*nods in general agreement*<br/><br/>Being English I'm a little unsure of the American education system (and the terms you use to describe different years and such) and at what ages Junior High schoolers move to High School and then to College. I'm assuming College is our equivalent of University? In the UK only 10% of students go on to Uni so its a pretty elite culture here.<br/><br/>Would the town's fire department do demonstrations and safety talks at High Schools or is that sort of thing reserved for Junior High? If so that might give Cal and Su a reason to recognize Sarah as well.<br/><br/>It doesn't look like anyone is going to be in a close relationship with anyone else here except possibly our perverted Phys Ed coach being drawn to Su so presumably when the poop hits the fan and we're thrown together we'll all just lean on each other as needed.<br/><br/>I'm not sure that in a town of 40,000+ people you'd recognize many faces, certainly in Britain that's not the case. I'm no judge of how more close-knit American communities may be but I suspect not.
