Spring Foresters' day was a day of hard work and a lot of fun this year. The event was held on April 12, 1980 at Holst Tract State Forest.

February in the Midwest can be rigorous. When wind-chill factors in the minus forties are added to the concerns for enrollment, budget and employment, it is not unusual to recall such notable quotes as "winter of discontent," and “be not a summer soldier and a sunshine patriot," and "these are the times that try men's souls."
