BUNK 1 Bunk 11's greatest contribution to Ken-Mont was their feet. On the soccer field they kicked with ac- curate precision, on the baseball field they ran with amazing speed, and on the dance floor they swept the girls off their feet. The morning of NEIL GROSSMAN'S birthday was another happy event. The entire bunk awoke 20 minutes earlier, got dressed, sneaked off into the shower house and quietly awaited NEIL to come. When he awoke, he was surprised to see an empty bunk and went looking for his buddies. When he entered the shower house, the kids tossed him under one of the showers and wished him a happy birthday. Three exciting trips taken by bunk 11 were, one to Macedonia Brook for an overnight, a hike to Lake Waramug and a longer hike to Kent Falls State Park. The favorite inside bunk activity was collecting and Hipping baseball cards. Some boys lost as I I9 just generally left their mark on every activity at Ken-Mont. KIOWA many as 300 cards in one day while others won as many as 400 cards. The Kiowa's all-around athlete was RICHARD WEIL. For a small boy, he had a mighty power- ful fist. In boxing, he was the best in his weight division. He was the Falconls best goalie on the soccer field. RICHARDS other accomplishments extended from doing the 'fLake and Back swim, achieving marksman in riilery and being the Ace's best second-baseman, to excelling in tennis. A surprise to all the Falcons division was BOB- BY GIMBEL'S outstanding athletic talents. For a soft spoken boy, he was a terror on the football field. He passed his intermediate swim test and was the Dodger's best shortstop in the softball league. Brother Richy, watch out! Two inseparable friends were CLIFF STREIT and MARTY ROSENSWEET. CLIFF passed his deep water test, was a spark on the basketball court, and played a good game of golf. In Arts and

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.......

Crafts he constructed, a replica of a future home and in Indian Lore, he displayed his skills in mak- ing Indian goods. MARTY was another good swimmer. He passed his intermediate test after several tries. He loved, baseball best. The Aceis were lucky to have him as a very much improved outfielder. MARTY was one of those boys who had a good word for everyone. RICH FINDLER, a newcomer to our bunk was one of our better swimmers. He passed his inter- mediate, deep water and sail dock tests. RICKY also excelled on the newcomb court. GREGG CRUBY REDJ RUBIN was the Ace's best catcher. He swam the sail dock and passed his marksman's test in riilery. He was a tough blocker for his football team. Another great athlete was MIKE DOPPELT, an excellent swimmer, he swam the lake and back. His greatest contribution was on the golf course. He won the Ken-Mont Get Acquainted Golf Tour- nament and Division Title. MIKE was the Cub's best first baseman. RICKY '6RED OBLETZ sparked the softball league with his fine outfielding. A marksman in riflery and an island swimmer were some of this fine athlete's achievements. RICK matured greatly this season, he became a real young man. Another husky newcomer was NEIL GROSS- MAN. The Cardis best pitcher, he helped win several games for his team. He swam the lake and back. He added strength to the inter-camp games and loved to flip baseball cards. We were a happy bunk interested in our job- and everybody elses, too! Next year, as the seniors of Lower Camp, we know we shall set the pace for all Ken-Mont. BUNK 12 - MESCALEROS This past summer bunk twelve combined both good times and friendship to make it one of the most spirited bunks in camp. Some of the most enjoyable events were the ball games, the socials, movies, the lake, the pillow fights, wrestling with the counselor, and bedtime stories, rainy day bunks and visiting day. ROBERT FISH, the camper who specialized in heated bunk discussions and water sports, completed the lake swim and proved himself to be an excellent water skier.
