They were noted for their skill and competitiveness in all athletic activities from minor league ball to New- comb. Every Bluejay became absorbed in Indian lore, arts and crafts, and nature. FRANK FINK particularly liked Indian lore and Indiansg he earned the name Babe He Haw. The trip to Kent Falls was one of the season's highlightsg the boys liked climbing to the top of the falls and then enjoyed a cook out lunch of hamburgers with all the trimmings. The Bluejays also enjoyed an overnight at Pine Point, and no one was even frightened! Some of the other activi- ties this summer included: hiking, soccer, capture the flag, water skiing, sailing, kickball and swim- ming. JIMMY FEIN is an all round camper who did well in all activities. His hitting and swimming im- proved greatly throughout the summer. DAVID KATZ was our star ball player and Boy of the Year. J ON ALBIN participated in all activities and was well liked by everyone. J ON made some beautiful things in arts and crafts. J ON OSTRAU was our most skillful soccer player and scored more goals than anyone. FRANK FINK was by far the group's most advanced swimmer. He also asked the best questions at nature. MIKE ROSENFELD improved his baseball skills greatly helping bring the Panthers to many victories. J ON ROGER was liked by everyone because of his smiling face and good humor. He was also a line athlete. LEWIS KBORINSKY was the Bluejays' undis- puted basketball star. ' BARRY AUGUS was outstanding in soccer and baseball. He also had the redest head in the camp. . TODD LEVINE was the best all-round athlete in the Bluejays. He liked Jerry's Sunday night stories also. JEFF SCHLEIN tried hard and improved in all activities including eating peas. Although one of the smallest Bluejays, RICH- ARD DOUGLASS was one of the toughest and most competitive sportsman. DAVID SCHARF was one of the most popular boys in camp both with campers and staff. DAVE was a winner in all activities especially baseball. STEVE SIEGEL tried harder in all activities and improved more than anyone else in the group. All and all the Bluejays had a wonderful sum- mer that will provide many 'lasting memories for years to come.

There were several outstanding events during the past season which the SPARROWS engaged in. One such event was carnival. Bunks three and four joined together to come up with a very popular booth called 'The Ping Pong Race? Bunks live and six decided to go it alone and bunk five had a booth called Bob for Applesi' at the Gobble, Gobble, Restaurablev. Bunk six had a grand booth called Marshmallow on a String . The youngsters all had a great time at the carnival, especially MIKE ZWILLMAN who was the SPARROW entry at the Mold time pie eatin' contest. Another adventure undertaken by the SPAR- ROWS was the overnight hike to Mohawk State Forest under the guidance of Jack Turek, whose expert cooking enabled the SPARROWS to eat to their hearts' content, and these SPARROWS really ate !! The most regularly played and rnost enthusias- tically enjoyed sport for the SPARROWS was soft- ball. More than a dozen games were played among the four teams. The Panthers led by their captain, STEVE ROGER, were the minor league champions of the 1969 season. The other teams, all of them equal in spirit to the league winner, -were the Lions, led by their captain, STEVE SENDAR, the Bears, led by their captain, J ONNY BLANC, and the Tigers, led by their captain MITCH SCHWARTZ. The SPARROWS greatly enjoyed the trip to Lake Waramaug which included a ferry ride across Spectacle Lake, then about an hour and a half hike through beautiful countryside to the picnic area at Lake Waramaug. The SPARROWS turned from birds into fish at Lake Waramaug for they swam in the warm water for about four hours. This was one event not soon to be forgotten by this group of campers. The greatest adventure which the SPARROWS had this summer was an after dinner hike at the end of a beautiful day. The seven bravest SPAR- ROWS, MITCH SCHWARTZ, GREGG STONE, DOUG KAHN, STEVE ROGER, DAVE VER- SHEL, MIKE EFLAND, and KEITH GRUMER, along with a few very brave BLUE JAYS started out on a journey which would last about two and one half hours and which would take them through dangerous swamp lands and uninhabited forests. This brave Safari encountered on their long, difficult journey unheard of dangers: swollen streams, marshy lowlands, and above all, wild beasts of the forest. Truly, this was the SPARROWS' 'gfinest hour . Finally, in order to bring this review of the 1969 summer season to a proper conclusion, the indivi- dual campers must be introduced. GREGG STONE was known as the ustony bopper from Stony Beach . Gregg's favorite sports were baseball, soccer and kickball, but his greatest fun came from the notorious mudslide. MIKE ZWILLMAN's lovable nature and pockets full of candy always made him an essential to the happiness of the camp. Although his favorite sports were reading and sleeping, MIKE could always be depended on to save the team in a pinch. The 4'Barrel had the reputation of being the most well- known boy at KEN-MONT Camp. JIMMY BERNSTEIN, the most efficient when it came time to clean the bunk, earned the title of HMr. Clean , in addition to his cabin given name of Jimmy Cricket . JIM was an avid basket- ball and softball player but also- enjoyed gorging himself during canteen time. MITCH SCHWARTZ, captain of the Tigers, led the softball team to many victories. Known affec- tionately to his friends as short pants , MITCH proved his worthiness during the upillow, fight world seriesn. Arts and Crafts and swimming were his favorite activities with the final result being a suc- cessful launching of a rocket. DAVID VERSHEL, the numerologist, loved to keep track of all the scores of the games played. An avid baseball fan, especially fond of the Yankees and Mets, DAVID never missed the score of one game. DAVID enjoyed playing softball and kick- ball, as well as going to Arts and Crafts and Indian Lore. STEVE SENDAR, captain of the Lions, of course enjoyed softball very much. A very good swimmer, STEVE enjoyed the Olympic Day racing events at the waterfront. He also participated in soccer, kick- ball and Newcombe. In Indian Lore, STEVE was a fine Indian dancer. Y . 1.

MIKE was well-liked by his counselors for his lively spirit and mischievousness. TODD BACHMAN,s quiet nature earned the re- spect of his bunkmates since no one could anticipate his next move. TODD participated in all activities and could always be counted on to save the team in the face of danger. The campout proved to be his niche, where TODD showed to be an able out- doorsman. HOWARD ACKERMAN, a fine softball player and all around athlete, also enjoyed going to Indian Lore, Nature and Arts and Crafts. Even though HOWARD had trouble locating his things, HOW- ARD himself could always be located throwing a ball around somewhere. J ONNY BLANC, captain of the ever fighting Bears softball team, was one of the finest athletes in the SPARROWS. J ONNY's team devotion never waned even against what see-med to be insurmount- able odds. JONNY enjoyed Arts and Crafts and especially Indian Lore where he became the SPAR- ROWS' finest Indian dancer.

Early in the season the boys went on their first overnight camping trip. They roughed it in the woods, trying to put up their tents, and enjoying the gourmet cooking of Papa Jack Turek and the fearless Robin group leader, Frank Greenberg. The boys were also entertained by the enactment of the bloody Tales of the Trees by counselors Derry Stufft, Ron Slevin and Dave Lauer. It was a night to remember! Later in the season Bunks 7 and 10 ventured forth on another overnight. Bunk 101 had a particularly enjoyable time in their encounter with the girls of KEN-WOOD and in' the raid on their food by a group of racoons.

THE PRIZE WAS A GALLON JUG OF...YOU GUESSED IT...JELLY BEANS! jRigh+j BOB KRAKOWER GETS HIS JELLY APPLE FROM AUDREY. This year the FALCONS were one of the finest groups in camp led by their fearless leader, the Bag . The forty-four boys in the FALCON division took part in all phases of camp activity from the moment they arrived at camp on June 28th when catches were started on the front campus. Although the FAL- CONS activities were sometimes hampered by rain, we still had a very full and rewarding summer. None of us will ever forget the rains of '69 at Ken-Mont because it meant trips to the movies in New Milford and bowling in Danbury. Even though it was a wet summer our overnight to Pittsfield State Forest took place during the driest period of the summer. We really 'froughed it on top of that mountain in the forest, but Jack's cooking, especially his home fries made up for it and so did the movie we saw in Pittsfield, True Gritw, which really per- sonified the spirit of the FALCONS throughout the summer. The American League pennant race was one of the most exciting parts of our summer with the Aces wir1ning the championship in extra innings. The FALCONS were good baseball players and also enjoyed softball. The soccer field was also very popular with the boys in the group for they enjoyed being a little rough with each other and this sport provided them an opportunity. Under the coaching of Barry and Steve, they improved greatly over the summer. The FALCONS also excelled at the waterfront where swimming, boating, sailing, and water skiing were enjoyed by all members of the group, especially on those hot summer afternoons. Other activities the boys showed a special interest in were dramatics, arts and crafts, Indian lore, radio and nature. Some of the boys were really skilled in beadwork and lan- yard making. Special events days such as OlympiC Day and the Carnival followed by the barbecue will long be remembered-the charcoal steak was deli- cious! All in all the Group had many great moments at their summer home and can look forward to more at Ken-Mont, the home of the Blue and the Grey. ii-G--3 -if7'KiT-T-ifT-55-TTF 251-.....:e-Y-:..g..:.r,ff:, , ,. ,gg grrr, II.-I'-I-I-I I-z--I .. :::::1:e ...... -.:z:1::1:::1:zrf:-zzziafarm-:,:...... g:egz:.....::g ........-..-I V Y Fur V A A-M H , H . ,M ,V . . ,-A..,.....--,,,.,1.. .4..411 ,:--Qnzguzuasucagggpmzggggggasarsuz' .

CARDINALS The Cardinals of 1969 were as fine a group of boys as have ever been at Ken-Mont! An unusually versatile group of guys, they not only excelled on the playing Helds, but also in every other activity at camp. The Cardinals led the camp this year in inter- camp competition. They posted the finest single season record by a group since 1961. The baseball and softball teams, led by such stalwarts as LOR- EN KLEINMAN, MIKE ROSEN, JAY and PAUL KRAMER, JON SCHOTTLAND, MIKE FEDDER, MATT ZEPNICK, and SCOTT TUR- KEL, had a perfect record. Basketball also proved a pleasant task for the coaches as our all conquering teams defeated such rivals as Ma-Kee-Nac, Scatico, and arch rival Grey- lock. The efforts of such players as STEVE SAB- LOSKY, SCOTT WEBER, MIKE ROSEN, GARY SCHNEIDERMAN, PETE FUHRMAN, CORY SCHIFFMAN, and GARY STARR paved the way to many victories. . When the competition was fool-hardy enough to challenge us to a soccer match, the results were always the same-a Ken-Mont victory. The soccer team was manned by such ,future stars as ROB WEISBEIN, KEITH ROSENFELD, BRAD HY- MAN, BOB PRAVDER, MARTY SATURN, MITCH STERN, LARRY COPELAND, SHEL- DON KIVELL. and BOB KRIEGER. Some of these boys will star for their college teams in the future-so watch out! Because of the abilities of the Cardinals on the fields and courts of Ken-Mont, special leagues were set up just for them. Football league-s were a favorite. Such stars as DANNY FISHBEIN, BILLYg FALK, MARK DIRECTOR, JEFF MIN- DICH, LOREN KLEINMAN, JON KATZ. JON SCHOTTLAND and RICK BLANC led their teams in tough, hard fought battles. Golf and tennis were favorites of many of the boys and such Dlayers as MIKE LAZERWITZ. MIKE ROSEN. BOB KRIEGER, SCOT WEBER, JON SCHOTTLAND. MITCH STERN, GARY STARR and JON KATZ enjoyed the sports. Ski and Sail were activities where the Cardinals shown bright. Skiing was a special favorite of TONY ASTMANN, MARTY SATURN, BRIAN DRAZIN, STEVE FISCHER, MATT ZEPNICK. and BRIAN EGGERT. Sailing always found BRUCE FISH, BRUCE LADEN, BOB SENDAR, SCOTT SMALL, GARY STARR, MARK STEN- BERG, MARK VERSHEL, STEVE SCHWARTZ, and JEFF MINDICH ready to go. Sports were not the only thing that interested the Cardinals. The three day camping trip to Mount Greylock was a great success. Who can forget that little stroll through the woods , the view, and the extra activity that centered around the phone at the lodge! C I wonder if they ever found those girl scouts!J .Tackles home-cookedw meals sure were great-steak, corn-on-the-cob, home-fries, and that infamous bug juice. When the rains came, Bowling was on the list of favorites, but no- one wanted to bowl against the likes of BOB SENDAR for he was much too good. The only activity outside camp to rival bowling were our trips for pizza. The Cardinals of 1969 were a well rounded bunch of guys and the arts ,found them well repre- sented. Indian Lore with Dwayne always draws big crowds led by ROB WEISBEIN, BOB KRIEGER, SCOTT TURKEL, MARTY SATURN, and MATT ZEJPNICK. Nature always found KEITH ROSENFELD leading the way, and on one rainy day it is known that the entire group decided to do a littleanimal hunting for Jack. Arts and Crafts and Radio attracted BRAD KAUFMAN, MARK DI- RECTOR, BILLY FALK and JEFF MINDICH and Company. The Cardinals certainly had lots of fun in 1969 despite all the extra water, so the boys of '69 can look forward to an even better time as the Hawks of 1970 because of all the sunshine we've been guaranteed! , qfimlf35'0u76' ffa? : ll M - X I' ' K wt-W fs.

