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..

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!

THE DODOS The finest athletic division in Ken-Mont's long history . . . that description sums up the Dodos of 1967. Name your sport, we were tops! We would challenge you in -anything you wanted to- play- Whether it was golf or baseball or swimming or extra curricular activities, we could whip them! Best of all, there was a real spirit of comradeship throughout the -group, a spirit -that should live when our camping years are just dim, fond memories. SCOTT KRUGMAN, as versatile an athlete as you'll -ever find was our stellar right-hander on the diamond. SCOTTY'S earned run 'average was under one run per game! A starter on our basketball team, Scott was also a top golfer and tennis player. He was a natural leader, and was just nosed out for me Boy Of The Year title. A PETE MENDELSON, another top athletic per- former, was the greatest clutch player in Ken-Mont's history. If you needed a base hit, an impossible fielding play, .a I last minute steal in a basketball game, a key block on the football field or just a guy to-twin the toss of a coin, just be sure you have PETE around. Watching PETE on the soccer field was also a rare treat! JEFF EAGLE was the most improved basket- 'ball player in the division, and with, J eff's height, he should become a great one! J eff was a regular on A-the rifle team and was Ken-Wood's favorite linen dispenser! ' 'KEN'fFOSTE.R,--anaold- timer who returned for his final.. camping 'year was one of the big surprises in Color War. KENNY is one of those athletes who needs a real competitive incentive to bring out the best in him, and did he ever! No one hits harder in football and KEN also had real ability in soccer and baseball. He was also a climber of no little. ability, windows were his forte! And now we come to Mr. Hardnosej' MARC SIMON, the toughest kid on the block! MARC, a standout athlete, .always competed like his life de- pended on the outcome of the game. On the dia- mond he was our 'catcher and a big stickman, MARC blocked home plate like a big leaguer and any of SCOTTY'S low tosses were fielded with his hands, chest or chin. MARC was a tough soccer goal keeper. Our English coaches said he was the equal of any British prep school.star at the position! STEVE ANTONOFF, a crack shot on the ritie team, also developed into a baseball player of A team calibre. STEVE is a real worker and knew how to stick with a jOb. HC, With RON HER- MAN'S assistance, was the best mailman Ken-Mont has had. JON BARNETT, Mr. Tennis, managed our inter-camp and tournament tennis teams and pro- vided Cliff with every conceivable kind of assist- ance. We'll probably have to wait for JON to Captain the Davis Cup squad before the United States can hope to win the mug back from Australia! It should be noted too that JON was our carpenter, par excellent! He virtually rebuilt 31 for our mutual comfort! A most versatile performer, GIL LEVINE was one of Ken-Mont's strongest and swiftest swim- mers. Showing his all around abilities, GIL was a regular on the rifle team, a heavy hitting outfielder on the A baseball team and a fine tennis player. Aside from a short spell of wanderlust, GIL made his mark on the athletic field for brother BOB to shoot for! MARC WEIN finally lived up to the promise he has shown over many .summers at Ken-Mont and became one of our toughest all around com- petitors. Letting his actions ,speak ,fOr him, MARC had a great season of the diamond, both in the field and on the mound. MARC was one of the stalwarts on our tourney-winning basketball team, and as always, he was the top golfer in thendivision. His play during Color War was sensational in a losing cause. MARC'S performance as a quarter- back in the football game had Ron, the Scarsdale High School football coach, wishing MARC would transfer! JAY TURKEWITZ, in just two years, has de- veloped into one of the top golfers at camp. JAY won the Get Aquaintedv tournament and played 'on our inter-camp golf team. He also became' a good baseball player by dint of real effort. JEFF LEWIS, another versatile athlete, was a top first baseman, a good shot on the basketball courts, and one of our best golfers in camp. JEFF 15 3 big bOy and played a rugged game in that famous Color War football battle. . RON HERMAN was much like one of his bud- d16S, JEFF FOSTER. When the chips were down
