Willow Hill — Phyllis A. Whitney

Valerie Coleman--good at sports, bright and a super writer--a cinch to become editor of the school paper. Stephen Reid-- quiet son of famous parents-a "good guy" in his own right. Judy Piper--pert and pretty redhead, throwing herself into things without worrying about consequences. Tony Millard-- senior class president and captain of the basketball team-- any girl's idea of the perfect date. Until the low-cost housing project opened, they made a happy quartet. Suddenly, in a town beset with racial tensions and parents on opposite sides, it wasn't easy to be good friends. And when Willow Hill High School became a test case for the whole town, Val discovered that being class president or editor of the paper wasn't everything. Maybe being a "good guy" was the most important thing of all....
