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	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	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.
