Summer 1971 No. One

At about 3:00 PM, June 26, six large buses lumbered down the hill and into the drive circling the Junior Camp area.

Doors opened, and nearly 300 boys came bustin' out allover. Happily they joined the campers who had arrivedeal;'lier by car from many points. Some campers, ladened with last-minute luggage, moved directly to their Bunks, while others ~athered around identification signs held by

the Counselors.

The arrival of campers climaxed a long period of prepara~ tion by the Mah-Kee-Nac staff.

On June 15, ~ l2-man crew set to work on the seemingly endless task of preparing the camp's waterfront.

For more than a week, the crew busied itself with painting, pushing, heaving, and towing the various dock and raft section~ into place.

Boats were removed from storage, sailboats were rigged, and sand was spread on the beach.

By June 22, most of the counselors had arrived for staff orientation--four days of meetings, planning, inventory, setting up equipment, unpaqking luggage, and exploring the Lenox-StockbridgePittsfield area.

The staff of 87 counselors and their Head Counselors spent a productive period of orientation, and gave final touches to all aspects of the summer's program. The Counselor sta.ff comes from 20 states and seven other countries.

By the time the campers arrived, all had been resolved into a semblance of order, and Mah-Kee-Nac was prepared for its annual popUlation explosion.

BUMPY BUS RIDE FROM N.Y., JERSEY; COUNSELORS PICKET CAMP OPENING?

by Jeff Paul--Bunk 11

On the morning of June 26, three buses left from New York and

three left from South Orange, N.J. On the bus it was hot and bumpy, but it was a fun ride. We stopped for a Coke at the bus terminal. Joe, the camp director, ordered 300 drinks for six buses.

When we came into camp, all the counselors were there holding up bunk signs. Some of the campe~s thought that they were picketing to keep the camp closed so the counselors could go home.

MAH-KEE-NAC: A LONG, BUSY HISTORY

by Gary Leyner--Bunk 11

Camp Mah-Kee-Nac was founded in 1929. At first the program was run at Camp Yokum which had been a girls I' carqp , The name could not be changed because the camp was rented. At that time, the camp had only 16 boys.

Then, in 1935, Joe bought a camp that had closed in Lenox, Mass. to build a new camp on. This had also been a girls.' camp. Joe called it Camp Mah-Kee-Nac because it is located on Lake Mah-Kee-Nac. By now there were 80 campers. The Seniors slept in tents, and the Juniors slept in cabins.

In 1938, the second dining hall was built, and wha.t is now the woodshop contained both woodshop and nature. In 1939, woodshop and nature became a double bunk, and the next year it became the infirmary, which was later enlarged and remode.led in 1954 ..

Then, in 1969, the Junior Lodge burned down. The. ne.w

Junior Lodge was built in 1970. Also in 1970 the old infirmary was made into two separat.e buildings

(woodshop and nature) and a new infirmary took its place.

Now in 1971 the camp has grown to 325 boys and a staff of 92 Counselors and Head Counselors.

THE JUNIOR CAMP STALKS COUNSELORS


The Junior Camp Counselor Hunt on June 27 was a lot of fun. Some of the counselors hid in the weirdest places.

Jon Oliver hid in the bath~ room in the Junior Lodge, Chuck Partusch hid under the dining

room, Pat Stone hid in a box n~iar the Junior Lodge,. and BarryAndr~ws hid in the room under the stairs

of the Library. Other counselors hid, too. The w~nning bunk was Bunk l~ they had a total score of 100.

The boys in Bunk 1 are:

Alan Lewis, Jimmy Ascher, spencer King, Chip Myers,. Eric Gorham,

Jeff Weiser, Michael Steinlauf,

and Ed Zalaznick.

ACCOLADES .FOR NAVAJO RIFLEM.EN

NEW SOFTBALL TECHNIQUES MAKE HIT

by David Wildstein--Bunk 9

It's a new way to teach softball. It's much easier and you le.arn more, too ..

Mike Carney, who heads Mah~ Kee-Nac's softball program, graduated in physical education at the. University of South Florida. He is using here at Mah-Kee-Nac some techniques he learned at the university.