A Solid group of veteran campers, augmented byna DSPHIIK' ling of newcomers, the HAWKS left their imprint on every activity in camp,-scheduled or un- scheduled! Our athletic teams continued where they left off the previous summer, and in spite of the ekcess of liquid sunshine, turned in a winning record in every sport. Our inter-camp baseball team again went undefeated, clobbering our arch-rival Greylock 15-1. BOB MANDEL and BILLY SACK were our unbeaten hurlers, ably aided by JON SHEVELL, ANDY HOLDER, ALAN ABRAMSON, PETE WOLPERT, BOB BALLEN, BILL REICHMAN, DAVID GODNICK, BOB MENDELSON, RICK EAGLE, MIKE ROSEN, AL TOPCHICK, NORM ROSEN, RICH RIEGER, SCOTT ZUCKERMAN, PHIL SECKLER, RICKY WEIL, BILLY BLANK, HOWIE NATHEL and BOB GIMBEL. Our basketball 'team also had a fine season, finishing the season with a fine .750 wirming per- centage. There were many standouts, both on the inter-camp teams, and on o-ur Big Ten. league teams. The hardest worker and finest team player was Big J ON SHEVELL. ANDY HOLDER was our floor leader and BOB MANDEL was our best shooter. Among many other fine hoopsters were BILLY SACK, PETE WOLPERT, RICH RIE- GER, RICK WEIL, BOB BALLEN, AL ABRAM- SON, GREGG RUBIN, LARRY GREENFIELD, DAVE GODNICK, BOB MENDELSON, MIKE DOPPELT and BILLY BLANK. The team sport pushing the old standbys for first place in our interest is soccer. We won the only inter-camp match we were able to play-weather again'-but our Scottish League provided great competition the season long. We were a very even group in terms of ability in SOCCER and we played some of the toughest matches to be seen this side of England. Led by the two best goalkeepers in camp, J ON SHEVELL and BILLY REICHMAN, our league games were low scoring affairs. LARRY GREENFIELD and RICK EAGLE were outstand- ing backs while the top scoring tforwards were ANDY HOLDER, LARRY MAYER, BILL BLANK, RICK WEIL, KEITH RITT MASTER, AL ABRAMSON, DAVE GODNICK and BILLY SACK. Other fine performers were JOSH DOUGLASS, BOB GIMBEL, KEN KUNIN, and BRAD GERING. A new team sport, lacrosse, caught on quickly with the HAWKS and we soon developed some stars of the future. Among them were JON SHEVELL, RICKY EAGLE, DAVE GODNICK, BILLY REICHMAN and BOB FISH. We had the finest Junior golfers at Ken-Mont although our tournament season was greatly cur- tailed by . . . yes, you guessed it again! MIKE DOP- PELT won the division championship with ALAN ABRAMSON a close runner-up. JON SHEVELL also played on the Junior team while WALT KASS, MARC SIEGEL, CHARLEY MERINOFF, MIKE ROSEN, and BOB REICHER all showed great promise. The Hercest fought contests were our Canadian League football games. It seemed as though every HAWK eagerly looked forward to these slam-bang contests! The leagues Most Valuable Player, hard- nosed BILLY BLANK, led his team to the cham- pionship. There were so many outstanding per- formers it is difficult to list them all. Among them were ANDY HOLDER, KEITH RITTMASTER, GREGG RUBIN, BOB FISH, PETE WOLPERT, MIKE DOPPELT, BOB MENDELSON this Daddy was an all Ivy League guard!D, RICH RIEGER, BILL REICHMAN, SCOTT ZUCKER- MAN, DAVE GODNICK, BOB REICHER, HOWIE NATHEL, BOB MANDEL, MIKE ROSEN, AL ABRAMSON, BOB BALLEN, JON SHEVELL, PHIL SECKLER, RICK WEIL, AL TOPCHICK and DAVID OSHIN. The HAWKS were very prominent on the tennis courts. Competing in a summer-long ladder, playing inter-camp matches and receiving Dave's'instruc- tions, we were enthusiastic net-men. Our outstanding players were BILLY BLANK, BILLY SACK, AL ABRAMSON, fthe ladder winnerj, DREW 'f'f ' 2 HOLDER RICK WEIL BILLY SACK RICK EAGLE I-1oWY NATHEL Bois BALLEN and KEITH RITTMASTER The HAWK-EYES on the rilie range were DAVE GODNICK, WALT KASS, CLIFF STREIT, MARC LEHRER and DAVID OSHIN. :vt pig- ' .,:: ,-- xxanuzumuumamuuuau-f 1 -- -- -A---3:-,-,,:,....... .1 ....-.13L..g:g....:.

At skiing, KEITH RIT TMASTER, BRAD GERING, JEFF DANIELS, BILLY SACK, DREW HOLDER, JON SHEVELL, KEN KUNIN, BILL BLANK, LARRY MAYER, DAVE GOD- NICK and BOB FISH led the way. Our future America Cup racers at the sail dock were MARTY ROSENSWEET, RANDY SCHWARTZMAN, CLIFF STREIT, JOSH DOUGLASS, CHARLEY MERINOFF, PETE ENGEL, JEFF DANIELS and MARC LEHRER. - 7 There were many areas other than sports where the HAWKS shone. We had two silver spoon win- ners at the Ken-Mont theatre, BOB REICHER and MIKE ROSEN. Other leading ham-bones in the group were JOSH DOUGLASS, KENNY KUNIN, BILLY REICHMAN, CLIFF STREIT, DREW HOLDER, BOB FISH and AL TOPCHICK. JOSH DOUGLASS, CLIFF STREIT, GREG RUBIN, PETER ,ENGEL, MARTY ROSEN- SWEET and WALT KASS were all most creative at the crafts shop. JOSH and CLIFF built re- markable modern homes to perfect scale. We were interested in Ham Radio, in Indian Lore Ceven though we were in upper campy and every special event that took place. Some of the highlights of our summer included the Oakdale Theatre trip, the mud-slide, pizza, socials Cfor the society menj, Color War-par- ticularly the MANDEL vs. SACK 1-0 baseball game and the SACK to ROSEN touchdown pass to win the football game,-our inter-camp victories and that FANTASTIC three day camping trip to Ham- monasset and the Coast Guard Academy!

It was a very good summer . . . of mud slides . . . of mud fights ,... a lot of fun, a lot of mud. It was a very good summer .... The Nineteen Sixty Nine CONDOR Division was characterized by constant energy, adventure and excellence. The athletic teams showed very well on the courts and fields. Scatico and Greylock, our traditional rivals fell at the hands of the mighty CONDORS. This year seven new campers joined the CON- DOR Division-MIKE FUHRMAN, who came to camp with a cast on his right leg, enjoyed himself by helping coach the baseball team and when the cast came off he proved to be one of the better athletes in camp. In Color War, MIKE hit a line drive in the one-inning softball game to score a run. RIC ROSENBAUM was a member of the Baseball Team and B Basketball Team. RIC was one of the taller boys in the division and some day he might be seen shooting hoops for U.C.L.A. WHERE'S JOHN DeROSA , could be heard all over the campus. To know JOHN is to love him. JOHN enjoyed the waterfront and tennis. JIM SATURN came to us from Miami Beach and con- fessed that the New England weather was a little nicer than Miami in the summer. JIM excelled at sailing and Waterskiing. LOREN SHAPIRO. the Big guy of the division. hit a softball one game and Jerry is still looking for it. But LOREN you forgot to touch second base . Yes, he was called out and lost his home run. Love those umpires. JEFF SHULDENER was one of the best athletes in the group. He plaved on both A teams and excelled at tennis and swimming. JEFF KATZEN. last but not least, loved life and the fun of living. Manv funnv moments were spent hearing JEFF tell his stories. JEFF was also the fastest swimmer in the division.

KEN-MONT's COMEDIANS-the EAGLES The EAGLES of bunk 30A and B were probably the most cohesive group in the camp. The group dis- played a wide variety of interests and abilities. In addition to the regular activities of the camp, the EAGLES traveled to Stratford, Tanglewood, Cape Cod, the Jazz Festival and on a barnstorming tour. Two trips to Tanglewood included a combination of contemporary music and classical music. PETER IACOVELLI gave us a pre-concert introduction to the contemporary show which featured Joni Mitchell and included Tim Hardin and the Butterfield Blues Band. The second program included the Boston Symphony and world-famous pianist, Van Cliburn. RON KORY, the erstwhile commissioner of the Strat-a-Matic League, reported the completion of another successful season. A double-elimination tournament was played on Fisher Memorial Field. MATTY NATHEL's St. Louis Cardinals won the tournament but did not fare so well in the regular season. CLIFF ROSENBERG's San Francisco Giants won the National League title and JEFF GINZBERG's Bosox swept the American League laurels. Head Counselor Ron Bouchier accompanied 10 EAGLES on a White Water Canoe trip on the rapids of the Housatanic River. PETER SMALL, CLIFF ROSENBERG, KEN LEIBOWIT Z, MARK BARNETT, JIM RUBENSTEIN, RICH PINELES, PAUL LOCKE, MIKE WEISBEIN, JEFF GINZ- BERG and PETER WEISMAN braved the turbu- lent waters with Brian Kassenbrock and Ron. Shakespeare's Hamlet was presented in Stratford with the EAGLES in attendance. MITCH HORO- WITZ and BILL FLAXMAN were especially en- thralled by the performance. CDid someone say pizzaj It was a long and late trip back to Kent but everyone enjoyed it. The rain curtailed many activities but also lent itself to the discovery of new activities. Under the guiding hand of Harpo', HORWITZ, '6Boris,' FLAXMAN and Rowdy SMALL, the EAGLES discovered the Mud Slide. In addition, Muscle Beach LEIBOWITZ, Bayern MAYER, Thunder Tights GINZBERG, Dit Dot FEINBERG, and The Major SIEGEL attacked all counselors in sight and forcefully introduced them to the new game. Whenever the rain caused boredom, PETER Frank Sinatra IACOVELLI entertained with sparkling renditions of Animal Crackersf, Fly Me to the Moon and Camp Town Racesn. One of the new crazes to hit bunk 30 was the 'Construction and Firing of Rockets? Leading en- gineers were MICHAEL f'Babe WEISBEIN, RICHARD 'fInnocent PINELES, GARRY 6'Sweet,' AARON and MARK BARNETT, MARK FEINBERG received his Novice license in radio, MARK SHAPIRO took a vacation to the National Scouting Jamboree, and PETER SMALL earned his Water Safety Aid Certificate. Top athletes of the group were JON TUMEN, Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, KEN LEIBOWITZ, Tennis, Soccer, Baseball, JEFF GINZBERG, Ten- nis, Basketball, Skiing, PETER SMALL, Swim- ming, Sailing, Skiing, JAY GOODGOLD, Basket- ball, MARK BARNETT, Swimming and Skiing, BILL FLAXMAN, Skiing, Basketball, MIKE WEISBEIN, Skiing, Football, Golf, MITCH HOR- WITZ, Tennis, Baseball, MATTY NATHEL, Ten- nis, Basketball, HOWIE KUNIN, Baseball, RON KORY, Tennis, Skiing, ANDY MAYER, Football, Tennis, Golf, PAUL LOCKE, Sailing, JIM RUBENSTEIN, Baseball, Football, and CLIFF ROSENBERG, Basketball.

