Business Manager Jody Winters...........Design Artist Sue Carole Waehaus Ray Baurley .... Faculty Sponsors None of us wandered through the year in search of a single goal. On the contrary, each of us struggled toward a variety of objectives, choosing and rechoosing the goals we desired to reach each day. Small or large, important or in- significant, all charges affect us and our surroundings. We are—and always will be--searching for those goals, both profound and subliminal, which lie hidden within our own minds. student life . . . page 8 administration . . . page 26 2 Sometimes the conquests of out goals were herald- ed loudly by music, fans, friends, in class, or out of class. During the year we experienced unrestrained joy, high strung exuberation, total exasperation, and, finally, sheer exhaustion. But . . . 4 6 At other times, more solitary, silent moments enveloped our lives. Triumphs of understanding, of exploration, and of accomplishment were not shared even with our closest friends. Goals reached alone, with no help from others, will always be the prime source of self-gratification. 7 The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions— the little soon-forgotten char! ties of a kiss or smile, a kind look, heartfelt compliment... Samuel Taylor Coleridge Success Reigns at Milan Homecoming! The very word rings of floats and queens, and football and touchdowns, and dances and bands. Ah! Homecoming! The 1974 Homecoming was a brilliant success. The football team outdid itself with a smashing 7-0 win over South Decatur. At half time the band put on a dazzling show, and then the big moment was upon us. The winning float was presented by the class of 79 . And then... Miss Debby Fugate was crowned the 1974 Homecoming Queen. After the royal ceremonies were over, the team returned to the field to wrap up the game. The Pure Horizon played at the dance for all who wished to join in the fun. Another year, an- other success. Ah, Homecoming was over. RIGHT: Coach Gardner sends in a crucial play.

They had been chosen by Miss Welch to be in the play. Late one March evening, all sat dejected. The play was two weeks away and all was not well. The set was not finished and the lines were not learned. It seemed hopeless. But have no fear! The cast and set committee rallied. The set turned out to be a beauty. All the lines were learned and in their right order. The play was a smash! LEFT: Susan Schonegg stands quietly while Leasa Savage applies that all-important make-up. BELOW: Members of the cast.

(Mitch Butler, Susan Schonegg, Terri Seevers, David Crum, and Steve Richmond.) 15 Days of Exploring March 18 and 19 were our ex- ploration days this year. Every- thing from muzzle loading to flower arranging to fast dancing was offered either by local talent or by invited guests. Exploration days, now in its third year, brings a pleasant change into our normal curriculum. New and different hobbies and careers are intro- duced to students. These new fields of interest might never have ordinarily been investigated. Our exploration days are some- thing we at MHS should be proud of and should help them to contin- ue in future years. RIGHT: The Indiana State Police brought in a helicopter for the students to investigate. BELOW: Mr. Adams himself taught a class on wrestling. 16 TOP: Many students enjoyed the fast dancing class sponsored by Mr. Hunger and instructed by Sandy Cloyd.

The theme was Memories,” and the evening was beautiful. The juniors chose as their motto, . . .and suddenly nothing is the same. Their colors were red, white, and blue; their flower was the rose. Music was pro- vided by Millcreek Express. After the prom the caravan headed for the Starlite, where Buster and Billy and Law and Disorder were shown. 18 ABOVE: Enjoying the warm evening out-of-doors are (I. to r.) Kim Eisert and Dan Hendricks, SuAnn Gerster and Mark Busching, and Robin Collier and Tim Busching.

BELOW RIGHT: The inn was decorated with a lovely wishing well in front of which couples could have their pic- tures taken. 20 A Night of Honor The fourteenth annual Honor Night at MHS was held on May 8, 1975. Many students were recog- nized for scholastic achievement, athletic ability, and all round good citizenship. Several scholar- ships, both local and state, were given to seniors going on to further their education in some way. LEFT: For his third consecutive year, Bruce Green received the Tommy Thompson Free-Throw award. Bruce also received the Bobby Voss Mem- orial award. BELOW LEFT: Recognition of the outstanding students in the field of mathematics went this year to Joan Gibson and Donna Mullen. Joan also received the award for outstanding ability in science. BELOW RIGHT: Debby Fugate was one of three students who received awards for superior ability in art. Steve Schonegg and Jody Winters were also recipients of this honor. 21 The graduating class of 1975 is unique indeed . There could never be another class like this or any other class that has roamed the halls of MHS. The class of 1975 is one-of-a-kind in another respect also. They were the first class ever at MHS to have co- valedictorians. Joan Gibson and Jody Winters tied for first place in the class of 75. $ RIGHT: Evaluate your- self was Joan’s message to the graduating If seniors. BELOW RIGHT: Jody gtk stressed in her speech mm to be prepared for the future. 72 Will Be Missing Next Year 1 ABOVE: The salutatorian of a senior class is generally the second highest member of the class.

