(5) DEDICATION E. L. DEMMON

FoR HIS RECORD OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FOREST RESEARCH, his ability to bring the message of forestry and conservation in general to the public, his interest in the training and develop­ ment of young foresters, and for his helpful suggestions and guidance to the Forestry Club of the University of Minnesota, we affectionately dedicate this issue of the GOPHER PEAVEY· ALUMNI NEWS to E. L. Demmon, Director of the Lake States Forest Experiment Station. We welcome you back to the Lake States after your absence of more than twenty years. The South's loss has been our gain and we look forward to a period of forestry development in the Lake States as active as were the years you served as Director of the Southern Forest Experiment Station.

L Foresters' Day M erle M eyer

It seems to be one of the peculiarities of human na­ ture that eventually relegates any event practiced over a period of years to the status of 11tradition." Too often, however, the instigators soon become lost to mem­ ory and no one knows the why and wherefore of the occasion. Foresters' Day was first begun in 1937, and it was to those individuals and their efforts that the 1948 Foresters' Day was dedicated. According to the graybeards peering with misty eyes through the ivy at the memory of "them good old days," men used to be MEN. What has caused this avowed dissipation of the Foresters' physical prowess down over the years is not quite clear. Since there seemed to be no immediate solution by way of ten day physical culture courses or atomic breakfast cereals, the presum­ ably puny wretches constituting the foresters of today went ahead to make Foresters' Day of 1948 a reason­ ably good echo of the giants of yesteryear. Apparently they did so in a manner as to not create too much tur­ moil under the head stones. Contrary to former practice of student groups prof­ fering representatives, the queen candidates were select­ ed by a roving scout committee (volunteers, natcherly). From the lovelies who were selected, Shirley McDonald was voted Daughter of Paul. Her male comrades in nobility for the day were: Jack Anderson, a senior, as the Son of Paul; and Professor R. M. 11Apple" Brown, as the Uncle of Paul (more about the Prof. later). Although the Foresters' Ball on Frid.ay night was a close squeak, financially, what with a gold-plated or­ chestra, it was a notable success.

( .24) High point of the assembly program, EmCed ably by Bill Miles, was the Strong Man act of Ralph Nord­ strom, alias ((Rudolph the Great," alias ((Honey Bear" (puny forester, Ha!) . The Great Rudolph amused and amazed all and sundry in his lifting of an 800-pound bell bar and splitting a log into dimension stock with one blow of a boy scout hatchet. What would normally have gone down as some of the great feats of physical strength of all time were shattered, however, when a prop man inadvertently removed the 800-pound bell bar from the stage with one hand without first waiting for the curtain to come down. Needless to say, said prop man retired in hasty, apologetic retreat to the outer halls with the irate Rudolph in hot pursuit. The remainder of the well-rounded program consisted of a film on animal life presented by the Museum of Natural History, followed by an interruption of the M.C. by an impromptu(?) skit of a raucous nature by the rowdy element of the audience. Dr. Kaufert gave a resume of the history of Foresters'.

Assembly events were dosed by the presenting of the royalty to the audience. The Daughter of Paul and her attend­ ants proceeded to the stage under a barrage of ttOh's," ''Ah's" and whistles that would have done credit to Betty Grable on a USO foxhole tour during the Battle of the Bulge. The field events which followed can be summed up in three words: Beards, Busses and Brawn. Great credit must be given to the heinous forester in the past who, with the devil in his soul and a gleam in his eye, gave us the delightful custom that permits the Son of Paul, the Beard, and anyone else who can sneak in, the cha.nee to buss the Daughter of Paul on her ruby red lips. As mentioned before, Professor Brown, the Uncle of Paul, was a man to be remembered. After crowning the Daughter of Paul, the intrepid Professor broke the tape before the gun sounded, in warmly kissing the Daughter before it was made official.

