Tom Hunt, Part Camera All Determination by Laurence].

Sasso Jr .

" If you 're rea ll y into your work , the came ra become a part of you ."

but Leac hin g, h e found , was not hi s metier .

Tom Hunt , RIC '73, IVoonsocl<el Call photographer, a mbiti o us, reflective abo ut his chose n career, is into his work. A tran sfe r to RIC from th e Bosto n Museum Sch oo l of Fine Ans, h e ea rn ed his BS in Art Educati o n

Tom went to work as a photograp her full time with th e TVoonsocl<et Call in J an uary 1973. It was an easy transition. For two years h e had been ea rnin g ex tr a cash part -tim e at the paper while h e was at RIC.

H e discharges n ervou s energy. Loo kin g lik e a turtl e-nec k shirt mod el from a n Esquire ad , Tom smil es quick as a strob e l ight. H e has the looks a nd suggests the mi en of an actor. "We try to ge t mor e th a n a pic tur e," he exp lains the phi losophy at

the Call. "We want something out of it."

\1\/oonsocket is a closely knit community . The pap er views it s role as a vehicle for loc al familie s to lea rn about each oth er and what is going on in their own backyard. " It's a warm city. I like '#oonsocket," Tom , a naLive, observes. "The Call is r ece ptiv e. They let you initiat e proj ects,,,d eve lop an idea , do photo essays ... Perhaps paramount is th e fact that the pap er is photo oriented - gives its five man staff of photographer s encouragement and freedom to experim ent. It is rar e wh en a city pap er regularly gives space on its front

page for a five column human interest photo as the Woonsocket Call do es. Good phoLos ea rn promin ent cred it lin es too , a nd this is important to the man lik e Tom Hunt who spe nd s hour s stud yin g pi ctur es to under sta nd what distinguishes a grea t photo from an ordinary one. "You ju st look and look at pictur es all of th e time ," h e emph asizes. As if to reinfor ce hi s point h e ges tur es toward a coffee table in hi s apa rtm ent pil ed hi gh with magazines, old L ife issues promin ent amo ng them, and books of photos. The apartment wh ere h e liv es with hi s wife, the former J ea nn e Ledu c, is o n L a Francois Boul evard in \1\1oonsocket.

" It gets a littl e bit tough for her," h e reflects. " I frequently have to work weekends and sh e works for the stal e and h er time o(f is on th e weekend. That is the worst part of the job. "

The best part, of course, is that he is being paid to do what he lov es to do - take photos. A growing collection of prints which he feels are his best work reveal the range of his interests. Taking portrait photos and sh oot ing candid views of well-known people are two types of photography that attract him . Fashion phoLograp hy is another. He feels that his portfolio is on I y now reaching the leve l at which he is willing to consider an exh ibit. "I h ave 25 or 30 prints that I have enough personal feeling for to show to people and say 'here's my work'" , he says diffidently. The stateme nt is a fair measure of the stringency of his self-imposed standards when you consider that he has taken thousands of photos. But someday Tom Hunt hopes to be doing magazine and fashion photography or perhaps enjoy a rcpu ta tion (or portraiture approaching that o( someone like Karsh of Ottawa. So, he wants to give that littl e bit extra to his work which is to him an art as well. "Whatever is well done I like", he says flashing the strobelight smi le.

Yours has been a valued voice in the deliberation o[ the executive board of the Alumni Association and your colleagues cherish your integrity, your efficiency and your frankness." The John Fitzgerald Kennedy Award was presented to Carol J.

This remarkable contribution to the community through your exemplary and thoroughly professional work as a newspaper writer reflects the spirit of the late John Fitzgerald Kennedy and the ideals of Rhode Island College ... " Dr. Charlotte R. Coe, was recognized with The Faculty-Staff Award.

consLanLly changing needs of Lhe stuclent and the community. As an ~cti~e ach ocate of the righLs of every rncl1\'1dual you have cleliberaLely in\'olvecl Lhe thinking of your professional staff ancl o[ your students in the development of the curriculum, and your commitment to the future has fostered a program that will provide the basis for further growth." Her outstanding achieYemen t in t~1efield of read_ing brought recogniuon to Dr. l\Ianon Leary l\IcGuire, 12: "Since 1965 you have been a member of the faculty of the University of Rhode Island where you now direct the Graduate Reading Center. You have served as reading consultant to the Rhode Island Department of Education and you are director of the New England Consortium for the Right to Read. Crowning your accomplishments is the deserved success of the Croft In-Service Reading Program which you co-authored and which signals a significant breakthrough in the teaching of reading." 0

Dr. Thomas Pezzullo, '6Â°1, who is director of educational research at URI, served as toastmaster. Lynette Blackmore, '73, was general chairman of the Awards Dinner. ,\ 1
