This volume Dave is back at Oak Hall after his thrilling trip to find the father he has never seen. His chums are leaders in the activities of the school, and Dave continues to be the best type of an American schoolboy. \"For the honor of Oak Hall\" he brings about the complete reformation of a former bully, who was rapidly going to the bad. Athletic events and jolly fun are constantly mingled, and as evidence that the boys are not at school entirely for that, many take high honors at the close of the year, Dave being prize essayist, to the great delight of his friends.