Bonnie Pruss, Connie Pruss, Carroll Rogrig, and Mike Eisert also acted as ushers. BELOW: No tears were shed by these graduates as they anxiously await their turn to take that last walk.” 23 A Vision ”Yesterday is already a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision but today, well lived, makes every yes- terday a dream and every tomorrow a vision of hope was the senior’s motto. Their colors were lemon yellow and mint green; their flower was the yellow rose. RIGHT: Carroll Rohrig assists Chri Fluegeman as she leaves the stage for the last time.

Two men head our ad- ministration. They make decisions that influence our daily lives. Behind these men are four ladies who guide and direct us along the path of learning. LEFT: Our chief executive, Mr. Elmer Heller. BELOW LEFT: Mrs. Jean Boyd, an aide to us all.

The teachers here feel that listening to their students is an important part of their job. They are often a good sounding block and make it easier for us to go on in life. Our faculty sets a fine example for us to follow. We are thankful for a good year.

The Board of Education The Board of Education of the Milan School Cor- poration serves as advisory and planning committee for the faculty and administration. The board con- sists of 5 members of the community all duly elected by the people in the school district. The school board was especially busy this year planning the new ele- mentary school to be completed for the 1976-77 school year. RIGHT: Mr. Heller presides over this Board meeting. BOTTOM: School Board members are (1. to r.) Mr. Daren Baker; Mr. Wayne Smith; Mr. Ken Myers, President; Mr. Robert Barton; and Dr. William Glover. 36 Much Needed Helpers At some time everyone needs help; whether it be typing tests, counseling students, or just subbing. This year Milan was fortunate to gain two new staff members. Mrs. Crank, our bookstore helper, not only kept the bookstore going but also ran off tests and did other various jobs for the teachers. Mr. Car- penter— although we were not sure what he was to do—did everything. Besides these helpers we had great subs. Among the list are Angie (Glover) Olds, SuEUen Craft, Mrs. Walker, and many others. LEFT: Mrs. Crank is busy typing up a final. BELOW LEFT: Coffeebreak time for substitute teacher Angie Olds.

