Your parents finally made it! Look what a difference four years can make! Do you remember in 9th grade “Scream” the TV series being filmed at DCHS? Do you remember the abrupt end to the 19-20 school year? I mean, “wow,” what a time to graduate! COVID-19 has created an entirely different world from Fall of your Junior Year to now. As the world goes back to “pre-COVID” times, remember the small things we used to take for granted … Family, Fun, and Fellowship. Do not lose sight of those things in or out of the COVID pandemic. It has been an absolute pleasure and an honor to serve you all through the good times, bad times and uncertain times. I have watched you all grow from scared, immature young teenagers to mature young adults that are ready to take on the world. I want you to remember the main goal of high school is to learn, grow and graduate. Of course, on the way, we know/hope you have learned a lot, been challenged, become a critical thinker, made friends, got involved, competed and grew. Graduating from DCHS sets you up to have options after high school and to make a decision of which way you want your life to go.

    RAC0010.1177/0306396815608357Race & ClassKelly 608357research-article2015 SAGE Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore, Washington DC Jubilee and the limits of African American freedom after Emancipation BRIAN KELLY Abstract: Scholarship generated in the post-civil rights US underpins a growing consensus that any honest confrontation with the American past requires an acknowledgment both of the nation’s foundations in racially-based slave labour and of the critical role that the enslaved played in ending that system. But scholars equally need to examine why the end of slavery did not deliver freedom, but instead – after a short-lived ‘jubilee’ during which freedpeople savoured their ‘brief moment in the sun’ – opened up a period of extreme repression and violence. This article traces the political trajectory of one prominent ex-slave and Republican party organiser, Elias Hill, to assess the constraints in which black grassroots activists operated. Though mainly concerned with the dashed hopes of African Americans, their experience of a steep reversal is in many ways the shared and profoundly significant legacy of ex-slaves across the former plantation societies of the Atlantic world. Brian Kelly, reader in US history at Queen’s University Belfast, has published widely on the prob- lem of racial antagonism and its impact on working-class politics in the US. His first book, Race, Class and Power in the Alabama Coalfields, 1908–1921 (Illinois, 2001), won the Isaac and Tamara Deutscher Memorial Prize. Former director of the After Slavery Project, he is co-editor with Bruce Baker of After Slavery: race, labor and citizenship in the Reconstruction South (Florida, 2013), and is completing an extended monograph on grassroots black political mobilisation in Reconstruction South Carolina.

Having undertaken original research into mid-19th century photographs in archives internationally, pertaining to Native America in the American Southwest, new histories and a re- framing of the photographs in question has been assembled. This portion of the research was undertaken both as a starting point for further investigation, and as a return to the people of New Mexico, particularly the Indigenous inhabitants of that place.

Armies in the field equipped with artillery, cavalry, and supply trains required one horse or mule, on average, for every two men. Horses fit for service became scarce by the war’s final years. Far from the major eastern battlefields, regiments such as the First Nebraska Volunteer Cavalry felt the brunt of the equine shortage.

    A War All Our Own: American Rangers and the Emergence of the American Martial Culture by James Sandy, M.A. A Dissertation In HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTORATE IN PHILOSOPHY Approved Dr. John R. Milam Chair of Committee Dr. Laura Calkins Dr. Barton Myers Dr. Aliza Wong Mark Sheridan, PhD. Dean of the Graduate School May, 2016 Copyright 2016, James Sandy Texas Tech University, James A. Sandy, May 2016 Acknowledgments This work would not have been possible without the constant encouragement and tutelage of my committee. They provided the inspiration for me to start this project, and guided me along the way as I slowly molded a very raw idea into the finished product here. Dr. Laura Calkins witnessed the birth of this project in my very first graduate class and has assisted me along every step of the way from raw idea to thesis to completed dissertation. Dr. Calkins has been and will continue to be invaluable mentor and friend throughout my career. Dr. Aliza Wong expanded my mind and horizons during a summer session course on Cultural Theory, which inspired a great deal of the theoretical framework of this work. As a co-chair of my committee, Dr. Barton Myers pushed both the project and myself further and harder than anyone else. The vast scope that this work encompasses proved to be my biggest challenge, but has come out as this works’ greatest strength and defining characteristic. I cannot thank Dr. Myers enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone, and for always providing the firmest yet most encouraging feedback.

    fall 2016 News and notes for alumni and friends Clockwise from top left: F&ES alumni and students from around the world gathered at an F&ES reception during the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Honolulu, Hawaii, in September; F&ES faculty, alumni, staff, and students participated in a Forestry Field Day in North Carolina in October, hosted by F&ES Alumni Association Board Members Dave Ellum ’01 M.F., ’07 Ph.D. and Alex Finkral ’97 M.F., ’05 Ph.D.; members of the F&ES Africa SIG at a dinner in September hosted by Professor Timothy Gregoire ’85 Ph.D.; and one-year master’s degree students on a Thimble Islands cruise in September with faculty, staff, and alumni. F&ES Spirit Day was initiated by the Class of 2005 after their 10-year reunion to honor and celebrate the wonderful things about F&ES and to continue to build their F&ES communities wherever they live. Their inspiration was their classmate, Laurie Cuoco ’05 M.E.Sc., who tragically passed away during the last weeks of their time together at F&ES. Her classmates say that Laurie was the embodiment of the F&ES spirit, and they are honoring her memory by organizing an annual F&ES Spirit Day and also by raising funds for a new F&ES student scholarship. From a potluck picnic/BBQ and campout at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park in the San Francisco Bay Area organized by Alice Bond Miller ’06 M.E.M. and attended by 30 alumni/family members, to a group of alumni packing over 100 lunch bags for families staying at the D.C.
