DEDICATION in m_e mory of

HERMAN HAUPT CHAPMAN 1874-1963

It is not only fitting that t his 1%4 Gopher Peavey should be dedicated in memorium to H. H. Chapman because he was the first graduate of the Minnesota School of Forestry, but more fitting for his immeasurable contributions to the profession of forestry and forestry education in this country and abroad. Herman Haupt Chapman was 88 when he died at his home in New Haven, Connecticut, on June 13, 1963. A native of Massachusetts, Chapman received his Bachelor of Agri­ culture degree from the University of Minnesota in 1899. After serving as superintendent of the Grand Rapids Agricultural Experiment Station, he enrolled in the Yale School of Forestry and received his Master of Fores try degree in 1904. He then joined the Yale School of Forestry and received his Master of Forestry degree in 1904. He then joined the Yale School of Forestry staff where he served for sixty years. Herman Haupt Chapman wi 11 long be remembered for his many books on management of forest lands, for his leadership in establishing a program of accreditation of forestry schools, for leading the development of prescribed burning, as director of the American Forestry Association, and as president of the Society of American Foresters. His fer­ vent spirit, leadership, and undaunted crusade in defense o f the ideals of professional forestry glitter brightly in the annals of United States forestry. "To H. H. Chapman, who persistently dedicated his !He to forestry, we dedicate this 1964 Gopher Peavey." Gopher Peavey cAlum11i Cf1ew.D 1964

Dear Friend:

I invite you to page through the '64 Peavey with me. We attempt to bring to you, in picture and word, a comprehensive report on the School of Forestry, its students, staff, and alumni.

A bit of the past is brought back into focus in recognition of the alumni who, through the years, have done and meant so much to the School.

21 DRD4NIZ4TIDNS

22 23 by James Potton - President

It has been a gratifying experience to be a part of this enthusiastic and active club. It would be rare indeed if any student could leave the St. Paul Campus and not feel our influence. I reca ll being asked by a president of another student organiza­ tion how we managed to continue the ethusiasm and a .: ~ fv ity and could answer proudly, "Just because we are forestry students.n Traditi.on dictates to a certain extent but it takes more than tradition when so many other things ar~ competing for a student's interest. In spite ofthe fact that we do lose a numb<>• cf forestry students to other organizations we continue to remain large and strong. Perhaps the image we reflect is not al ways what is desired in the eyes of th.e professional forester but this image is being improved-. T~c spec ia I e\!effl during the F-day activities has untold possibilities. This is a young' idea and w;·~ h more thought directed toward it, it can do much for the Forestry Club, the fores~ ry students, and the School of Forestry. I feel that club members rece!vc m"'tn y bendi ~ s. Tr.e comi)anionship of other students would hardly have to be mention ed. Acquaintances and friendshii)s are struck up that will last a lifetime. The many projects undertaken could not survive without the great amount of co-operation that exists. This is a great asset because as foresters our jobs could never be accomplished without co-operation. Although we may not realize it, this is an important part of our education and training. With a group this size it would be impossible for all to agree on policies, procedures, and activities; yet these problems are worked out .and we function as a unit-not as a few individuals. The '63-'64 Club has definitely left its influence. The birth or an idea, Th e Bull of the Woods, should fill the communication gap that has ex isted within the Forestry School for so many years. We again won the Homecoming wood-oiling trophy, due only to co-operation. We not only continued to remain extrern slv active in IM .Sports, but we always are among the top contenders. A~ain , we are the on ly St. Pau l Campus organization to enter a hockey te am in !M r. ompetition in spite of the fact that we receive no participation points. F-Dav, I feel, Y.1as a great success. This is our most important activity of the year. Althou••h w P. nrc rnnstantly striving to encourage freshman participation, Forester's Dav is the spar l~ which ignites their enthusiasm to keep them active for the du ri1 tio?1 o·f their college career. Thanks fellow club members. You havP m:lde me very proud. Good luck to you all. If you continue your activity and co-o::>en t.i on you cannot help but be suc­ cessful and be a benefit to the profession of Forestry.

During the past year the club has been promoting these two curricula through the use of a colorful brochure which discusses the School of Forestry and advantages and opportunities available in the forest products industry. Thanks to the work of Larrie Reese, who designed a9d wrote it, this brochure has been a tremendous success. This last fall the club instigated a steak fry to en­ courage and get acquainted with freshmen in Forest Products Engineering and Forest Products Merchan­ dising.

