Biographical / Historical Notes

The Forestry Club was organized in 1906, the same year that a 4-year course in forestry was first offered at Oregon Agricultural College.  The first yearbook was published in the spring of 1920 with the title Forest Club Annual.  In the fall of 1920, the club held a contest to find a more appropriate name.  Roger D. Healy, then a junior in forestry, suggested The Annual Cruise and that name was adopted.  The yearbook ceased publication with the 1975 volume.  A brief and sporadic revival 20 years later resulted in the publication of yearbooks in 1996, 1999, and 2000 by the College of Forestry.
