— 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

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

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
