HIOTT MENTOR
Since coming to G-W, Dean
John Hiott has been the man re
sponsible for Joe’s knowledge of
the camera and dark room. Im
pressions Joe had of his first
pictures were horrible, “but,” he
said, "Dean Hiott kept encourag
ing me.” His main interest lies
in action shots, largely in the
field of sports.
Besides the five to eight hours
Joe spends in the dark room each
week, he works a’””''T'fmately
ten hours in the cafeteria.
He is vice-president of the
newly formed Click Club and a
member of the Monogram Club.
