WATER-SKIING Here at Ken-Mont, the ski season was some- what abridged by the wrath of the raingod. Although the rain interrupted our activities, we nevertheless found ample time for all phases of our operations. Results of individual instruction proved satisfying to both the campers and the instructors alike. Dreams turned into reality as campers earned National Waterski Association ratings from be- ginner to expert. On the dock, working hand in hand with the instructors were Dodo GARY KRUGMAN and MIKE FASS, a Condor, the two top skiers. Not to be overlooked are ROBERT FISH and ANDY SMALL, the best Hawk and Robin skiers re- spectively. Highlights of the 1969 ski season were: Parentis Day, where the individual campers would demon- strate their acquired skills before cameras held by beaming parents, the wit of J im Hagen, the antics of the phantom boat sinker and the culmination of the year, Color War competition. From beginner to expert, KEN-MONT's ranks were filled with enthusiastic skiers. The enjoyment of this sport was instilled in campers both old and new. The ski crew, which hailed from both North and South, was thoroughly entertained by the humorous antics as well as the tremendous skiing performed by campers while skimming across KEN- MONT's beautiful North Spectacle Lake. By sum- mer's end, nearly every boy was able to ski, and many succeeded in passing tests of the National Waterski Association. 70 Q 6, 5 Z' 6 52 ' lssncmwi .....

PART OF KEN-MoNT's I7 CRAFT SAILING FLOTILLA. SAILING Despite the occasional rainy day, the sailing dock was once again one of the most popular and busy areas in camp. In response to demand, the sailing program was enlarged and every camper from SPARROW to DODO had an opportunity to sail 3 or 4 times a week. A racing program was started with ALLAN KLEBAN, DANNY GLICKEN- HAUS, CHIP GLIEDMAN and JEFF KATZEN showing promise. The fleet was augmented by the addition of a new 2-sail Dyer Dhow and by restoring fby popular de- mandb the 3 Cape Cod dinghies. Ken-Mont now has 17 sailboats: 6 Sailfish, 3 Cape Cods and 8 Dyer Dhows. The Dyer Dhows are sloop-rigged and are equipped with spinnakers. To run the enlarged sailing program, the staif was increased to three full-time members-Dan, John and Kris who were intermittently assisted by RICK SATURN. The standard of Ken-Mont sailing was im- proved this year by more instruction and by insti- tuting two tests: the Crew test and the Skipper test . The Crew test comprised basic boat handling, nomenclature and Marlinspike seamanship. The Skipper test was considerably more advanced. After passing the Crew tests the boys were able to sail sailiishes. A list of boys to achieve Crew or Skipper rating is below. PETER SMALL was the first boy to pass the crew test as well as the only boy to pass the skipper test. KEITH HARTLEY of the Robins was, at 9 years of age, the youngest to pass the crew test. Those who passed also received Red Cross Small Craft Safety patches.
