The Setting of the Story The first pages ofjmost great vels begin with the descriptibn of t setting 'of the story. Some tings are of little Importance; but he case of many no vels, the story Llld not have taken place any- ere else, Such is the case with this ry. Many of the scenes recorded '9 are typical of high school mes across the western world, ' yet Nitro High sohooi is unique. its own special ways. Students are found in many erent places, during their high wool careers, but the place where st of them are found during the y is the high school itself. Nitro h has seen many a class come and go during the last few decades, but one thing each class has had in common is that a student has spent many hours in the classroom, listen- ing to teachers, taking notes, and reading. Research papers, book reports, and tests are an all too familiar scene. A lot of the student's day is spent sitting down. Sitting at that remarkable invention - the student desk - or around lunch room tables, students find the time to interact with each other, learning about what it means to be growing up. Events outside of the classroom often take place in the halls of Nitro. Was NHS. Students will probably always remember standing at their lockers with those special friends or walking through the halls looking for that special someone. A lot ot time has also been spent simply grabbing a bite to eat during break or at lunch. Though the halls of Nitro may be old and the surtounding aromas sometimes a little strong, the high school spirit lives on from year to year. Only the people change. And that is what makes each year a unique experience, never to be repeated this way again.