Myrna Potton The 1963-64 Forestry Wives Club leaves behind a trace of their talent that can be seen in the Green Hall Auditorium - Paul Bunyan. He now looks as though he just stepped out of Vogue, well almost. He is adorned with new authentic loggers clothes. We can also stand a little taller this year for we drew up our first constitution. The annual get-acquainted party was again given by Dr. and Mrs. Kaufert in October. The cider and doughnuts they serve are becoming a tradition we look forward to. The tupperware party, given at Como Village Union in November was a great success, although it seems · Dixie bought a couple of useless items just to enable us to reach our goal of $100 worth of sales - thanks Dixie. In December we had a couples' progressive dinner party. We held traffic up two to three blocks while we played follow-the-leader from house to house. WIVES We exchanged Christmas presents at our last stop. Have you gotten any fish for the fish bowl, Susan? OF I think our club looks forward to Foresters Day as much as the Forestry Club does. But is all that PAUL scrutinizing of each girl on campus necessary in se­ lecting a queen? We trust their judgment though, as t hey always pick a beautiful Daughter of Paul. We also enjoy our yearly coloring and cutting class and our artwork was again on display at the Stumpjumpers Ball. Our Faculty Wives Tea, which was held on Feb. 11, gave the faculty and forestry wives a chance to become better acquainted. As one would expect, a Valentine theme was carried out. Spring quarter events included election of officers, service projects for the University Hospital, a trip through an interior decorator's studio, and a spring picnic. As the year draws to a close, the memories of our club activities remain vivid. We certainly hope that Dixie - the annual tea future Forestry Wives Clubs have as successful a year as we have had. 29 1963 ITASCA CORPORATION

by Ross Nelson

August fourth was a day like all days filled with the events of our time, but to the forestry student it was the beginning of six memorable weeks at Itasca. The students came from everywhere by car, bicycle, bus, and motorcycle to the Northern Campus and with them came their gear which they unloaded into any empty cabin they could find. That evening there was much commotion in the camp with the students getting properly registered for the fall quarter and becoming fa'miliar with their cabin mates. The session officially started the next morning with a talk by Professor Brown and then it was to the woods for a wind blow-down survey. Being the first time in the woods alone with a compass for some of the guys, it ended up a longer run than was anticipated, and the results were questionable. Only the section diagonal episode in later weeks would c001pare to it in its ability to reveal the job of a devoted forester. The soil pits and botany field trips were eliminated after the second week and mqre emphasis was placed on mensuration and ecology for the remainder of the session. The mensuration reports were not difficult this year if one would only remember to make them Short, Concise, and Complete according to Glenn Lillmars, the assistant to the director of the Itasca session, better known as Brownie's assistant. It was not all work at Itasca. At noon we had an hour and a half during wlrich we were free to do as we pleased. This time was always put to the best of use with a good nap or football or frisbee with each of us always remembering the words of our "coach" -keep off the grass. After supper was also desig­ nated as free time in which most of the students caught up on the next mensuration report that was due or else took a much needed trip to Qualley's. Foresters' Day was a great success due to the efforts of everyone and to the bright sunny day. There was a record crowd at the field events which 30 were held on the athletic tield. These consisted of log throwing, two man bucking, match splitting, and many others. The water events held in the area of the boat landing were equally successful. There was a dance in the evening and luckily more local girls than boys showed up. During the session there were many field trips re­ lated to the subjects we were studying. One of these trips was on a hot day to see Elmer's forest and learn his method of cruising. Several car loads of students got lost on the way there and came to class late. When we got back from the Chippewa National Forest trip, cabin 34 found their place had been re­ decorated with toilet paper. Tilia americana leaves had replaced the toilet paper in the "Head". All in all the camp was quiet and serious until the last night of the session. Instead of studying, some of the guys (69 out of 70) decided lo get the presi­ dent of the student body for all the wrongs he had in­ flicted on them during the session. They carried him bodily to the landing dock and carefully and gently threw him in the cold September water. Be­ sides the student body watching this ceremony there was one lonely faculty member who went by the name of Glenn Lillmars. The students thought it appro­ priate to donate him lo the Greek god Neptune also. It did not stop at this. Soon" everyone was either swimming or throwing someone in th~ water. When it became dark the students made tracks for their cabins to study for their ecology final, only to find that the power in the park failed. This was soon remedied by an emergency generator that was started and the students had light for studying. The finals went fast and soon every one was on their way home to spend the last week before Fall quarter in comfort. All in all the Itasca session went well this year and many memories will be in the minds of the students who attended it.