Every campe r gets to play

each position by rotating. If

two campers. want the same position, they choose a number from one to ten. Another way is he sometimes puts numbers in a hat and lets us draw, with numbers like one for first base,two for second base, tiine for shortstop, and so on.

I think that he would make one of the best major league managers ..

AM~ IN PL~A~A~T VALL[Y

by Mark Segal--Bunk 32

It started out a hot, humLd day, but things cooled down as evening drew closer. We rode down in the Camp Van, seven of us, Counselors Phil, Murray, George and four campers. It was a quiet ride, of about 10 minutes.

Pleasant Valley belongs to the Mass. Audubon Society.

The valley was geared to conservation, as thier motto implies: "Take only photographs, leave only footprints."

The first thing off the private road was the museum. It

was closed, as we came about 7 o'clock but through the windows we could see it had showcases, pictures, and some live birds.

Around the museum were several animals in cages. There was a turtle pen, an eagle, horned owl, crow,etc., and a. pen where a porcupine should have been but wasn't. Eagerly now we pushed on, down one of the nature trails. The mosquitos were biting, but all was peaceful.

We soon rea.ched Pike's Pond, where we met the camp doctor and his family, who were going to go with us, but left camp early. In the beginning the campers were more interested in catching frogs, but after we spotted the first beaver, the frogs dropped to forgotton lore.

As we proceeded we saw the dam, and the trees the beavers had cut down, and a few more beavers. The trails were realistic and we enjoyed ourselves. We. a.Iso marvelled at the strength of the beavers' teeth, that they could cut down big trees. We all enjoyed ourselves, and conversation was interesting and fluent. On the way back one of the bea..vers came

out of the pond, not ten feet f r ofn ~

Z I

George gave us a small tour of Lenox. We ·then returned to Mah-Kee-Nac, happy and thankful, as we added one more to our life's list of good experiences.

The camper~_"in the trip were: Mark Segal, Neil Shane, Jeff Foster, -and .Adam Harmon.

On June 30, eight campers and two counselors took a three-day hike to Kitche,n Brook. The eight campers were Reid Lifset, Dave Goldberg, David Dean, Jay Blumberg, Jim Doblin, Mike Isermann, Richard Numeroff,

and Andrew Corwin. The counselors were Bob Morissette and Dick Jones.

On the first day we had a hard time setting up the tents. After this chore, we had a dinner of pepper steak, baked potatoes, and baked apples.

After dinner, Mike, Jim, and Jay went to wash up, and while they were washing

David stole Jim's clothes.

For about an hour, Jim looked fdr his clothes, bellowing like a frustrated tarzan.

That night we were raided

by some raccoons.', They overturned Bobls pack to get the food, and' they got it.

The next day, after a sausage and egg breakfast I we he'aded for Mount Grey1ock. First we had to climb up Jones' Nose (no pun intended, Dick) .We had to climb very hard, ascending about 2000 fee~ in one hour. Then we hiked o-n to the top of Greylock.

On top of the mountain it started to rain, so we stayed under a hut for about an hour. Dick went outside during.a break in the storm to look around.

For about an hour, and a half, we walked in the rain. The whole trail was like a small creek.

When we got to the bottom., we set up tents in the rain.

Next morning we broke camp and heade.d back to Camp Mah-Kee-Nac·.

On June 28 we wen.t· en a nature.. . walk. First·· we saw·' some red- fungus. Then we. went ·into the woods and saw some animal 'holes.' . We 'came' .to a great big tree that h~d fallen. It could hold 40 of us~ ':

Then we came to .a< little stream. We f'ound some rocks and went over it. We heard birds chirping. Then we. came to a meadow, where we saw some f,towers and ate some raspbe.rries ..

We came in.to some grass that was higher than we were. Then

we left· the meadow, crossed a natural nridge, and ended back at camp.

TRIBAL NIGHT FEATURES ZANY RACE AS CONTESTANTS HOP, RUN, CRABWALK

by 2eter Levy--Bunk 6

The Mohicans h~d a Tribal Night on Tuesday, June 29. We raced around the Junior Campus. We dribbled

two times a.round the basketball court, then we had three times to get a basketball in the hoop. Then we ran to a long rope and crabwalked to the end of the rope.

Then we ran around'a baseball diamond twice, then got into potato sacks and hopped to a green bench. We got out of the sacks and ran back to the basketball court, and the first one to the court won.

