'Percy Wynn, or Making a Boy of Him' Summary
Join Tom Playfair in meeting a new boy who has just arrived at St. Maure's, Percy Wynn. Percy has grown up in a family of 10 girls and only 1 boy—himself! His manners are formal, he talks like a book, and he has never done anything remotely athletic. Yet he has brains, courage, and high Catholic ideals. Tom and his pals at St. Maure's befriend Percy and have a lively time as they all chip in to help turn Percy into a well-rounded all-American Catholic boy.
