School, in New Hampshire during World War II.

and Finny, both sixteen years old, are there to attend a summer
session.

to
finish high school and receive their diplomas before being drafted into
the
military on their eighteenth birthdays. Not only are Gene and
Finny
good friends, but also they are roommates at the school. Finny is
a
natural athlete and leader while Gene is more academically oriented.
