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.

Being modest, however, each camper chose to channel all his energy into the fields he liked the best so that the bunk unit brought forth startling accomplishments not merely in one or two activities, but in every area of camp life., The overriding factor behind Bunk 10's singular ,success is the .varied in-terests and talents that the boys possessed. It is for this reason that the fellows never slipped into the kind of apathy -that can invade a group interested in only one or two activities. . - Among the veteran campers, there was TONY ASTMANN, number one speci-alist in Arts and ,Crafts and well known for his fantastic artistic ability. Andrew Wyeth, beware! 1, LOREN KLEINMAN, a sure-shot for the MVP award on any team, was an athletic pride and joy of -the Robin division. He was co-captain of the intercamp squad and pitcher on the baseball team. LOREN, -in typical bunk 10 style was not satisfied to stay with one activity and became the bunk champion in M-atchesn. I AY KRAMER, another super-athlete, excelled in eyerythirlgfhe endeavored.. J AY co-eaptained the intencamp 'squad and was captain of Ken-Mont's Little League Mets Team. ' KRAMER, the Don Sch-ollander of Bunk IROQUOIS 10, demonstrated fantastic aquamarine abilities and often was compared to 21 Hsh. Another veteran was STEVE HAUPT. STEVE could be found at the golf course at, almost any time of the day. He just loved to sink those long putts! MITCH STERN, another superb athlete, played first , base ,for the inter-camp squad and his 'Little League team, the Cubs. A fine camper, MITCH certainly ,made his first year -at Ken-Mont a notable one. ' 'V Another first year camper was .BRUCE LADEN who could be found at' the nature- shack all of his free time, si-nce he was Jack T urek's right-hand man. n MATT NEWMAN, another welcome addition to anybody's all-star roster of campers, made a great showing this year, not only on the athletic fields but- in every arena of camping life. MATT really showed H he was worth his salt when the Robins sallied forth on an overnight hike. DAVID MILLER, another first year camper, was definitely the bunk humorist. A good man on the athletic 'field DAVID was also an ace with balsa wood and did a beautiful job on -an extraordinarily difiicult model plane. A great man, DAVID is the perfect way to round off any bunk. It ' The Falcon division of 1968 can look. forward to a fine nucleus made up of the men of il0?'.' at 1 y FALCON FLAsHEs .The Falcon soccer team was perhaps the best aggregation 5. in the lower camp. Offensively and defensivelyl they were the toughest birds to beat. They demonstrated pride in their work and com- petitive spirit in all their activities. The entire divi- sion was well known for their excellent swimmers, great athletes, and its hightscores in daily inspec- tion. Their favorite evening activity was the rare - Social. On the dance floor or on the ball field, these tough birds swept the field. - Four of the most inte-resting things happened to them on their three-day overnight camp-out at Pitts- field State Forest. They took an extensive six-mile hike. To make it more exciting the division was split into two groupsfithe ,Indians and the Settlers. The Indians had ia' twenty minute head start and had to ambush the settlers. The Indians proved to be more skillful in the woods and massacred the settlers. There was plenty of rain one night, the boys saw twofabulous movies and went salamander hunting. In o-ne day they caught over one hun- dred salamanders which were brought back to camp for all to see. The second group hike-out was to Lake Wara- mug. There they befriended and fed several horses. A swim in the lake was followed by eating those huge jaw-breakers. Our third group hike-out was to Mount Tom State Park. An inter-division softball game and clear sunny weather highlighted the day. p During inter-camp games the division tried its best and won the majority of the games. Out- standing in these games were RICHARD WEIL, ROBERT MANDEL, ROBERT MENDELSON, 18 W 5' E:'3fF'Iifi::.?:'F:1..T5 Ei nit. '- 'ifuifzi 'iI 'fm?7 :' -1r1 :'ii '7-5 'Z....'1fLfT1iL-:i.......
