Dick and Larry: Freshmen

Dick and Larry are two fresh‑faced boys from the rugged western railroads, thrust together by a summer of hard labor and a shared ticket to college. One is the laid‑back son of a railroad manager, quick with a grin and a carefree air; the other is a sturdy, thoughtful lad who feels the sting of homesickness as the train rolls eastward. Their banter on the clattering Pullman reveals a friendship forged in the dust of the Timanyoni Mountains, hinting at the clashes and camaraderie that await them.

When the train finally screeches into town, the pair find themselves thrust into a bustling street‑car packed with strangers, already earning a nickname that will stick. The bustling campus scene promises a mix of academic challenges, new friendships, and the inevitable mishaps of two newcomers trying to find their place. As they navigate crowded trolleys and unfamiliar streets, their contrasting outlooks set the stage for lively adventures and the growth of a bond that may prove stronger than any railroad tie.
