Sac. The next question is: Whid1 clock? In reality, the aforementioned clock in Aurelius's is the regulator of the school life of all boys and many girls who look at it through the window as they pass, preferring not to trust the small clock on York's north wall. Boys are obligated not to go into the building until Sam's clock says they have but a few minutes. There is a large clock in Mr. Srnith's office, the mechanism of which I cannot fully comprehend. According to rumor, that system of tapes and levers inside the case rings the bells which are the signals to change classes or announce the joyful news that we are free to go home. I do not know that this is a fact, but it seems reasonable. This clodc we cannot see, but we know of its constant presence, for it sends its spirit in the form of bells. Another familiar clock is on the north wall of the office anteroom. This clock stares down at the mischievous boy who has been sent from the classroom, or counts into the past the time we spend waiting for tickets to the Senior play. Personally, I never could see why this clock was necessary. None of us want to go up there to get the time, for exactly nine strides to the north, and down seven steps, we can get a view of another clock which seems to have every whit of the honesty and integrity of the clock in the office. The only defect I can detect in this clock is that it is worrying about something. I think it is wondering what we will do when time tires of marching and lies down in the shadeg consequently, it is nervous from the strain. Surely you have noticed how its hands jerk and flutter. Although I have exhorted and reasoned with it about the folly of worry, it continues to lose sleep over its troubles, and we see the result. It gets up every morning with nerves like the well-known jumpy cat. I think the clock does not control us as much as we are led to believe. lt is what we might call an indicator. A timepiece is really a source of special knowledge and advice -good advice often offered, but seldom taken. But why do we foolishly waste our time prating on the value of the clock? Instead, we should be doing something useful, for Time Marches On! --Dean Shankland
