Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Change Signals: A Story of the New Football" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the experiences of a young boy named Kendall Burtis as he navigates the challenges of fitting into the competitive environment of Yardley Hall School during the football season. Through Kendall's journey, the novel explores themes of camaraderie, school spirit, and the trials of adolescence. At the start of the book, the scene unfolds during a mass meeting to kick off the football season, with speeches from faculty and the football captain, Dan Vinton, instilling school spirit among the students. Amid this excitement, Kendall, a new student, is filled with awe and determination as he dreams of making the football team, despite his lack of experience. The opening chapters set the tone for Kendall's ambitions and the friendships he forms, particularly with Gerald Pennimore, as they both navigate the complexities of their new environment and the dynamics of their peers. Additionally, Kendall finds himself unwittingly involved in a prank plot against the school, which adds an element of intrigue to his story as he balances his desire to belong with the challenges he's yet to confront.
