then we find that we are not alone— there is SOMEONE else During school we seldom ore alone. Associations are made everyday. We meet the teacher who guides us through a multitude of knowledge. We make friends who help us in our tasks both physically and mentally. By chance we might meet someone who is special to us and we change our life to please that one. We meet those of special interest whose ways may change ours and enable us to see ourselves better. Each individual might help us or hinder us, love us or hate us, dominate us or serve us. excite us or bore us, praise us or degrade us. Whatever, each individual association influences us, but certain ones aid our climb. 6

ALONE we strive to find ourselves Sometimes we feel that we hove little importance — a nonentity in a huge mass. Together we do so many things, but we find that the struggle to find ourselves is our own; we search for our identity. Are we popular? Are we attractive? Are we needed? Are we indispensible? But, still, ultimately we are ourselves. Through education we come to appreciate the thoughts of others and we incorporate them into our beliefs. Our own perception of the world is what we believe to be true or false. Thus, the first step in the climb is finding ourselves, for we cannot understand our environment until we really understand ourselves. 5
