Summary "The Fighting Scrub" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Clifton "Clif" Bingham, a young boy navigating life at Wyndham School, a prestigious preparatory institution for boys. As Clif engages with the dynamics of school life, friendships, and football, themes of personal growth, competition, and camaraderie emerge. At the start of the novel, Clif faces the emotional challenge of being separated from his father as he arrives at Wyndham School. He introduces himself to the reader through an internal struggle of maintaining composure while dealing with a peer, Kemble, who initially provokes him. The opening chapters provide a look into Clif's new environment, including his relationships with fellow students like Walter Treat, his impressions of faculty members, and the beginnings of his experiences in athletics. A significant part of Clif's journey involves adjusting to the school's expectations and finding his place within the social fabric of the school, setting the stage for further developments in the narrative.