31 Dave Grigal The Cloquet Session - 1%3 was as uneventful as any have been in the history of the station. The "boys" were a group of fine, young men-good stu­ dents, good citizens, good foresters. The weather was marvelous. During the first week, one of the crews even reported sighting (and duly noting on their tally sheet) a robin-what a thrill. There were a few students who thought that the CLOQUET weather might make the ink run on the tally sheets, so they decided to stay indoors, rather than allow this to happen. Dr. Meyer, upon discovering that 1963 the boys felt this way, assured them that the ink would not run, whereupon the fellows proceeded into the woods forthwith. The fellows spent the evenings after supper play­ ing baseball. They did this in order to maintain their fine physical peak so that they could work for Dr. Brown during the day on the pulp-cutting operation. A small problem arose concerning a baseball for the boys to play with, but the Dining Club generously donated sufficient funds to buy not one, but two baseballs. The field trips were fun. During the Crex Meadows trip, some of the fellows really had fun, (or was it most of the fellows). Much knowledge was gained on all of the trips. Some of the fe Hows, in order to stimulate the local economy, spent a good deal of time at a small com­ munity south of Cloquet (Scanlon). It might be added that they did stimulate the local economy. The final plant identification test was rather un­ expected because Dr. Brown assured the fellows he would give the test. He did not turn his back on the group while he gave the test. Cloquet - 1963 was a wonderfully stimulating, edu­ cational, heart-warming experience.

32 33 ACTIVITIES

34 35 Juris Eglite The tenth annual pilgrimage to the Midwest For­ esters' Conclave from Minnesota started at noon on Friday, May 2, 1963. One group of five came from the spring session at Cloquet and the other group of four interested foresters was from the main campus in St. ~au!. We had a long trip ahead of us. The weather that day was quite miserable, although ducks would have loved it. In spite of this wet start the spirits of the two car-fulls were high with expectations of a good show­ ing at the conclave. The trip across Wisconsin was uneventful and the freeway driving afforded very little excitement all the way to Ross Camp, West Lafayette. The Cloquet group had gotten there first and was in the "spirit" of the conclave around a blazing MIDWEST bonfire. We did manage though to get enough sleep and were ready the next morning for a full day of strenuous competition. Ours was a most uneventful FORESTERS morning. At lunch we were treated to a very interesting ex­ hibition. A member of the Purdue team was shaved with an axe by the King of the Lumberjacks. You CONCLAVE could say he got a real close shave because his face had numerous patches of scarlet. In the afternoon, things followed much the same pattern as that of the morning. We did manage to 1963 get enough points to relinquish the possession of that "coveted" bearskin to Iowa State University. The only consolation we had was that the weather was really terrific throughout the day, up to the end of the last event, axe throwing. At that time there was a half-hearted effort at rain. The hqsts, Purdue, were very hospitable in letting the University of Michigan win, even though we tried to do our best with the guys there, our efforts amounted only to sixth place out of seven participat­ ing schools. After a good supper and the prize pre­ sentations everyone with a taste for "ice-cream" went to the social. At first there was singing and then later on in the evening some "girls" showed up and dancing ensued. If everyone had as much fun as we from Minnesota did then it can be concluded that the Conclave was a big success. Thanks again to a gracious and good host, Purdue, for the fine job they did . Maybe next year we'll ....

The annual canoe trip began on a warm day in May with twenty foresters and their dates. The course was from Taylor Falls down stream to Marine Ferry. Soon after our arrival at Taylor Falls the canoes CANOE were packed with the necessities of a day's journey and we were on our way. Paddling the canoes would have been quite easy TRIP since we were traveling downstream, but there was a strong wind blowing in the opposite direction. Another disadvantage was that there were several 1963 speed boats going up and down the St. Croix River which meant that the boys were required to paddle most of the time. The girls were not much help, of course, except to hold the front of the canoe down. All went well until Herb Giefer had a little trouble controlling his canoe on a landing for a nature walk. The canoe turned over placing both he and his date in the water. The story he tells is that the water became unusually choppy just as he tried to land. They were not the only couple that had this experience, however. We alLstopped on an island about half the way to our destination for lunch. Some of the girls served lunches while others prepared steaks and hamburgers over fires for their foresters. Professor Brown, who was the chaperon on the excursion, set the example by drinking V-8 juice while others had slightly more potent beverages. By potent I mean pop, of course. Within an hour or so most of the couples were back in their canoes floating down the river. We reached O'Brien State Park at about five o'clock, just in time for supper. Carl Wegner went out looking for wood and found some after much effort. It seems that some elderly ladies were just leaving and he graciously borrowed their abandoned wood. As the day drew to a close, everyone headed for Marine Ferry. The canoes were landed and the gear was unloaded and put into cars. Before long every­ one was on his way home after a tiring but memor­ able day.

