Miss Mabel Conley, who has worked faithfully and well on both the manuscript and proof of this publication, and who has proved to be a faithful friend to every student in the Division for Forestry, we humbly dedi- cate this— PI-NE-TUM OF 1947. In the years to come many of us will look over this 1947 PI-NE-TUM and recall with pleasure the four years spent in attaining the goal set by the high standards of our Alma Mater. Today we are just one big happy family. As time marches on the gap be- tween us will become larger and larger. Some of us will use our talents for research and invention and become the creators in a future civilization. Others will become teachers and help preserve that civiliza- tion by passing along what we have learned from man to man, and from age to age. Still others will attain heights of leadership, and as executives will aid in the development of that same civilization. But regardless of what life has in store for each of us, or how far in this commercial world we may drift apart, we will always have this little book to bring us back together into the one happy family that originated here at State. raduate Students 1946-47 WILLIAM A.

What you do find is the top production, management and directing personnel in the plywood,box,woodworking, sawmilling and logging fields. Hundreds of logging engineers, sawmill engineers, operat- in},v heads and managers in the forest products industry formed the habit—while still in their university and college days—to depend, month after month, upon every issue of THE TIMBERMAN to bring them information and ideas on new methods, new practices and new proced— ures developed in all major departments of the industry. THE TIMBERMAN’S editorial staff travels thousands of miles each month to bring you the latest in pictures and text directly from on-the-job observations and reports. You will benefit greatly in your career by making every number of THE TIMBERMAN a ”must” in your reading and study. 722 TEMIERMEAN AN H 519 S.W.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 PREFACE Practically every American town and city has its race conflicts. The degree of prejudice is somewhat pro­ portional to the size and number of conflicting groups. No matter what the population of the town is it has its "Polack" section,"Guinea" section,"Nigger" section,etc. In many instances the struggle is carried on to preserve one select group from an­ other, within a larger group. In New England towns the Yan­ kees and Swamp Yankees are constantly battling the second and third generation children of immigrants. In the northern areas it is the French-Canadian, in the middle and southern the Irish, Italian, Polish and Negro. One will find the farther south he goes the greater is the discrimination against the Negro. In the smaller northern towns there are very few col­ ored people and consequently the necessity for counteracting his influence is negligible.

  • 01-That Awful Thing
    chapter 1 This Awful Thing hated to admit, even to myself, that I was excited by the prospect of interviewing Lewis Everett Peck, an Exeter, I Rhode Island, farmer and descendent of Mercy Brown, who was probably the last person exhumed as a vampire in America. By 1981, I had been a folklorist for more than a decade and had hundreds of interviews under my belt, but no one had ever told me a vampire story based on personal experience. Of course, like most modern Americans, I have a familiar, comfortable relation- ship with vampires—but these are fictional vampires.Their exis- tence requires us to suspend our disbelief, whether we’re watching a movie, reading a book or looking at an ad for beer or batteries. Peck was going to tell me about a vampire who actually existed—a relation, no less—not some cardboard cutout, B-movie actor, or figment of an author’s imagination. Exeter is only a thirty minute drive from my home base of Providence; it seems light years removed culturally. Halfway into this short ride, I left Interstate 95 and began to notice the rubble stone walls stretching for miles in every direction. Overgrown and seemingly in the middle of nowhere, they are a silent reminder of the once-prosperous farms—true plantations, really, relying on the labor of black slaves and indentured Indians—that began to fade after the American Revolution. Exeter is a wide town, bumping against Connecticut on its western edge and stretching eastward almost to Narragansett 1 Food for the Dead Bay.

  • “The Tide Taken at the Flood” ARCHIVES
    12/21/2010 PROVIDENCE CITY “The Tide Taken at the Flood” ARCHIVES The Black Suffrage Movement during the Dorr Rebellion in the State of Rhode Island (1841-1842) By Caleb T. Horton 2 I think that our labours in Rhode Island during this Dorr excitement did more to abolitionise the state than any previous, or subsequent work. It was the “tide taken at the flood.” One effect of these labours was to induce the old “Law and Order” Party, when it set about making its new constitution, to avoid the narrow folly of the Dorrites, and make a constitution which should not abridge any man’s rights on account of race or colour. Such a 1 new constitution was finally adopted. The renowned Frederick Douglass wrote this reflection in his autobiography The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass. His message was explicit – the Rhode Island black community, as well as the abolitionist community, won a tremendous victory for black civil rights in the year of 1842, through a state constitution that gave African American males the right to vote. However, Douglass concludes that it was an achievement conceived amid political calamity, and solely obtained because of one reason -- the Dorr Rebellion -- Rhode Island’s very own chartist revolution from 1841 to 1842. New England is known for its progressive and democratic spirit. Enlightened Revolutionaries, Transcendentalists, Romanticists, and Abolitionists, flourished in the quaint egalitarian region. Contrarily, the autonomous spirit, which was once so apprised by pious pilgrims and gentlemen farmers in the late 17th and 18th centuries, would succumb to an Industrial era, one marked by capital, profit, and laborious production.2 Rhode Island, the home of Roger Williams, a humanist zealot who preached religious tolerance and human suffrage, would ironically become the birthplace of inequality, slavery, and anti-democratic principles.

  • Discovering Rural Diversity Through Literacy Katie M Mccabe, University of Wisconsin-Madison
    Sweet Home Wisconsin: Discovering Rural Diversity through Literacy Katie M McCabe, University of Wisconsin-Madison Abstract: McCabe advises educators to provide rural school students with a reading and writing curriculum highlighting rural diversity and dissolving rural stereotypes in order to increase inclusivity in their communities. ______________________________________________________ If you are an educator in a rural school, you might relate to some of the following experiences rural educators have shared with me: 1. Receiving a dozen chicken eggs on your desk from a student. 2. Knowing school attendance will be poor or even cancelled on opening day of hunting season. 3. Having a part-time job at the creamery on the weekends and taking half- gallons of local milk to share with your students during class. 4.
