| Summary | "The High School Boys' Training Hike" by H. Irving Hancock is an adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows a group of high school boys—led by a spirited character named Dick Prescott—as they embark on a training hike to prepare for their football season. The story highlights themes of teamwork, perseverance, and the youthful spirit of adventure as they deal with various challenges along their journey. At the start of the story, we meet Dick Prescott negotiating to rent a specialized camping wagon for his group's hike. A humorous and clever exchange ensues between Dick and the owner, Mr. Titmouse, revealing both boys' resourcefulness and Mr. Titmouse's shrewdness in business. The scene transitions quickly as Dick's urgency to return is interrupted when he spots a dangerous situation involving two younger children atop a hay wagon threatened by fire. This moment establishes Dick's bravery and sense of responsibility, setting the stage for the boys' training hike adventure, which promises to be filled with camaraderie and unforeseen challenges.
