About This Book

A spirited student and her close friend return to their boarding school for their senior year and move through a sequence of everyday rituals and special events—class meetings, elections, sports, seasonal festivities, concerts, and dances—while friendships are strengthened and tested. Social rivalries, pranks, a surprising discovery, a troubling disappearance, and an outbreak of illness introduce conflict and require loyalty and quick thinking. The narrative emphasizes the small dramas of adolescent life, preparations for final celebrations, and the transition from school routines to the rites of commencement that close this formative year.

THE GO AHEAD BOYS

BY ROSS KAY.

I leave this rule for others when I'm dead:
Be always sure you're right—THEN GO AHEAD.

Here is presented a series of rattling good adventure stories which every live "go ahead" boy will read with unflagging interest.
