The setting Baton Rouge High, located at 2825 Government Street, was regarded by many as the most beautiful school in the East Baton Rouge parish. The three-story, fireproof structure, built in 1928 occupied nearly twenty acres and covered an entire block spanning from North Boulevard to Government Street. To the east side of the school was Odgen Drive while South Eugene Street bordered the west side of the campus. Drama classes, TV classes, and the radio station occupied the old home economics building as it was referred to as the Performing Arts Center (PAC). The first floor consisted of seven classrooms, the two bathrooms, the auditorium which seated over 1500 people, and the three offices (attendance, guidance, and the main). There were four sets of stairways which lead to the second and third stories. The library, along with the balcony to the auditorium and fifteen classrooms occupied the second floor. 14 Baton Rouge High
