For the Honor of the School: A Story of School Life and Interscholastic Sport
1900
Hillton Academy's cross-country team faces its defining moment against rivals St. Eustace and Shrewsbury, and the outcome rests on the shoulders of two very different runners. Donald Cunningham, the confident captain, has trained all season for this race. Wayne Gordon, the uncertain newcomer, has never competed at this level and isn't sure he belongs. What follows is a story of pushing past every physical limit, of learning that champions are made in the moments when you want to quit. Barbour wrote from genuine athletic knowledge, capturing the burning lungs, the strategist's mind, and the particular honor of running for something larger than yourself. It's a window into an era when school spirit meant everything, when victory or defeat carried real weight, and when a boy's character was forged on the track as much as in the classroom. For readers who love underdog stories and the pure thrill of competition.
