Journal 3

The Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session was probably the greatest success story I've been apart of in my entire life. Whenever we talked about it, we thought of it as some above-everything-else group that everyone knew about and wanted to be apart of. Even though it was the exact opposite, we liked to think it was what we thought. Every night we held meetings to initiate new members. At each meeting the Charter Members, Phineas and I would start them off by climbing up the tree and jumping into the river. Everytime I went to jump in the river, it felt like I was doing something so dangerous, but i did it anyway to feel rebelious. Finny could have been decribed as an anarchist, as he lived by the rules that he came up with. The rules that others had made like the ones made by the faculty at the Devon School did not apply to Finny's lifestyle. Since the Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session was a club we met regularly every night. I never missed a meeting and honestly I never wanted to miss one. The only thing that Finny cared about more than the club were sports. He always said "you always win a sports".
