An alarm rings. A thousand weary pairs of eyes turn und open... and seek out the nearest heavy object to throw at it. But by 7:40 A.M. each of these thousand students has settled his battle with his (or her) battered clock and come to class at Southwest High School. Why, one may well wonder, would so many purportedly sane (a dangerous assumption) people subject themselves to the torture of waking up at such an ungodly hour? Well, I, like many others, have wondered about this for a long time, so I will attempt to solve this riddle before I'm through. There are only two reasons why people could do such a thing to themselves, either they are being forced (in this free country of ours?) or they wont to come, even if they would prefer a slightly later time.
