He succeeded his father as Director of the John Hutchings Museum of Natural History and with the help of other museum supporters, influenced events which expanded the museum and resulted in its being moved to the renovated Memorial Building where it is currently housed. Harold collected everything from rocks and minerals to bird eggs and Indian artifacts, says his daughter Esther Ann Sumsion. She talks fondly of the summer expedition trips the family took to the desert in order to add new specimens to t the museum exhibits. As a young boy, Harold learned to love nature and history at the hand of his father, John. He grew up learning the Stories behind each artifact and specimen in his father's collection, and loved to share that information with everyone who came to the museum. Harold was instrumental in seeing his father's collection become housed in the museum, which initially received no city or federal funding.

He is childlike, simple, humble, sincere, forgiving, and giving. Of course, that man with the twinkling eyes and warm smile who is busy preparing for his annual trek through the world tomorrow night is Santa Claus. And he wasn't easy to track down for an interview. With all the Santas around right now, I didn't think it would be so hard . But I was looking for him, The Real Santa, the one who comes from the North Pole in the dark of Christmas Eve and brings gifts to the world.

The "Angels Among Us" service project held during December at Lehi Junior High School brought in $2,007.45, more than double the target amount, which will be used to help local families in need during the holiday season. Students were invited to donate whatever loose change they had, with different days designated for different types of coins. According to counselor Michelle Ward, the goal was to collect $1,003, or in other words, one dollar from each of the 1,003 students enrolled at the school. By Tuesday, they had collected $664, more than half of the target amount. The total amount collected on Friday' was $500, giving them a total of $2,007.45 for the week. The project was organized by the POSSE staff, a group of faculty members, assisted by students on the Leadership Team. ifI- - X - iiigiiaf ; JlllllilPllfj r.J '"l ' 2 lW Photo by Russ Daly Students at Lehi Junior High School sort coins that, were gathered in donation Jars as part of a service project.
