Summary "The Chums of Scranton High on the Cinder Path" by Donald Ferguson is a novel likely written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around a group of boys from Scranton High, led by the determined and genial Hugh Morgan, as they embark on various adventures, including nut collecting and training for an upcoming athletic competition. Themes of friendship, rivalry, and athleticism are central to the narrative, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the lives of adolescent boys as they navigate their social environment. At the start of the book, the five main characters, including Hugh and his friends Thad, Kenneth (K.K.), Julius, and Horatio, set off on a nutting expedition. As they gather walnuts and chestnuts, they discuss their training for a looming athletic tournament, particularly a challenging fifteen-mile Marathon race. The atmosphere is vibrant and filled with anticipation, but soon the story hints at supernatural elements, particularly concerning a haunted quarry nearby. As they explore the woods, the tension rises with tales of strange noises and the presence of otherboys, particularly Nick Lang and his companions, who may have their own ulterior motives, adding an air of mystery and competition to the tale.
