BUNK 30A This year the boys in bunk 30A were one of the most athletic and enthusiastic groups in camp. A good example of the all-'around camper was 5 year man EARL DOPPELT, EARL'S fine basket- ball shot helped Ken-Montis team to many victories. He -also made the first team in baseball and soccer, and was la top. golfer. JOHN LEVENTHAL, another camper who re- turned for his fifth year, was a star basketball player for the HA team and also a big hitter on the camp tennis and soccer teams. BOB REMIN improved greatly in his favorite sport, basketball, and developed a go-od shot. He also was a slick-fielding -second-baseman for the softball team and the best fullback on the soccer team. RICHARD WALDMAN was the best tennis player in the group and was a great asset to the Ken-Mont tournament tennis team. RICH was a fine golfer and also played first team baseball. GARY BLEETSTEIN, coming back for his third YOSEMITE season, continued to be an excellent skier and soft- ball pitcher. GARY improved greatly in basketball and had a fine all-round season. SKIPPER SCHMIDT, a first year man, was a good basketball player and star first baseman for the softball team. SKIP was also a terrific swimmer and was one of the top men on the Ken-Mont com- petitive swim team. Another rookie to Ken-Mont camp was DAVE GREENBAUM. DAVE quickly got into the swing of things and made both the swimming and softball teams. DAVE also discovered the game of tennis and developed into a top player. The only hole in one on the golf course this summer was credited to Dave. On the fourth hole, after hitting a strong tee shot, DAVE couldn't Hnd his ball. Finally, look- ing in the least likely spot, Dave found the ball nestled in the cup! With active Al as a model, we excelled in all the passive activities as well! A great season, a great bunch of guys!

much as he put in, and in almost every sphere of camp life, DAVID made a thorough effort. Of all the campers in 29B, DAVID was the one who was ever ready to try everything . . . and he invari- ably came out grinning. OSCAR REICHER was the leader of the bunk, if leader is the word to use. He was always in at the thick of things, contributing his invaluable words of advice and encouragement to help his friends. OSCAR seemed always to be immersed in a book when not active on the games field, and in all his activities his 'ability to use his head emerged as a great stabilizing influence. BRAD BRONK is yet another example of the spirited campers of the bunk this year. BRAD always worked to give everything he had for the group effort, and yet made his own invaluable con- tribution to the everyday camp life with his ready wit and his never ceasing 'amusing diversions. Life was never dull, even on the most miserable rainy day in camp, when BRAD was around to keep things ticking over. This by no means diminished BRAD'S achievements in athletics, both on the waterfront, and the ballfield. The ever-present com- bination of ability and spirit, which typified the bunk, was the reason for its many successes during the summer. ' ll I ROBERT KATZ was, above all, the most lik- able camper. Always ready with a pleasant smile, and a helping hand, ROBERT helped everyone in the bunk at some stage -to make life more bearable. It is to the benefit of everyone in the bunk to have had ROBERT'S ready sense of humor. The instances of ROBERT'S contributions to the athletics program are equally numerous and valuable. If there was one such character as ROB- ERT in every bunk in Ken-Mont, then a lot more boys would have a lot better time at camp th-an they already have, which is saying something. Lastly, but not least by any means, comes STEVE TAFT. STEVE was the quiet man of the bunk, but almost always the most organized and efficient. His particular contribution, without which the summer would have been collectively less fun was his willingness to take on tasks both pleasant and unpleasant. This same application was the hall- mark of STEVE'S performance in athletic activi- ties, where he always strove hard to give of his best and produced his best form whenever it was needed. STEVE, a sensible, talented 100W camper brings to mind yet again the combin-ation of talent and spirit which made 29B such a great bunk to be with for the summer of '67 at Ken-Mont.

Athletes, interior decorators, blanket-pressers, con-men, glamour UOYS, Sharp' shooters all meanin s of the wordj-and gentle- f S men all.

Led by Jim and Steve, our boys were the wittiest men on Ken-Mont's dia- monds! BILLY COHEN was one of the Eagles best skiers. BILLY also was a fine soccer player, and this was one game in which he knew how to use his head! Policeman and general tough guy-that was DENNY HELFMAN, DENNY was a fine all around athlete, just as valuable in football as in baseball or basketball. STEVE LIEF was one of the top tennis players in the division. On the inter-camp team, STEVE did very well in competition. He was also a good basketball and baseball player. RICK KANE was the Eagles Hnest all around athlete. A line basketball and baseball player, RICK was also an excellent golfer, playing on our winning Invitational team. A fiery competitor, BOBBY STEINWURTZEL was one of the toughest men under the boards on Ken-Mont's courts. BOB is a great guy to have on your side no matter what the game-he came to win!! JAIME FREITAG is another Mr. Hardnose. JAIME revels in hitting on the football Held and should make a fine defensive lineman for his high school one day. The division's top water skier, STEVE DAN- IELS was also a fine golfer and baseball player. STEVE will probably be competing for the national ski title at Cypress Gardens one of these years. RICK ROSEN, a real competitor, was our all- star second baseman. RICK was also a fine shot on the basketball court and one of Ken-Mont's top golfers. Everyone's favorite, JUD STEIN was not only a fine athlete but also one of the Eagles real leaders. I UD was always willing to help, whatever the task, and he had the respect of every camper and counselor. We were a veteran group, wise in the ways of camp and Ken-Mont. We used our knowledge for good as an example to all younger campers. f ...,-- L - , , . - .. -..,, .. 1?-.-2?e111fi-Hififf-221+.-fsfff A -f H-, 5g, ::,,.... . .... :-:fl1?xi':':.-----g--- . -'---5----M 1- -------c..
