BEN STONE AT OAKDALE -- "Under peculiarly trying circumstances
Ben Stone wins his way at Oakdale Academy, and at the same time enlists our
sympathy, interest, and respect. Through the enmity of Bern Hayden, the
loyalty of Roger Eliot, and the clever work of the 'Sleuth,' Ben is falsely
accused, championed, and vindicated." -- illustrated by Theo. Bechtolf. 1911. Hurst, A.L.
Burt. BOYS OF OAKDALE ACADEMY -- "'One thing I will claim, and that is that all Grants fight open and square and there never was a sneak among them.' It was Rodney Grant, of Texas, who made the claim to his friend, Ben Stone, and this story shows how he proved the truth of this statement in the face of apparent evidence to the contrary." -- illustrated by Martin Lewis. 1911. Hurst, A.L. Burt. RIVAL PITCHERS OF OAKDALE -- "Baseball is the main theme of this interesting narrative, and that means not only clear and clever descriptions of thrilling games, but an intimate acquaintance with the members of the teams who played them. The Oakdale Boys were ambitious and loyal, and some were even disgruntled and jealous, but earnest, persistant work won out." -- illustrated by Elizabeth Colborne. 1911. Hurst, A.L. Burt. OAKDALE BOYS IN CAMP -- "The typical vacation is the one that means much freedom, little restriction, and immediate contact with 'all outdoors.' These conditions prevailed in the summer camp of the Oakdale Boys and made it a scene of lively retreat." -- illustrated by Martin Lewis. 1912. Hurst, A.L. Burt. THE GREAT OAKDALE MYSTERY -- "The 'Sleuth' scents a mystery! He 'follows his nose.' The plot thickens! He makes deductions. There are surprises for the reader -- and for the 'Sleuth,' as well." -- illustrated by Charles L. Wrenn. 1912. Hurst, A.L. Burt. THE NEW BOYS AT OAKDALE -- "A new element creeps into Oakdale with another year's registration of students. The old and the new standards of conduct in and out of school meet, battle, and cause sweeping changes in the lives of several of the boys." -- illustrated by Arthur O. Scott. 1913. Hurst, A.L. Burt. |
