Two Bulls, more , familiarily known as Dwayne Reeves, a veteran staffer, gave us his usually auth- enticplndian Lore Program. Broadway J ackv Far- rell, 'i that international impressario, gave us his usual imaginative fun-filled summer theatre with more boys thang ever iilling roles. Lon Nuell, who teaches Art at a midwestern college, ran one of the most successful Crafts programs ever. Many more specialists merit recognition, but the heart of the -camp, group leaders and general coun- selors, must be mentioned. Our group leaders were '-'t'J'I :: ..:'.itl:i'i '1': PL'-'p- VC:: .:11..i'i - iii:Zzkiiziligiiz:l::iilfZ5Ill'i-ifiEi:lll!l1:iiEEli:::lfEEiif3 sl ll ll all outstanding, and all veteran camp men. In other camps, they were capable of assuming head counselor responsibility. John Mulvaney, an English teacher 'was the finest leader of the little people we have had. Rich Plotkin, an ex-Ken-Mont Camper, gave the Sparrows his leadership. Jim Green, another ex-camp er led the Robins. Ed Skarbek, a school principal from Maine was our Falcon group leader, while Big Dave Shearman, coach from Short Hills, N.J. led the Cardinal a division. Veteran Archy Tracy again ran the Hawks with another ex-camper, Fred Wolinsky, giving the Condors the beneiits of his leadership. Speedy Al Salzman was our Eagle group leader. Once again, that thespian scholar and bon vivant Bill Villano indocrinated our big men, the Dodos, in the do's and don'ts of senior life! , The general staff was one of the best ever. With ex-campers, teachers, graduate students and many fine athletes, these men gave f our boys leadership and warm understanding. It was a mutually ad- vantageous association.

There were prone bodies strewn in his path! A good all around athlete, RON ran with a slight tilt of his head as if he were carrying a weight on top-and he was! PETE TUNIS was another member of our tour- nament winning basketball squad. PETE was not a holler guy but he was the steadies-t kind of performer to have on your side in any game. Blessed with a fine even temperament, PETE was every- one's friend--except when he was on the other team! We saved one of the best for last, our Boy Of The Yearf. DAVE SIMON. We can write a list of superlatives about DAVE, but best to say is that every boy regarded him as a true friend and leader. DAVE was our top hitter and standout third baseman. The entire baseball coaching staff con- sider DAVE a true big league prospect. A good basketball player, top tennis player along with SCOTTY, and a real competitor in contact sports, DAVE proved his versatility on all fields. It was a privilege to know DAVID .... And so, now as campers, we join the ancient extinct DODO bird, but phoenix-like, we shall rise again-as future staff members of OUR camp. THE KEN-MONT STAFF Headed by twelve year veteran Jim Charlton and five year veteran Big Jim Ranchino, our 64 mature staff members were the bellweathers of Ken-Mont's happy summer. Interestingly, a half dozen of our key counselors were formerly Ken- Mont campers, and among them, boasted of over 50 years of loyalty to Ken-Mont! Our specialty staff was outstanding. Ron Bouchier was a top waterfront director and a favorite of every camper. Ron away from camp is Scarsdale CN.Y.D High School football coach. Cliff Malley, a tennis pro for 15 years and a Ir. Davis Cup leader, ran a fine tennis program. Shaun Dunellan, formerly Cambridge University's golf Captain did a bang-up job filling in for our own Al Mazullo. Again, Tommy O'Rourke of the U. of Illinois faculty made sailing a great favorite while Marty Cajun DeGravelle once more gave -.a...... - 1:-:13Hr..:.,:-,,,A-5-ij f - - A - - -- - .:'? -- - .-.. -..-4'.::::aT.':: 122-5 ' ' ' ' ' :....1f',?g'.:', .i 5 QT'
