| Summary | "For Yardley: A Story of Track and Field" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. This fiction work focuses on the life and athletic challenges faced by students at Yardley Hall, specifically highlighting the dynamics of friendship, competition, and personal growth in the realm of track and field events. The main characters introduced include Alf Loring, a talented quarter-back and athlete, along with his friends Tom Dyer and Gerald Pennimore, who demonstrate a mix of ambition and camaraderie as they navigate their school experience. The opening of the narrative establishes a rainy and dreary Saturday at Yardley Hall, where Alf Loring is feeling particularly restless. He and his roommate Tom Dyer share playful banter about the weather and their studies while eagerly anticipating the start of the spring sports season. Thoughts of track tryouts bring young Gerald Pennimore into their conversation, illustrating his enthusiasm for joining the team. As the boys discuss their aspirations for track and field success, an underlying sense of competition and friendship emerges, setting the stage for the events that will unfold throughout their school year. This blend of light-hearted camaraderie and the seriousness of athletic commitment creates an engaging backdrop for the unfolding story. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
