Opening paragraphs................................

 Five years earlier, the high school guidance counselor sat Barney Hall down and said, "Barney, you're bright enough, but you're not college material.  Not yet."  He was looking over Hall's standard test scores and other accumulated records from thirteen years in the Lower Cape May Regional School District.  "You're not mature for your age.  If you hadn't been sent to detention once a week, you wouldn't have done any studying at all."

-John Sanford, Ocean Prey
