FUREWURD Our forefathers who landed on the bleak and desolate shores of our country in the seventeenth century gave us our heritage. These valiant men and women had but one purpose in mind, to establish a freedom which they had been denied. This heri- tage, this freedom, for which so many have fought valiantly, is now ours to rededicate. We, the members of the class of 1948, the citizens of tomorrow, dedicate ourselves to the ideals and principles formulated and established in our behalf. With this thought in mind we have chosen for the theme of our yearbook, Our Heritage of Freedom. In the following pages we have endeavored to commemorate the privileges and free- doms which we have enjoyed in our years at Laconia High. JOHN HOUNSELL 2
