We want to thank everyone who has assisted us in any way and hope this Spring will see the collections placed in the build ing. The year 1963 has marked important progress toward the completion of the John Hutchings Museum of Natural History, but there is much yet to be done. The year has been the greatest development yet on the Interior, due to the push and untiring effort of George T.Stras-burwho has charge of the finishing of the building. The people of the community also have been more than generous with their interest and contributions, both cash and labor. Under the chairmanship of Benarr T. Judd, representing the Advisory Council, the sale of copies of the Lehl Centennial History has been carried on throughout the year.