It was really fun!

OPTION DAY: A CHANCE TO DABBLE by Steve Litvak--Bunk 11

On July 1, the Junior Camp had its Option day. Option Day is when you get to do anything you want. You can go fishing, play softball and soccer. You can play tennis, too. In the woodshop

you can make anything out of wood.

I think Option Day is a lot of fUll.

IS NATURE REALLY THAT INTERESTING? by Ken Epstein--Bunk 22

Yes. You don't have to be a natu-re ' nut to like nature. Take, for instance, the other day.

Phil and I and two other people were taking a walk during nature. As we walked around we saw

a dead birch tree. Phil cut off some pieces and we made them into postcards. Then we passed by some wild strawberries and ate some.

Somebody took out some of his Jaw breakers which he got from Cany Day and bet Phil that the strawberries had more gqrms than the

Jaw breakers. We didn't have enough time to prove it, but we are going to make bacterit cultures next nature period.

But we did look at the animals and we had lots oftfun. So really you don't have to be a nature nut

to like nature, and the whole area ~.

around you which is nature.

You don't have to have it as a period if you really don't want to, but come on over fr·ee play and look. If you like it you can have it as an option.

fHE HEART ATTACK AT MAH-KEE-NAC by Jeff Paul--Bunk 11

BUNK 42 VISITS TANGLEWOOD AND THE HAWTHORNE HOUSE

by David Hoffman and Eric Rosenberg

On July 1st, eight boys and two counselors from Bunk 42 visited Tanglewood and Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Little Red House."

When we got there we walked around and listened to the Boston Symphony Orchestra and

two or three student music groups. We walked all through the gardens. Then we went to the book and music store.

At a certain time we met at a side entrance called the Lions' Gate, and proceeded to Nathaniel Hawthorne's house. There was a guide and she toured us through the house. The original house was burned down in 1891, and the house was rebuilt by a music society. The house now is used in part for student music rehearsals.

The people who went were David Hoffman, Eric Rosenberg, Ken Werner, Bob Spelke, Steve Adler, Andy Frank, John Roberts, and the counselors were Bob Perkel·and John Boyan.

Bunk 42 enjoyed the trip because of the beautiful atmosphere of Tanglewood.

LAZY DAY ARRIVES AT MAH-KEE-NAC --JUNIOR CAMP TAKES IT EASY

by David Wildstein--Bunk 9

The Junior Camp had the first of .its two Lazy Days last July 11. Campers were allowed to come to breakfast and play first period ' games in their pajamas.

Breakfast was served in the dining hall between 8:00 and 10:00, instead of the usual 7:45 time.

The last three periods of the day were regular periods, but. the evening activity was a cafeteria.

We could choose from archery, riflery, fishing, basketball, softball, photography, and many others.

"ODE TO A TOAD" AND OTHER NUMBERS


The Toad is an animal that is related to the frog. The toad looks like a small frog and the toad is brown.

Some people believe that the toad sat on a mushroom, so the mushroom is called the toadstool. I think the toad is a nice animal.

We should keep our camp and woods clean, or we could ruin our natural environment. When people carve initials in a tree, they can ruin the tree. What do you want? A damaged environment or a whole one?

by Randy Kohn--Bunk 2

Junior Camp Nature Counselor Bob Nearier,. myself, and several other boys went on a nature hike on Monday, June 28.

We got to see many thi.ngs.

We saw the rare fungus. It was orange and red in color.

We listened to the call of the indigo bunting, andf_~:pnd many animal homes. We alat> found two toads. We fed one to a snake and ~~pt the other. Also, we learned a lot about pine trees.

I thought it was the best hike ever.

TWO MUSICALS SCHEDULED

by Ricky Lindner--Bunk 23

The Mah-Kee-Nac Drama Department, run by Jon Oliver and Musical Director Don Jenkins, plans to produce two plays this season ..

On July 31, and August 1, the Juniors will stage "Peter Pan Comes to Mah-Kee-Nac," and on August 12 and 13 the seniors

will mount "That's Not the MahKee-Nac Way," based on th~ broadway musical "Damn Yankees. II

Jon wants these plays to be excellent so that more boys will join the drama program. He especially wants to involve more boys with lighting and scenery.

