1962-12, Oberlin Rock, Santa
Title
1962-12, Oberlin Rock, Santa
Description
A photo from 1962 of five first year students with the rock they decorated as Santa Claus. At that point, decorating the boulders on Tappan Square was still considered an act of vandalism and the Oberlin Tribune reported on December 18, 1962 that the police had spotted a group of co-eds at the rock, "but it was too late to interfere."
One of three boulders on Tappan Square that is regularly painted with messages. The title of the image conveys the sentiment.
