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
