Garry Grayson at Lenox High : or, The champions of the football league
"Garry Grayson at Lenox High: or, The Champions of the Football League" by Elmer A. Dawson is a school adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers on Garry Grayson and his close-knit group of friends as they transition from grammar school to Lenox High, eager to prove themselves on the football field. Their journey explores not only their athletic ambitions but also the friendships, rivalries, and challenges that
come with entering a new stage in their academic and sporting lives. The story blends school life, sportsmanship, and the trials of youth in a small American town. At the start of the novel, Garry and his friends—former grammar school football champions—look forward to joining Lenox High and hope to earn spots on the school's football team despite being freshmen. Their summer ends with an eventful rescue on Bass Lake, establishing themes of teamwork, courage, and character. Upon starting high school, Garry and his group face animosity from local troublemakers Sandy Podder and Lent Stewart, as well as challenges with a stern new English teacher, Trompet Shrugg. As football tryouts begin, Garry and his friends anxiously await their fate, eventually making the school's second team. The opening portion sets up a story of determination, loyalty, and youthful conflict, with football serving as both the backdrop and the catalyst for personal growth.
