| Summary | "Full-Back Foster" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story revolves around the protagonist, Myron Warrenton Foster, who arrives at Parkinson School, a prestigious boys' institution, and navigates the challenges of fitting in, making friends, and the competitive world of school football. At the start of the narrative, we see Myron arriving at Parkinson School with a sense of self-satisfaction that quickly turns into discomfort as he encounters Joe Dobbins, an unexpected roommate with a rough demeanor. As Myron tries to assert his preference for a single room, he learns he must share his space due to a registration mix-up. The dynamic between Myron and Joe develops throughout the opening chapters as Myron's initial disdain for Joe evolves against the backdrop of their shared experiences at the school. Myron grapples with feelings of loneliness and identity while being thrust into the school’s football culture, all of which sets the stage for his character's development and the unfolding of various school adventures.
