Brad was also strong' at waterfront activities, being one of the first boys to pass his deep water test. NEIL SKOLNIK was one of the more versatile boys in the bunk. He was a good athlete, participat- ing eagerly in softball and capture the flag. Aside from his athletic abilities, he was interested in Arts and Crafts and Nature. His greatest interest, how- ever, was in radio. Neal was also the knock-hockey champion of Bunk Six. ERIC CBaby Cakesj SILVERMAN, besides being one of the most popular boys, was also one of the best athletes in the group and the Sparrows, Boy of the Year. He was one of the choice few to play hardball with the older boys, while he captained the league leading Tigers in the Minor League. Eric, occasionally called the '4Mighty Midget , was also a good skier. ALAN HARMON was the boy with his own toy store in the bunk. Although he had many things to keep him busy, he still participated eagerly in Arts and Crafts and Indian Lore where he made still more interesting items to make his cubbie shelves more attractive. Alan enjoyed playing Cap- ture the Flag and played third base for the Lions in the Minor League. Also one should not overlook his ability in skiing. All boys new to camping, we proved long before season's end we deserved the accolade, real Ken- Mont Campers! We are looking forward to re- newing our comradeship in 1968 as Robins. ROBINS From the first overnight trip of the 1967 sum- mer, to the final exciting days of Color War, the the Robin Division showed outstanding spirit in real Ken-Mont tradition. Thirty-six young men and eight wonderful weeks combined to give the ,67 Robins a summer they will long remember. Active in all phases of camp life, the Robins were tops at Arts 8c Crafts, Indian Lore and as disc jockeys for KAMP. We numbered half a dozen lake swimmers, and numerous sail dock swimmers as well. Our inter-camp team took on all comers and won all their games! Robins were among the U...-.... 4-..,.,... . . ......- . ,vga H e .- - -,...v.i.., ..-.i.. if ---A -.- -..,- -- ..

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

All in all, it was a wonderful year for the boys The Robins took a first in Nature and Pioneering, of the Robins, a year for growing and learning, and showed their skills in our overnight with Big Jim. and a year to look forward to the 1968 season. BUNK 7 - CHOCTAW The Bunk 7 campers this season were all second year veterans. The counselors, although experi- enced, were new to Ken-Mont. The boys taught us quickly. . . Although the Robins have done many things as a division such as the overnight, going for pizza after sweeping an inter-camp series, Sharon Playhouse and bowling, the highlight of the season for Bunk 7 was the cook out on Blueberry Island. After the food was gone they explored Spectacle Lake in the new boat. They discovered many inter- esting natural wonders, among them finding a rare fresh water sponge. Bunk 7 can claim four A team players for the inter-camp games, three swim team members and five in-ter-camp newcomb players. It also claims one of the high ranking positions for 'chigh bunkv in inspection for the lower and upper camps. As a whole it was a great season with a great bunk. As counselors and campers depart with sore muscles and sore throats for their winter homes, peace comes to Ken-Mont once more. ALAN FRANK was the counselor's friend and one of the Robins all around men. He' did every- thing equally well, he played outfield for the Mets, and advanced from crib swimmer to sail docki' swimmer all in one season. One of Alan's favorite indoor activities was Indian Lore where he made an authentic Indian peace pipe, which incidently didn't bring one bit of peace to our bunk. DANNY COHEN, better known as '4Fang at Ken-Mont, held the bunk record for staying in bed the longest and making counselors say get up the most times. DANNY'S favorite sports were basket- ball, capture the flag, and baseball. He did well in all. DANNY was the second baseman for the Robins. ED HERMAN was the bunk card shark Cbaseball Cards that isb. He played second base for the Spades and was one of the few Robins to qualify at the Rifle Range. ED also was on the swim team. I mznr.. - man. -'.. -....mn.-...:----- .::1---- amz.. :-..... --...
