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!
