UPPER CAMP CONDORS Even though the Condor Division consisted of thirty boys, the group went many places and par- ticipated in many activities as a close-knit or- ganization. At camp the boys competed hard within the group in basketball, football, and base- ball. The basketball league consisted of live teams of Condors. The Chicago Bills led by ROGER FRADIN and LEE TUNIS led the league at mid- season with a 3-0 record, having defeated the Lakers and standout OSCAR REICHER, by 2 points in a real thriller. The football league saw the Bills' undefeated with a 3-O record due mainly to the efforts of quarterback NEAL GARDNER and all-star half- back OSCAR REICHER who led league in touch- downs and total yards. The Condors combined with the Eagles and Dodos to make up the Pony League. Several Condors held key positions on their teams. OSCAR REICHER caught for the A's and LEE TUNIS pitched for the Browns. The Soccer program in the Condors was very active due to the excellence of the players in the group. TED MAYER, the Mighty Mosquito of Camp, was a real tiger and a great competitor. NEAL GARDNER, LEE TUNIS, LARRY MARMON and EDDIE STRAUSS made up a fine front line backed up by two Hne goalies, GARY KRUGMAN and MARK CORON. Several of Ken-Mont's top swimmers were Con- dors. ROBBIE, the Fish, KATZ did the 50 meter Breast Stroke in 36 flat, a Ken-Mont record. BRAD BRONK and NEAL GARDNER were also -on the Camp Swim Team. Tennis and golf were favorite activities at Ken- Mont and again the Condors excelled. TEDDY MAN competed successfully in several inter-camp tennis matches. DOUG BLACK, TOM COHEN, LEE TUNIS and BARRY SCHUB were the standout golfers of the group. Most of the boys improved tremendously in these sports during the summer. The Condor Division travelled to many inter- esting places. For the first outing, they Lfwent to Stratord, Connecticut to see the production of Mid-Summer Nights Dream. Although it was a late evening the boys acted like gentlemen and thoroughly enjoyed the program. Each year the Condors go to Tanglewood where world famous musicians perform. This summer the weather held up well enough for the boys to appreciate the art of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Most of the boys also went on a canoe trip down the famous Housatonic River for a fifteen rnile stretch and had some exciting moments shooting the rapids. GARY KRUGMAN and EDDIE STRAUSS shot most of the rapids outside the canoe. While most of the group were out of camp for the Schooner Trip, inter-camp games and the canoe trip, Group Leader Freddie Wolinsky took the remainder to Kent Falls for another of the season's highlights. The boys wallowed in the falls all day, ate dinner and relaxed before returning to camp. It was a close knit group of boys in spite of so many different interests. We tried to understand the other fellow and loyalty and good humor were as important to us as athletic ability. We should make the greatest Eagle division ever.

'V' 9 ' jx fm.. 411. - Bunk 27 CL. to RJ Top: Fred Wolinsky, Lon Nuell. Bottom: DOUG BLACK, JIM ROTTMAN, TOM COHEN, GARRY SCHAEFFER, GLENN DORSKIND, JEFF HERSH. BUNK 27 - WINNEBAGO The Condors welcomed five newcomers to Ken- Mont this summer and three of these swelled the carefree, fun-loving ranks of Bunk 27 whose mem- bers showed a wide diversification of interests. Waterskiing and golf seemed to be the most popular activities within the cabin, and judging from the mark sheet,. morning clean-ups were the least pop- ular. TOMMY COHEN, bunk representative and prominent Waterskiing man, starred in golf, and ably represented the Camp during the invitational tournament, bringing victory both to Ken-Mont and to himself by winning the junior division cham- pionship. Another golf man was JIM ROTTMAN, who also enjoyed sailing and took counselor John Hunt for several trips on a saillish, much to the latter's suffering when the sailfish tipped. JIM also did well on the arts and crafts scene, constructing his own gas plane. Watersports were GARRY SCHAEFFER'S favorite activities. GARRY, a newcomer to Ken- Mont, was a good all-round man. He excelled in water skiing, and did very well in the ARC Junior Life-Saving Course. GLENN DORSKIND, also a new man at Ken- Mont, was a good waterskier. He also was very capable of entertaining the rest of the members with his sense of humor and pranks. Certainly the best athlete in the bunk was DOUG BLACK, another first year man who nevertheless soon proved his worth. He represented the Condors in intercamp baseball and basketball as a member of both A teams. By no means last in achievement came JEFF HDAMASCUSU HERSH, starring as another of the Condors baseball A team members. Besides his athletic pursuits JEFF was an expert gas plane constructor and pilot and time after time repaired his plane after numerous crashes-in the end it must have consisted almost entirely of glue-perhaps that's why it held together so well. All in all the crew of bunk 27 was a very pleasant one and the Ken-Mont experience proved enjoyable for all. The seasonis start was a little rocky for their counselor from England, but once truce terms were agreed upon ala Yorktown, the colonies and Motherland remained at peace! It was truly a great summer. We're looking forward to revising the Eagle ground rules next year! --at 4:.qa.e.1:,,-1-nw-.- .::--- '----------A - ' -:11'f- - - '- -Q +- 1 , ..-. . .-.Q ,TIi'T'I ?:.
