"The Putnam Hall Cadets; or, Good Times in School and Out" by Edward Stratemeyer is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of young cadets at Putnam Hall, a military-style boarding school. Central characters Jack Ruddy, Pepper Ditmore, and their friends engage in various adventures, including running for school office, confronting bullies, participating in boat races, and rescuing girls who fall into a lake. At the start of the story, readers are introduced to Jack and Pepper who discuss the upcoming election for cadet officers with excitement and apprehension. Their camaraderie is palpable as they navigate school life and face challenges together, including a mischievous bully named Dan Baxter. The plot quickly escalates when the boys discover that Baxter is attempting to bribe fellow cadets for votes. Alongside this political drama, the narrative foreshadows elements of rivalry and adventure, setting the stage for the cadets' spirited antics and the bonds of friendship that develop amid the trials of school life.
