Foreword 7 a.m. 1800 half-conscious bodies blink their sleep-filled eyes. The foggy, misty world of sleep and dreams obscures the cold reality outside the sheets. Several hundred faces of all sizes, shapes and colors realize another day has begun. Groaning, 1800 agonized bodies rise for another day of school. It's cold outside—ten below, maybe. Only gray light comes through the frosty windows. It’s so warm and comfortable beneath the sheets—why leave? Why DO 1800 students leave their warm beds to come to school? What makes school so enticing? Why do we come here? Why is North here? North is a thing. North is a being, North is a life, but what is the meaning? Digging, scratching, searching. Here to start us learning. Here to have us think. Hard to learn, to study? Yes, of course. But for that time when we know we've gained, we undergo the pained, humdrum studies ... for that moment when ideas crystallize, for this we come. We're here to learn, to become social beings, to mature, to become physically fit. 5
