Text Box: Our Boys is a book about our town of Smith Center. It talks about our football team, not only that, but also about our town. Mr. Drape did a very good job about talking about our town and we learned a few things about Smith Center that we didn’t even know. This book teaches people what small town life is like in the Heart of America. Our Boys makes us feel proud to be Redmen, and it should make others feel the same way.
