4.0 out of 5 stars High School in the 1980's August 4, 2003

By "krod75"

Format:Hardcover

This book gives a real world account of the life of a typical high school student in the class of 1980. It takes place in my hometown of Stratford, CT, which makes the book very appealing to me. Being an alumna of the high school the book also references former teachers of SHS. They wear caps-just like seniors used to do at the high school. The author takes you everywhere in the building from the bathrooms to the journalism room to an actual account of a pep rally. This is definitely a must read for any alumna of SHS or anyone who enjoys factual high school material.

I hope you enjoy this book. - Well worth the [money] to spend on an easy read.
