Percy Wynn

When Percy Wynn, the one boy in a pampered family of eleven children, arrives at St. Maure's Catholic boarding school, he, to say the least, is very out of place. He's never fished, ice skated, or even climbed a tree! Tom Playfair and his group of friends soon take him under their wing and soon he's as nearly skilled as the rest of them. But Percy is put to the test when a group of school bullies threaten to manhandle Tom, and when he must defend a drunken man being ridiculed in the prescence of his own son. In the end, Percy's grateful friends humbly declare that though their initial plan was to make a boy of him, they are not half so much boys as Percy himself. Percy, though he gradually aquires an assortment of practical and pleasant boyish accomplishments, remains the same refined, well-mannered little gentleman with a beautiful and innocent soul.