Marie Curie No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings, William Blake With a Foreign Flair Contrary to popular belief, foreign languages are useful. Besides the obvious fact that a foreign language can be very helpful when traveling to other lands, classes teaching another language simply broaden one's education. Since many English words are derived from other na- tions, foreign languages help stu- dents to comprehend English a little better. ABOVE: Deidy gets a chuckle out of Spanish 1 class. The second year classes of: Latin and Spanish are usually quite small. ABOVE RIGHT is this year's Spanish II class with their instruc- tor Mr. Hornbach. Left to right are: G. Spurlock, G. Park, A. Smith, J. Stutler, T. Applegate, J. Willis, B. Dittmer, K. Grey, and C. Walker. BOTTOM RIGHT is Mr. Stock’s Latin II class. Seated are R. Park, K. Cornett, and R. Kraus. Standing are M. Stegemiller, T. Peak, S. Cole, and T. Blessing. 40 To Be Social The classification social studies” includes many different courses. All history and geography classes, government, and even psychology are found under this heading. Basic social studies courses are required for all stu- dents. A graduation requirement of all high school seniors is gov- ernment. In the last few years, however, seniors have had the option of replacing one semester of government with one semester of psychology. Thus, graduation at the end of first semester is now a possibility for most seniors. LEFT: Could Mrs. Droege's sev- enth grade history class really be using their twenty minute study period?! BELOW LEFT: Ruth Mockbee must have found something funny about government, but Mrs. Droege's not smiling! 41 Beethoven, Chicago, or Three Blind Mice? The Milan High School Band represents the instrumental portion of our music classes. The band takes part in concerts, contests, and the county music festival. The band also marches in parades and at the ballgames. Chorus is Milan’s vocal representative at festival, concerts, and contests. The Milan High School Girls Glee Club, an elite group formed from the chorus, represents us in these areas also. The Junior High Band and Chorus is the training ground for the high school's future performers. This year saw the addition of the music appreciation class. This class was form- ed to give students a better understanding of music. ABOVE: The newly instituted music appreciation class. RIGHT: Mr. Schein works patiently with the junior band saxophone players. 42 Creative Art This year the art room was fortunate enough to have Mr. Hunger as its new daily inhabitant. Not only were the girls obsessed by his looks at the beginning of the year; not only did he consent to being a can- didate in the Mr. Best Chest contest sponsored by the annual staff at the end of the year; but he's also very talented! Thus to many talented students he teaches the basic knowledge needed for drawing, sculpturing, designing, and creating. Next year’s art classes will have to work pretty hard to equal the output of the students during the past year. TOP: Mr. Hunger compliments Jeff Fuller on his drawing. LEFT: Diane Conradi and Donna Eversole converse over an artistic problem. BELOW LEFT: Jody Winters seems to enjoy her work in art. BELOW RIGHT: What ends up as a beautiful creation in string art be- gins with Jeannie Willis carefully aligning and hammering. 43 Shapiri up Working to get one's body in shape is sometimes a challenge. Both the girls' and boys' physical educa- tion classes have worked diligently to attain this goal. Calisthenics, dancing, running, and attempt- ing gymnastic stunts all play a major part in build- ing muscle tone to make each individual stronger and healthier. Understanding body functions, first aid, and general health are also important. We are proud of our teachers for the great job they do in helping students get to know themselves a little better. BELOW LEFT: Mrs. Baurley helps Connie Rhein- frank with a health question. BELOW RIGHT AND BOTTOM: The seventh grade Phys. Ed. classes shapin' up. 44 Chemicals No. Waves The fundamentals in mathe- matics and the sciences are basic classes for all students in any high school for they are a part of out everyday lives. Those students at MHS who choose to take elective courses of more advanced study in math and science find their curriculum a bit more challenging than the average student. TOP: Members of physics class listens attentively to one of Mr. White’s many lectures. ABOVE LEFT: Science for the eighth graders lasts twelve weeks. BOTTOM LEFT: Mr. Jim Ralston helps Tim Blessing and Mark Stege- miller with their dissecting in biology, a required course for all sophomores. 45 Equal Rights Is Home Economics for girls only? Not any more, because here come the guys. Even though Milan has had Home Ec. for boys in the past years, this was the first year for sewing. The guys actually made tank tops. Surprisingly the end result was pretty sharp. Keep up the good work guys and gals. ABOVE LEFT: Ruth Ison prepares a yummy cake. ABOVE RIGHT: Book work is an important part of Home Ec. too. RIGHT: David Higham and Tim Blessing work on their tank tops. Could you call them Man Lib- bers ?!? 46 The English Word The techniques, forms, and rules of both spoken and written English are essential for us all. Granted, English may not be the most interesting course of- fered at MHS; but those students who excel in the study of our English language already have a headstart toward a more pro- mising future. LEFT: Members of the junior literature class take notes as Mrs. Swango explains a passage from their books. ABOVE: Freshman literature. It’s not that bad--is it, Vickie? ABOVE: The senior and junior English classes took a field trip in April to see the movie Huckleberry Finn. Pictured is Ted White paying for his ticket. 47 Sowing and Sawing Too often we forget the vocational field of study at MHS. Vocational agriculture and industrial arts are two classes which prepare students to take their places in the world of work directly after high school. After all, college isn't for everyone. Vocational and technical jobs are the backbone of our economy. Remember, farming is everyone's bread and butter. ABOVE: Kim Hoffman and Kenny Mockbee begin their masterpieces with sanding and sawing. RIGHT: Today's agricultural world takes more book study than you think. Right, boys? 48 The Business World The Business classes have been hard at work this year, attempt- ing to develop skill and profi- ciency. Speed and accuracy are also two important words in the business world which are many times challenging goals to attain. Through daily practice, how- ever, the students have gained experience beneficial in the search for future job opportu- nities.

Mr. Ratledge led the seventh grade to a final rec- ord of twelve wins and three losses. Good job boys! 59 Spirit Leaders The cheerleaders of MHS did much to encourage school spirit this year.

