Growth is what Forestry is all about and this year as always our school has attracted more students than ever before where some 400 applied for first year alone, and where the average student accepted in the degree program had a 78 average. To help releive a staff shortage, the school aquired two new professors, namely Mr. C. Benson and Mr. E, David, and it is hoped that they will enrich our program further with their expertise. With the abun ' ance of new students in the forestry curricu- lum this year, it is hoped that most of them walked away with many new found friends and good memories. For some, these hard-won moments were filed away along with the many others from previous years . Well the HARVEST ' 76 is finally complete, what with the long and arduous task of developing film, taking pictures, and soliciting firms for advertisinp behind, 1 want to express my thanks and appreciation to Hill Petrus , for developing most of the photographs including the individual shots of the grads vou see in this book, 1 also want to thank Steven Ward and Rick Durand for taking time out of their studies to do some photo assignments, I have had a great deal of pleasure in putting this book together as I found it a very rewarding experience. 1 hope you will all enjoy this year ' s edition and that this issue will provide some good memories of the past acedemic year as well as provide scue incentive for increased r ' evelopment in its future production. To all of you who helped and shared some of their time with me throuphout my years at Lakehead, my sincere thanks for having made the past four years one of the greatest in my life, Robert H. Rivard EDITOR, HARVEST 1 76

CHAIRMAN ' S REMARKS In this fifth year of publication of the Lakehead Forestry Harvest , we can look back upon many, significant changes in the School of Forestry since the publication of the first yearbook in 1972. Five years ago our staff was composed of 10 full time faculty members and four technicians. Enrollment in the School in 1971-72 had risen from 204 in the previous year to 234 students. In the current year, 18 full time faculty members and 12 technicians are undertaking academic responsibilities for a student enrollment of 459. The near doubling of staff and students in the period has necessitated the acquisition of additional offices, laboratories, and other facilities. This has not been accomplished easily, but, with the co-operation of the University ad ministration and faculty, we have succeeded in developing a school capable of offering professional and technicial forestry programs, the excellence of which has been recognized across Canada. During the year, Professors David and Benson joined our faculty. Professor David will enable us to expand our curricula and research activities in the region in Timber Harvesting and Forest Mechanization. A background of professional and teaching experience is enabling Professor Benson to make a valuable contribution in the teaching of courses in the degree and technology programs. In January, 1976, Professor Fedkenheuer left our faculty to accept employment with the Alberta government. We are engaged,
