Laconia High School - Lakon Yearbook (Laconia, NH)

Text from Pages 1 - 180 of the 1971 volume:

COLLAGE: an assembly of diverse fragments. WEBSTER ' S THIRD NEW INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY Through the 1971 LAKON theme, Collage , we have attempted to show that high school life is a collage of diverse events, studies, and thoughts. To say that high school life can he symbolized by a single object or event is im- practical. Our years at LHS have been full of many different activities, friendships, and chal- lenges all of which have led up to our day of graduation. In this yearbook we hope to capture all the facets of this year at LHS so that we will remember our years here as a rewarding and fulfilling experience. i ' ft ]t%i mm ' •:■ 5 ' ' ' STMAsIpirit at LHS ' i ADMINISTRATION 6-7 If Hill «ACONIAHIGHSCHOOl 1, IPWMiUnQUIIi ' p J A A 7- == - c o SENIORS 14-13 UNDERCLASSMEN 56-51 o CURRICULUM 74-75 c. c ORGANIZATIONS 92-95 ■ c SPORTS 120-121 SOCIAL 154-155 LAKON 1971 VOLUME XXXIV LACONIA HIGH SCHOOL iMconia, New Hampshire SENIORS DEDICATE WITH APPRECIATION Mr. William M. Hoban is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire. Previous to this time, he served his country during World War II and attended Washington College. During his six years at Laconia High School, Mr. William Hoban has not only been a conscientious teacher, but has spent many hours coaching J.V. Football and Baseball. Along with his other duties he coaches elementary school basketball. This man has proven his confidence in youth by giving many hours to their physical and mental improvements. Mr Hoban ' s genuine interest in preparing seniors for future years has made his Contemporary Problems classes very inter- esting. His friendly attitude and guidance will be remembered long after we have left L. H. S. For his feelings toward youth and his respect for them we, the class of 1971, gratefully dedicate our LAKON to Mr. Wil- liam M. Hoban. 1971 LAKON HONORS LONG TIME TRACK COACH Laconia High School has been home to Mr. Erwin G. Smith for twenty-five years. A graduate of Tufts University, Mr. Smith has attended the University of Mexico in Mexico City. As a Spanish teacher he has inspired students to continue trav- el and study programs in Mexico either through international programs or private contributions. L. H. S. has had several exchange students through his efforts to continue relations with other countries. Fall, winter, and spring track find him contributing endless hours to the improvement of track athletes. Not only does he spend many hours improving the team but also spends much time helping individuals. No one has given more to build up the track program at L. H. S. than Mr. Smith. In recognizing a man of his devotion we gratefully dedicate the 1971 LAKON to Mr. Erwin G. Smith. ADMINISTRATION nMiMM s 1970-71 SCHOOL BOARD Seated: Mr. John Ball, Superintendent, Mrs. Joan Veazey, Dr. Joseph Gage, Mrs. Elizabeth Farmlett. Standing: Mr. George Munsey, Dr. Roger Brassard, Dr. Walter Garger and Mr. Robert Irwin. SCHOOL BOARD MEETS WITH YOUTH The school board sponsored a meeting with the youth of the junior high for their opinions on current issues. Their main topic of discus- sion this year was again overcrowdedness. Vari- ous solutions were proposed, including an area school concept, divided sessions, and en- largement of the present system. The school department business rests mainly with the Har- vard Street administrators, who deal with the awesome task of education for the area ' s many students. Seated: Mrs. Nancy Bryant, Adult Education Director, Miss Esma Ford, Teacher Consultant. Standing: Mrs. Arleen Don- nelly, Administrative Assistant, Mrs. Doris Thibodeau, Secre- tary, Mrs. May Corriveau, Bookkeeper, and Mrs. Jo Sanborn, Secretary. This page donated by Irwin Motors MR. BALL FARES WELL HIS FIRST YEAR Achieving graduation is a milestone in your life for which you are to be congratulated. However, it is only a milestone and learning must continue throughout the rest of your years. Some people have never made it this far. For some this is the end of formal education. The rest will continue learning in a formal setting, but learn- ing is never-ending no matter which group is talked about. Knowledge that you have today will be only a step- ping stone to the knowledge needed for the tomorrows. In this day and age, it is necessary for us all to take every opportunity that is offered in order to provide for a fruitful life. I urge you to not turn your back on any chance given to you to improve yourself and help your fellow man. Life is too short not to make the most of it. f. SJi Superintendent ii .v Mr. Ball is pleased to announce an addition to the supervisory staff. The new assistant superintendent, Mr. Alexander J. Blastos will com- mence his duties on or about July 1. Mr. Blastos has been with the La- conia Supervisory Union for