Visting Devon School for the First Time in a While

May 19, 1958

It has been a while since I have been at Devon School.  Lots of good memories remain here, along with some bad ones.  The school looks the same as it did before… the only thing that changed was me,  just like the French proverb “plus c’est la même chose, plus ça change” (the more things remain the same, the more they change).  As I entered the First Building, I saw the marble steps, and It made me think of Finny. I wish he was still here, so he could see the school again, and maybe we could even take a jump into the river together.  It was very interesting to see the tree that we used to jump off of, because it seemed so much shorter now than it had in the past.
