There were several outstanding events during the past season which the SPARROWS engaged in. One such event was carnival. Bunks three and four joined together to come up with a very popular booth called 'The Ping Pong Race? Bunks live and six decided to go it alone and bunk five had a booth called Bob for Applesi' at the Gobble, Gobble, Restaurablev. Bunk six had a grand booth called Marshmallow on a String . The youngsters all had a great time at the carnival, especially MIKE ZWILLMAN who was the SPARROW entry at the Mold time pie eatin' contest. Another adventure undertaken by the SPAR- ROWS was the overnight hike to Mohawk State Forest under the guidance of Jack Turek, whose expert cooking enabled the SPARROWS to eat to their hearts' content, and these SPARROWS really ate !! The most regularly played and rnost enthusias- tically enjoyed sport for the SPARROWS was soft- ball. More than a dozen games were played among the four teams. The Panthers led by their captain, STEVE ROGER, were the minor league champions of the 1969 season. The other teams, all of them equal in spirit to the league winner, -were the Lions, led by their captain, STEVE SENDAR, the Bears, led by their captain, J ONNY BLANC, and the Tigers, led by their captain MITCH SCHWARTZ. The SPARROWS greatly enjoyed the trip to Lake Waramaug which included a ferry ride across Spectacle Lake, then about an hour and a half hike through beautiful countryside to the picnic area at Lake Waramaug. The SPARROWS turned from birds into fish at Lake Waramaug for they swam in the warm water for about four hours. This was one event not soon to be forgotten by this group of campers. The greatest adventure which the SPARROWS had this summer was an after dinner hike at the end of a beautiful day. The seven bravest SPAR- ROWS, MITCH SCHWARTZ, GREGG STONE, DOUG KAHN, STEVE ROGER, DAVE VER- SHEL, MIKE EFLAND, and KEITH GRUMER, along with a few very brave BLUE JAYS started out on a journey which would last about two and one half hours and which would take them through dangerous swamp lands and uninhabited forests. This brave Safari encountered on their long, difficult journey unheard of dangers: swollen streams, marshy lowlands, and above all, wild beasts of the forest. Truly, this was the SPARROWS' 'gfinest hour . Finally, in order to bring this review of the 1969 summer season to a proper conclusion, the indivi- dual campers must be introduced. GREGG STONE was known as the ustony bopper from Stony Beach . Gregg's favorite sports were baseball, soccer and kickball, but his greatest fun came from the notorious mudslide. MIKE ZWILLMAN's lovable nature and pockets full of candy always made him an essential to the happiness of the camp. Although his favorite sports were reading and sleeping, MIKE could always be depended on to save the team in a pinch. The 4'Barrel had the reputation of being the most well- known boy at KEN-MONT Camp. JIMMY BERNSTEIN, the most efficient when it came time to clean the bunk, earned the title of HMr. Clean , in addition to his cabin given name of Jimmy Cricket . JIM was an avid basket- ball and softball player but also- enjoyed gorging himself during canteen time. MITCH SCHWARTZ, captain of the Tigers, led the softball team to many victories. Known affec- tionately to his friends as short pants , MITCH proved his worthiness during the upillow, fight world seriesn. Arts and Crafts and swimming were his favorite activities with the final result being a suc- cessful launching of a rocket. DAVID VERSHEL, the numerologist, loved to keep track of all the scores of the games played. An avid baseball fan, especially fond of the Yankees and Mets, DAVID never missed the score of one game. DAVID enjoyed playing softball and kick- ball, as well as going to Arts and Crafts and Indian Lore. STEVE SENDAR, captain of the Lions, of course enjoyed softball very much. A very good swimmer, STEVE enjoyed the Olympic Day racing events at the waterfront. He also participated in soccer, kick- ball and Newcombe. In Indian Lore, STEVE was a fine Indian dancer.
