Historical note
The Utah Juniper was the annual record of the School of Forestry, Range, and Wildlife Resources (which became the College of Natural Resources in the late 1950s) from 1930-1970. The Utah Juniper was published in format similar to a typical yearbook. This magazine was the official record for student and faculty activities for each year. Some of the main traditions that were recorded were winners of awards such as the Son and Daughter of Paul and the Headless Axe Award. Most of the photographs here were taken by either John Johnson or long-time Forestry professor Ted W. (Doc) Daniel.
John Johnson was a photographer, intramural manager, alumni editor, and editor in chief of the Utah Juniper. He was from Farmington, Utah and attended Utah State University from 1950 to 1954. While attending the university he was involved extensively in the College of Natural Resources. This included membership in the Forestry Club and Society of American Forester. He also served as the Vice President of A.W.F.C.
