Frank Armstrong at Queens

"Frank Armstrong at Queens" by Matthew M. Colton is a schoolboy novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Frank Armstrong, a fourteen-year-old boy who has just arrived at Queen's School, where he faces the challenges of fitting in, dealing with bullies, and navigating the complexities of adolescence, all while participating in sports such as football and swimming. At the start of the narrative, Frank encounters an aggressive student named Chip Dixon who tries to bully him upon his arrival. This instigates a physical altercation, which sets the stage for Frank's journey within the school. He is welcomed by Mr. Parks, an assistant master, and later befriends classmates like Jimmy and "Wee Willie," who introduce him to the social dynamics and rivalries of Queen's. The opening portion establishes Frank's determination to make a mark in the new environment, hints at athletic competition, and introduces the themes of friendship, rivalry, and self-discovery that are central to the story.