A lot of the old boys were back this year. The only new boy of the division was RICK SATURN. RICK, although a new boy, meshed right in with the veterans. The fact that he was from Miami helped him Very much with his job at the sail dock. RICK was also one of our merry mailmen. BARRY SCHUB was our ace softball pitcher on the intercamp team. BARRY put in a line per- formance in intercamp basketball. He was a fine tennis player and an excellent golfer. A second year camper, JIMMY JACOBS, was a large asset in basketball, during barnstorming, showing fine defensive work. JIMMY was also on the intercamp tennis team. MATT ROSS, an intense competitor, was a hard- nose in all sports. MATT started on both A basketball and baseball. He also played in the inter- camp tennis team, and rifle team. A tremendous pitcher, NEAL GARDNER gave us our big win against Camp Greylock in baseball! NEAL was- probably the finest tennis player in camp. LEE TUNIS, a veteran camper, was one of the finest basketball 'shooters in camp. Although in- jured during baseball practice, LEE didn't miss a a single ball game. LEE was also a fine golfer and tennis player. GARRY SCHAFFER was an avid tennis player. He put in a lot of time as a forward on the inter- Camp basketball teams. GARRY also put in a fine performance at first base on the softball teams. JEFF Dynamite ROSE is one of the veterans of the bunk. Although small in size, JEFF was large in power as he clearly showed by his fiery hitS On the intercamp softball team. ARNIE ROWAN was the head of the KEN- MONT mailroom. His determination and d1'iVC around the bunk was a model for all. He also put in fine performances in intercamp SOf'fb2lU and basketball. COLOR WAR LEADERS OSCAR REICHER AND MATT ROSS RECEIVE BLUE AND GRAY CAPTAINS' TROPHIES. KENNY RICHTER unfortunately drew most of this year's injuries. Although he sprained his ankle at the beginning of the year, he came back and played varsity baseball, but was then sidelined again with a hand injury. KENNY was a line athlete. The leader of the bunk was OSCAR REICHER. OSCAR played varsity baseball and basketball. He put in a line performance during barnstorming. A high point of the season was OSCAR's Friday night talk. DAVE HUTNER, our usual A team second baseman was transformed this year into an excellent shortstop. He was also the playmaker on the varsity basketball team. And last by no means least came GARY KRUG- MAN. GARY was the best skier in camp. We are hoping he'll be back next year as a member of the water skiing staff. GARY also put in fine per- formances in the intercamp softball and basketball teams. He also was on the intercamp rifle team. And so, now as campers, we join the ancient extinct DODO bird, but phoenix-like, we shall rise again as future staff members of OUR camp. .,l1...,-...-...,.i sir?-1--1----:-'m ' ' - -xr LL, -- f f ..-- -4-.-. 3, Bunk 3I lL. +o R.l Top Row: Bill Villano, MATT ROSS, RICK SATURN.

Jim is the Assistant Headmaster of Madison Country Day School while Ron is the all-winning football ,coach of Scarsdale High School. Our specialty staff was outstanding. Mark Fanger, one of New England's Red Cross executive instruc- tors gave us a successful waterfront season in spite of the rain. Jack Farrell, rapidly becoming a Ken- Mont fixture, made dramatics a favorite. Our Indian Lore program was the best ever with dancer Fred Carrington assisting Chief Two Bulls. Baseball again was number one, with Jim Rafferty showing the way. J im tells us he wished that he had Ken- Mont talent for the High School team he coaches! Gene Iba of the famous basketball family was a newcomer but ran an excellent program. Certainly We can't forget Elderberry Jack . Jack Turek runs the finest science program in camping. Dave Harri- Son returned from England to continue the high calibre of tennis instruction. Ted Cohen was our new ski head and his right hand man was our ex- Camper, Keith Kaufman. Jim Donald, an industrial arts teacher gave us a most interesting A1'tS and Crafts program. A new activity, lacrosse, was I1'10St ably headed by Bob Curcio, a Baltimore high school coach. Bob was ably assisted by Dave Shwkef, an attack man in lacrosse at the University of Pennsyl- Vania. Little Bill Villano, an ex-pro star, was again Our football commissioner.

Many more specialists merit recognition, but the heart of the camp, group leaders and general coun- selors, must be mentioned. Our group leaders were all outstanding and veteran camp men. In many other camps, they are qualified to assume head coun- selor responsibility. Again, Ion Mulvaney, an English teacher, helped our little men off to their first happy summer at camp. Steve Kutikoff who teaches in New York and is a third ye-ar Group Leader, was in charge of the Sparrows. The Robin man was veteran Frank Greenberg, a primary grade specialist in the New York school system. Mark Stern, affectionately known as the Bagv teaches in Youngstown, Ohio and headed our ten year old group. The backfield coach of Columbus, Ohio High School, Phil Koppel, was our Cardinal group leader, along with Dave Shenker. Jerry Wilson who coaches in St. Louis was a welcome addition as our Hawk group Leader. In the Condors, iive year man Arch Tracy-another high school coach-pro- vided his usual fine leadership. Ron Lynn, backiield coach of Union College directed our Eagles, while again, Bill Villano Cwho is also a football coachb put the Dodos on the right track. The general staff was the best ever. With ex- campers, teachers, graduate students and many fine athletes, these men gave our boys leadership and warm understanding. It was a mutually advan- tageous association.

' ' THE KEN-MONT BALL DIAMONDS, WHERE THE ACTION WAS AT. BASEBALL Baseball was, as always, the most popular sport in camp during the 1969 season. With our two base- ball and two softball diamonds in perfect condition, the season was off to the fastest start in years. The first few days were spent in tryouts, batting and fielding practice and base running. After every boy had earned a spot on a league team based on his ability, uniforms were drawn, and we prepared for opening day. Again we were lucky enough to have former major-league ball player Cy Block of the Chicago Cubs to open our baseball season. Cy spent time showing the boys how to hit and how to field the positions in the infield. The clinic given was enjoyed by all and all of us learned something from Cy Block. Inter-camp Competition The inter-camp competition was cut short by the unusually large amount of rain we had this summer, but what competition there was, was excellent. The Eagle-Dodo Combination went undefeated with a record of 4 wins and no losses. NEAL GARDNER was one of the best pitchers Ken-Mont has ever had. NEAL was 2 and O this year. Both wins were shut-outs, Scatico 12 to 0, and 14 strike- outs, Greylock 3 to O with 14 strike-outs. When on the mound, he was overpowering. The keys to our run producing were MITCH HORWITZ, MATT ROSS and LEE TUNIS. MITCH HORWIT Z aver- aged 2 hits and 3 RBIls a game. MATT and LEE had big triples in both Scatico wins. The biggest hit of the entire year was in the Lenox game which we won 3 to 2. MITCH HORWTTZ hit a home run into the woods, nearly 400 feet from home plate! KEN LEIBOWITZ was the winning pitcher in that game, and KEN also beat Scatico in a return game ........-,.,,.........,.....-- Meis IL.

The infield was excellent with OSCAR REICHER at 3rd base, DAVE HUTNER, short- stop, HOWIE KUNIN, 2nd base, and powerful JEFF GINZBERG at lst base. The Eagles lost a pair of heart breakers to Grey- lock, 2 to 1, and 8 to 7. The big hitters for the Eagles were JIM RUBENSTEIN, JEFF GINZ- BERG, ANDY MAYER, and MATTY NATHEL. The defense was handled excellently with CLIFF ROSENBERG, cf, HOWIE KUNEN, 2nd base, and MARK FEINBERG, 3rd base outstanding. The Condor division was the hardluck division in the camp. Their record was one win and three losses. All their losses were by one run. However, they defeated our arch-rivals Greylock 5 to 2, in the biggest game of the season. LARRY SPINNER pitched a four-hitter and struck out ten. STACEY SIMON hit two long doubles and LARRY KLITZ- MAN, our catcher, drove in two runs and caught every runner trying to steal. The infield did a great job defensively with JOHN ROSS 3rd base, MIKE MOORIN shortstop, ALLAN KLEBAN 2nd base, and RIC ROSENBAUM lst base. The outfield duties were handled in great style by STACEY SIMON lf, STU DOPPELT cf and JEFF WEISS in rf. The Hawks played a rain-shortened season and they went through the season undefeated. BOBBY MANDEL and BILLY SACK were our two hard throwing righthanded pitchers. BOBBY beat Grey- lock 15 to 1 and BILL beat Scatico 5 to 0. The big hitters were JON SHEVELL, BILL SACK, and ANDY HOLDER. JON had a double, and a bases loaded triple against Greylock. The infield was air- tight with ALAN ABRAMSON 3rd base, ANDY HOLDER shortstop, PETE WOLPERT 2nd base and JON SHEVELL lst base. The outfield was led by BOB BALLEN lf, BILL REICHMAN cf, and DAVID GODNICK rf. The catching duties were handled by BOBBY MENDELSON. The Cardinal division didn't disappoint anyone in camp! It was thought by all this may be the best baseball group ever at Ken-Mont. Age for age, they were unbeatable. They defeated every team they played by at least five runs. JAY KRAMER and MIKE ROSEN were our big pitchers. They were nearly un-hittable! The number one hitter was LOREN KLEINMAN. LOREN, when he becomes an Eagle, will lose a lot of baseballs in the right- field woods. The infield was handled by STEVE KRIEGER 3rd base, DANNY FISHBEIN short- stop, MITCH STERN 2nd base, LOREN KLEIN- MAN lst base. The catcher was tough little SCOTTY WEBER. The outfield duties in center field were handled by JON SCHOTTLAND, while PAUL KRAMER was our rightfielder, and MIKE ROSEN our leftnelder. lnfra-Camp Competition American League The Cubs were the league winners and they did this by defeating the Mets in a league play-off 7 to 5. CEvents proved to be different with these two teams in the Majorslj They were led by the out- standing hitting and fielding of BRUCE GOLD- MAN, PAUL FELDAN, RIC FEINSTEIN, and TEDD WEISMAN. '6Remember TED's big double 939 in the Falcon Color War game. The Mets Hnished in 2nd place and they were led by the clutch hitting of PHIL KASS, NOEL HOGANS, and LARRY SORREL. JON GOLD- WATER, PHIL KASS and JON ROSEN made the big plays defensively. The Cards finished 3rd and were- close in all their losing games. PHIL LANDAU was the leader of the Cards ofiensively and defensively. Other clutch players were MARK SECKLER, ANDY OKUN and STEVE FASS. - The Spades ended their season in the 4th place. Their key performers were JEFF DAVIDSON, JEFF GOLDBERG, BOB KRAKOWER, DAVE IACOVELLI, BOB NORDEN and DAVE BERN- STEIN. The Aces finished 5th, but they had the satisfac- tion of winning the elimination tournament. They were led by the 'outstanding play of BRYAN M.V.P. BLOOM, LORNE GODNICK, DAVE DOUGLASS, HARRISON STERLING, STEVE KRIEGER and BRIAN STERLING. ' The Braves finished in the 6th place but then finished 2nd in the elimination tournament. They were led by the outstanding play of JON BLANK, J ON DOPPELT, FRANK LAUREDA, DAVID ALBIN, LARRY POMER and MIKE WEIN- STOCK. The Bucs finished in last place, but they had the terrible luck of losing three games by one run. They were led by the outstanding play of BRAD GOLDBERG, JEFF RADLER, PETE CORREN, KEN LIGHT and MARC STARR. -wf iita rua.: --.L . . , ., , U vu ' M fffm:F''ETL-mf-.-1-12..H13Tf3-22-1lil-552955.55:EggsFF-RWE.: - -------.-,....::::: ::::',.-1y35E:g::.-.z:.-:.'-2f.-g--.:,'::...:fzggii-Lis-..n I..---f:,un,... ,I IN.

