Invitation To Fernhopper Day On behalf of the Forestry Club, let me offer you a cordial invitation to the 44th Annual Fernhopper Day and Banquet to be held February 28, 1976. You may have heard about the disband­ ing of the Forestry Club last year. Well, · don't worry. This fall a new club was organized and students will help put on one of the best Fernhopper Days ever. Not only do we have a different Forestry Club with a different constitution and way of doing things, we also have some differ­ ent plans for the Student-Alumni Seminar. After a brief meeting of students and alumni at 1:15 p. m. in Stewart Auditorium, we will be separating into three or four different discussion groups. These groups will be discussing topics of much interest to the world of forestry. The recent Mon­ ongahela Court decision as well as .cur­ rent job availability and job expectations of graduating foresters are among the The 1975 Fernhopper Banquet gilts off to a good start with MC Norman Nass presiding·. topics being considered for discussion. These discussion groups will be held simultaneously, but will be informal so that Bill Holtsclaw Elected Fernhopper Banquet 1975 you may mingle between any of the discus­ Alumni President Fernhopper Day and the banquet on sion groups that may interest you.
