Summary "Harry Harding—Messenger '45" by Alfred Raymond is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives of two boys, Teddy Burke and Harry Harding, as they navigate their transition from school to work during a time of economic struggle. The book explores themes of friendship, responsibility, and the challenges faced by young people taking their first steps into adulthood. At the start of the novel, the scene is set in a grammar school where Teddy Burke, known for his mischief, gets into trouble for a prank that involves a rubber snake, leading to his conflict with authority figures like Miss Alton, his teacher, and Mr. Waldron, the principal. Meanwhile, his friend Harry Harding discusses with his mother the need to find work to help support their family after losing their father. This opening section introduces the boys' personalities, their motives for leaving school, and lays the groundwork for their quest for jobs at Martin Brothers' Department Store. Harry's eagerness to gain employment contrasts with Teddy's ambivalence towards education, setting the stage for their adventures and growth in the working world ahead.