three years as principal of the Gilford Elementary School. The LAKON extends good wishes to Mr. Blastos in his new position. This page donated by Laconia Shoe Company — 4 mk III t Wouldn ' t you smile if you were recording grades? THEY MAKE THE SCHOOL TICK Mrs. Richardson always has a smile for Lakon! The school secretaries are always busy keeping student records, transcripts, and ex- cuses in order. They answer the telephone, sign students in and out, and in general, keep the central office running. The good health of students can be attributed to Mrs. Jones, our nurse, who gives emergency first aid and administers various health tests. Mrs. Holland stays cool under Jim ' s barrage of questions! Our Mother-away-from-home, Mrs. Jones, tackles health questions. Mrs. Bowen ' s happy homecoming was LHS ' s loss. 10 This page donated by the Laconia Evening Citizen Almost as soon as this message is read, many of you will be joining The Estab- lishment. Some of you will resist the as- sociation for a short time while you seek additional experience and education. Nevertheless The Establishment rep- resents a management and a philosophy which has come under your close scruti- ny and, in most cases, criticism. Now you are approaching the time when you will be in a position to make changes by legal means. The lowering of the voting age will place you in the spotlight, and those young people following you will be giv- ing close attention to changes which you initiate. We who will be retiring from the ac- tive work of society have had our fail- ures, weaknesses, and inadequacies pointed out to us by you and we step aside to give you the opportunity to make a better world. We shall watch closely your contribution to science, med- icine, education, and government. How will your work be evaluated by those who follow. ' Can you cure the mental and physical ills. ' Can you give us purity of lands and minds. ' Can you give us world peace? CLASS OF 71 RECEIVES GOOD WISHES PRINCIPAL Vine people deserve good fortune. There- fore I sincerely wish it to each of you. VICE PRINCIPAL 11 The decisions of L.H.S. students are guided by Mrs. Griffin, Miss Stevens, and Mr. Engle. The work of our guidance counselors includes giving tests, distrib- uting college catalogues, discussing S.A.T. scores, arranging for college in- terviews and publicizing scholarships. Scheduling of each pupil is also the job of the guidance department. Each stu- dent is an individual and each student is individually helped to make his future successful. Mrs. Griffin will be remembered by many grateful students. Miss Stevens works hard at her new job. Mr. Eagle — Always ready to help! or What do I do to go to Harvard? ? HELPING STUDENTS PLAN THEIR FUTURES 12 Sue and Ann don ' t approve of eating five pies for a prize. 1 Members go over the pie-eating contest surveys. The newly formed club for girls is the Astra Club, a service organization which is a branch of the Altrusa International. Under President Debbie Brassard, the club cleaned the school flags, sponsored a bake sale, and sold L.H.S. stationery. An exciting pie-eating con- test with students as contestants is planned for later in the school year. L. H. S. HAS FIRST ASTRA CLUB IN THE EAST Secretary, Karen Makris calls the roll as Debbie looks on approvingly. Anne voices an opinion on a prospective pie-eating contestant. 13 Throughout the past years, as students and as young adults, we have arrived at the conclusion that nothing comes easy. This is especially true when ap- plied to our education. It has been a diffi- cult task to perform well as students and still enjoy life. We have managed to pull together as a class and it has really paid off, but the hardships are not over. The time has come to apply what we have learned both scholastically and in our every day association with our fellow students, our parents, and our friends. Unity among people is important. Let ' s try and spread this unity when we move beyond the halls of L.H.S. We have made it work here just by being together. Thank you for letting me be your pres- ident. AjU ' y yr .c yL- K President PRESIDENT AND EDITOR ADDRESS CLASS OF 71 What the future holds for all of us is unknown, but the LAKON staff has tried to put the past year into the yearbook with an outlook of fond memories. The losses, victories, and accomplishments are all part of our high school years. It is the LAKON staff ' s hope that this year- book will serve as a remembrance of our years at Laconia High School — memo- ries that will linger constant and true. As we look at the LAKON in the years to come, let us hope that we have not lost the hopes and aspirations that we set forth as seniors. My personal thanks to all who con- tributed in publishing the 1971 year- book. To compile the necessary material for a publication of this size takes many hands and I deeply appreciate the time and effort given by all.

