Although he did well in everything, MIKE's favorites were ten- nis and rifiery. He held the lower camp record for high score in riflery. He also played third base for the Mets. ION LIEBMAN, the boy with a thousand nick- names, was a good little ball player. He made the A team as catcher for inter-camp games and was on the Aceis starting line up. Robin Hood of the Robin division, JON'S aim won him a free canteen from the archery instructor. RICHARD WOOD, 'the bunk's beam swinger de- lighted us all season with his amazing vocabulary. One of the campis better athletes, RICH excelled in everything he tried. Space does not permit the listing of all his accomplishments this season but two of the more outstanding ones were skiing slalom and making the two mile swim. MARK WEISS, bunk vocalist and orator added spark and life to our bunk this season and our meals in the dining room. MARK has played left field for the Cubs and was also a sail dock swimmer. MIKE ROSEN, 'the bunkis big mann, used his size to great advantage this season. One of the campis better athletes, itis impossible to list all his accomplishments in such a short space. In every- thing he did MIKE showed good sportsmanship and fair play. MARC WARNER, the bunk clown , kept us smiling this entire season. Donit let the title fool you though he's also the bunk spelling champion. MARK played left field for the Aces and enjoys swimming, radio and nature. Even though ourlbunk had so many different interests, we pulled as one. Our friendships will be enduring. BUNK 8 - COMANCHE The several characters from the Comanche tribe of the Robin Division were rugged individuals in their likes and dislikes. All of us were new to Ken-Mont, and as first year campers, we started from scratch. Before long we made our presence felt in all activities. Although we set no new rec- ords, watch our smoke next year! There are many bright moments from this summer to look back on .... J ON KATZ was an all-around active guy, but he did especially well in water sports, and passed the deep water and sail dock swimming tests.

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.. :-..... --...

the Robin Newcomb team, he helped score im- pressive victories over Camp Kent. ROBBIE WEISBEIN was another excellent swimmer, and by winning his swimming race on Olympic Day, he helped his team take second place. A creative mind in Arts and Crafts, he came up with the idea for the bunkis carnival booth. LENNY RUSSELL, another all-around , did a bit of everything. His outstanding sport was golf and he was a famous disk jockey on our camp radio station KAMP. JACK SCHULMAN concentrated on all Ken- Mont sports. He found time to complete a short wave radio set, and he was high up on the Robin tennis ladder. Remember his giant bag of pop corn on Visiting Day? . BOBBY PRAVDER was another radio builder, and another camper who took advantage of all Ken-Mont activities. One of his favorite places was the sail dock, and he could also often be found on the tennis court during free play. JEFF MINDICH liked the same things as BOBBY.' Our third shortwave radio builder, he also loved the sailboats and learned a 1011 about them. STUART HIRSCH, our other outstanding swimmer, was a tennis fan as well. Stu's curiosity led him to all parts of the camp, and he could be found in the company of a variety of campers and counselors. SCOTT WEBER, the little policeman of the bunk, was one of the best athletes. On the A baseball and soccer teams, he helped lead the Robins to memorable victories over some of the neighboring camps. He could always be depended upon for that extra effort when his team needed it. SCOTTY was a hard-nosed competitor. Completing the list was JON SCHOTTLAND, our other top athlete. His achievements were im- pressive. He won the broadjump on Olympic Day, was third on the Robin tennis ladder, scored third in the Get Acquainted Golf Tournament, and was a starter on the A baseball and soccer teams. This bunk has learned a lot about camping this year, and no one will be surprised if they hear much, much more from our men in 1968. A BUNK 9 - HURON I The Robins' of bunk 9 started off the year with the first overnight trip to Mohawk State Forest. All showed an adventurous spirit by going on a five mile hike over the Appalachian Trail, with big Jim Ranchino blazing the way. The Hurons had good representation in all sports and activities. They displayed energy and good sportsmanship in all undertakings. There were, however, a number of personal accomplishments worthy of individual mention. On the baseball field, three Hurons made the inter-camp A team: CORY SCHIFFMAN as a pitcher, KEITH ROSENFELD at third base and MARK LEVITT in center field. The same campers starred on the softball field along with the other Hurons. LARRY COPELAND was an outstanding member of the Newcomb team. At the waterfront CLIFFORD SCHLEIN, BOB- BY TANZER AND STEVE SCHWARTZ per- formed excellently in the intermediate swimming class. At water skiing GARY SANFORD excelled with A in accomplishment and MARK LEVITT was close behind. STEVE SCHWARTZ was one of the few .people-to pass his sailfishi' test, The marksman of the bunk was, undoubtedly, KEITH ROSENFELDg he also held the-' highest bowling score for the entire Lower Camp. JOHN ARONSON was the wit of the bunk and the boy who made the greatest strides .on the athletic fields this summer. Arts and Crafts and Indian Lore were a favorite activity as the many cars, boats, planes and head- dresses which were made during the summer in- dicated. The bunk was grateful to CLIFF SCHLEIN for his watermelon and they also enjoyed winning all his baseball cards. Above all the boys enjoyed each otheris friendship throughout the season and left with many wonderful memories of an outstanding summer at Ken-Mont.
