'l'lll: WHITE HOL'HIi IET'HSIIINELTUN TO THE 1973 COLLEGE GRADUATES: I am inclined to be sparing with words of congratulations, advice, and challenge to this year's college graduates, for you hear more than enough of them at commencement time, and you are eager to turn from words to action. From early childhood, for the most part, the classroom has been your world. Now the world becomes your class- room. The education you have gained so far is precious capital. As you invest it in the service of mankind, it will continue to grow and pay you rich dividends. Your opportunities for service and achievement are wide. For the first time in your lifetime, the world is on the threshold of an era of lasting peace. The United States is astir with the forces of a profound renewal -- social, economic, political -- and reaching for new possibilities in its third century of independence. The coming age will belong to you. America is grateful for what you are, and much in need of what you can become. I wish you Godspeed on the great adventure that lies ahead.

Fiorello H. LaGuardia Community College Memorandum TO: ALL INTERNS Date: SPRING 1973 NF 1 SuMed: hBSLNToEISN Yearbook Staff From: It has been broughtto my attention that the attendance record of this department is a disgrace to our gracious benefactor who, at your request has given you your job. Due to lack of consideration for your Jobs with so fine a company, as shown by such frequent absenteeism, the following changes are in effect as of today: SICKNESS: NOT AN EXCUSE....WE will no longer accept your doctor's note as proof, as we believe that if you are able to go to the doctor you are able to come to work. DEhTH: Other than your own. This is no excuse......there is nothing you can do for them, ano we are sure that someone else with a lesser position can attend to the arrangements. HOWEVEP, if the funeral can be held late in the afternoon we will be glad to let you off one hour early, provided that your share of the work is ahead enough to keep the job going in your absehCe. LEAVE OF hBSENCE: iFor an operatioane are no longer allowing this practice. We wish to discourage any thoughts that you may need an operation, as we believe as long as you are an employee here, you will need all of whatever you have and you should not consider having anything removed. We hired you as you are and to have anything removed would certainly make you less than we bargained for. Anyone having an operation will he fired immediately. DEATH: tYour ownl This will be accepted as an excuse, but we would like two weeks notice, as we feel it is your duty to teach someone else your job. Also, entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. In the future, we will follow the practice of going in alphabetical order. for instance, those whose names begins with A will go from 8:h5 to 9:00, 'B will go from 9:00 to 9:15 and so on. If you are unable to go at your time, it will be necessary to wait until the next day when you turn comes again. If any infraction of the above is noted, immediate termination of employment will result. BEST OF HEALTH ............