The Golds Hnished 2nd but then had the satisfac- tion of winning the elimination tournament. They were led to 2nd place and champs of the tourna- ment by the league's M.V.P., ALAN ABRAM- SON. ALAN was ably assisted by BILL SACK, MIKE ROSEN, PAUL KRAMER and ALAN TOPCHIK. ' The Greys were the leagueis hard luck team. They lost 3 one run games and this cost them the pennant. The outstanding performers of the Grey team were BOB MANDEL, DAVID GODNICK, NORMAN ROSEN, MARK DIRECTOR and MIKE FEDDER. The Sox finished 4th but they beat the Champs, the Green team, in the elimination tournament 8 to 5. The outstanding performers were LOREN KLEINMAN, RICK RIEGER, BOB MENDEL- SON, SCOTT ZUCKERMAN, SCOTT TURKEL and LARRY COPELAND. The Blues were led by the fine all-round play of ANDREW HOLDER, one of the finest athletes in Ken-Mont. He was ably assisted by PETER WOL- PERT, PHIL SECKLER, BILL FALK, JON SCHOTTLAND and RICK BLANC. The Maroons had a very disappointing season but they did defeat the Greys in the 61iI1'1il121U0U tournament. They were led by the play of RICH WEIL, BILL BLANK, HOWIE NATHEL, STEVE SABLOSKY and SCOTT WEBER.

GARY KRUGMAN, STACEY SIMON, ANDY MAYER and STAN MARCUS assisted DAVE ably. . The Browns were led by the power hitting of MITCH HORWITZ and LEE TUNIS. The defense was excellently supported by JAY GOODGOLD, CLIFF ROSENBERG, ALLAN KLEBAN and STU DOPPELT. The A's had the misfortune, of having NEAL GARDNER, the best pitcher in camp on their team. Since NEAL had to pitch the big Intercamp games, he could not pitch for the A's. NEAL led the hit- ting along with JEFF GINZBERG, PETE WEIS- MAN, and JOHN ROSS. JEFF ROSE and JEFF WEISS were outstanding in the field. The Reds were the hard luck club because their key player was injured all year, last year's M.V.P., KEN RICHTER.

TENNIS CLUB 1969 u Despite severe restrictions on play due to the inclement weather, the tennis courts continued to be 21 popular attraction for many boys of all ages. Apart from regular activity periods, several boys, P3ff1CU121r1y in the younger age divisions, spent free Play periods in further work towards perfection of the-basic play skills. The standard of play was noticeably improving towards the end of camp. In the tournaments arranged for the upper camp several exciting matches resulted in an all round enthusiastic competition. Color War with its fierce rivalry produced several matches lasting two hours and more before being decided by a single game. For the first time special short handled teaching rackets were used to enable the youngest boys from BLUEJAYS and SPARROWS to start learning the game, with rackets more suited in size to the small boys- Many progressed successfully to use their own ffrlckets after only a few lessons, and we hope for 501116 great players developing in future years. A The ROBINS group had some great potential this year. MARK SECKLER, LEONARD ES- FORMES and STEPHEN FUHRMAN were pray- ing good tennis by the end of the summer and much hard work was put in to improvement by RICKY SCHAFFER, KEITH HARTLEY, BART SCHNEIDERMAN and FRED MEYERS. Enthusiasm in the FALCON group waned a little this year, but SCOTT LeBOLT should do well if his interest is retained, and STEVE and PETER FASS were enthusiastic players during regular activity. The CARDINALS produced a line combination of talent and enthusiasm with MIKE LAZERWIT Z and MIKE ROSEN continuing their progress of previous years. Both are now ably competing with much older boys and became an effective doubles pair playing together. JAY KRAMER, LOREN KLEINMAN, ION SCHOTTLAND and SCOTT WEBER all progressed showing considerable poten- tial, but their time and eiforts were restricted by versatility in so many other sports. BOB KRIEGER must be complemented for his outstanding improve- ment since last year ranking him now among the top players of his group. 51' 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 enthusiastic competition in the ladder tournament BILLY BLANK ALAN ABRAMSON ANDY HOLDER RICH WEIL and BILLY SACK all made useful contributions to our intercamp teams while showing considerable improvement in their personal performances through the summer RICKY EAGLE HOWY NATHEL and BOBBY BALLEN put in some good work and should become good players if their interest is sustained playing skills, In an enthusiastic end of season competition the long standing rivals KEN LEIBOWITZ and RON KORY were left to fight out the iinal. MATT ROSS, NEAL GARDNER, LEE TUNIS and GARRY SCHAEFFER from the DODO Divi- sion contributed some good tennis to the program and all played in intercamp matches. BARRY glvlng V1CtO1'y to PETER BARG w1th NEIL MIL- LER as a fighting runner up Both these bo s should h y ave some great chances for success next ear The EAGLES provided much of our intercamp strength with ANDY MAYER RON KORY RICH PINELES KEN LEIBOWITZ and JEFF GINZ- BERG all showing considerable development in their matches.

From early morning until dark-and often after dark under the light towers-all the courts were busy with future Bill Bradleys. Under the leadership of Gene Iba Ca famous name in basketballj a high school coach in St. Louis, and with at least four ex-collegiate stars as- sisting Gene, our program was heavy on instruction as well as competitive play. Agility, dribbling drills, passing and shooting drills, play technique, squad drills and finally league games brought our boys to a high level of play. Two evenings a week were de- voted to clinics for campers who needed extra coaching in any facet of the game. The results of all this effort were seen in the calibre of league play and inter-camp games. FALCONS . . . CMissouri Valley Conferencej This year's intra-camp season was exciting for the FALCONS. It was a tight race: Four teams found themselves tied at seasonls end, with a 3-2 overall record. The St. Louis Billikins, led by high-scoring JEFF DAVIDSON and quick dribbling BILLY WEISS finally pulled out the championship in a playoff with the Wichita Wheat Shockers. Exam- ples of other outstanding performances were JON BLANK's all around play and BRUCE GOLDMAN's clutch shooting. Some other fine competitors were LARRY SORRELL, JON GOLDWATER, LORNE GODNICK, CLIFF STERLING, PHIL KASS, NOEL HOGANS, PHIL LANDAU and BRIAN BLOOM. CARDINALS . . . CAtlantic Conferencej Again a fine season has been recorded for the Cardinals. Their inter-camp team, which finished undefeated and with the best record in camp this year, was led by such stars as: DANNY FISHBEIN, LOREN KLEINMAN, JAY KRAMER, JON SCHOTTLAND, STEVE SABLOSKY, SCOTT WEBER and MIKE ROSEN. The intra-camp race was a thriller which resulted in a playoff between the Kentucky Wildcats and the St. Joe Hawks, each with a 5-1 record. St. Joe beat the Wildcats in the last game of the season by one point scored on a DANNY FISHBEIN steal and layup, to get into the playoffs. However, when they met for the championship, Kentucky emerged victorious by a small margin. Excellent play was turned in by JON SCHOTT LAND and PETER FUHRMAN, in both games. HAWKS . . . CBig Ten Conferencej This yearls Hawk team, as many Hawk teams in the past, was outstanding. Their inter-camp record was a fine 3-l. This ballclub was led by ANDY HOLDER's fine floor play, JON SHEVELL's in- side play, BOB MANDEL's shooting, assisted ably by BILLY SACK, PETE WOLPERT, RICH RIE- GER and may others. With these fine ballplayers participating they were seldom in trouble. Coaching this year's team was Jerry Wilson also a St. Louis High School coach. - In league play the Purdue Boilermakers, led by BOB MANDEL, RICKY WEIL and BOB BAL- LEN raced to an undefeated season. Their major competition came from a fine Ohio State Buckeye team led by JON SHEVELL, ALAN ABRAMSON, GREGG RUBIN, and LARRY GREENFIELD. Another contender for the title was the Iowa Hawk- eye team. This ballclub was captained by RICH RIEGER aided by DAVID GODNICK, BOB MENDELSON and MIKE DOPPELT. CONDORS . . . Clvy Leaguej , The Condor division had an excellent season this year. Both the inter-camp and the intra-camp teams were successful. The well organized team was coached by Connecticut Mentor. Archie Tracy and was captained by LARRY KLITZMAN. It was led by LARRY SPINNER's fine rebounding, JOHN ROSS' jump shooting, MIKE MOORIN's floor play and STAN MARCUS' all around play. The league play was dominated by the Harvard Crimson. Led by captain JOHN ROSS and fine play by JEFF WEISS the Crimson gained first place with an undefeated record. Other good ballplayers in the Ivy League were JEFF SHULDENER, ALLAN KLEBAN, STU DOPPELT and STEVE SCHIFFMAN. EAGLES and DODOS . . . CPro Leaguej As the oldest group in camp the Eagles and Dodos were the most active with their out of camp schedule. They participated in the Scatico invita- tional tournament, the Birchwood invitational tournament and a barnstorming trip of three camps in three days. Because of a change in offensive and defensive play from last year, they had more to learn and not too much time to learn it in. However, there was good progress and those on the inter- camp teams picked up considerable knowledge to help them with their high school careers. MATT ROSS, JON T UMEN, OSCAR REICHER, NEAL GARDNER, LEE TUNIS and DAVE HUTNER all had a fine year. Within the camp's Pro League, the Boston Celtics emerged undefeated with a 5-0 record. MATT ROSS, MATTY NATHEL and KEN RICHTER Cinjured part of the seasonj all made great contri- butions to the team's success. Challenging the Celtics for the championship were the Los Angeles Lakers C4-lj led by NEAL GARDNER, BILL FLAX- MAN, DAVE HUTNER, JAY GOODGOLD and GARY KRUGMAN. Other fine players in the League were OSCAR REICHER, LEE TUNIS, JON T UMEN, CLIFF ROSENBERG and KEN LEIBOWITZ. ALL STAR TEAMS Missour Valley CFalconsJ JON BLANK .............. ........

KEN-Mom soccfn 'ihis year the soccer program, like all the other outdoor activities, was badly hit by inclement weather. The rain however did not dampen the spirit for the game that has steadily built up over the years here in Ken-Mont. Many of the boys now had a few seasons of soccer, and as a result their understanding of the game has increased by leaps and bounds. No longer was the ball kicked aimlessly from end to end, the aim now is to maintain possession and pass the ball upfield from team mate to team mate. The better players also showed a lot of imagination and thought, by some of the maneuvers they attempted. Regardless of ability, the boys illustrated a tremendous amount of team spirit-the key to the game. As Joe Judge and Frank Flemming, 196718 soccer counselors emphasized, there is no place in soccer for the selfish player? Sheer weight of num- bers will always stop the player who does not want to part with the ball, but a good TEAM is very diilicult to stop. From the youngestto the oldest groups the emphasis this year was placed on playing the game. Team work was coached and the boys gradually began to see the importance of this aspect of the game. The BLUEJAYS, although having trouble con- trolling the large soccer ball at times, began to show some understanding of the game towards the end of the summer. With such players as DAVID KATZ, MIKE ROSENFELD and JONNY OSTRAU, the boy who never gave in for any reason, the future of soccer in Ken-Mont looks bright. The SPARROWS showed that last year's lessons had not been forgotten during the winter, and some outstanding battles developed during the season. Their control of the ball was very good at times and J ON BLANC in particular showed where the ball must go if your team is to win. Following on just behind J ON, were those three boys who really allowed themselves to get involved in every gamtb, MITCHELL SCHWARTZ, STEVE ROGER and ROBERT ARKIN. BOB never stopped laughing all the time he was playing and yet showed great determination in every tackle. Moving on to the Robins, the outstanding athlete in the group must surely have been FRANK LAUREDA. LENNY ESFORMES and he were the most industrious and talented on the Soccer field, and with FRED MEYERS, who scored 3 ggals in the English League, and JON DOPPELT the group had a very solid core of ability from which the other ROBINS appeared to benefit. Last year the ROBIN group showed much promise, and this year as the FALCONS they more than fulfilled all that was expected of them. To name all the good players would take up half of this article, but we must compliment JON BLANK, BRUCE CGoldieJ GOLDMAN, and PHILIP KASS for their forward play and good scoring abilities-, JEFF CGooseJ DAVIDSON for his dogged de- termination and strength in defense, and JEFF GOLDBERG for his performances in goal. This was an excellent group, whose standard of skill is a credit to them and the camp. Probably the best all-round group in the camp this year was the CARDINALS. Their soccer per- formances did much to enhance their fine repu- tation. Experience over the years really showed itself, with players illustrating many of the finer points of the game, particularly ball control, passing and ac- curacy of shooting. In the last, little SCOTT WEBER reigned supreme. He could snap up half chances and so inspire his team to greater efforts. Worthy of special mention are JAY KRAMER and LOREN KLEINMAN for their powerful tackling and forceful play, and DANNY FISHBEIN, STEVE SABLOSKY and CORY SCHIFFMAN for their skill on the ball. Joining the CARDINALS in the Scottish League were the HAWKS, and although they did not have Sl1Ch a high proportion of outstanding players, the group as a whole was very good. l There was no quarter asked and no quarter given In their matches g 'fthe game is a tough one and that's the Way it should be played , appeared to be their motto. In defense the HAWKS had two of the finest 8031 keepers on campus in JON SHEVELL and BILL REICHMAN, and also two excellent baCkS In LARRY GREENFIELD and RICK EAGLE. They also had forwards of note in ANDY HOLDER, BILLY BLANK and RICKY WEIL Xgsgflglfed 16 goals among them in the Scottish The .QONDORS and EAGLES were infre- quent visitors to the soccer field because of out of camp activities, etc., but like the other groups they had several good players. In the CONDORS, STACY SIMON illustrated some of the talent that has earned him a place in his school soccer team and he tended to overshadow slightly a group of five boys whom I considered to be the better players. These boys were LARRY KLITZMAN, MIKE MOORIN, STEVE SCHIFFMAN, LARRY SPIN- NER and JOHN ROSS. Being the most senior group in camp, the good players in the EAGLE group tended to stand out from the others. Three boys stood out very clearly. In JIM RUBENSTEIN the EAGLES had an excel- lent goal keeper and a jovial character. JON TUMEN was the most goalminded and dangerous when on the ball, and KEN LEIBOWITZ was surely one of the finest ball players at KEN-MONT. His construction play was very pleasing to watch, and admired by all. Competition is an important factor in any game and soccer is no exception, and so leagues were introduced into the program for the first time. These were three leagues dividing up the various camp groups: The English League CROBINS and FALCONSJ and the Scottish League CCARDI- NALS and HAWKSJ each had eight teams while the International League CCONDORS, EAGLES, DODOSJ had six teams. The leagues were a great success and enjoyed by all the teams in them. The sides fielded seven players at a time into the mini fields, and substitutions were made at 'fhalf time , thus allowing every boy to take part. Probably the simplest and the best method of showing the outcome of the leagues, and the goal scoring performances, is to draw up the results tables, This is shown on the following page, and ll can be clearly seen that there was a lotiof action and a lot of good scoring-two very important 'factors when trying to interest boys in any form of ball game.

