Change Signals opens in the electric atmosphere of Yardley Hall, a boys' boarding school where football is more than a game—it is a test of loyalty, discipline, and belonging. As Captain Dan Vinton and Coach John Payson rally the school with speeches, cheers, and a stirring anthem, the season begins under the weight of tradition and high hopes. Into this world comes Kendall Burtis, a Maine farm boy whose improbable journey to Yardley has been shaped by chance encounters, encouragement, and a mother's faith in his future. At Clarke Hall, Kendall meets his sharp-witted roommate Harold Towne, whose teasing exposes the class differences and social codes of school life while hinting at an unlikely friendship. Football, friendship, and ambition quickly weave together as Dan Vinton, his friend Gerald Pennimore, and the rest of the Yardley boys prepare for the pressures ahead. Meanwhile, Kendall's own growth unfolds through comic, encouraging lessons in golf and a revealing trip into town, where a haircut and a new gray suit help him discover confidence, self-presentation, and the thrill of becoming someone new. Warm, spirited, and full of school-life adventure, this is a novel of boys, games, and the making of character. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
