Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Y. M. C. A. Boys of Cliffwood; or The Struggle for the Holwell Prize" by Brooks Henderly is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a group of boys from Cliffwood who engage in various adventures and mischief, particularly revolving around their endeavors to earn the Holwell Prize at the local Y. M. C. A. The primary character, Dick Horner, emerges as a prominent figure among his friends as they navigate challenges and their interactions with the stern Deacon Nocker. At the start of the book, the boys are gearing up for a Hallowe'en night filled with pranks. They hatch a plan to scare Old Deacon Nocker, a notorious curmudgeon who is known for his harsh treatment of boys, by posing as ghosts after breaking into his home. The opening chapters introduce us to the lively camaraderie among the boys, their mischievous spirits, and a budding realization of consequences when their plan leads to a chaotic confrontation with Nocker, who threatens them with legal action. Additionally, the narrative hints at a deeper connection as it explores the boys' motivations and their desire for acceptance and fun, all while establishing the conflicts that will undoubtedly shape their experiences.