George Miller This year the fall bonfire, organized by Ross Nelson and George Miller, got of.f to a roaring start with a soft bal I game between the undergrads and graduate students. After a hard fought battle, the undergrads walked away with all honors. About 125 Forestry students and a good represen­ tation of the faculty showed up to make this annual affair a big success. After everyone was stuffed ... song and spirit with beans, wieners, and pop (there was even enough for Sparke), Glenn Lillmars introduced Forestry Club President Jim Potton and the members of the faculty. We missed the presence of Or. Kaufert, who was in Washington D.C., but the rest of the faculty carried on in grand style. After the risque jokes were over Erv Schuster, Brian Morgan and Bob Hennessey led the group in a first rate song fest with their guitars.

After themselves hoarse, we decided to call it a night. Everyone headed home with a wann feeling which only good food and close companionship can bring.

The products boys w orked in the lot. ·· purchase all of the Norway pine, Spruce, and Scotch pine from Dr. Henry Hansen's plantation in Anoka. Balsam fir was later bought from a private Minnea­ polis source. Early Fall quarter, all the trees were tagged by Marv Meier and myself and on a late October Satur­ day, a crew was sent up to spray the Norway pine with a coloring agent to keep them from yellowing. Thanksgiving weekend was the day for cutting and transporting the trees. Our crew left Friday morning eager for a day in the "wilds". Juris Eglite and George Mille r fell true to form when they were found hidden in the "boonies" eating lunch and partaking of their rather limited supply of refreshment. Finally, the truck was loaded and sent back to the campus with what amounted to about one-half of the trees. These were unloaded by 5:30 and Larry Christian and I sat around Green Hall waiting for the private wholesaler to deliver the Balsam. By the time he The managem ent boys worked in the woods. arrived and was unloaded it was nearly 7:00 and a long day ended. Next morning, a small crew went back to Anoka for the last load. It was an impressive sight to be­ hold; over 750 trees piled helter-skelter over half the gymnasium parking lot Denny Purcell, Gary Olander, Roger Sandquist and I then erected the dis­ play racks, snow fence enclosure, and warming house. Trees were delivered to several fraternities and sororities and the job was done for the day. At this point, the Lignum Club took over the retailing, and judging from the excess of exactly three trees on Dec. 26, they did a good job. As in the past, the Club finds itself indebted to various individuals and agencies. I wish to thank Ken Winsness for his support and encouragement and Morris Mitness, Supt. of Grounds, for the use of the parking lot and his assistance in locating trans­ po rtation and various needs. The many men who gave their time from early in the Fall to late Decem­ ber deserve praise and thanks. It was to be a Club project and judging from the help and support I got, While others . it proved to be just that.

The "Great Mountain Forest" is a privately owned 7000 :icre forest in the Northwest corner of Conn. The terra1in is hilly or mountainous depending on your point of view with elevations differing from about 1750 to 930 feet above sea !eve l. Most of the present forest land was once cleared farm land and GREAT one of the things which was difficult to become accustomed to were the stone walls scattered through MOUNTAIN the woods away from any present road. Connecticut was once about two-thirds clea red land; it is now FOREST about two-thirds forested. When Bryan said "Go west young man"; they went West! The timber on the forest varied from eastern hem­ lock upwards of 30 inches D.B.H. (one blow-down was 43") with two to three logs, through somewhat smaller but taller white pine, to red oak 80 to 90 years old with one to two veneer logs, to mixed hardwood and hemlock stands in the pole timber stage, to the same type in the ! ~st sampling stage. There were also some plantations over 40 years old. One of our jobs was cleaning up the re mains of a 40 year old red pine plantation which blew down New Years day 1963. There were seven stude nts from different forestry schools working on the forest in crews of 2 or more at times. The two big jobs of the summer were cleaning up blow-down and making a TS! cut on a mixed hardwood-hemlock stand. The nearest pulp­ wood market was 90 miles away which made it diffi­ cult to market the many cords of hardwood and hem­ lock pulpwood. Beside the two large projects mentioned we spent some time pruning, spraying, mapping, cruising, working in the sawmill, weeding the nursery and sightseeing New England. It was a very worthwhile sum mer. I'm glad I went East.

