l l . i I AN IDEAL SAILING DAY ON NORTH SPECTACLE LAKE SAILING This year proved to be the most productive ever at the Ken-Mont sail dock. From dawn to dusk the sail area was bristling with activity. Again, the program was under the direction of Tom O'Rourke, of the University of Illinois faculty, assisted by Randy Nixon. Our iieet included six Dyer Dhows, three Cape Cod Dinghies, and six of the ever popular Sailtish. Additionally, a motorboat was utilized to augment the instructional phase of the program which placed primary emphasis on safety and seamanship. In order to qualify to skipper a sailfish, campers were required to exhibit proficiency in a three-part test. The first part consisted of learning the proper sailboat nomenclature Ctiller, rudder, boom and so forthj, rig the boats, and perform such feats as raising the sail, placing the tiller and rudder, and positioning the center-board and cleet properly. Las-tly, campers were required to demonstrate and have an understanding of such terms as ucoming abouti' and jibbing . Before long, boys with little or no previous experience exhibited a Hnatural born sailing ability. Several new innovations helped to make this year unique. For one, a regulation triangular sailing course was set up for advanced instruction. An- other Ken-Mont iirst was registered when We par- ticipated in an intercamp sailing meet. Also, a Red Cross sailing course formed an integral aspect of this yearis program. Throughout the summer, many boys qualified for the Red Cross sailing card which enabled them to wear an insignia signifying their accomplishments.

L MARTY ASSISTS MIKE MOORIN WATER SKIING Ken-Montis ski program was tremendously ex- citing for the instructors as well as the campers. The boys seemed to show an unprecedented interest in this fast-moving water sport, thus making the job of teaching a special treat for the instructors. Group leader Rich Plotkinis Sp-arrows, while composed -completely -of non-skiers at -the beginning of the summer, had practically every member on skis at the end of the season. Especially interesting in this group were the Fass twins, PETER and STEVEN, who not only looked alike, but also improved at an identically fantastic rate. Easily the most advanced group was the Co-n- dors, who boasted of some of the best slalom skiers in camp, such as TOMMY COHEN, TEDDY MAYER, ROGER FRADIN, GARY KRUGMAN, JEFF ROSE and GLENN DORSKIND. ROGER and TOMMY also mastered the turnabouts and earned their expert patch by the end of camp. The Robins als-o produced some great skiers. LARRY COPELAND joined his Ken-Wood sisters on skis for visiting day, while 'Gfuture champ RICHIE WOOD took to the slalom ski as though he were born to wear it. AL DONNENFELD, MIKE FASS and DAVE WINSTON led the Car- dinals, while BOBBY FISH and GEORGE COREN held the crowns in the Falcon and Hawk divisions respectively. As in most reviews, the best is saved for last, and in this case, the best were the two top skiers in camp, STEVE DANIELS and DAVE GREENBAUM. Both earned their expert certiiicates with ease, STEVE showing special agility on the turn-about skis, while DAVE'S slalom skiing was the envy of the entire camp. From beginner to expert, Ken-Mont's ranks were filled with enthusiastic skiers. The enjoyment of this sport was instilled in ea-mpers both old and new. The ski crew, which hailed from both North and South, was thoroughly entertained by the hu- morous antics as well as the tremendous skiing performed by campers while skimming across Ken- M'ont's beautiful North Spectacle Lake. By sum- mer's end, nearly every boy was able to ski, and miany succeeded in passing tests of the,National Waterski Association. f S P L A 4 n L r E I l l 1 5 cl I K 5 l l l L l 1 l 1 i w l 1 I l 1,-0---.mmm--V nn: .iff-rw.. . weznn.--.....zvma--'f'----.....e'f1+w'-.f-:-.-veznvsrf-'f'-1:'fff- :--a1n:fzr:re'f ..:i ':::e71!1:::'- '.::m-I sf:iiirim5,gysmrearaggaa:v :qzr:j:jgg':,.::-.:n..E?535r:nrf:fs:-2-1?-:s':.T w7:::gv:::::tma-f-Wm -L. -Qitiiiawil Q., - ' -1 N ,
