MATTY NATHEL was an all around top athlete. RONNIE BUNK 21 The boys of Bunk 21 were a combination of neo- phytes -and veterans, but -after a few days all were acting like a seasoned bunk: coming in last in in- spection, late to line-up, late getting up and h-aving a -typically wonderful Ken-Mont Summer. It was one for all and all for onei' throughout the eight weeks. The many adventures and experiences shared by the boys will never be forgotten. Will we ever forget Clark Kent or Harpo? Can we forget Arch,s yelling, Mt. Slide, and reveille? We'll never forget Ken-Wood socials, and canteens. Let's forget losing Color War, worst carnival booth and O.D's. We will always remember our group counselors and the happy summer they created for us. Here are the members of bunk twenty-one who proved to be a very energetic and versatile lot. DOUG Strat-O-Maticn BLAU showed a tremen- dous ability for organizing bunk games. He started 31 FRENKEL came to camp late because of a broken leg, but became an active member of the fabulous HAWK group. What a gang! ! ! SEBAGO a game called Strat-O-Matic Baseball and had half the Hawk division involved. Naturally his favorite athletic past time was baseball, that is, collecting baseball cards and posters. Some of DOUG'S achievements were swimming a total of ten miles over the summer, thus earning a ten mile certificate, excelling at tennis, and baseball. DOUG displayed ine sportsmanship. He was one of the new additions to Ken-Mont. MITCH c'HarpoH HORWITZ added many hu- morous moments to the bunk. Everyone was his friend and he enjoyed everyone else. MITCH was a boy who enjoyed life to its fullest. He was a stand- out on the athletic field-baseball, basketball and tennis being his favorites. MITCH also found time to pass his Junior Life Saving, a task taking many hours of work and accomplishments.

Things to remember: We will never forget Bunk 24 with GARRY AARON, JIM RUBENST EIN, JEFF GINZBERG, MARK SHAPIRO, SCOTT ELLIOT and HOWIE KUNIN coming in first every week in bunk inspection.

Do you recall the fabulous basketball team with ROGER KAHN, GARY SINGER, ERIC DONNENFELD, JOHN TUMEN, MATTY NATHEL, JAY GOOD- GOLD, KEN LEIBOWITZ and ANDY MAYER? ROGER KAHN swimming as fast as flipper in the Color War Games will always be remembered. And our eleven hour climb up Mt. Slide with only 24 boys completing the trip must be the most out- standing accomplishment of the summer. The amazing Hawks .were highly diversified in their interests- and abilities. Every activity offered was tried with mounting anticipation and zest. Activities the Hawks liked were basketball, base- ball, softball, soccer, football, tennis, golf, arts and crafts, Indian Lore, swimming, skiing, sailing ca - ture the Hag boxing bunko and man 3 P 7 7 9 y IHOIC.

of personal pride in that accomplishment. At Hrst he couldnlt water ski but he learned, he didn't want to take J .L.S., but he took it and passed with honors, he wasn't a basketball player but through practice' and determination, he improved greatly. A lot of boys can look to MITCH next summer for guidance because he accomplished more than any single individual in the Hawk group. JIM WACHT was one of the little people of the bunk, but only in body size. JIM entered into every activity with vigor and zest. He played on the un- defeated volleyball team, enjoyed archery, riflery, swimming and tennis. JIM bec-ame an expert swim- mer. He was a favorite with his bunkmates, always considerate and helpful. MARTIN WHALEN was a new camper at Ken- Mont, but got into the swing of things the first day and became a unique individual. MARTIN was the wit of the bunk. His humor and caricatures will long be remembered. He was the dramatic actor of the bunk, starring in The Mouse that Roared . In his spare time MARTIN spent many hours at the waterfront learning how to dive and swim. EVAN uBaby Cakes SCHWARTZMAN made many lasting friends at Ken-Mont. EVAN was new to our camp and a little shy at first. After the first week EVAN was a name everyone knew. His big- gest single accomplishment of the summer was BUNK 22 Q. fr f , X Z . ' X X! . ra. .

KEN Chinaman FELLER spent his fifth sum- mer at Ken-Mont. He quickly became the leader and a top athlete. His personality and good spirit made him most popular. KEN earned his ten mile certificate at the Waterfront, played A baseball and B basketball for our inter-camp teams, and scored the winning touchdown for his color war team. BILLY FLAXMAN earned his Five Year jacket this summer and displayed it proudly. He passed his J .L.S., played basketball and softball and spent most of his extra time -at the waterfront. BILLY was the tallest boy in the bunk and always spent a few extra moments at the dinner table filling his hollow leg . BILLY also made the all-star basketball team at camp. BERT Pinelles FICHMAN enjoyed his first summer at Ken-Mont. He was highly diversiied in his interests. He was one of the fastest swimmers in camp and also enjoyed arts and crafts. He was a very good tennis player and liked the riflery range. Soccer and baseball took most of his aspare time. BERT enjoyed all the countless activities at camp and he never seemed to have a free mo-ment. Diversification of interest, but a strong sense of unity was the hallmark of 21 . SENECA The campers of bunk 22, led by .counselors Rusty Simon and Mike Lazar, were known both for their athletics and mischief making. MIKE GOODMAN proved himself to be a fine athlete. He held down the starting position at first base on the A baseball team and was also a strong pitcher. MIKE also made it up to the top of Slide Mountain in a dangerous climb. ERIC DONNENFELD, a new camper, was a standout in both baseball and basketball. He played on the BH softball team and started on the A basketball team. Though he shared in the mischief he was the peace maker of the bunk. ERIC also took Slide Mountain in stride. BRUCE ABRAMS, the speed demon of the Hawks, played all sports vigorously and was the master planner of the bunk. Whenever something was up, you could always count on BRUCE to be at the bottom of it. BRUCE was also the first Hawk to reach the top of Slide Mountain.