51 SUMMER ON THE SUPERIOR

by Glenn Jacobson When finals ended Spring quarter, most of the for­ esters headed West, but for me the North held the lure. I packed my bags and my friend Marv Rude and I headed for the Gunflint District of the Superior Na­ tional Forest to spend the summer working for the Forest Service as roaming public relations agents on the Boundary Water Canoe Area . Upon reaching the headquarters, we procured enough equipment and supplies to sustain us for five days and then headed out to Gunflint Lake to launch or canoe and embark on our journey. For thirteen weeks we wandered from l ake to lake, campsite to campsite, to visit with campers; suggesting routes, warning of fire hazards, and aiding in the maintenance of portages and campsites. We returned each week­ end to resupply. It rained the first nite i n the woods. We weren't prepared for it, so for the next two nights we slept in wet sleeping bags. After that, we took precautions and on l y the bugs gave us trouble once in a while - the first pot of coffee I brewed had a few bugs float­ ing in it, but as the summer progressed we became quite fond of the added flavor. Everyone seemed to think we were going to meet a lot of women out in the woods, but everytime we did see a few they were either going in the opposite di­ rection or it was a Friday night and we were due back at headquarters in Grand Mara is. We l ooked forward to weekends in town and had some rea 1 great times at the resorts along the Gunflint Tra il. One thing we craved out in the woods was somethi ng cold - we seemed to make up for this craving on weekends. Looking back over the summer, we had a real inter­ esting time and saw some real beautiful country.

52 On June 14th a two-car caravan headed for the "great Southwest" - Durango, Colorado. I rode out with Gary Bergstrom in his trusty "50" Nash, for Gary was going to work in P rescott, Arizona for the U.S. Forest Service. T he other car contained Erv Schuster and Bob Nyvall who, along with me, were reporting to work for the Bureau of Land Manage­ ment in Durango. We attended a forest inventory school for all BLM foresters in Co l orado our first week on the job. \l/e BLM stayed in a tent camp near a one-horse town called Powderhorn . It was like old home week at this camp because we met two Minnesota graduates and two DURANGO other students from the forestry school. The camp boss was Maurice Zi egler '62, who is working out of Gary Nordstrom Montrose, Colorado. The other Minnesota graduate was Dick who was working out of Canyon City, Colorado. Bob Hennessy and Gary Elftmann, summer temp~, working on the Denver district, were al so at the inventory school. The following week was spent preparing maps and lining up the aerial photos of the different areas we were to work in during the summer. The Durango district is quite large, covering 1,115,000 acres. The type of land varied from dry, 1.evel, grazing land to steep, heavily forested, mountain sides. Our first field project on the district was locating section corners and picking their l ocations on aerial photos. Many of these corners were rock corners es­ tablished back in 1880 and they proved very difficult to find. We ran many lines thru heavy oak brush which was thicker than the hazel brush in Itaska State Park. We began putting in fo rest inventory plots around the f irst of August, a very welcome change of pace after running lines up and down the moun tains. The dry Southwest wasn't dry this summer, for it rai ned just about every day during the month of August. We didn't get in on any fires this summer because it was so wet. The Fire Cont rol Offi cer on our di strict was another Min nesota grad., Gerald Zamber '62, who was responsi ble for helping us obtain our jobs with BLM. I enjoyed working with the permanent personnel in Durango very much, though it seemed I had only been there a couple of weeks when the calendar read September 15th and time to head back to school. 53 ALUMNI

' 54 AN OPEN LETTER

As always, it was our genuine pleasure to sit down and chat with our alumni who visited us at Green Hall over this past year. It is always interesting (and educa­ tional) to have our alumni tell us about their progress and about their work.

I believe that it goes without saying that whether or not you visited Green Hall, the staff and the School of Forestry would like to express their thanks and appreciation for the interest and support that you- our alumni- have given to the School over these many years . It is with this type of support that the School has reached the stature that it has within the profession and within the Univer­ sity of Minnesota.

Again-many thanks!
