Summary "The High School Freshmen; or, Dick & Co.'s First Year Pranks and Sports" by H. Irving Hancock is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows the adventures of Dick Prescott and his group of close friends as they navigate the challenges and rivalries of high school life. The opening chapters introduce themes of friendship, courage, and the struggle against bullying, particularly embodied in the character of the wealthy and arrogant Fred Ripley. The beginning of the novel establishes a conflict when Dick Prescott is falsely accused by Fred Ripley of ruining his coat with paint. This conflict escalates into a confrontation among students, highlighting the tension between the freshmen and the upperclassmen. Additionally, the narrative reveals Dick's bravery as he stands up for himself and his friends, and hints at a deeper sense of justice and camaraderie. As Dick strives to clear his name amidst misunderstandings and accusations, the friendships he shares with his fellow freshmen, who collectively refer to themselves as "Dick & Co.," suggest a coming-of-age story rich with themes of teamwork and perseverance in the face of adversity.