James Boswell The rrExperienced99 The time has come—no more classes, no more homework, no more research papers. All the things that have influenced our lives and made them so full of joy and sadness will soon be over. Those friends that we have come to love will go their separate ways, and we must go ours. Those familiar faces will fade and new ones will take their places. As we enter the world of work or the realm of college, will anything Larry Allen ever be the same again?

Abraham Lincoln Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves Sir James Barrie We Believe in Music 94 The Milan Jr. and Sr. Band Department, under the direction of Mr. William Schein, is one of the most active groups in our school. Amid magazine sales, band tours, festivals, fudge sales, concerts, parades, and ticket sales, the members of the band not only have a lot of fun but also learn a lot about music and life in general. ABOVE: The Senior Band performing one of its spec- tacular football shows. RIGHT: President of the band, Larry Minger, plays for a TOUCHDOWN!! ABOVE LEFT: During the final marching performance for the senior members of the band, we find Treva Cunningham and Debbie Blessing leaving their shoes behind. As the announcer said, They'll be hard to fill. ABOVE RIGHT: Mr. Schein directs the junior band as they nervously perform in the winter concert. For some of them, this is their first time in front of a live audience. LEFT: The senior band takes its turn at performing in the winter concert. (Senior band officers are Larry Minger, President; Debbie Bonfer, Vice-President; and Joan Gibson, Secretary Treasurer.) 95 The Entertainers The Glee Club, Sr. Chorus, and Jr. Chorus have completed another exciting, entertaining year with several outstanding performances. They have shown perfection in each program they presented. Singing as a group, in tune, with correct diction, technique, and balance is sometimes difficult. It takes concentration, cooperation, and above all a special interest from each individual. We are proud that our students have been successful in their efforts. 96 There are certain requirements that have to be met before a girl can become a member of Glee Club. First, she must be a member of Sr. Chorus. Each girl must also try-out before she can be a member. The members are: BOTTOM ROW: L. Antras, L. Griffith, B. Coover, J. Rayner, T. Horton, S. Fraley, J. Winters, K. Klein, J. Clark, V. Craft, B. Bryant, R. Park MIDDLE ROW: T. Seevers, J. Ledger, K. Eisert, D. Mullen, D. Delap, T. Justice, K; Cornett, J. Kohl- meier, S. Cole, K. Wuellner, L. Prather, C. Butler, D. Fugate, S. Nocks, N. Ridenour. TOP ROW: L. Lockwood, J. Gibson, L. Amberger, P. White, D. White, T. Applegate, T. Cunningham, C. Volz, R. Jackson, H. Sheckler, R. Mockbee, S. Schonegg, L. Hall, M. Ulloa, E. Glover, L. Savage, R. Collier, G. Park. 97 The Key to Success Is Work Without a lot of hard work from those pictured on this page, there would be no yearbook. Many long hours even into the summer were spent by the staff to not only put together this book, but also to make enough money to have their work published. Treva Cunningham, copy editor, as she finally finishes a difficult page. BOTTOM: The 1974-5 Rebus Staff with sponsors Mrs. Waehaus and Mr. Baurley. 98 The paper staff had a very busy year. Not only did they publish a fine paper but also an extra addition to the school- Traces, the student publi- cation. TOP: The Staff. ABOVE LEFT: Our exchange students helped a great deal in writing the paper. ABOVE RIGHT: Elaine sees a bit of humor in one of the speeches. 99 by the People The Student Council, under the guidance and di- rection of Mrs. Barbara Dunker, is truly a government run by the people. The 1974-75 Student Council held their annual Homecoming dance, organized several convocations, held a parent-teacher conference, was very active in the heart fund campaign, survived another election and installation successfully, and helped bridge the communication gap between stu- dents and faculty. RIGHT: President Jeff Byard introduces Santa Claus (?! ?) at the Christmas convocation. BELOW: Members of the Student Council are: BOTTOM ROW: L. Carter, J. Fuller, R. Kraus, R. Park, V. Craft, T. Wullenweber, and C. Bear. SEATED: K. Wuellner (Sec.), Jeff Byard (Pres.), and J. Winters (Treas.). TOP ROW: Mrs. Dunker, M. Eisert, R. Collier, D. Mullen, D. Fugate, L. Griffith (V. Pres.), T. White, J. Carter, and C. Strunk. 100 The Cream of the Crop ABOVE: The National Honor Society for the 1974-5 school year was made up of the outstanding members of the Senior class as determined by the faculty. Members were SEATED (1. to r.): D. Bonfer, Mr. Gardner (sponsor), L. Hall, D. Rueter, J. Carter, T. Cunningham, F. Rohrig, J. Gibson, and E. Glover. STANDING: J. Winters, D. Fugate, D. Mullen, H. Sheckler, B. Green, R. Gilland, R. Jackson, R. McKittrick, J. Byard, D. Blessing, T. White, and G. Park. Installation of new members for the 1975-6 school year was held by the NHS in a combined ceremony with the Student Council installation. BELOW: The Future Teachers of America, with the helping hand of Mrs. Droege, sold dish towels and dish cloths as a money making project this year. The sales were a great success; and the FTA members used their money not only for an entertaining evening in Cincinnati, but also to purchase a subscription to an Indiana published magazine for the library. 101 The Letter Club To be a letterman, one must if necessity earn a letter. 250 points in any one sport qualifies a boy for a letter. 900 points in one sport and 200 in another qualifies him for a jacket. The system of points and lettering for girls is under investigation and change for next year, as is the boys’ system. So as of fall, 1975, Milan High will no longer have a Letter- men's Club. This year for the first time girls have lettered in sports, so next year's club will be called the Letter Club ! The 1974-5 Lettermen officers were Randy Foley, President; Steve Schonegg, Vice President; and Matt Huffman, Secretary Treasurer. TOP: Many boys at MHS earn their letter in football. ABOVE: Girls can earn points by playing volleyball. 102 Checkmate The 1974-75 Chess Club was very busy learning and demonstrating the basic elements of chess. The officers were Matt Huffman, president; Matt Grieve, vice-president; and Floyd Hunger, treasurer. At their meetings throughout the year, the members tested their wits with one another while maintaining a spirit of friendly competition. TOP; The members of the Milan Jr. and Sr. High Chess Club. LEFT: Bob McMillan maintains a good academic record, which is important to the membership of all organizations. 103 We've Got Spirit! We have really got spirit when it comes to supporting our In- dians--and we show it! That's because we are proud of our team and the way they represent us. Our goal is to let the guys know that whether we win or lose, we're backing them all the way. ABOVE: The members of the pep club did a fine job this year supporting our Indians. RIGHT: Rhonda McKittrick waits and wishes for a successful foul shot. 104 A World of Drama The world of drama is quite different from the world we normally live in. It's a world of make- believe, a world of heartache and forgotten lines, a world of make-up, a world of practice late into the night, and a world of success, happiness, and sat- isfaction after a job's well done. The Drama Club this year staged a three act play entitled Do You Trust Your Boyfriend? What is seen on this page, or on the stage, is only a small part of the total effort put forth to produce such a fine play. Members of the Drama Club had a busy year typing programs and tickets, making props, hanging posters all over town, making money, and applying make-up to those ten all-important people seen on stage. TOP: Would you like to buy some perfume? I'll make you a deal. . . (Lori Griffith and David Crum) ABOVE: I don't care who she is! My boyfriend is not seeing that girl upstairs until I pass judgment on her.