Finally, on August 8th, our out-of-practice golfers traveled to Potomac and acquitted them- selves very well. Our Juniors won their end of the competition but the Seniors finished just out of the money. MIKE ROSEN had the best Junior card while JIM JACOBS had low gross for the Seniors. Fortunately, we were blessed with much sunshine the last few weeks of the summer and our ladders, group championship play and Color War matches were all played.

Play was unusually fine through- out the competition. The rapid improvement of many participants made Commissioner William Villano feel that the leagues were a huge success. The Colts, Champions of the N.F.L., were piloted by their line quarterback I ON SCHOTTLAND. Complementing J ON with his receiving talents was DANNY FISHBEIN. DANNY led all the scoring with seven touchdowns and won the Most Valuable Player award for his efforts. MIKE ROSEN and MARK DIRECTOR also made significant contri- butions to the success of their teams. The one word that marked the play of the Bears was enthusiasm. Captain I AY KRAMER proved to be a very capable performer along with receiver BILLY FALK and lineman SCOTT TURKEL. The Browns were led by Captain LOREN KLEINMAN, a close runner-up in the M.V-P- Voting. LOREN was one of the league's most feared Offensive threats. PETE FUHRMAN and PAUL KRAMER were the other stand-outs on the BIOWHS' roster. The players on the Lions showed promise of becoming line football players. Alertness and being 'ftough in the clutch was their trademark. Captain STEVE SABLOSKY, SCOTT WEBER and GARY SCHNEIDERMAN best exemplified these attri- butes. This league should produce many collegiate stars in the future. Quebec was the champion of the Canadian Foot- ball League. Captain BILLY BLANK, the M.V.P., along with ANDREW HOLDER, KEITH RITT- MASTER and GREGG RUBIN, was largely re- sponsible for Quebec's drive to the flag. Montreal CCommissioner Villano's team when he played pro footballb played well this past season. Captain BOB FISH was aided by the offensive play of PETE WOLPERT and MIKE DOPPELT. Toronto played some very exciting football. BOB MENDELSON, captain, was a good leader on the field. BOB was especially helped by RICH RIEGER and by BILLY REICHMAN,s good defensive play. SCOTT ZUCKERMAN was the outstanding Captain of Ontario. Other important members of the Club were DAVE GODNICK, BOB REICHER and HOWIE NATHEL. Captain BOB MANDEL of Vancouver was one of the better quarterbacks in the league. The team was helped by the dedicated play of MIKE ROSEN, ALAN ABRAMSON and BOBBY BALLEN. Ottawa was led to a surprising finish by Captain JON SHQEVELL. Most of his support came from PHIL SECKLER and RICH WEIL. The Canadian Football League was one of the better leagues of the past few years. Coach Bob Curcio guided his team, the Jets, to the A.F.L. Championship, Captain LARRY KLITZMAN, the league's Most Valuable Player led the offensive, and along with DAVE WINSTON, was instrumental in the J ets, victory. Lloyd dig iti' Shuvall, was at the helm of the Raiders. He and Captain JOHN ROSS were helped by the fine play of DANNY GLICKENHAUS and JEFF WEISS. Rangers, with Al Hthe chess Lewis, were a tough football club. Captain LARRY SPINNER was an outstanding leader on and off the field. MIKE BLUMSTEIN and STACEY SIMON showed great improvement. Joe Gugino coached the Broncos through an exciting season. JEFF SHULDENER, Captain, and MIKE MOORIN were the outstanding players on the team. Commissioner Lil Bill Villano wishes to thank everyone for the cooperation and desire that made these leagues so successful. ARCHERY A This year's archery program at KEN-MONT showed many promising shooters. Robin Hood spirit and tradition was maintained especially in the middle and lower divisions of camp. Although there was not any inter-camp competition, KEN- MONT would have certainly ranked high among the camps. Requiring great concentration and many hours of practice, a number of boys succeeded in gaining recognition from the Camp Archery Association. Among many outstanding Archers, special re- cognition should be made of the following boys: MARTY SATURN JEFF DAVIDSON RICKY BLANC LEN ESFORMES GARY STARR KEITH HARTLEY DOUG WEINSTEIN DANNY SABLOSKY BRIAN EGGERT JEFF RADLER JON ROSEN Cardinal Division Falcon Division Robin Division ChamPl0l1 Color War victor outstanding Archer GARY SCHNEIDERMAN ' M eld WZ x Miociatim 'S, Spftiallf- 4 I Pwillgboysz .

It has been said that every American man has a secret longing to be a crack-shot with a rifle. With over 10,000 rounds fired on the range, the very popularity of KEN-MONT's .22 program would seem to verify this statement. Hey, Rick, is the Rifle,Range going to be open tonight during free play? Lew, can I fire at baseball cards? Rick, what am I doing wrong? Only two of my bullets hit the target. Lew, can I fire the shot- gun? These are just four of the hundreds of ques- tions each day put to the 1969 Ken-Mont Rifleiy Staff of Lew Toia and Cadet Rick Murdoch. Safety, knowledge and fun were the three factors Used to guide the instruction and firing this past season. Each camper was impressed with safety on the Rifle Range. They were taught Range proce- dures and the proper method of loading and firing the weapons. Everyone learned what to do in case Of 21 misire and the Range soon became known 21S the One place in camp where absolute, unquestiOI16d Obedience was necessary. National Rifle Association testing as was the case with many activities this summer, was severely cur- tailed by the New England monsoons that hit Kent. Because of the impracticality of building a covered bridge from the firing line to the target area fifty feet away firing was suspended for quite a few days. This meant that a few youngsters were unable to shoot the minimum number of targets for a National Riile Association Award. Instruction and practice was limited to the prone and sitting position. Some of the older and more experienced campers such as GARY KRUGMAN and RICK SATURN werex allowed to fire from all positions. Lew and Rick tried to make firing enjoyable and challenging. Group instruction was kept to a mini- mum so that the maximum time could be spent on actual firing where individual corrections were made and instructions given. MIKE ZWILLMAN of the SPARROWS was our most enthusiastic student. His youth and size made it diflicult for him to stabilize the riile but his enthusiasm more than made up for it. It was cleary diflicult for him to not run down range as soon as he had completed firing to see how he had done! In the ROBINSQ DAVE BERNSTEIN showed up for Color War competition carrying a pillow to Cushion his sore elbow! Alas, he did not win be- cause MARK HURST fired better, but the desire was outstanding. PETER SMALL fired the best ten rounds for record with a score of 86 and ARNIE ROWAN had the best five round target with 3 score of 48 of 50. KEN-MONT's Rifle team did compete in one Tournament held at camp To-Ho-Ne in Massa- chussetts. The team and their scores were DAVID GODNICK t90J, LEE TUNIS C87J, GARY Tx? sf - fm is 352 ft!

Skill shooting with our 20 guage shot uns was . . g limited to boys Of Upper camp, because of the heavier weight and. much greater recoil of the shot- guns. It was a thrill to bring down a clay pigeon in llight and many of our senior campers hope to UV the areal thing with their Dads during the fall bird season. TXLLQ J .

