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.

Bottom: GARY SINGER, KEN uslsowlrz, JON TUMEN, JON DAVIDSON, MATTY NATHEL, HANK SC HOTTLAN D. BUNK 23 - SEMINOLE With a diversity of interests, talents, accomplish- ments, Bunk 23 was definitely one of the best and most -athletic bunks in camp. V GARY SINGER was not only the top athlete in the bunk but als-O of the whole Hawk division. He led -the A basketball team in scoring, assists, and ball-handling, he was a human vacuum cleaner at shortstop for the baseball team, he proved him- self invaluable on the football, soccer, and swim- ming teams. In short, GARY was the kind of athlete who possessed enough natural ability to excell in any sport in which he participated. MATY NATHEL was the little scrapper of the group. His height never interfered with his athletic ability. He started at guard on -the A basketball team, centerlield on the A baseball team, and proved to be a pleasant surprise on the tennis team. JON TUMEN was an excellent Sportsman of considerable athletic ability. This, combined wi-th his 'tremendous desire to win and willingness to learn, made him one of the leading all-round ath- letes in the camp. JON was a leader on the base- ball and soccer fields but really proved -this ability :i3.:- -mA:,ggm5f---w- :mm,mn--,,g,,.gg55::z1.'-...... '... .J 'n1r.::g--Q . nm?-..,.--az,--...-r -- when he was captain of the A basketball team. Again JON repeated as our Boy of the Year . KEN LEIBOWITZ, another versatile athlete, was the number one member of our golf and tennis teams. However, KENNY was particularly out- standing in basketball, where he was considered the defensive specialist, and in baseball, where he was unquestionably the greatest lefty ever to hit the Hawk division. With his quick sense -of humor -and sp-arkling wit- ticisms, JON DAVIDSON was definitely the bunk eomedian. On the serious side, JON saved enough energy to climb Mr. Slide and become one of the top marksman in riliery in the whole division. He also proved his exceptional swimming ability by passing the Junior Life Saving Test and swimming across the lake and back. Blessed with a keen mind and a pleasant person- ality, HANK SCHOTTLAND proved to be a prize asset tothe bunk and the division. Besides being the top waterskier in the bunk, HANK also found time to develop a keen eye that won for him a place on the camp's rifle team. .. , ,, .. ,....,.. .-......