In years previous, the citizens of the southern half of Clearwater County, Minnesota - chat which comprises the bulk of the area of Itasca Park, knew of the For­ estry School and of the fine young gentlemen who each year pursued their studies there. Oldcimers of this area will probably throw chose previous expeditions into the category of "The good old days" in view of the motley crew that put in its appearance in that locality during June and July of 1947. The group comprised about seventy-odd souls with the Corporation under the man­ agement of Jim Peterson, President; Don Meyer, Treas­ urer; and Mere Ingham and Ralph Sombs, Co-stewards. After initial arrangements had been made as to who was to bunk where and other organizational matters were ironed out, the newness of things wore off and ev­ eryone tended to hit the books. Things rolled along rather pleasantly with the field work in bugs, birds, silvics and mensuration taking up most of the day's time. Slowly but surely, other pleasures made their in­ roads on the studies of the bulk of the group. It was only a short time before there was a scramble for the boats after supper. One of the most adept scramblers was Dave Sedgwick, who, with such able helpers as "Carolina Wobbler" Raye and Don Meyer, managed to bring in some nice strings of fish. This is only to mention a few of the ardent fishermen in camp. The one sour note about the whole fishing situation was the fact chat many were in favor of catching the fish, but some­ how were not available when it came time to clean them. Eventually, little groups were able to scout about and find their way to various and sundry places in the vicin­ ity. Nightly excursions to Bauman's Store and Doug­ las Lodge became pretty much a matter of habit. Those without transportation had to be more or less content to trudge along State Highway 92. Not that everyone was confined to Highway 92, for there were Olson and Larson, intrepid canoeists, who would each evening paddle to Douglas Lodge. Ocher water travelers were (30) Oemichan and Nygaard, who managed to row one of the camp boats to the same destination, but in doing so, acquired quite a few blisters. Most of the fellows were content, however, to head for Bauman's when in search of an evening's enjoyment. On one occasion, the social director of Douglas Lodge invited the group to a dance to be held at the Lodge to entertain a group of young women. It seems, however, that those who did attend never became aware of the invitation until Bauman's had closed for the evening. Thus those who made their way to the Lodge were in high good spirits. Since the young women were not around by the time of their arrival, the bearded horde decided to vocalize for any­ one chat remained within earshot. Eventually, the Lodge closed and this melodic group was found singing its way up H ighway 92. It was later learned by letter that the Director of Seate Parks was present and attempting to sleep at the time of the vocalizing. Further, that the management frowned on any possible recurrence of similar experience. The final rebuff from the local citizenry came shortly before the session ended, when someone introduced a small snapping turtle to Bauman's Store. When the discovery of the turtle was made, the tumult that was created was quite deafening - especially after it had been retrieved from an ice cream freezer. For informa­ tion on other places of entertainment, it might be well to buy M. William Tellekson's monograph, 11 A Key to Clearwater County Recreation Parlors" (based on geo­ graphic and economic characteristics) .

Aside from these aforementioned excursions, there were periods that were spent in earnest study. It was not uncommon to find the lights blazing well after mid­ night in most of the cabins as well as the laboratories. This was particularly true before entomology quizzes. Incidentally, an innovation was developed in the tech­ nique of catching the elusive Luna Moth. A prerequi­ site for this is a car with fairly bright headlights - then as one drives slowly down the LaSalle T rail with net men seated on each of the front fenders, the Lunas will be attracted by the light and thus are easily cap- CCon•inued on p• ge 62) (31) The Cloquet Corporation Howie Olson

Days can dawn in Cloquet with a pristine shine like the beginning of the world. It is a world empty in many places of men. Sunlight fills the small spaces in the broken canopy. Pines reach skyward, well formed and vigorous with growth, in the very shadows of the smoke­ stacks of industry. From the rim of a swamp a group of bitterns, probing for breakfast, suddenly rises up. These are the attractions of a quarter afield for Minne­ sota's forestry seniors. The incomparable spring wea­ ther: the transition of seasons as winter melts into spring and spring blossoms into summer; the trees, the animals, and the challenge to apply book knowledge to field con­ ditions are all an integral part of this great experience. Something in Cloquet's tangy air has made time spent there an inseparable memory for forestry alums. Even though other phases of college life may go unremem­ bered, experiences and classmates from Cloquet are never forgotten. This yea.r's Corporation with its peculiarities and many characters was similar in most respects to the many that have gone before. It was a cold April Fool's morn­ ing when twelve fools, hereinafter referred to as the Cloquet Corporation of 194 7, filed into the library for 11Pop" Allison's stock lecture number one on the history of the station. . The weather stayed cold for a number of weeks, but this gang got hot in a hurry. Considering the presence of such hot-shots as Wife-and-Kid Filmore and I-wanna­ get-married Jacobs, led by soap-box-orator Chet Olson, things warm up naturally. Others like C-wagon Col­ lins and Loud-mouth Anderson weren't much good as cooks, but up held the class academically. The inhabi­ tants of Shan Gri La Casino: Hendry, Kuehn, Olson and Lind, although unhappy to have intruders eat Mrs. Kuehn's candy, always welcomed the opportunity to win some money at an 11honest" game of chance. Mogren and Nelson thought the wild life curriculum included ( 32) fishing, hunting and boating. Accordingly, they equip­ ped themselves with rods, reels, guns, traps, day birds, outboard motor and a four-legged bowser named Bryn. Law, who spent thr?e years in the Army learning to goldbrick was man enough to take on the presidency. In fact, he has since located himself in Arkansas wh2re a good goldbrick is recognized as the local hero. To describe to our readers our academic pursuits would be folly since those who have attended Cloquet know that other activities far outshine those concerned with school; and for chose who have yet to atten::l, dras­ tic changes are in the offing which would only make you wish you were born a few years sooner. Along with our management and silvicultural plans­ wildlife week and four field trips highlighted our pleas­ ant spring quarter. In nur:;ery practice and field plant­ ing we are responsible for the Pamila Jane plantations east of the lookout tower. These plantings took place the day Filmore's famous daughter was born-hence the name. A deer drive in the middle of a raging snowstorm convinced us that Professor ((Wild Bill" Marshall was wisely named. Our mouse census was good for a lot of laughs, as only one lonely critter was live trapped dur­ ing an entire week's observation of 144 traps. Field trips to the renowned Cut Foot Sioux Experi­ mental Forest, Rice Lake Game Refuge, and the fac­ tories of Cloquet were very interesting, enlightening and much enjoyed. Field Marshall Swain's saw mill provided the learn­ by-doing technique as neophyte sawyers proceeded to establish new sizes in all grades of lumber. With the closing of our session came also the last page in the active teaching duties of our esteemed Pro­ fessor Cheyney.