Jon always strives to add little surprises to add more

fun and excitement to the plays. He also deems it important that the plays be adapted to relate to life at camp.

Director Jon picked IIDamn Yankeesll because it is sports oriented and full of good lively sounds. "Peter Pan," of course, holds a special kind

of magic for the juniors.

JUNIOR EVENING SERVICES UNDERWAY~ TUCKETT, BARBER TELL EXPERIENCES

Our first Friday Night Service of the '71 camp year for the Junior Camp was held on July 2. The Service was held at the green benches by the waterfront.

With the setting sun, Paul Golomb (who left in the middle of last summer for rabbinical studies in Israel) led the Service.

After the Service, our counselors from other countries were supposed to tell us about where they lived. But

we ran out of time, so we heard only from Brendan Barber and John Tuckert, who told us about Liverpool and and the Sahara Desert.

"TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN"

IITAKE THE MONEY" KEEPS SENIORS IN STITCHES

CELEBRATION OF JULY 4TH INCLUDES JFK MOVIE

by Rich Diamond - Bunk 40 Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon starred in liThe Odd Couple", which was later plagarized to make the television series. Unfortunately, many campers have seen the series, and this may have hampered their enjoyment of the film.

On the whole, the film was extremely funny, although it started to drag in spots. There is one word tha.t fits the film - "Take the Money and Run" - Lunacy.

Woody Allen was perfect in his part. It was very funny and kept everyone in stitches the whole time. Even when seen for the second time, it is just as funny.

by David Bagdan - Bunk 23

On the 4th of July, the Lower and Upper Senior Camps saw the movie "John Fitzgerald Kennedy". It

was a very·good movie. It told all about his political career.

After Taps, the Seniors thought they heard fireworks from the Tanglewood celebration. It was hard to see the fireworks from the Senior camp.

Five minutes later, kids started. yelling - "Hell, no, we won't gO!" Fifteen minutes later, three counselors tried to get everybody in, but they couldn't.

Finally, Dave Shields gave an inspired yell: "Whoever doesn't get off that basketball court will get a kick in the pants!"

Everybody ran to their Bunk.

SUGGESTIONS FLOW FROM LOWER SENIOR CAMPER COUNCIL

The Lower Senior Camp has held three Camper Council mee~ings thus far this sununer.

At these meetings, the Bunk representatives discuss suggestions for the betterment of camp.

Among the suggestions are the following:

The boys like milk three or four times a week, but prefer chocolate milk to white milk.

Spaghetti is a popular dish. The campers like the idea of a wide choice of cereals.

The deserts are liked, especially pies and the eclairs.

The speaker suggested that the grass behind the Lower Senior Camp Tennis backboard should be cut so that balls would not be lost.

The campers are enthusiastic about the idea of having models available on hobby nights. They prefer the glue models ..

The Lower Senior Camp prefers to have its movie night separate from the Upper Senior Camp.

The request was made that the canteen stock a better quality of flashlights and ~atteries.

Agreed was that the bunks next to the ping-pong tables and Nok-hockey sets will be responsible for their care on rainy days.

Campers like the Library and asked if there could be a new arrangement for eas~ finding of books they want.

Camp~rs would like to meet in small groups with Counselors to discuss music, coin collecting, stamp collecting, and so forth.

The opinion was unanimous that the movies so f~r are great.

Craig Pogosky, Seth Harrison, Fred Fogel, Neil Shapiro, and Larry Katin agreed to meet to consider new games to be played on Tribal Game Night, since Joe will not permit "Capture The Flag",

The delegates at the meeting on July 17 were: Bunk 21- Mitch Rosenberg; 22- Bobby Litvak, 23- David Bagdan; 24- Donny Sandleri

25- Eric Rosof; 26- Jeff .Langendorf i 27- Brian Marks; 28- Mike Kopelowitzi 29- Doug Kohl; 30- Ian Wexler, 31- Danny Raynor; 32- Danny Zack; 33- Warren Odette; and 34- Larry Katin.

JUNIORS ENJOY ANOTHER ALPHABET GAME

by Steve Schnur - Bunk 3

The second Junior Alphabet Game of the summer was held on July 30. The black team made a few complaints, but it was fun.

