NOTES FROM A FATHr~ COUNSSLLOR

The Tatro is happy to give this space to Hernan Howard who acted as as a father counsellor for the last

week. Following are some of his

feelings about the weeks activities and the impressions which he reoeived.

"It was a thrilling experience

to meet boys at a period of life I

had long forgotten about s. They were adorable and after a few days, I became very attached to thera. To be called Hernan and accepted as one of then

was a conplment,., .

!tAs a father, I learned a lot about them., thr:::y have a lat of pr-ob'Lems and a dad must learn to get down to. their levelh. It was hard to keep up with bhen the first day,. and when

the day arrived that a couple of' the Choctaws nade a verY important decision to go in my rowboat" 1 felt that I had arrived1-

II I want to thank Joe and his staff for the privilege I had of working with then. and believe 11e it was all fascinat:ing and [ pa.ined a new concept of the role and responsibilities of a father."

On \"Jednesda.y, August 11, both the Senior and JUnior camps witnessed the first cerer.:.ol1ial fire up at the Ind!ian Council Ring •.

The site was carefully prepared beforehand by Red Dawn and the Mah-Kee-Nac InciIiian Lore students. Four small fires were lit around the ring facing the four dil'ectionsfj'North, East, South and Vlest. After awhile red flares Here lit and an eerie glow was cast upon the area.

The ring was outlined i11. white chalk and 'was ouch snaller than the forner one. In the center was a large bass drum which Vias beaten slowly as the capIgers, entered by Ray Kennedy. Later it was beaten by Red Dawn hi.l11self 'who acted as master of cerer,!onies.

Red Dawn explained tha.t the ceremonial fire was not a show but a true Indian ceremony. He told how the Indians of' the ':outhwest grew mad when some

nen imitated their dance and explained tJlat alt!lough the boys had put a tremendous

effort into their dances they could not be perf'ect , .

He told that mcsb Indian dances told a story or had a moral. To illustrate, his assistant, Bob Hendren, or 1.'lhite Eagle, danced the story of a. buffalo hunt. This dance was danced when the buffalo were killed and the Indians -aanted to celebrate.

The nam feature of the night was a story by Red Dawn about an old chief who was about to die and had three sons. He had to decide whom to leave his position to. He gave them each 21 days to bring back a gift, which he thought was the most valuable one to be found.

At that time several boys clothed in Indian garb which they nade themselves danced a dance depicting a deer hunt. They '1'TOre deer antlers during the dance.

Red Dawn continued Wi. th his story and told nora of the three sons.

John ~.w.ssimiano, Joe Horo"l"itz and Dicl< lliller played the parts of the three

sons. The st.ory was interrupted at po.irrts by another dance, the "Butterfly

Dance" in vhich the boys wore cardboard winfs, and the Indian Hoop Dance done tzy" ~!llite Eagle. The latter dance was a difficult une wbioh demanded a great deal of skill.

Red Dawn then made a number of boysll~ravI98" for having done much work in Indian Lore. The next step is "warrior."

The cereI:1ony was ended Py John :MasSil:iiano who shot two flaning arrows into the air.

The boys who worked with Red Dawn were: Van Brody, Brooks Hirsch, David Kau.iman, 'David Bruck, Jeff .L.awrence, Ton Goldnan, Lewis Bateman and John a:lelstein.

LOOKIm BACK AT 195L.-JTJNIOR CAMP By Larry Bloch

The summer is rapidly drawing to a "' )5e, but Mah-Kee-Nacts Junior campers :i.ll take back to the citymCQiUpleasant ~: Jries,

The Friday eveni~ Choir' was made up ainly of Juniors who carried on the fine tandards made in past years. l'iIany of hese boys had an unforgettable experience Il singling at Xanglewood under Charles Unch.

Many boys took advant ege.of" the musiC rogram to learn to pl::zy- new instrur.lents. r/et'y Junior had a chance to be an acto!l uriilg the annual skit night and am.ateur 0\11",

The Mohican and Iroquois fought the eather all during August and finally

ad a chance the last week of camp to leep out., The Apaches and Choctaws

re as~g why they can't camp out for the ight,.

:Hany of the JUniors took tr'ips during he sUIlllIler. They visited near by farns,

he Lenox Bird Sanctuar,r and the noted ittsfield museum, In fact, the whole r!1Oiean and Iroquois tribe visited the mueum and were really interested in the gyptian mummies and voice box found there.

The JunioTs were verry a.ctive in the ature program after the arrival of l~arw eers. Birds, insects,fitogs, and leafes ere collected all over t..'1e JUniorca.mp •.

Ricky Firtel collected all the frogs

t1 the area. MtiJke Kohner was the bu:bter- 11 specialist and young Rodqy Davis could~t be kept out of the nature shack.

All the Juniors took part in the pta and Crafts program. Torra:zy- Targer

as quite outstanding in the crafts shop •. ickey Firtem., Evan Katz, Palph Leezenbaum nd Richard" "'sraelo£f "took an acti"1e part l art work...

A number of activities became quite Jpular in the Junior camp this sUIImlar. ~cher,y became quite popular. The lioLeans bad a chance to ta.ste the popular )ort of riflery. Sl<vinUJing was ever popu-

Baseball still was: the king of sports in the Junior camp, An all star team of Juniors held the Senior Navajo team to a scoreless tie tmll

. th-e last in'ing when two runs were scored off Lads l'Lil1er the eight year old Junior pitcher. Ben Foll<man" starred by getting two good hits.

The Choctaws deserve' speoial mention in this report. Under Sol. Feinberg's d:irection varied activities were undertaken almost every day, Special games, hikes in the woods, building a fort, picking berries,

the mighty epic "High Saloontl!or

bunk skit night and many special talents for amateur night meant a ver.1 successful season,

Finally no ward about the Junior c~would be complete without mentioning Uncle ~nll bilaloney. Hill's job was

big this year J but patience, his good words, his smile, all were his trademarks. The efficient but happy Junior Ca.mpawes nill many thanks fora

happy summer.

The oampers: defeat·ed the ,counsellors tor the second time in Ji,fah-Kee-Nac IS twenty~ixyear history in the traditional Camper",Counsellor game Wednesday.

The ,campers in vd.nn.ing the game the last day of the season overcame a t11:ree run deficit outdistancing the counsellors by a 9-6 count.

It was Jeff Hecht on the' 1110und

for the victors ·who gave the counsellors so much trouble. His control was

superb and he did not falter in the tight spots.

Hee~;was given tine fielding support especially in the outfiald wheve Lee Metzendor/ and Steve IUein did Yeoman work hauling down a number ot lang .:£il,es.

The beginning of the gane gave no indication that this was going to be an upset.. The counsellors opened the first inning by .imTllediate'ly pouncing on Recht for two runs. Dick Mi1Je r

drew a walk and Bert Ludwig and

Jim rUller doubled. But the threat was cut short when Jim '\Vas cut

down trying to stretch hi. hit to

a triple,. That play characterized

the camper-s play throughout the game, They took advantage of ever,y counsellor mistake~

The campet~ struck back scoring twO' run.s in the bottom of the inning. They scored on hits by lietzendorf and Al Holfson and an

error and a walk. The game

seemed to be the counsellors whe.n they went ahead scoring ,in the third and fourth innings. They led

6-3 when the lid came off. The campers began to hit hurler Ray Kennedy and wait him out fef "-lalkSl and at the

same t me the counsellors play in

the field faltered. The campers

tallied one in the fourth and three

in the fifth and sixth innings.
