THE FAMILY CLOCK The proud pelican, erect and alone, glancing from somewhere between the cattails in the sad and somber marsh, stands lithographed for our eternity on the plate glass of the family clock. And behind the pelican a pendulum glides, swaying from left to right, marking off the time laboriously, as a mason does with bricks and mortar, building a wall against the foregone time. On either side of the glass rises a graceful pillar moulded from an oak, carved with spiroid and serpentine figures slowly undulating and unfolding back and forth across the face of the wood. Resting on top of the whole of the clock is the ornate, flowery arch with bubbles like the domes and turrets of mosque, manually wrought from solid oak, creviced with dozens of figurines. Under the domes worships the face itself divided and marked with Roman numerals, its only remnant from antiquity, as age spots on sagging, wrinkled skin, tallying every hour of every day. And the black hands like quivering arrows, reaching out, piercing the minutes, the hours, project the time gingerly forward, daring to change the future to present, daring to allow life time to go on. by Joseph M. Shields

ontec mUn €iuule lo€tA ctmi Mio€X€ 4m It was a dark, gloomy morning on October 9, 1982, and the skies were threatening to ruin our homecoming parade with a terrible downpour. Nev- ertheless, luck was on our side, and the parade pro- ceeded as scheduled. School spirit was quite strong as many fraterni- ties, sororities and organizations added special touches to the parade with their entries of floats, cars and marching units. The parade was centered around the theme An Album of Monmouth Memories. Several local at- tractions joined in the celebration, and the Home- coming Queen and her court appeared, each riding in separate Corvettes. Watching the parade was exciting and will long be remembered in the hearts of the students and visitors who attended this special annual event at Monmouth College.
