Franklin Hall Dave Southworth

Franklin Hall is based on a true story. It is set in the mid-1950s during the days of fender skirts, S&H Green Stamps, the limbo, flat tops, and racial segregation. It is also the time when that new sound called rock and roll was capturing the fancy of teenagers everywhere. Dean loves attractive girls. So much so that it often gets him into trouble. He is mischievous, adventurous, quite a prankster, and unfaithful. His hell raising and penchant for good times are undoubtedly why his dad enrolled him in military school. One of Dean's primary goals is to help his roommate lose his virginity. Something always seems to interrupt the effort, however. True love eventually helps Dean become more forthright.
