Our story takes place in and around a big brick building on Campbell Street. . . by a tennis-court parking lot, where the cars show off their “citizenship on green and white bumper stickers. . .on the mud- gouge d turf of Boucher Field, guarded by one monumental smokestack, one rickety ticket booth, two spreads of bleach- ers and one memorable scoreboard, under the scalloped roofs of two breeze- ways — runways from cafeteria-to-gvm in winter and fine “BSing” places in spring . . .on the “dent-free” floor of Boucher Gym, scene of the Crown Point B-ball overtime, the Student Council induction, and the senior “Laugh In”. . .in a 42-year- old study hall, whose radiators talk in Chinese rather than give off heat. . . down the hallways, splashed with pep signs and announcements, buzzing with voices and locker impacts from eight ' til three, and ringing with lonely foot- steps after four. This is the year 1969 . . .the setting — VALPARAISO HIGH SCHOOL 4

The people in our story are charming, ruthless, easy-going, temperamental, shy, energetic, sleepy, nervous, happy, melancholy. . .contradictory — and very human. Among them is the senior girl who smothers hundreds of tears in her pillow because she smiled her teeth to the bone and still didn’t “ make court . . . the junior boy who gets so “ psyched-up for his first varsity football game that he has to take two Compoz to calm him down. . .the sophomore girl who trusting- ly follows directions straight to the boys ' restrooms, and then turns around to buy a bus ticket to the Homecoming game. . . the senior boy who sweats out his SAT ' s and his college applications, and then spends all spring jacking up his ' 57 Chevy . . .the junior girl who mocks out the new sophomores just because it’s tradi- tion, and pecks at the seniors for not running things right. . .and the sopho- more boy who throws his whole heart and soul into a varsity wrestling match, just because the coach promised him the big “V”if he could take it.
