Frank and Andy at boarding school : or, Rivals for many honors by Vance Barnum
"Frank and Andy at Boarding School, or Rivals for Many Honors" by Vance Barnum is a fictional novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Frank and Andy Racer, two brothers embarking on their first adventure at Riverview Hall, a boarding school that quickly does not live up to their expectations. The narrative explores themes of camaraderie, school life, and the challenges of adapting to a new environment, showcasing
the boys' humorous antics and the struggles they face as newcomers. At the start of the book, Frank and Andy are on a riverboat heading toward Riverview Hall, expressing excitement and curiosity about their new school. Upon arrival, they are disappointed to learn from a passerby that Riverview is an outdated institution compared to Waterside Hall, a rival school boasting a lively atmosphere. Their first day at Riverview is marred by encounters with the unpleasant Professor Callum, who shows little interest in the boys' well-being. Additionally, they witness conflicts surrounding their fellow student, Gertrude Morton, who faces financial difficulties. The opening chapters set the stage for Frank and Andy's determination to improve their school environment and defend their new friend while grappling with the realities of their situation.