Afg fly wha Ken-Mon WA TER RDNT A C TI VITI 5 I 1 I SWIMMING O FUN highlighted the '69 waterfront season. Every camper enjoyed the games, instructions, dis- tance swirns, Red Cross testing, boating, surfing, the War canoes, and just plain 'dunkin'. Characterized by laughter and enjoyment, the waterfront became a way of life for all. After a long, hot, and uncomfortable trainride, the entire camp cooled off with a brief swim-thus beginning the season with the largest number of kids 111 the cribs at the same time during the entire sum- mer. After that evening it would be very difficult to Say what the highlight of the summer was at the Ken-Mont waterfront. Each group, and more im- POrtant, every boy remembers one or two things that were most important to him. For almost all of the members of the lower camp, the individual im- PFOVK-Iment as swimmers was extensive and miracu- lous. Hardly a day would pass when at least two Or three of the youngest would pass at least a few tests. Among the most improved swimmers in camp were MITCH SCHWARTZ, STEVE GALLANT, FRANK PINK, and TODD LEVINE all of whom passed their pre-beginner, beginner, and advanced beginner courses. These boys worked hard and deserve a lot of credit for doing so well. Others who worked hard and succeeded include MIKE KREITMAN in the deep water work, JIMMY ENGEL with stroking and skills, MARTY COHN, with stroking and diving, and many others. Older boys spent their time on the waterfront in many ways. The Hawks enjoyed paddleboarding and especially waterpolo. Many of the most excit- ing games of waterpolo saw teams of Hawks beating the less experienced counselors! Whatever team had a hard worker like PETER ENGEL was at a dis- tinct advantage. Many of the Condors will remember a canoe trip that was exciting and memorable. After waiting for the camp truck to take them to the rapid and on- rushing waters of the Housatonic River, they almost lost one of their counselors. But skillful and adept handling of the canoe resulted in a quick conquer- -f..-.-.--F ing of the white water. The other memorable event to the Condor group was that of watching the Eagles building their greatest memory of the 1969 summer at the Ken-Mont waterfront. As the long summer started to come to a close, the anticipation of the barnstorming trip and the excitement of a color war coming closer and closer made the Eagles eager for adventure and intrigue. The Eagles were eager to explore new aspects of camp life and to create new and more ingenious methods of experimental programs-especially on the waterfront! A mayhem of excitement and free- dom of activity characterized what can only be described as an Eagle controlled day at the water- front. An angry waterfront director soon cooled off when the group voluntarily replaced what it had previously displaced. All's well that ends well, and the waterfront soon returned to normal functioning BOATING AND The KEN-MONT campers put a great deal of heart and soul into the boating and canoeing pro- gram this year. They were down to the waterfront not only on nice days but during every small break which poor weather offered. Here, in their own words, is the story: BOB FISH- This year I was surprised at how much fun learning about boating and canoeing was. We had fun swamping and unswamping canoes. I hope to do it again next year . BILLY BLANK- I liked the five mile paddle. It was very interesting. Swamping a canoe with my partner was also. I thought I knew a lot about canoeing till I took this coursen. JON SHEVELL- I enjoyed this canoeing course very much. It was fun to swamp canoes and to learn the different strokes. Next year I hope to be able to go on a canoe trip . MARK LEHRER- I think knowing the canoe- ing and boating skills can help you in the future. It is very important to know how to rescue someone in trouble . BILLY REICHMAN- I learned the canoe- over-canoe rescue and soon used it when BOB FISH and I helped a boy to get back to shore be- fore an electric storm struck . . . . even when Eagles returned to camp after their trips. Clearly, however, the outstanding feature of the summer on the Ken-Mont waterfront was not the activity otf the Eagles, but rather the activity of one member of the Eagle group-PETER SMALL. Not only did he excell as a swimmer by passing the American Red Cross Advanced Swimmers Course but he also passed the American Red Cross Water Safety Aide Course. Pete utilized his swimming and teaching skills throughout the summer. Every day he would help the younger campers during his own free time and he would also help the waterfront staff. Most of the boys who spent time on the water- front whether sunning themselves on paddleboards, playing waterpolo, helping others, or improving their own skills, seemed to enjoy and benefit from time spent in and around the water. CANOEING LARRY MAYER- The highlight of the course was the five mile paddle around the lake and learning the Jn stroke. The course was very worth- while . DAVID GODNICK--'fThe canoeing course was very educational. It was a lot of fun. You get a paddle for passing. KENNY KUNIN- I enjoyed swamping the boat and making knots. PETER ENGEL- The thing 1 liked best was learning to control the canoe? SCOTT ZUCKERMAN- I liked the five-mile paddle best. PETE BARG- I thought the way Brian used to say, Use your skills, men was funny. JEFF KATZEN-- I enjoyed learning how to swamp a canoe and stay safe in a swamped canoe. CHARLIE MERINOFF4 Boating and canoe- ing was fun and I want to do more next year. JAIME SATURN- We had just returned from a canoe trip when Brian stood up in the canoe and began talking. Someone gave the canoe a jerk and he spilled into the water saying Never stand in a canoe! CONDOR WHITE WATER TRIPS Heavy rains had raised the level of the Housa- tanic when JOHN DE ROSA, MIKE FASS, MIKE BLUMS IEIN, RICH ROSENBERG, JEFF KAT- ZEN, PETE BARG, LARRY SHAPIRO, ALLAN KLEBAN, STAN MARCUS and CHIP GLIED- MAN led by Counselors Archie Tracy and Brian Kassenbrock dared the roaring waters. Setting out from Cornwall, the campers immediately took on the famous Dead Man's Chute under Cornwall Bridge. PETE BARG and JEFF KATZEN reaped their reward by capsizing as they tried to spill MIKE FASS and MIKE BLUMSTEIN. Archie Tracy tipped and as Brian Kassenbrock turned and laughed, he too tipped. Archie laughed the loudest. RICH ROSENBERG and LARRY SHAPIRO won the no-tip award and ALLAN KLEBAN and STAN MARCUS the canoe-on-the-rocks award for getting caught ten times. The run ended in Kent. On the second CONDOR trip JAMIE SATURN, MIKE MOORIN, PETE ZAHN, LARRY SPIN- NER, LARRY KLITZMAN, JOHN ROSS, SCOTT COOPER, DAVE WINSTON, JON SENDOR and DANNY GLICKENHAUS, led by Counselors Joe Gugino and Brian Kassenbrock, set their canoes in the water several miles above Cornwall. The first part of the cruise was very peaceful as the canoeists paddled down mild rapids. After Cornwall Bridge Joe Gugino and LARRY SPIN- NER tipped. Both Joe, Larry and the canoe were recovered with only slight damage. The trip continued through a series of boils and rocky runs but this group had the distinction of fewest spills. When we left the water at Kent, we were all arm weary, but satisfied that we too had run the rapids.

SAILING Despite the occasional rainy day, the sailing dock was once again one of the most popular and busy areas in camp. In response to demand, the sailing program was enlarged and every camper from SPARROW to DODO had an opportunity to sail 3 or 4 times a week. A racing program was started with ALLAN KLEBAN, DANNY GLICKEN- HAUS, CHIP GLIEDMAN and JEFF KATZEN showing promise. The fleet was augmented by the addition of a new 2-sail Dyer Dhow and by restoring fby popular de- mandb the 3 Cape Cod dinghies. Ken-Mont now has 17 sailboats: 6 Sailfish, 3 Cape Cods and 8 Dyer Dhows. The Dyer Dhows are sloop-rigged and are equipped with spinnakers. To run the enlarged sailing program, the staif was increased to three full-time members-Dan, John and Kris who were intermittently assisted by RICK SATURN. The standard of Ken-Mont sailing was im- proved this year by more instruction and by insti- tuting two tests: the Crew test and the Skipper test . The Crew test comprised basic boat handling, nomenclature and Marlinspike seamanship. The Skipper test was considerably more advanced. After passing the Crew tests the boys were able to sail sailiishes. A list of boys to achieve Crew or Skipper rating is below. PETER SMALL was the first boy to pass the crew test as well as the only boy to pass the skipper test. KEITH HARTLEY of the Robins was, at 9 years of age, the youngest to pass the crew test. Those who passed also received Red Cross Small Craft Safety patches.

WATER-SKIING Here at Ken-Mont, the ski season was some- what abridged by the wrath of the raingod. Although the rain interrupted our activities, we nevertheless found ample time for all phases of our operations. Results of individual instruction proved satisfying to both the campers and the instructors alike. Dreams turned into reality as campers earned National Waterski Association ratings from be- ginner to expert. On the dock, working hand in hand with the instructors were Dodo GARY KRUGMAN and MIKE FASS, a Condor, the two top skiers. Not to be overlooked are ROBERT FISH and ANDY SMALL, the best Hawk and Robin skiers re- spectively. Highlights of the 1969 ski season were: Parentis Day, where the individual campers would demon- strate their acquired skills before cameras held by beaming parents, the wit of J im Hagen, the antics of the phantom boat sinker and the culmination of the year, Color War competition. From beginner to expert, KEN-MONT's ranks were filled with enthusiastic skiers. The enjoyment of this sport was instilled in campers both old and new. The ski crew, which hailed from both North and South, was thoroughly entertained by the humorous antics as well as the tremendous skiing performed by campers while skimming across KEN- MONT's beautiful North Spectacle Lake. By sum- mer's end, nearly every boy was able to ski, and many succeeded in passing tests of the National Waterski Association. 70 Q 6, 5 Z' 6 52 ' lssncmwi .....

Our diverse and far ranging camping expeditions found each group in a different and exciting area. Donlt ever sell the American boy short! The spirit of adventure and adaptibility to rough environment still is part of our make up. Every boy in camp had the opportunity to pitch a tent, build a fire, cook, eat raw or burned food, clean a messkit, test his endurance on a hike, avoid C25 poison ivy, sleep in his clothes, listen to a scarry ghost story, count the billion stars at night . . . and back at camp, spend hours removing the accumu- lated dirt! A Lower camp tripping again was led by our rugged elder statesmen, that premier cook of home fries the morning after, Elderberry J ack Turek. The Bluejays had their introduction to poineer- ing by sleeping out at the Pine Point camp site, a dense hemlock forest along the lake not far from the saildock. Every little man had his chores-tent pitching, wood gathering and clean up, but it seems we spent most of our time eating Jackis delicious cooking. Campfire and story time at night were great and when we crawled into our sleeping bags. the bed of pine needles felt like a down mattress CD Jerry cooked our breakfast in the morning and we can still smell the bacon sizzling! .. ::E.'-ter.. :::..'::e:- '--'D f--f- ..........w,..... . . The Sparrows, .our eight year old boys, braved the wilds of Mohawk Forest, again with Jack blaz- ing the way. This was their first experience away from camp and Jack tells us they were the most rugged Sparrow group ever. One thing certain- they ate more food than any group of 8 year old boys ever did! - The Robins also camped at Mohawk State Forest although their trip was a far more rugged one. The highlight was a hike through famous Black Spruce Bog. One of the few specimen of its kind in the country, the Bog was gouged out by the last great glaciers, some 16,000 years ago. The soft muck is some 60 feet deep and it never com- pletely freezes in spite of 300 below zero winter tempe-ratures. There is all types of vegetation grow ing in it, even semi-tropical varieties. Although the Bog has undoubtedly claimed hundreds of animal lives over the centuries, the Rangers have laid a boardwalk over the bog and we were able to closely observe the phenomena. The Falcons, on their first three day campout ever, explored the wilds of Pittsfield State Forest in Western Massachusetts. Now for the first time, the boys put to a test the woodsmanship they had learned. Berry Pond, the climb over Berry Mountain and the evening trip to town were memorable. The old menn of lower camp, the Cardinals camped out for three days atop the highest point in the state of Massachussetts, Mt. Greylock. The high point of the trip was the 4 mile hike to the peak over a torturous mountain trail. Once up, we had a great lunch at Bascom Ski Lodge and then to the slippery descent. We, too, had a night on the town that added to the fun of the camp-out. The Condors and Eagles each had their own three day camping trip to Cape Cod. With tents pitched just behind the dunes along the Atlantic Highlands fjust below Provincetownj the trip again proved to be one of the summer's highlights. No other camp- out seems to generate quite as much excitement! Our head counselors, Jim Charlton and Ron Bouchier each headed a trip and their reports on return can be summed up in one word . . . FANTASTIC! The last big trip of the season was the Hawk's oft-delayed camp-out on the shores of Long Island Sound near Mystic. With a mile wide beach just in front of their campsite and perfect weather to com- plement the location, our boys had a great time. On the third day, arrangements were set by Lloyd for the boys to have a tour of the Coast Guard Aca- demy and a trip on a C G Cutter through New Lon don harbor' After buying out the Ships Store at the Academy we rode home in style in a pullman bus Th1S was a first time trip for Ken Mont and it will now become a fixture for future Hawks The 1969 pioneering work at Ken Mont 1n spite of the weather was varied and most successful A new pioneering area was established in the vicinity of the campfire arch This new area 1S farther from the main campus which gives the campers a greater l f .2 R 5,5 'S 'A g KEN-MONT HAWKS AT THE U.

H hitches, 15 half hitches, 20 overhand knots, 4 square lashings, 4 Fisher knots, 1 sheer lashing, 1 diagonal lashing, 1 Astmann knot, 1 Pravder knot and 2 Vershel splices. Before work on the bridge could be started a crew of EAGLES and DODOS had to clear an area of thickly wooded ground. Among those who worked on this clearing project were MATTHEW ROSS and RICK SATURN. During the las-t few weeks of camp the bridge provided hours of enjoyment to campers of all ages. A few campers tried their skill at crossing the bridge while being timed. Some managed to cross in less than 20 seconds Cquite a featj. Those who accomplished this were BRYAN EGGERT C16 secondsj, STEVE SABLOSKY C17 seeondsj, MIKE FEDDER C17 secondsj, SCOTT TURKEL C18 secondsj-all of these, Cardinals,-and MIKE MALAMUT C18 secondsj of the Robins. Overall, the rain did not dampen the fun that campers had this summer in Pioneering. 1 NATURAL SCIENCES Under the leadership of a man who has become a Ken-Mont institution, Jack Slim Turek, Ken- Mont's Nature and Science program continued to be a favorite activity for many boys. Jack, a biology teacher for thirty years, offered our campers the most far reaching science program in private camp- ing. In turn, this has developed a great interest and has unquestionably helped our boys in their formal education. . The Nature Building, as always, was stocked with hundreds of interesting specimen, both live and pre- served. Charts, pictures, instruments, a nature library plus Jack's wonderful manner with our boys com- pleted the picture. We had our finest zoo yet, consist- ing of some animals .T ack had kept over the winter back in Ohio, as well as some new specimen, trapped in the Berkshires. Among the inhabitants of Jack's zoo were a red fox, a fawn, a po-rcupine, a fer- ret, a great-horned owl, and amherst phe-asant and a golden pheasant, a de-scented skunk Cnamed '6My Sin J a mother opposum with five babies in her pouch, a groundhog Elmer , the talking crow Che'd call when hungry, Hey you, hey you J, a pair of raccoons, a huge 40 lb. snapping turtle, snakes, lizards, efts and a pet trained five foot black snake. JONNY ALBIN, only a Bluejay, excelled in the study of animals. RICH FEINSTEIN was Jack's right hand man in the care and feeding of the zoo denizens. Ken-Mont has gone a long way in the field of Science since the program was inaugurated many years ago. What used to be Nature Study has been organized into a real Science program includ- ing botany, zoology, ornithology, reptile study, as- tronomy, and genetics. KEITH ROSENFELD was an outstanding student in astronomy. He even took some fine pictures of the moon. Besides. astronomy, the first part of the summer was devoted to Ex- ploring Space . Jack felt that Ken-Mont Science would be remiss if he didn't emphasize 4'Space Travel and 'LEarth in Space . For three weeks the science classes learned about space and its com- plexity. The Sea of Tranquility near Moltke where our astronauts touched down on the moon and walked were studied. The boys were permitted to stay up and witness the greatest feat of man in our generation, The Walk on the Moon . A very interesting study was made to prove Gregor Mendel's law of heredity. I ack mated a male albino mouse with a wild brown deer female -mouse. Six babies were born. With further experimentation we bred a pair of second generation mice and found that W, of the babies were white and Mi, of them brown. This proves Mendel's law of heredity which states that dark is a dominant gene and white is a . .......:1 Q4- '-.+.5.g ,4 35 ggguuaguuuas-uAAA:L..J: nz.. ,, ,. ..., ..-,..,., ...l.,......-,.,.,.....,.,,.L:-..,.:.p-:...a...... ...,L1g:.1.,...1.:::.,.gg1.,:.:.-,::1.5- : L . .....1'..:::::1:::.:.g:L.g:1gr:1,:gg,g-:1g..:r::::1i:11::gg.L.:LLL:L.

