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.

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.

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.

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.