Selected for high aca- demic standing, these students completed one year ' s work in a chosen subject and English in six weeks of intensified study. Approximately two hundred students from New Hampshire schools attended each year. Along with the studying, many new friends were made through the ex- perience. The Six Finalists Seated: Joan Gozonsky and Carol Burgess. Standing: Gary Hammond, Paul Genova, and Ken Colburn. Absent: James Johnson. Six of Laconia High ' s seniors were recognized as National Merit Finalists this year. The qualifying test, which was given in February of the junior year, was the basis for determining semi-finalist status. Applications were made for schol- arships, and the results are to be an- nounced in June. It is unusual to have more than one finalist in a school, so La- conia High teachers and students can be proud of this achievement. 102 THE POLLUTION RESOLUTION IS DEBATED The National Forensic League had a fairly active season this year. Attending tournaments at Bishop Guertin, Trinity High, U.N.H., and special varsity over- nights at Dartmouth College and Holy Cross College, L.H.S. debaters argued the pollution resolution. Laconia sponsored a regional tournament in December which approximately twenty New Hamp- shire schools attended.

Visits of foreign students to Laconia High School added new interest to the International Relations Club. The stu- dents came to meetings to speak and show films of their native countries. The club solicited funds for the sponsorship of a foreign orphan from service groups in Laconia, and a bake sale was also held to raise funds. Under Debbie Buell, the annual I.R.C. Giffeehouse, held in the cafe, had a big turnout. A large profit was made; enough to pay for the orphan and to get next year ' s club off to a good start.

LOS ACTIVIDADES ESPANOL The theme of the Spanish Club is being seen in a new light this year. Having stu- dents from South American countries studying at our school has increased the enthusiasm and interest of students. Span- ish-orientated food sales, fiestas, and ban- quets are being undertaken this year. Steve and Mike say Adios to their Spanish friend.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS SERVE THE COMMUNITY Brenda serves as model at a grooming session. A Christmas party for children and a snow party on Valentine ' s Day started the year off for the Future Homemakers of America. Spring fund raising activities and Christmas and Thanksgiving food baskets were some of the services pro- vided by the group for the needy of La- conia. Annually, the F.H.A. assists with the valuable work done by the Red Cross Bloodmobile, which visits Laconia. The final touches are applied to the eyes. This year, the library cadets continued to help Mrs. Sinionds after school and during study periods. The faithful work- ers signed out books, straightened shelves, and helped make the library an important part of scholastic life in many other ways. Funds to purchase new books and library materials were raised during the annual book sale in late November. Mr. Sullivan ' s assistants provided the visual aids which added so much to lec- tures and classwork. The new materials available to us have expanded the world of the classroom.

Following an overwhelmingly success- ful season under Coach Don Stephenson and assistant Coach James McCracken, the Ski Team travelled to Berlin for the an- nual Class A State Meet. For the third year in a row, the Sachems copped the New Hampshire title. This year, Laconia was fortunate to be chosen the host for the New England Schoolboy Champion- ship. Our Sachems swept the Alpine events under the fantastic skiing of Kent Yale. Overall, we placed third under de- fending champions Edward Little High School of Auburn, Maine, and Brattle- boro, Vermont High School. iLt 133 Although the track team was never able to put it all together due to injuries and a late spring, they won the Lakes Region Meet and placed fifth in the State Meet. Laconia was well represented at the Meet of Champions, with Doug Went- worth taking third in the hundred yard dash and the always strong Sachem relay Quartet capturing second place. Perhaps the greatest tribute to the 1970 track team was that so many of its members qualified to compete in the State Meet. Doug and Mike steam down the track to capture victory.

Led by seniors Doug VC ' entworth and Mike Cassavaugh, the Sachems continued to show strength in the 50 yard and 300 yard dashes. Lee Sturtevant, a newcomer on the squad, also managed to produce a few points in these events. Junior Dennis Ouellette overcame injuries, and by winning his event in the State Meet, became New Hampshire ' s top hurdler. Jay Baron set a new school record for the 1000 yard run, and Jon Hildreth held his own in the mile.

Although their batting could have been better and their swinging faster, their spirit was sensational! Even though our 1969-70 Softball season was not quite sensational, Laconia ' s GAA managed to defeat such tough opponents as Ashland and Kingswood with scores of 25-15 and 15-10 respectively.

A balmy night and a case of hairspray set the scene for the 1970 Junior Prom, Camelot. The atmosphere was complete with drawbridge, King ' s Court, and a lovely spring garden. Our Queen, Theresa Landroche, looked radiant amidst the giant murals and crepe-patterned sky. Work and dedication were personified in the decorations. Our stone walls were colored with gray powder which necessitated the many cans of hairspray! 157 KNIGHTS AND FAIR LADIES OF THE ROUND TABLES Special features of the evening were music pro- vided by Ted Herbert ' s Orchestra, and a delicious light buffet served by Mr. and Mrs. St. Pierre. Following the prom, the Winnipesaukee Yacht Club was the meeting place for all juniors. As always in Camelot, even the weather con- spired to make it a perfect weekend!

AQUARIUS FOR THE CHANGING TIMES Signs of the Zodiac set the scene. M The sophomore class worked eagerly selling light bulbs to raise money for their annual reception. The reception was changed a little this year by allowing school clothing for dress. The changing times were reflected in the theme of the reception which was Aquarius. Informal dress — a new approach. 159 Two UNH visitors entertained us well. A big turnout for the annual I.R.C. Coffeehouse enabled the sponsorship of a foreign orphan through the I.R.C. On Saturday, February 27th, members worked feverishly turning the cafe into a coffeehouse. With the Sachem Singers, Peter Gamache, George Aldrich, and popular groups from U.N.H., the audi- ence had quite a cross-section of music. The crowd takes a seventh performance stretch.