BELOW: JoAnn Carter, Elaine Haessig, Treva Cunning- ham, and Dorothy Leuthausser are cleaning up (?) after the convention. BOTTOM: The Sunshine Society. OPPOSITE PAGE: The Future Farmers of America. This year, as in years past, the members of the Sunshine Society have participated in various activi- ties to spread a little sunshine. Among these activities were Christmas caroling, making favors for ■ our teachers and for the Nursing Home patients, having Ideal Ladies, and supporting the Riley Chil- dren's Hospital. The Annual Sunshine Convention was held at Milan this year. The girls had a lovely day with a guest speaker, a fashion show, lunch, and musical enter- tainment provided. This year the spring dance was a combined effort of the Sunshine Society and the Future Farmers of America. A dinner was held for Milan members in the gym with a dance following it. Members of Sun- shine Societies from other schools were invited to the dance. The Future Farmers of America had a fine year. Their seed sales have amounted to over $1000; they won a majority of their games in basketball; and they made a nice showing in various judging contests. We should be thankful for these boys who work so hard to improve our future agricultural situation. 107 Another Olympics As always, the Latin Club held their annual Olympics in the spring. Everything from foot races to tug-of-war went together to compose a fun-filled evening for members of the Latin Club. RIGHT: Santa Claus Taylor presents Mr. Stock, Latin Club sponsor, with a Christmas gift from the Latin Club. 108 ABOVE: The Latin Club consisted of fifty-seven hard working members. A prerequisite for being a Latin Club member is to be enrolled in or success- fully completed one year of Latin. Spanish is the only other foreign language besides Latin that is offered at MHS. If a student is presently enrolled or has previously struggled through a year of Spanish, he is eligible to join Spanish Club. TOP: The thirty-two members of the 1974-75 Spanish Club. ABOVE LEFT: Having successfully completed two years of Latin, two years of Spanish, and spending a summer in English certainly qualifies Gail Park to be called a foreign language major. ABOVE RIGHT: Pam can verify that Spanish is not an easy class, but its a lot of fun. 109 Students Help Out Several departments in our school system could not function if it were not for the aid they re- ceive from students. These stu- dent workers give up their own free time—without any pay or credit—to help out. ABOVE: Those who help out in the office are (left to right) Lynn Prather, SuAnn Gerster, Matilda Anderson, Jeff Byard, Venette Browning, Ted White, Doug McKittrick, Mitchell Butler, and Randy Foley. Second se- mester, Tom Wise took over the duties of Mitchell Butler and Luwanda Hall replaced Jeff Byard. RIGHT: First semester the book- store was run by (left to right) Elaine Haessig, Bruce Green, and Jo Ann Carter. Debby Fugate and Donna Mullen (not shown) also worked. The second half of the year saw the addition of Mrs. Crank to the staff of MHS. She replaced the student workers in the bookstore. 110 LEFT: Mary Stella Mom Carr was assisted this year in the li- brary by Shirley Cole, Gail Park, Treva Cunningham, Vicki Cau- dill, Dennis Lewis, Genevia Spur- lock, Teena Hillman, Jeannie Willis, and Melony Walston (not shown). These students have done an excellent job and should be commended for their work. A special thanks also goes to Mrs. Lerada Walker who ran the li- brary while Miss Carr was in the hospital last fall. Pictured also are two students, Lois Lock- wood and Donna Mullen, who helped out part-time. BELOW: Seven girls helped out this year in the Physical Education department. Pictured left to right they are: BOTTOM ROW: Lois Byrd, Sandy Mullen, and Barbara Goodpasture. TOP ROW: Connie Pruss, Judy Allen, Debbie Bur- ford , and Lois Lockwood.