This holds true with human beings. When one parent has blue eyes and the other brown, most of their children will have brown eyes. Nature hikes about camp and in adjacent forests gave us the opportunity to collect specimen and to observe the habitat and feeding habits of insects, reptiles, birds and animals. The nature work in the lodge covered the anatomy of the vertebrate and invertebrate. We also learned the process of reproduction and photo syn- thesis in plants. Ornithology classes were very popular with the Sparrows. On nature hikes, we observed and listened to many birds. Among those we- identified were the Cheewink, Baltimore Oreole, Sparrow, Song Spar- row, Cedar Wax Wing, Gold Finch, Cat Bird, Car- dinal, Red Wing Black Bird, Barn Swallow, King Bird Flicker, Oven Bird and the Wood Thrush who is the East's lovliest song bird. Dissecting of reptiles and mammals were the most popular experiments in our biology program. Muscles, nerves, organs and tissue were studied, identified and preserved. We even learned to count the eggs in the Fallopean tubes of a female frog! There seems to be no limit to the growth of in- terest by our boys in the science program. We live in an era of scientific development, and whether our science program helps a boy in school, toward a future profession or just for hobby interest, we feel the effort is extremely worthwhile. 107 i eh, V 5, A ,V ,fggT !T1ifTi i, , T ,fe, , - 1' fa- ....-..N ..........

Even the rainy spell in mid summer could not dampen our enthusiasm. Once again, Two Bulls-sometimes known as Dwayne Reeves-sat in the Chief's wiki-up. Dwayne has lived with and around Indians all his life. During his childhood, Dwayne was with the Comanche and Kiowa tribes, but his knowledge of tribal culture extends to the Kierea Apache, Wichita, Osage, Pawnee, Caddo and Cheyenne tribes. Two Bulls was greatly aided this year by Fred Carrington, one of our waterfront staff, who is a national champion Indian Dancer. With dazzling, authentic costumes, and a variety of exciting, vigorous dances, Fred was the highlight of all of our campfires. His Fire Dance will never be forgotten! , There were also many skilled dancers among our braves. MATTY ZEPNICK, SCOTT T URKEL and DANNY SABLOSKY were excellent in the most difiicult hoop dance. Each boy performed in a costume of his own making-breechclout, head band and various dancing leg bands. The Robins took over the dancing at an August campfire with a fine version of the fluffy dance. The boys dancing were FRANK LAUREDA, FRED MEYERS, MARK HURST, DAN SABLOSKY and BART SCHNEIDERMAN. A group of SPARROWS performed the Sioux Buffalo dance. They were STEVE SENDAR, J ON BLANC, JON SCHAFFZIN, MIKE STREIT, KEITH GRUMER, SPENCER MERINOFF and MIKE KREITMAN. As usual, craft work was an important part of the Indian Lore program. The boys made articles to be used with Indian costumes such as breechclouts, mocassins, headdresses, and necklaces. Mocassins were a big thing with all. BRUCE LADEN Hnished the first pair. Other oustanding mocassin makers were KENNY LIGHT, ROBERT NORDEN, STEVE SENDAR, JONNY BLANC, JON SCHAFFZIN, and MARK VERSHEL. This year, many boys decorated their mocassins with beadwork. Also many put fringes on their mocas- sins. Beaded necklaces were also popular with both campers and counselors. LARRY POMER was a leader in doing bead work. The best examples of Western belts were designed by MARK SECKLER, RICHARD VERSHEL, KENNY LIGHT, and MIKE WISCHE. ROCKY was the first boy to com- plete a belt this past season and as a reward was given the honor of lighting the next camp fire. ROBERT KRIEGER and ROBERT WEISBEIN finished drums which were used around the camp- fire. ROBERT WEISBEIN played the drums for a number of Indian dances at the campfire programs. ROBERT KRIEGER and MARTY SATURN painted the new teepee that graced the Indian Lore area. They used designs from the Blackfeet Indians and the teepee looked most authentic. All the Bluejays made head bands, belt sets and necklaces-all in all, a successful year in Indian Lore. We learned about the customs, traditions, dances, games and history of American Indians.

With great performances turned in by DOUG MAHLER, JON GOLD- WATER and MARTY SHUVALL a good time was had by all. TONY ASTMANN as The Old Maid completely knocked out the viewers. BOB KRAKOWER really socked it to them and all of Bunk 4 gave the news across the nation 'cause they had the information. MICHAEL WISCHE rounded out this cast of no squares allowed . A tenderly funny comedy followed the following week. Never Too Late brought back two of KEN- MONT's favorite actors, BOB REICHER and MICHAEL ROSEN, a combination guaranteed to give great performances. As the middle-aged wife who discovers she's going to be a mother, BOB REICHER delighted the audience. Not so delighted mzv- - ---f 'iff at the news was the husband, MICHAEL ROSEN. Friends and family . . . this play pointed out that family isn't the same as friends . . . tried to help the expectant couple with unexpected complications. DREW HOLDER as Kate, the daughter of the half- happy couple was devastating in his portrayal of today's youth. As the helpful next door neighbor, KEN KUNIN more than qualified as a good actor. Speaking of good actors, MICHAEL FASS was excellent as the family doctor . . . and friend. GARY STARR, KEITH ROSENFELD, and BRIAN EGGERT lent their presence to f'Incident . Rehearsals of this production immediately forecast powerful portrayals and characterizations. The story evolves around prejudice and discrimination and how senseless it can be. Such dramatically fine characterizations placed many of the actors in In- cident in nomination for Silver Spoon Awards. SILVER SPOON AWARDS MICHAEL J.

Our activities were many and varied this year so as to interest all the age levels and abilities of our campers. J im Donald, our Industrial Arts teacher was out- standing in directing the program. Don Stevens assisted with a very creative fine arts program. Most of his energy was devoted to motivating the Blue Jays and Sparrows to express themselves in many mediums. Colorful paper masks and puppets seemed to catch the fancy of all the young with J ONNY OSTRAU, JIMMY FEIN, JON ROGER, LEWIS BORINSKY, FRANK FINK, DAVID KATZ and STEVE SIEGEL presenting very original designs. Spatter painting and stenciling were two other activities in which our Blue Jays and Sparrows spent much of their time creating many intere-sting pat- terns of different shapes, sizes and colors. DOUG KAHN, JEFF KENT, BOB ARKIN, GREGG STONE, JON SILVER, JIM BERNSTEIN, MITCH SCHWARTZ, MIKE ZWILLMAN and TODD PILCH did very fine workin this area. But the most popular activity of our two junior groups was copper tooling. Designs were created or traced onto the thin copper foil by the boys, colored and then framed for hanging. MIKE ROSEN- FELD, BARRY AUGUS, J ONNY ALBIN, JEFF SCHLEIN, TODD LEVINE, RICH DOUGLASS and DAVID SCHARF made some line designs to take home. Another activity the Blue Jays enjoyed was con- structing attractive woodworking projects. They constructed ornamental wheelbarrows and old time Water pumps and horse troughs. Although the younger campers had great interest in these activities-plus many others, every age camper had the opportunity to work in all of these areas. For boys from the Robins to the Dodos, a much wider seletcion of activities were available. With the ex-ception of our plastic models, copper enameling was the most active area in our department. Camp- ers made tie tacks, cuff links, earrings, necklaces, decorative pins, colorful ashtrays and bowls and many other items. Some of our youngsters were mailing their work to their friends. They were very proud of the design and color combination they had created. BRAD ARKIN, DAVID BERN- STEIN, MIKE MALAMUT, KEVIN KRICH, PETER FASS, BILLY WEISS, LORNE GOD- NICK, DAVID ADELSON, STEVE FASS, ALAN HARMON, PHIL LANDAU and SCOT LE BOLT were all very involved in this activity. Mark Klein led a very energetic program of model rocket building. Some of the models built were the Scout, the X-Ray, the Alpha, Big Bertha, the V-2 and the Corporal. Many intere-sting shows were put on with the construction of these rocket models and the entire camp was thrilled to observe many successful launchings. This is one activity that needed no motivating or push to get the campers participating. It was a natural interest for our youth of today. Some of our rocket builders were DAVID SIGNET, PETER ENGEL, SCOTT SMALL, MARC STARR, ROBERT COVEN, BRADLEY ARKIN, KEITH HARTLEY, KEVIN KRICH, JON ROSEN, STEPHEN GALLANT, MARK SECKLER, MICHAEL ZWILLMAN, BRUCE LADEN and BRIAN STERLING. HO And then there are the plastic models! Practically all campers were involved in the construction of plastic ships and cars this year. Each model was assembled and painted by the boy to his own liking and, rest assured, there were some very exotic color combinations on many of them. A new area in Arts and Crafts was introduced this year to the older campers. This was acid etching in aluminum. Here the artist would paint a design on a polished piece of aluminum, scallop the edges, pour acid into the aluminum to etch the design into it and finally remove the painted design. Numerous trays of different sizes and design were made this year and the work proved to be quite satisfactory. SCOTT SMALL, MARK VERSHEL and MARC STARR made very line de-signs on their trays. For the older boys, we had balsa model airplanes to construct, paint and ily. Much of this work is time consuming and the builder needed to have some skill in basic woodworking. Above all, he must have patience in his work. Once again our airplane build- ers were quite successful in assembling and painting their models. Some of our model builders were JONATHAN SENDOR, STEPHEN GALLANT. DAVID DOUGLASS, CLIFF STERLING, SHEL- DON KIVELL, MARK SHAPIRO, PETER SMALL, BRYAN BLOOM and PAUL LOCKE. Four outstandingly creative pieces of model building were completed this year. JOSH DOUG- LASS and CLIFF STREIT spent a great deal of time and thought by each designing and construct- ing models of two modern homes for possible actual construction in the future. Their designs were very original and quite admired by the campers. Also, TONY ASTMANN and GREGG RUBIN spent their creative energies into designing and construct- ing two model sail boats. It would be very interest- ing to sail these boats to see how truly seaworthy they would prove to be. From all points of view their designs seem to be very sound and quite seaworthy. It was a very busy and active summer for both the Arts and Crafts personnel as well as the artists . All felt a great sense of accompishment. AMATEUR RADIO PROGRAM The radio program this year at Ken Mont was qtute successful Any camper could use the radio shack and lt was never empty The major attrac tion was KAMP Ken Monts own broadcasting station Here campers learned to operate the con trols and use a real broadcastmg station wlnch played the top hits of the year The DJ s were also the Greatest names like GOLDBERG MINDICH VERSHEL and LIGHT just to mention a few Almost as popular as KAMP the ham radio station permitted campers to hear people from all over the world speaking and it allowed campers to speak to hams from all over the world No station 1S complete without mentionmg some of the people who made it what it 1S the campers who learned enough electromcs to enable them to operate all the equipment 1n the shack JEFF MINDICH and BRUCE LADEN were two CX perts this year The camp 1S permitted to ISSUC amateur radio licenses and MARK FEINBERG earned his Novice Class Amateur radio license wluch will enable him to speak to hams all over the world on his own A third activity at the ham shack was building kits All campers had the opportunity to build kits such as wireless microphone transmitters two tran sister AM receivers one tube radio receivers and oscillators One camper GARY STARR suc ceeded m btuldmg a short wave radio under the direction of the mstructor Mel Pershan One thing common to all three activities was fun Each camper enjoyed the radio program to the fullest extent When campers were not learning some skill which will be important when they get older they were involved in fun filled times with M1n1vac 601 which beat most campers 1n t1c tac toe Mmivac 601 is a model computer which funct1ons like an IBM computer but 1S safer to use and was designed for instructional purposes .

