Journal Six

Today I returned back to the Devon School, coming back I went to visit a few places. "Peace had deserted Devon. Although not in the look of the campus and village; they retained much of their dreaming summer calm." I, myself, live in the same room again as I did in the Summer with Finny. However, Leper no longer lives in the room across the hall, Brinker Hadley does. As I was walking around I stopped to visit the upper Devon River and the lower Naguamsett River. Standing here thoughts of Finny kept running through my mind. "As I do whenever I glimpsed this river, I though of Phineas. Not of the tree and pain, but of one of his favorite tricks..." I kept picturing him standing on the edge of a canoe on the river just like he used to.

(This looks exactly like the canoe that Phineas used to stand

on in the river.)

With returning back to Devon, I took the job of being an assistant senior crew manager working for Cliff Quackenbush. I will never forget coming back from practice and listening to Cliff questioning me about why I took the job. He had begun to accuse me that I was only taking it to become manager the next year. This was not true at all considering I was already a senior and this was nearly impossible. It wasn't long after that Quackenbush and I had fallen into the river.

(This river looks exactly like the one Cliff and I had fallen

into while arguing today.)

Coming home that night I had run into Mr. Ludsburry. He started talking to me about how he knew I had done many illegal things over the summer session. Mr. Ludsburry knew about all of the late night poker partys and even about the time Finny and I ran off to the beach. Later in this day, I had recieved a long distance phone call. Calling back, I could tell by the voice it was Finny. 

(This is the same phone in Mr. Ludsburry office that I

had talked to Phineas on that night.)
