Many new performers trod the boards, giv- ing the old place a new, and very welcome touch. Holiday Hoot saw quite a number of per- formers making their debuts. There were CHIP GLIEDMAN, DAVID WINSTON, ALAN DON- NENFELD and EZRA MERSEY. Spider Islandj' one of the scariest and eeriest productions ever, was Ken-Mont's second produc- tion . . . offering a heart thumping shock almost every second. Was Daniel M-ay really dead?- Was that his ghost wailing in the attic? --A truly great cast gave their all ,... some even their lives. PAUL LOCKE, JEFF ROSE, ARNIE ROWAN, TOM COHEN, BILL COHEN, and JON BROWN gave excellent performances. Direct from the television screen to the Ken- Mont stage came the next smash-hit Get Sm-art , . . . a show everybody loved. MICHAEL BLUM- STEIN as Maxwell Smart, BOBBY REICHER as Agent 99, MIKE ROSEN as Princess Ingrid, PAUL SILVERMAN as the Chief, MIKE FASS as Agent 44, DAVE DOUGLASS -as Mr. Big, BOBBY ENTIN -as Mr. Fortune Cookie and STAN MAR- CUS as the Professor-a truly great bunch of actors. Get Smart will -always be talked about as one of Ken-Montis good productions, thanks -also to the performances of JEFF DANIELS and BRAD GOLDBERG. Look Who's Here presented variety perfOI'II1CfS to the Ken-Mont audience. EVAN SCHWARTZ- MAN played a dazzling medley from Fiddler O13 the Roof? The Cardinals sang the songs of Oliver and Bill Villano and JON BROWN dazzled .the spectators with their terpsichory. A good everung! Camp Run-amuck,s cast pGI'feCt1Y Comph' mented ia well-written script. JOHN ROSS, LARRY KLITZMAN, STACEY SIIVION, RICH EISEN- BERG, SCOTT COOPER, TODD ARNOW and ANDY LIEBMAN were simply magnificent in a musical comedy with a touch of seriousness. Camp Runamuck had the boys laughing one minute and holding back a tear the next. The audience that cheered was the one who watched The Mouse That Roared . STEVE DANIELS as Tully Bascom guided us through the Duchy of Fenwick, that mystical, magical little vil- lage halfway between here and there. MARTIN SILVERMAN, NEIL GARDNER, BRAD BRONK, MARTY WHELAN and STEVE TAFT comprised this clever group of actors. The scenery for The Mouse That Roared was excellent as was the scenery for all of the Ken-Mont Playhouse pro- ductions this season. l A SCENE FROM SPIDER ISLAND - - - --1 - -1-:asa-.1-sm:E:af.111fi...'- -- u:-.:i+1:e'-1-.-f-wr: f.::Ef ,g if -. f' - J ---- 1ffff-f'-fm Pi-L ' 'r e-----.-1:.

Some boys learned to identify 100 specimens! The drendology exhibit on Parents Day was prepared entirely by boys in the Robin Division. New programs and new interests were developed this year for many of our future scientists. I ack is the holder of a Taxidermy Diploma, and our Fal- cons received a ine training in this exacting art. Several animals were used in the demonstrations. However, the most interesting work was done mounting a Common Eastern bat. It now has been added to our large collection of mounted specimen. We also studied the anatomy of the bat before mounting. The bat's eyes, the size of the head of a straight pin were carefully preserved as were the kidneys, heart, lungs and brains. The entire tail bone was skillfully removed with a needle-fine tip. We also discussed the bat's whistle signal which gave us the knowledge for radar. The outstanding taxidermists were RICH FINDLER, RICKY OB- LETZ, HOWDY NATHEL, RICK EAGLE, BOB GIMBEL, KEN KUNIN and RICH WEIL. The Cardinals were immersed in dissection in our Biology Department. The boys caught the frogs we worked with, and after quickly putting the amphibians to sleep, we studied the muscles, nerves, organs and breathing spores of the skin. The boys discovered the ovaries and eggs within the female. Testes were fOL111C1 21tf2lChSC1 to U16 backbone of the male. One female had over 300 eggs by count in her Fallopean tubes! America's future biologists will include LARRY KLITZ- MAN, JOHN ROSS, STACEY SIMON and MATT DINNERSTEIN. Ornithology classes were very popular with the Sparrows. On nature hikes, we observed and lis- tened to many birds. Among those we identified were the Cheewink, Baltimore Oriole, Sparrow, Song Sparrow, Cedar Wax Wing, Gold Finch, Cat Bird, Cardinal, Red Wing Black Bird, Barn Swal- low, King Bird Flicker, Oven Bird and the Wood Thrush who is the Eas-t's loveliest song bird. Ken-Mont boasts about its splendid zoo, and rightfully so! Not only did it give boys a chance to observe animals, but more important, a chance to care for animals. We hand-tamed Peppy , our red fox. We watched the birth of baby rabbits and learned first hand how animals and humans 'come into the world. There seems to be no limit to the growth of interest 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. il -' at 1 I . - X at t Q Q :A 'A Q ' f lip 5 ' it X Q! s f f W, W gif X- l J ' I Y 47 XXC .. -1 ,f if gi fll -A '- , - .. y v' ' Q - ., M QQ 96 i I
