INTERVIEW WITH MR. J. FISHER by Jean McNally XC Mr. Fisher operates a well known portrait photography studio on Macdonnell Street in Guelph, and we consider him an expert in his field. Question: What is the best way to get a start in Studio Photography, sir? Answer: lf I were entering the occupation again, I should handle it this way: gain my technical knowledge from a trades school or photographer friend, then start work as an apprentice. In this way. you learn not only how to produce the pictures you want, but also, how to handle customers and pro- mote good public relations. Question: How would a high school student know if this career is for him? Answer: I believe most successful people in my field have known ever since grade school that they wanted to be professional photographers. In other words, most high school students should know whether or not they want to enter this business. Question: Is the field crowded? Answer: That is entirely dependent on the man. If his work is just average, there will be much competition. lf, however, his work is better than that of his rivals, there will be a much clearer field for him. Question: How is the pay? Answer: Of course, that of the apprentice is just enough to live on. Later on, he earns according to his ability to take good pictures and to attract and retain customers. A good salary for a successful photographer would be somewhere in the neighbourhood of one hundred and twenty-five dollars a week.

This group is only a small part of many groups which are held in universities and high schools throughout the world. At our meetings we discuss the Bible, sing hymns and have speakers or, as a variation, quizzes such as twenty questions. This year we were very fortunate in hearing some missionaries from South America, Brazil, and also from India who told us of their life and their work in these countries. Entertainment such as squashes when we have hayrides, Jeans Jambourees or a party at the Y.M.C.A. was held every two months. Out of town I.S.C.F. groups also attended these parties and good times were enjoyed by all. -Barbara Thomas XIIA I Cadet Band I