E. G. Cheyney walked into Green Hall the other day looking fit as a fiddle, with just a little extra spring to his step. His face was a hearty bronzed tan, his belt was hooked up five or six notches tighter and his arm had the brawny hardness of a cutter finishing up the last cord of pulpwood for the season. After "Bill" retired from the Division of Forestry after 42 years of teaching, he really went to work. He cruised timber on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, Garrison Dam Project, for six weeks (June 15 to August 1, 1947), for the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. He then set forth for Apalachicola, Florida, where he is building a house at Lagoon Beach. His visit this time was a rather short one and he hoped that his house would be ready for occupancy on their return to Florida. He has retained his residence on Carter Avenue, St. Paul, and in this respect he says, "I am a good deal like a parrot, don't let go with my claw until I have hold of somethmg else with my beak." He was recently elected an honorary life member of the Concatenated Order of Hoo­ Hoo in recognition of his long years of service to the industry, as a teacher and personal friend of more than 900 men of the University of Minnesota's Division of Forestry. Professor Cheyney's departure has left us with a feeling of emptiness and we will always welcome him with open arms when he honors us with a visit.

It is with pleasure that I respond to an invitation from the editor of GOPHER PEAVEY to send a greeting to all former forestry students who remember me when I was in the library -1924 to l!B8. Some may remember me because we worked together and were a help to each other. Others may remember me for not letting you use the tables for a footstool. I have enjoyed the friendship of all the boys (now men grown tall) who have lived in my home, and with whom I keep in touch. They are my family and I am grandmother to their children. The years have brought many changes. I wrote to some of you who went into Service. Most of you came home-broadened by the experiences of the hard years. Some paid the supreme sacrifice. I send greetings to all foresters everywhere who haven't forgotten me. May your future be full of happy experiences, fine deeds and worthy achievements. As long as memory lasts I shall be interested in you and yours.-:-MRs. LEROY CADY.

Nature indeed blessed this country with a wealth of magnificent forests, green valleys and blue waters. Countless folk have en­ joyed these gifts - life has been made richer for multitudes.

Nevertheless, it's probable we've become too complacent in our good fortune. Our land can be despoiled - Nature won't with­ draw this splendor, but man might destroy it. What if the "woods" -the final touch of enjoyment to the Out of Doors - were taken away. Carelessness in the past has caused untold damage to Amer­ ica's forests; the unquenched campfire, the smoldering cigarette can start holocausts to ravage vast areas. Yes, great trees, years in growing, can be utterly destroyed in a few tragic hours . . . gone forever.

Actively cooperating with the Federal and State governments in perpetuating our forests are many privately owned pulpwood and lumbering interests. For a considerable period, extensive fire controls have been in operation - intensive reforestation projects in effect, and a program of scientific harvesting of matured trees is being observed.

Let's all make sure that Nature's generosity shall be shared with those who will follow us - let's keep our forests green. The Northwest Paper Company CLOQUET, MINNESOTA

( 77) Annual S.A.F. Meeting

On Saturday, December 21, 1947, immediately following the S.A.F. meetings in Minneapolis, we held a Minnesota Forestry School Alumni Luncheon. This luncheon was very well attended and there were 10 3 Minnesota alumni present. Among those in attendance were our first graduate, Herman Haupt Chapman, and graduates rep­ resenting almost every class over the past 4 7 years, including the class of December, 194 7. We hope to make such luncheons annual affairs, as has been· done for many years by practically all other forestry schools.

The luncheon was not only well attended but enthusiastically received, and there was considerable discussion on a number of points. There was a report by Frank H. Kaufert on the activities of the Division of Forestry and Dean Henry Schmitz gave a historical sketch of developments. Herman H. Chapman ('99) reported for the older group of alumni, Lee Deen ('28) for the middle group, and Ralph Nelson ('40) for the more recent graduates. Those in attendance were:
