He would, however, see two of Earlham's traditional specimens--the fossil giant beaver and' the mastodon. Reassembling the mastodon from a group of miscel- laneous bones stored under the eaves ofCarpenter Hall to the giant that it is now, has been accomplished in the col lege years of the present senior class, as museum assistants Punky Bloemker and Cam Gifford well know. Punky and Giff have restored bones, and then restored the restorations, polished mastodon teeth and helped Bob Warner flfarlham '53l weld the supports. Giff and Mac Carrigan have put the toes in order, and Punky and Earl George have worked industriously on the tusks. Joseph Moore might retreat to the safety of his frame on Thursdayafternoonswhen the Earlham Hour for Richmond school classes and Audubon Junior Clubs occurs, and during Wednesday evening science-for- the-public series sponsored by the Natural Science division. To highlight the main points in the usual motion picture or lecture, the museum staff assembles a weeklyexhibit. The assemblyiob is started on Mon- day and the final touches are usually put on late Wed- nesday afternoon in a wild spurt of activity. ln addition to its indoor activities, the museum carries on a research program which includes bird and bat banding. The bat banding expeditions, which to many are the highlights of the entire year, are taken in late fall and winter when the bats seek out caves in which to spend the winter. nada , r' N I-7 MUSEUM STAFF: BACK ROW: Jay Schnell, Ted Brown, Jim Cope, Merrill Carrigan, Alice Michener, Lucky Ward, Ronnie Peacock, Russ Carlson.
