About This Book

The story follows Frank Armstrong, a newcomer at a boys' boarding school, as he confronts hazing, social rivalries, and a domineering bully while finding his place through athletics and friendship. School life is depicted through classroom scenes, dormitory traditions, songs, fraternity politics, and competitive events including football, track, gym contests, and an ice carnival. Rising responsibilities and mysterious episodes—theft, a dramatic rescue, and rival challenges—test loyalty and courage, and teamwork and school spirit lead to athletic honors and reconciliations by the narrative's close.
