Toward What Bright Glory?

My grandfather loaned me this book during my senior year of high school. It struck me then as being both a summation of my experiences that year and a preview of things to come. The novel follows the adventures of a group of seniors at Stanford University in the year leading up to World War II. They make up a cross-section of society as current now as it was then, and the book explores their reactions to everything from Big Game to the death of one of their own.Highly recommended and an especially great gift for the high school senior in your life.
