Shelly Jones With graduation only months away, I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce you to myself. As well as being a member of the Ladies Intermediate Softball Team for my home- town, Fort Eire, I am inter- ested in horses and skiing. Although unsure in the beginning of exactly what the course was offering me, I have no doubt that my typing skills as well as my voca- tional art courses were a def- inite asset in preparing me for Graphic Arts. Now that I have nearly reached my goal, I have begun to set many more. One of which is to someday work in an agency from nine to five with week- ends off. My highest aspira- tion however, is to learn to be satisfied with what I feel is my best. At present, I am majoring in Process Photography and Design but have experience in Typography as well as run- ning a Multilith 1250. I would like to work specifically in a photo department but feel that employment in any of these other fields would make for a great beginning.

artistic.This is the reason why I took both Typography and Art in my second year at Niagara College. In the future, I would like to expand in the field of Graphic Arts. Preferably, in that part dealing with Typography. For myself, I know that I couldn ' t be totally fulfilled without a career. So, after I graduate i would like to work with a firm which will provide me with I have always had a strong interest in art. Now, my interest has developed into the form of oil painting. Also, while I was in high school, my interest lay in Math and Science. Therefore, my career decision became a difficult one. I had to find something that was both technical and artistic. I finally discovered my future field in Graphic Arts, as it involves both the technical and the many opportunities. In closing, I would like to thank all those students that have made the past two years extremely enjoyable for me. I wish for them future success in the field of their choice. Dawn Halpenny

the world of advertising. Windsor is my next destination. As you can see, I love to travel, and plan to do more of it in the future. As unusual as this may sound to you, I find all four majors quite intriguing and interesting, but I could only choose two (Typography and Art). The mechanical part of the commercial art interests me very much. I will try to use I was born in Montreal into a family of 9. 1 worked full time in the credit department of the Montreal Star before I decided to take Graphic Arts at Niagara College— oh well, that ' s another story! I found that I couldn ' t express myself at work the way I can through Graphics. This program constitutes one stepping stone to my career. It gives me some idea of what IS waiting for me out there in my typographical skills as well as my knowledge in photography in my next employment. I would also like to take a few drafting courses when I leave Wetland. I am sure the future will be very promising for me as well as for my other classmates. I shall not forget all the friends I made here in Welland and in St. Cath- arines, where I reside. Johanne Lalonde
