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

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.

Robin Morse A lifelong resident of Nia- gara Falls I received my high- school education at Stamford C. V. I. .While there I earned my O.S.S.H.G.D and school letter. English, math and art were my preferred subjects along with partici- pation in basketball, football, and volleyball. Upon graduation I chose Niagara College because of my interest in art, both fine and commercial and the fact that Niagara offered a com- prehensive Graphic Arts pro- gram. Its proximity to my home in Niagara Falls made my choice easier. My first year at Niagara provided a very broad and interesting look at the field I have chosen. Typography interested me greatly, thus in my second year I chose Typography and Art as my two majors. My preference is Typography especially Com- puterized Typesetting. My goals for the future de- finitely include a career in Computerized Typesetting, as I find this work both chal- lenging and intriguing. As for the present — If I could take one moment in my hands, Mister I ain ' t a boy, no I ' m a man, and I believe in a prom- ised land.