consecutive year 1 have had the honor, privilege, and responsibility of putting a year- book together. As graduation draws near, I realize that the spark existing at MHS is something unique. Those ardently involved grow in spirit, knowledge, and ability. Milan High has an atmosphere all its own. Existing is participating and sharing our joys and agonies with those we know best. As the time for parting grows near, some are sad, others are joyful; but to some, leaving MHS is only a stepping stone to the future. We must remember that life goes on. We create our own environment, and it effects every segment of our realization. Many months of hard work go into any yearbook. Not only a responsible staff, but also dedicated spon- sors are needed to organize, construct, sell, and finance our Rebus. I'd like to thank my staff; Mrs. Waehaus and Mr. Baurley, our sponsors; Mr. Deraid Ailes, our advisor; Mr. Green; and all our advertisers, boosters, and patrons. Without their work, advice, concern, and support, the 1974-75 Rebus could not have been possible. Joan Gibson Editor-in-Chief 134 Be someone. . .do something . . .get involved! In our rushed and hectic world today some- times it's difficult to even re- member who we are. One of the most important things in life is to be involved with our fellow stu- dents. We have hard battles to fight, our weapons being pride, encouragement, and ambition. Sometimes MHS is a world of its very own--one in which we study, laugh, cry, dream, and . . .get involved! But just Turn a Comer. . . 135 sen angelo, texas Individuality plays a great part in all aspects of life. Self development is essential for growth of emotions, mind, and body. Take time to examine your- self. Sometimes it is necessary to di- vorce oneself from the rest of the world and really analyze your own soul. Know- ing oneself is the first step to success, the most prominent element to living . . . . and Everything Changes 136
