Niagara College of Applied Arts and Technology - Yearbook (Welland, Ontario Canada)

I would like to congratulate the graduating students on their achievements while attending Niagara College. I hope in the years ahead that you will look back on your days at the College as a meaningful and productive experience. The past year has seen a considerable Increase, both in the numbers of campus student clubs and their memberships. The Varsity Athletics program has also been expended to include rowing and the intramural and recreational participation by students has grown considerably. Much of this is due to the excellent efforts of your Student Administrative Council. Graduation need not sever your ties with the College. We may be of continuing service to you even after you have entered the world of work. The College will always be available to provide for your continuing education needs and as we grow, your social and cultural needs as well. As members of the growing Niagara College alumni, congratulations on your past and present achievements and best wishes for future successes. DIRECTOR OF STUDENT SERVICES MESSAGE

As those of you who are in the graduating class complete this phase of your education and look forward to the future, we all sincerely wish you success in your chosen career. As you leave Niagara College, I would remind you that your accomplishments will be measured by your ability to keep an open mind, a keen and wholesome interest in your fellow-men and -women and continue to be a student throughout your lifetime. You are entering or re-entering the world of work at a time when many rapid changes are forecast for employers and employees in all walks of life and consequently you have a responsibility to give thoughtful consideration to the future and to prepare for it wisely. Consider the past - cherish its strengths and build on them. Use the wisdom and the experience of those who have gone before you but do not dwell on the past. Do not discard older ideas just because they are old. Consider their merit. Do not rush impetuously into the new just because it is new. Consider the merits of the new also. Perhaps a balance between the two should be your choice. It is my earnest wish that each of you may realize the goals which you have set for yourself and that you will be able to accept life, with its opportunities and limitations, joyfully and courageously and reach for higher heights within your chosen career. I will follow your fortunes with pride and look forward to hearing of your contributions to your vocation and those whom you serve. I am sure that the undergraduates are longingly looking forward to the day in the not-too-distant future when they will join your ranks. In the meantime, they will carry on the traditions you have fostered. To all the students of Niagara College I would exhort: Write your names in kindness, love and have mercy on the hearts of those with whom you come in contact year by year and you will never be forgotten. Your name and your good deeds will shine as the stars of heaven. Use your talents faithfully and they shall be enlarged; practise what you know and you will attain to higher knowledge. Jacqueline P. Robarts President PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE 10