The EAGLES were the ucontractorsl' of the Carnival but each bunk had the responsibility of planning, designing, scrounging material and staffing their own booth. We finally came up with a genuine Carny Midway. Carnival 1969 was the biggest and best Carnival ever held at KEN-MONT. There were new games and more attractions than ever before and the co- chairmen Frank Greenberg and Marc Stern with the aid of Ron Bouchier and the EAGLES and DODOS, assembled a fantastic Midway that was enjoyed by all on Sunday afternoon. As was the case all summer the weather was a question, but on Carnival Sunday it was a beautiful, hot day. All was in readiness by one o'clock in the afternoon-the booths had all been decorated, prizes distributed and refreshments brought out. At two o'clock the Carnival opened and the boys started to really enjoy themselves and with the arrival of the girls from KEN-WOOD the Carnival was soon going full blast. Everyone enjoyed circus ,music in the background while they made their rounds of the booths that ranged from Shave the Balloonn to Dart the Salamin. ' This year there we-re two main attractions that had long lines around them all afternoon. The DODO's Dunk the Counselor where campers en- joyed seeing their favorite counselors plus Jerry and Lloyd take a plunge into the tank of water, was popular again. . A new attraction at this year's Carnival was the EAGLE Car Smashw, where every camper could take three swings at an old car Cwhich had all of the glass removedj with either a twelve pound sledge hammer or a small hammer depending on the camper's size. This really gave the- campers a chance to use up their destructive feelings and it has the largest line of all of the booths. A highlight enjoyed by all was the pie eating contest, this year featuring blueberry pies. The winner in the lower camp was GARY STARR and the winner in the upper camp was MATT ROSS who deposed defending champion PETER IACO- VELLI. Special recognition went to JIM FEIN, the youngest competitor, for the great job he did con- suming an entire pie! For their winning efforts the Champs received . . . you guessed it-blueberry pies. DAVID YOUNG of Miami Beach won the jelly bean count with a guess of 1750 and received all the jelly beans as his prize. Finishing up the afternoon after some musical entertainment by our counselors, Lloyd drew the winning raffle tickets for three huge cakes baked by George, our excellent baker. At four-thirty the Carnival was struck and he Midway reve-rted to the Soccer pitch. The boys returned at 6 P.M. for a delicious, sizzling charcoal barbecue consisting of steak, french fries, tomatoes, rolls plus cake, apple juice and milk. Everyone ate their fill and then relaxed. Next year's Carnival will have to go far to even match Carnival 1969, but when we return next summer let's see if we can' have a bigger and better Carnival again. --1.-.-.........3,,,,, . ... 9' 2!31?T '2Z?PFn1'1v'-i - --.--N - - e .,-....---'--1- Q-U M - - 4 . . , szrxr:-11-.:1r.::z:I, 4r' 'LiEE:E1:1x2:13-.rn ' I --:uf --- ' Z.. - - 3- X-5-' 1.:.i1L5Qi22-, 153::g5ggg5.:.5g5gg::g :4 1:-4:::::: 11'-iff--Q-41111-N -11:12:14.511 -- - -------.. ........-... -,. ....- -.. . . .., ... . ,,,, Zfii1'A1 .. -':----4H-:3??1?253::::::.-1::::::r::?EEE:-Ez.-EE B ll AND GRAM 1969 Preamble to The Blue and Gray Code. The annual Blue and Gray Contest at Ken-Mont is one designed to test the courage, spirit and ability of every boy at Camp. It is an event that fires the imagination and grips the soul, one that will bring out either the best or the worst in anyone con- nected with it. It if is to call forth only the best and highest responses, it must be conducted on a clean, sports- manlike basis. Captains, generals and participants must accept the code in spirit, and must at all times be willing to accept the ruling of the Boards Of Judges, and abide by them. Any other attitude leads to disorganization and chaos. While to win must always be the prime objective in Blue and Gray, victory by underhand methods or unsportsmanlike conduct is a disgrace. Generals and Captains must imbue their cohorts with a spirit of fair play, or the contest cannot be justified as right or good or ethical. If it is not these three things, it has no place at Ken-Mont and should be discontinued. Blue and Gray has in it the essence of heroic combat. All it needs is intelligent planning, inspired leadership and loyal, courageous performance. With those attributes, the annual color contest at Ken- Mont will be the traditional splendid climax to the camping season that we all desirev. ll3 ' The Break I saw the schedule in the office . . . it's starting on Saturday . . . it canit be Sunday because of campfire . . . one, two, three, four, we want color war! . . . a near riot in the dining room . . . im- patient . . . guessing . . . trying to stay awake at night-this might be it . . . Thursday was like too many days this past summer-some drizzle, a threat of clearing, but not the kind of evening likely to bring color war. What our men didn't know was that Two Bulls had been conducting a secret purification ceremony all day in his teepee so that he could implore the Rain Gods that night to quiet the heavens for the next week. Evidently, Dwayne is still in the favor of the ancient tribal gods, for the rain ceased after dinner and we had not a single drop fo-r eight days! Call to Quarters sounded and we trudged back to our bunks. Lights out, taps, and then quiet, but it was a restless quie-t. Upper camp tried to stir things up, but most of us were drifting off to sleep. Suddenly, the bunks shook to the reverberation of a series of aerial bomb blasts Cthat woke the coun- tryside for miles around we learned the next daylj. Grabbing robes and slippers if we could find them quickly, we flew from our bunks onto the campus. The cloudy sky was brightly lit by magnesium flare bombs and then colorful salutes. . Suddenly a huge anti-aircraft searchlight pierced the night and picked up hundreds of blue and gray balloons soaring aloft. As the light swung in an arc, a huge, sparkling WAR sign was observed hanging in the sky CActually it was held there by huge weather balloons filled with heliumb. As fire engine sirens wailed, we were held ' spellbound watching the break. Finally, we all raced back to Jim's shack to find out which team we were on! Preparation. There was feverish activity behind the scenes for many days preceding the break. Group leaders submitted suggested divisional splits, the lists were studied, adjusted and juggled by Jerry, Lloyd, Ron and Jim until at last we felt the final splits were as near even as possible. And then came an im- portant decision-our choice of Generals and their Colonels. Group Le-aders were not eligible since they were to be the Judges. However, the choice was obvious. Two outstanding high school physical education teachers were honored-Bob Curcio and Joe Gugino. Never have we had better leadership and direction! The choice of camper Captains was a little more difficult since we had a number of outstanding senior campers. However, we finally selected the Big O , OSCAR REICHER and MATT ROSS. With a toss of our traditional two-headed coin, selections were underway and the teams took shape-. The Competition If two words must be chosen to describe the 1969 Color War, they would be good sportsmanship . Every division, from Bluejay through Dodo, com- peted within their own group in every facet of camp- ing. Each boy had the opportunity to contribute to his team in the area of his own strength. Whether it was a Bluejay in kick ball, a Sparrow in nature study, a Robin in water-skiing, a Cardinal in the Apache relay, a Hawk in football and so on thru our entire program, every boy was a competitor and a contributor within the spirit of Color War. On Friday morning, the teams immediately locked horns. The Hawks began the excitement when the Blue football team upset the Gray in the final 30 seconds of the game, when BILLY SACK threw a touchdown pass to MIKE ROSEN who made a finger-tip grab in a crowd in the end-zone for a 14-6 win. The never-say-die Gray bounced back in the afternoon as their underdog Dodo-Eagle baseball team upset the Blue 2-1 behind the ,clutch pitching of LEE TUNIS. I At the end of the first day the Gray held a strong 246W-203W lead. The Condors got into the upset act on the second day as the Gray football team up-ended the Blue by the score 12-0' as JOHN ROSS intercepted two passes and ran both for TD's. The Gray Cardinal Basketball teams also showed their power winning their games. The Third Day included many important events. The Dodo-Eagle football game was a hard fought contest which ended in a 6-6 tie. The Gray team Condor basketball teams gave all-out efforts and swamped the Blue in both A and B games. LARRY SPINNER's rebounding and JOHN ROSS, shoot- ing are both worthy of note as the A team won by 23. In the Hawk baseball game BOBBY MANDEL out-pitched BILLY SACK to give the Gray a 1-0 victory. In the afternoon the Hawks Gray basketball - ----- - .i .. -V V - ..--.A -'- - . . fu-fn:-1 -- -:.1:::'::- :el:i:LF -'f f ' 'jug' -:Q ' '---ra. x zz-'xii-.:i ' ' ' -,.

In the A game the shooting of MANDEL and CO. plus the over-all height were too much for the Blues' hustling five who managed to close the gap to one point before losing by two. The power of the Gray basketball teams was balanced by that of the Blue CCardinalJ football teams as they earned an A and B sweep of the Gray. The Blues' tough defense supplied a safety and a TD via a pass interception to beat the Gray 8-0 in the A game. BOBBY KRIEGER led the B team to victory' with his passing and timely running. On the third evening the Blues' skit entitled The Arc was judged better than the Grays' Hair . I EFF ROSE starred for the Blue. At the end of the 3rd day the Grays' lead had mounted to 72 points. This margin would have been ever greater had .it not been for the Blue CFalconsD baseball team which defeated the Gray behind the excellent pitching of BRYAN BLOOM. The Blue made a valiant come-back effort on the morning of the 4th day, cutting the margin to just ll points. Their Dodo-Eagle basketball team romped Cby 50 pointsj. Meanwhile the Condors won a tough soccer game in overtime on a goal by MIKE MOORIN. The Cardinals baseball team beat the Gray behind the fine pitching of MIKE ROSEN and the hitting of LOREN KLEINMAN. However the Gray refused to say die as they ran away with the afternoon waterfront activities. The Gray swept all the War Canoe races and all the- surf- board doubles. The Blues' only ray of sunshine was the Falcon football team who earned a big win during the afternoon session. The Blue again fought back to make up some points on the song fest so that going into the last day the score was Gray 816, Blue 804! The Blue Dodo-Eagle soccer team dominated the Gray to win 2-0 and raise the Blues' hopes. However, after their Condor baseball team built a 5-l lead, the Gray made a great come-back to win 6-5. Color War ended with the one-inning softball game in which the Blue scored 7 runs in the top half of the inning only to see their effort go for naught when the Gray pushed across their second run. CThis event splits 50 points proportionately based on runs scored and Blue barely fell short of pulling the biggest upset of the decadeb. The final taly had Joe Gugino's Gray team out- pointing Bob Curcio's Blues 923W to 919W in one of the closest final scores ever!

Rather, it was the young man who displayed qualities of positive leadership, who showed a proper regard for the rights of others, and who understood the true meaning of the word uservicei' that made him eligible for special recog- nition. Sportsmanship was weighed more heavily than athletic prowess. The Ken-Mont Boy of the Year Trophy was awarded to a young man who best exemplified the ideals of our camp, and whose contribution meant much to every camper. He was an excellent athlete Calthough not outstanding in every sportb, a real competitor, a leader every boy looked up to, con- siderate of others, and most important, a whole- some example to every younger boy at Ken-Mont. For the first time in Ken-Montis history, our Boy of the Year had earned the designation in every group during his camping career. I L 1969 Boy of the Year OSCAR REICHER I .
