Tom, Dick And Harriet

On a frozen Hudson River near Coleville and Ferry Hill, Dick Somes meets Harry Emery in a sharp, funny skating encounter that instantly sparks rivalry, attraction, and school spirit. When Harry's skate strap breaks, Dick improvises with his blue necktie, and their banter reveals two proud, quick-witted personalities: Dick, a new boy from Hammond Academy, and Harry, the spirited daughter of Ferry Hill's principal. As they race, argue, and tease each other, Harry proudly promotes Ferry Hill's campus, athletic field, and her own little "menagerie," hoping to win Dick over before the school deadline. At Ferry Hill, the opening of term brings back Roy Porter and Chub Eaton, whose lively friendship and good-natured sparring set the tone for the school. They laugh over Harry's audacious attempt to recruit a Hammond student, only to discover that the mysterious newcomer she has been courting is Dick himself. His unexpected arrival delights the boys and promises fresh competition, friendship, and adventure. Soon Harry, Roy, and Chub join forces in playful detective work, adopting mock-secret identities and the password "Revenge!" as they plot to follow Dick and uncover his intentions.