The final scores were: 24 pts. for the red team, 23 pts. for

the green team, 17 pts. for the blue team, and 10 pts. for the

black team.

The game was led by Counselor John Tuckett. The team captains were Counselors Chuck Partusch, Mike Carney, Pat Stone, and Bill Mullen.

Most of the campers enjoyed the game, and I hope we have another alphabet game soon.

In addition to many counselors from the united States, there are 12 staff members from other countries. Each one has his specialty, from Nature to Waterfront.

All of the foreign counselors belong to a program where they will learn about Americans, and we will learn about them.

In Junior camp, four counselors are. from different countries. Henri

(Ric) DeHennin, a graduate student from Belgium, works in the Art Shop.

Mick Tesseras and John Tuckett, both Englislunen, teach the fundamentals of Soccer. Maybe America now will have its own Pele. Gordon Sharp from Scotland, teaches tennis. Remember, Stan Smith can't play for ever.

In the Lower Senior Camp, three Englislunen, one Scot, one Australian, and one New Zealander reside. Phil Carruthers is dean of the foreigners in camp, having been with us for three years. During this time he has built Nature into a very popular activity.

Graham Dewey and Brendan Barber continue the job of teaching Soccer to Campers. Brazil, watch out in the playoffs in the world cup l

Chris Fletcher and Ian Simpson, an Australian and a Scot (in that order) are waterfront men. Only Chris has one problem: he keeps swimming up-sidedown. Murray Hall, a New Zealander, works in the Camp Craft program ..

John Boyan is another Soccer Counselor, but in Upper Senior Camp.

With this many Soccer men, it is unavoidable that America will win the World Cub.

The Norway representatives are Kjell Gjermstad and Alf Torstad, both Waterfront men. Kjell and Alf are in a Teachers Exchange Program at Antioch Collegea.t Yellow Springs, ohio. Before coming to camp, they attended the American Red Cross Aquatic Schools to learn about our American methods and phraseology.

And these are the foreign counselors at Camp Mah-Kee-Nac this summer!

MAH-KEE-NAC HEARS FROM FOREIGN COUNSELORS ---

Our Counselors from Europe write to Joe throughout the year, and this summer he received two letters, one from England and one from Sweden. The first letter came from Howard Rees, who was on our Art Staff last summer. Howard writes:

Dear Frances, Joe and Mah-Kee~Nac:

I'm sorry about the delay in replying to your last letter. I no longer live at Senghennydd Rd., Cardiff, Wales, since I am teaching full time at Halesowen. (Term ends July 16, by which time your program will be well underway). During my comparatively short school holiday, I hope to visit Central Europe, maybe as far as Greece - watch out for postcards!

with best wishes for everyone at Mah-Kee-Nac,

Sincerely yours, Howard

The second letter came from Bengt Johansson, Soccer coach i 1963 and 1964. He was recently visited by former camper and counselor Steve Shapiro, who was travelling in Europe this summer. Bengt says:

Dear Frances and Joe:

After all these years, I suddenly decided to write and tell you a little about me and my family. The inspiration t.o write carne when Steve Shapiro visited me for the second time since I left Camp MahKee-Nac in the summer of '64.

Steve is on vacation in Europe

and seems to find the northern part, the most interesting.

No joke - it's good to see

him here again and I think he has a splendid time travelling like that. We have been talking about you and camp and we even saved some pictures. Mah-Kee-Nac is a wonderful place and I hope to get back and see how you are.

I live with my family some 25 kilometers south of Goteberg. We bought a house this spring and are all settled by now. It is a lovely

(more)

place and we like living out in the country. Our son, Johan is almost six. I'm teaching physical education at the elementary school and my wife is also teaching.

I hope you are well and that everything at camp is good. My best regards to the staff and campers who might remember me.

Sincerely yours, Bengt

FORMER SOCCER-T'ENNIS COUNSELOR WRITES FONDLY OF CAMPING DAYS

(Dick Henderson (169-'70) from England)

Dear Joe:

I hope you and everyone else at Camp is keeping well, and that you are all having a wonderful summer. Many thanks for the Newsletters and my apologies for not writing sooner.

I sure wish I could have been at Mah-Kee-Nac this summer because surruner just isn't the same without Camp.

