The School Four

"The School Four" by Albertus T. Dudley is a story that follows boys at a private school in the early 1900s, focusing on their sports careers in football and rowing. The main character, John Smith, a smart and driven student, starts a new sports league, and his decision sparks friendship, competition, and personal growth as the boys face challenges in athletics and relationships. The book explores how these young men see their chances of winning and what they think of each other, and introduces characters, such as Sumner, Talbot, and Roger Hardie, all of whom begin to understand more about themselves.
