he said.
"In this position we try to figure out how to deal with a case of vandalism that's really quite beautiful," Evans said.
Found this photo in the Fark comments link; it really does look nice.
Wonder if any of the Montpelier Pranksters are headed to MIT?
