GOLF l Golf always has its little group of devotees, and this year they received a special thrill. A special golf hike was organ- ized, which gave our players a whole afternoon on a nine hole ff J course at Schroon. Although our Rondackians scored no birdies ' ff ',,'r J and broke no par they had a grand time. f For the tournament competitions there was a loyal gallery y composed of Connie Reichbach and Lorinne Alpert. We there- 'gffi fi fore give you their own eye-witness report: ' Jn A The golf season was closed by the well played match M between Lil Bader and Frankie Block. The weather man was nL,,:g kind and a perfect day was provided for the match. From the rf moment the first ball was driven to the moment the last ball was sunk, the 'gallery' was kept in a dither. Lil played in consistently good form and Frankie was not far behind in the quality of her game. Lil ended the contest in a blaze of glory, but Frankie, too, had her share of victory, for she was later triumphant in the putting contest. ln the Sub-Senior group, Julie Doelid and Ruth Litt competed. Although Julie's victory was indeed decisive she was hard pressed by Ruth throughout the tournament. l-lermine Messinger also distinguished herself in the Sub-Senior group by annexing the putting pin. Whatever the results of the competition may have been, however, most of our girls left the golf course this summer with a definite feeling of accomplish- ment. TRACK The Saturday Lawn Parties which our councillors referred to were the regular track meets-our Weekly Olympiads. The events were varied enough to reveal all hidden talents, and included thirty-second goals, at which l-Iarriette Slote excelled: running bases, in which Beverly Schnitzer and Clarice Zinaman set some records: baseball throws, where Jeanne Tannenbaum still reigned supreme: and basketball throws, in which Edna Kadin and Beverly were especially good. We quote from the notes made by our track reporter, Frankie Richman: 4'There goes Muriel Wolfsie. Boy, can that girl run! What? Imagine! she's mad because she ran in 12 seconds instead of ll M! fl run in 14 and l think l'm good!j Run, Carol, run-she's at first!-she's at second!-and she's right down on the ground! Did it hurt, Carol? All ready, Tommy, throw the ball! There, right under the bunk! Who wants to crawl for it and start a new track event? All ready now for the Varsity Meet. Don't sit on the grass. Baseball throw. Basketball throw. Relay and Dash for each group. Well, let's take a look at the results: Senior Dash .............. ..........,.... J ean Field Sub-Senior Dash ........ .........

They doff their regalia for occasion, because no good Indian goes swimming with headbands and blankets. It just ff isn't done! Instead of gold, red and blue plumes, up-to-the- minute tribesmen don green, red, blue, yellow and white caps, I and, as Big-Water-Chief gives Old Indian Signal Ctranslation L-.7 All ln D Rondack redskins plunge in with wild war whoops, sending Old Man Schroon into gasps of spray. A heap big busy hour. Elder-Councillor-Chieftains stand by in green tribal boats instructing young wild Indians in water, Much-Smilum-Tommy throwing balls. Heap-Big-Divers, like Julia Doelid, Bobbie Selverne, Helen Lewis and Connie Gottlieb, pop on and off Blue Cap Float: Heap-Little-Divers Selene Davidson. Elaine Davidson and Arline Priedlander do same on Red Cap. All sorts of prehistoric animals from great forests around usilike rubber swans and horsesljoin little papooses in play. Great Sun-God, smiling benignly down, sees sparkling water, gleam- ing bronzed skins, color bobbing merrily about, and happiness of healthy young Indians at play. BOATING Of all tribes that have settled on the shores of A Schroon, none love its waters more than our own: In the evening, as the lake still holds the light of setting sun, ' - gg our braves take to boats and canoes. Time appears to stand still as the Rondack redskins paddle gently over L' ,Z Schroon Lake, even as older Indians once rode their birch lllll' lll I i www lui 'Mil b ark ca n oes. ' Our more experienced water-warriors delight in g Ii,-,V I gunneling, as Muriel Wolfsie or Julia Doelid can tell you, f X A '- . . . . while canoeists like L11 Bader and Jeanne Tannenbaum ' demonstrate good teamwork in paddling. For our ' 11521, Q Senior braves the war canoes are fun galore. Whether they practice for future meets or race in friendly compe- tition, captained by Beverly Schnitzer and Harriette Slote, our paddlers love these long green canoes. Most amazing of all is the skill of our little papooses. Selene, Elaine and Gloria have already passed canoe tests that would daunt older boaters, While Mimi and Lucille, respective ICIVC and six-year-old wonders, are virtual toilers ofthe sea when you get 'em in a row boat. Summing up our summer's progress on Schroon Lake, we hail our tribes'- men's skill with a hearty How, How!
