BOGUS BUSINESS BUREAU
1	Apple Ode	BBB	Literature	Poetry
	Apple Ode First there was the local apple crop, threatening to rot because the harvesters had all gone into the army or war factories. We spent several shining days picking them and were paid in cash for it. Brinker was inspired to write his Apple Ode: Our chore Is the core of the war.

	Blitzball "Let's make it have something to do with the war," suggested Bobby Zane. "Like a blitzkrieg or something." "Blitzkrieg," repeated Finny doubtfully. "We could figure out some kind of blitzkrieg baseball," I said. "We'll call it blitzkrieg ball," said Bobby. "Or just blitzball," reflected Finny. "Yes, blitzball."

	The Devonian "My God! So I really did it. You know what? I thought I was going to do it. It felt as though I had that stop watch in my head and I could hear myself going just a little bit faster than A. Hopkins Parker." "The worst thing is there weren't any witnesses. And I'm no official timekeeper. I don't think it will count." "Well of course it won't count." "You can try it again and break it again. Tomorrow. We'll get the coach in here, and all the official timekeepers and I'll call up The Devonian to send a reporter and a photographer - " He climbed out of the pool. "I'm not going to do it again," he said quietly.
7	Dr. Stanpole	BBB	Healthcare	Doctors
	Dr. Stanpole Doctor: Dr. Stanpole was fairly gabby too. What was he always saying. Nothing. Nothing? Well there must be something he was always saying. Everybody had something, some word, some phrase that they were always saying. The trouble with Dr. Stanpole was that his vocabulary was too large. He talked in a huge circle, he probably had a million words in his vocabulary and he had to use them all before he started over again.
8	The Good Samaritan Confraternity	BBB	Organizations	Charities
	The Good Samaritan Confraternity If he could not enlist - and for all his self-sufficiency Brinker could not do much without company - he could at least cease to be so multifariously civilian. So he resigned the presidency of the Golden Fleece Debating Society, stopped writing his school spirit column for the newspaper, dropped the chairmanship of the Underprivileged Local Children subcommittee of the Good Samaritan Confraternity, stilled his baritone in the chapel choir, and even, in his most impressive burst of irresponsibility, resigned from the Student Advisory Committee to the Headmaster's Discretionary Benevolent Fund.

11	Devon River	Map	Water	Rivers
	Devon River We had never used this lower river, the Naguamsett, during the summer. It was ugly, saline, fringed with marsh, mud and seaweed. A few miles away it was joined to the ocean, so that its movements were governed by unimaginable factors like the Gulf Stream the Polar Ice Cap, and the moon. It was nothing like the fresh-water Devon above the dam where we'd had so much fun, all the summer. The Devon's course was determined by some familiar hills a little inland, it rose among highland farms and forests which we knew, passed at the end of its course through the school grounds, and then threw itself with little spectacle over a small waterfall beside the diving dam, and into the turbid Naguamsett.
12	The Fields Beyond	Map	Nature	Natural Areas
	The Fields Beyond When I got back I found him in the middle of a snowball fight in a place called the Fields Beyond. At Devon the open ground among the buildings had been given carefully English names - the Center Common, the Far Common, the Fields, and the Fields Beyond.
13	The First Academy Building	Map	Structures	Buildings
	The First Academy Building It was early afternoon and the grounds and buildings were deserted, since everyone was at sports. There was nothing to distract me as I made my way across a wide yard, called the Far Commons, and up to a building as red brick and balanced as the other major buildings, but with a large cupola and a bell and a clock and Latin over the doorway - the First Academy Building.
14	Gilman Street	Map	Transit Routes	Streets
	Gilman Street I walked along Gilman Street, the best street in town. The houses were as handsome and as unusual as I remembered. Clever modernizations of old Colonial manses, extensions in Victorian wood, capacious Greek Revival temples lined the street, as impressive and just as forbidding as ever. I had rarely seen anyone go into one of them, or anyone playing on a lawn, or even an open window. Today with their failing ivy and stripped, moaning trees the houses looked both more elegant and more lifeless than ever.
15	The Jared Potter Building	Map	Structures	Buildings
	The Jared Potter Building At 12 I left the First Building, recrossed the Common and went into the Jared Potter Building for lunch. It was a breaded veal cutlet, spinach, mashed potatoes, and prune whip. At the table we discussed whether there was any saltpeter in the mashed potatoes. I defended the negative.

18	The Decrepit Devon Endeavor	Other	Miscellaneous	Techniques
	The Decrepit Devon Endeavor Phil Latham's college was Harvard, although I had heard that he only lasted there a year. Probably he had said to someone to give something the old college try, and that had finished him, that would probably be grounds for expulsion at Harvard. There couldn't possibly be such a thing as the old Harvard try. Could there be the old Devon try? The old Devon endeavor? The decrepit Devon endeavor? That was good, the decrepit Devon endeavor. I'd use that some time in the Butt Room. That was pretty funny.
