BUNK 5 - CHEYENNE f Whether on the balllield, in Arts and Crafts or on the lake, the boys of Bunk 5 excelled in all they did. The versatility of skills plus the friendly atmosphere of living together made 1967 a summer long remembered by 'the Sparrows of Bunk 5. LORNE GODNICK and JON BLANK were 'outstanding on the baseball field and were selected to play in the American League wi-th the older boys. JON not only excelled in team sports, but also did very well while playing alone! He was the Nok- Hockey champion of the bunk. LORNE, as well as being an outstanding athlete also enjoyed the radio shack where he built his own transistor radio in record time, 2 days. DAVID PITMAN could frequently be found making models in Arts and Crafts. He had the distinction of making the first model planes with an engine that was able to fly. DAVID was also a standout wafterskier. JEFF GOLD was the Sparrow's 'fMarvel', on skis. On JEFF is first attempt at skiing, he was able to go around the lake by himself. JEFF also had the honor of carrying the Sparrow flag on our nocturnal adventure. DAVID ALBIN's diverse interests made him the most versatile boy in the bunk. DAVE was the Sparrow's sports reporter for the Clarion as well as being the third baseman on the league leading Tigers. He was also very much interested in radiog he broadcasted over KAMP and made his own transistor radio. DAVID GOOFY ADELSON was always the life of the party? If this blond little ball of energy were to ever take his vitamin pills he would un- doubtedly become a part of the Dynamic Trio of Batman, Robin and Goofy. While the other boys were busy building model airplanes and radios, 'fGoofy could be found assembling and reassembl- ing one of his many flashlights. How could one ever forget his attempt to send a pencil home to his mother to have it sharpened! PETER FASS was the most improved boy in the group in softball. His newly-acquired batting prowess helped lead the Tigers to the minor league championship. PETER was also one of the best

During the first week, Rich, our group leader, initiated us into the cult of Three Fingered Willy and the Mummy. Our screams of terrorC?D were later matched by the screams as Ken-Wood girls ap- proached our booths on Carnival Day. JERRY ROSEN was the stellar third baseman for the Panthers. He also won the Nok-Hockey championship of the bunk. Jerry was our Kalten- bornl, of the airways. C Ask Dad who he was.D JIMMY ENGEL was a ball-hawking center- fielder for the pennant winning Tigers.

He starred 'as the Lions shortstop and swung a healthy bat in the league. ANDYlwas also a good tennis player and a good shot on the basket- ball court. MARC FRIEDMAN, another excellent infielder, was the champion Tiger's second baseman. Besides baseball and Indian Lore, MARC loved the water and became a deep water swimmer. We all had a wonderful happy summer and be- came close friends. We are looking forward to next summer, together again as Robins. BUNK 4 - CHEROKEE Contrary to popular belief, the '4Fantastic Fivei' aren't comic book characters. They were alive and doing well in Bunk Four. An amazingly versatile group, the boys' talents ranged from precision model-making through long-distance swimming, all the way to the dramatic arts. It was rumored, in fact, that the camp kitchen kept food inventory by merely inspecting the uniforms of the boys in the bunk. Current estimates have classified MIKE TUNA WISCHE as the commander of the world's largest plastic naval fleet. No armchair admiral, MIKE could be found wherever the fighting was thickest. MIKE'S favorite sparring partner, HO- WARD CASSIUS RUSSELL, a man of many words and even more punches, found time to dis- tinguish himself at the waterfront. HOWIE has not only passed his sail-docki' test with strokes to spare, but, on a tandem swim with the incredible JEFF WILKS, succeeded in conquering the 'lake swim? During that dramatic swim, incredible, JEFF made aquatic history when he developed a new power stroke which he modestly described as the ''hanging-on-to-the-rope-on-the-back-of-the-row- boat-while-the-counselor-pulls-yo-u-along-style . Of equal historical importance, ROBERT HY- GIENEH COVEN has remarkably combined the batting stance of Ted Williams with the personal habits of an extremely neat Joseph Lister. Reli- able authorities swore that during the Sparrows, fishing outing ROBERT insisted on cleaning his record catch of 5 fish before they were pulled out of the water. Completing the Fantastic Five, DAVID UMR. BIG DOUGLASS proved that good things come in small packages. Critical acclaim has enouraged DAVID to play the part of a Sequoia . in The Redwood solely on the merits of his un- forgettable performane in Get Smart. Moreover, after his posing for the camera while going Off Stage, the grape-vine hinted that Twiggy might be out as the world's number one model. Who could doubt it? After all, according to their counselors, every boy in bunk 4 is number l. Indisputably the leaders of the '68 Robins will be found among the ufantastic five.

STEVE KATZMAN was another Sparrow who showed remarkable ability at water skiing. Although he lost many teeth at camp, he still retained his warm smile which was a factor in making him one BUNK 6 - Bunk six of the Sparrow Division compo-sed of many talents and personalities, participated eagerly in all phases of life at Ken-Mont. JEFF DAVIDSON, commonly known to all campers as- 'Thee Goosev, showed fine ability in many areas. Being especially strong in baseball, he was able to play in the American League with the older campers. In the Ken-Mont Carnival 'cpie eating contest , he finished in second place. How- ever Jeff claimed he would have done better had the pie been more to his liking. BRYAN BLOOM was one of the groupis finest athletes, showing exceptional ability on the baseball Held. He, too, played on the hardball team for the older boys at the catcher's position, and he captained the Bears in the Minor League. As a climax to Brian's eventful summer, he was elected as. the Minor League's Most Valuable Player. A of the most popular boys in the group. We developed a strong sense of one-for-all and all-for-one over the summer. Our friendships will bring us together again next summer and many summers to come. CHIPPEWA JEFF FOSTER could have had many nicknames, and all would have described a boy having a good summer at camp. Jeff, always a smile on his face, was a fine all-around athlete. He played second base for our intercamp softball -team, and had a strong arm for throwing a football. One should not overlook his avid interest in Arts and Crafts, as well as Nature. STEVEN FASS was greatly honored as the flag bearer during our 'cnocturnal adventure. Steve was a friendly boy, which aided him in achieving great popularity amongst his bunk mates. One of his greatest talents was in skiing, Steve was one of the first boys to ski Without the aid of an instructor. BRAD GOLDBERG could possibly be a future title holder in the ring. He was the best boxer and wrestler in the Sparrow Division. Out of the ring, he used his abilities protecting the other boys from 'I 27