School finally finished July 23, so I am now enjoying our long

(6 weeks - not long by American standards, is it?) surruner holidays. On August. 10 I am go.1ng on my travels - I'll be starting off in Holland and hope to travel around Denmark, Germany, Sweden and maybe Norway. I am looking forward to

a good time, and I hope I get lots of sunshine to make up for all that I have missed.

I was disappointed by the form

of the Mets. My friend· Neil receives "Sports Illustrated" so we get all the baseball news - he supports the Red Sox, so we were hoping for a Mets-Red Sox World Series, but it certainly doesn't look lit it now!

I would like Mah-Kee-Nac news, especially Soccer news, and would appreciate it if you could send me a copy of Totem again this year.

I look forward to hearing from

you.

Dick.

M 0 U N T A I N T RIP

By David Dean - Bunk 37

Eight campers and two counselors went on a campout, on July 7. The counselors were Dick Jones and

Bob Morissette. We went to the Pine Cobble trail in Williamstown. Then, that day we climbed Pine Cobble Mountain. It took about three and a half hours. At 8:00 p.m. we set up our camp and had beefstew for dinner.

On the next day, we climed

Mt. Prospect. This climb took us about four hours, but it was fun.

The hill on the way down from Mt. Prospect was quite steep, about

a 400 angle. We saw a baby por climbing a tree. That night we slept next to Hopper Brook and went washing. That night we had a spaghetti dinner.

On our third and last day, we hiked for an hour and a half to the place where we were picked up by Harold and returned to camp

in the van.

We returned tired, but happy.

Our swim team entered the Greylock Invitational Swim Meet., and did very well in tying Greylock for first place.

The Meet started out with MahKee-Nac and Greylock dueling it out for close leads, with Camp Lenox trailing behind. After a few races, we pulled into first place.

Then it started to rain. We went into a hall at Greylock to wait for the rain to stop,with Mah-Kee-Nac still in the lead. We thought tha.t if the M.eet were to be postponed,we would get our best swimmers back who were a.way climbing Mt. Washington in New Hampshire.

However, we resumed the Meet, and toward the end, we needeo six more points to tie. There wa.s the final event and in order to tie

we had to win this race, and Camp

Lenox had to come in second. .

Tha.t is just what happenend!

We won the event, and ended the Meet tied for first place.

by Willy Portnoy and Ron Feldman Bunk 7

The second Junior alphabet game was played on July 31. The blue, green and black teams were defeated by the red team, coached by Barry Andre.ws, Randy Nolan, and Al Rudolph.

In the middle of the game., the red team was "red hot". The green team was second,the blue team was third, and the black team was last.

Then, suddenly the blue team was gaining points. When the crucial question was asked, the red team ran up as quick as can be, and won the question.

Head Coach Chuck Partusch, was so pleased he jumped high in the air.

The red team won the game.

(P. S. - when ya are. hot, ya hot ••• )

Alphabet game can be very exciting and it was felt we ought to have more such activities throughout the camp season. The winners, of course, like it a lot.

JUNIOR CAMP TAKES IT EASY

By David Wildstein - Bunk 9

Junior Camp had the first of its two Lazy Days on July 11. Campers were allowed to come to breakfast and play first period games in their pajamas.

Breakfast was served in the dining hall between 8 and 10 a.m. instead of the usual 7:45 time.

The last three periods of the day were regular periods, but the evening activity was "cafeteria". We could choose from Archery, Riflery, Fishing, Basketball, Softball, Photography and many others.

"THEM" A GOOD MOVIE

by Andy Wolfson - Bunk 11

"Them" proved to be a spectacular movie. It begins in New Mexico where, in 1945 the first atomic bomb blew up. From the radiation, ants have grown to gigantic proportions.

The mystery begins with a mobile home and scor e destroyed, and several people killed.

Later, a giant anthole is discovered. A scientist, with helpers go down the hole, ex.plore and find the egg room, and destroy it.

However, not all the ants were killed. Even later there are reports of queen ants flying over many Western states. They are traced to. a nest in Los Angeles in a drainage pipe. The threat is announced to. the public and an all=night curfew is set up.

The Army entered the drainage pipes and completely destroys this nest's egg room.

Finally, all the nests are destroyed, and so the mission is successfully accomplished.

nCAPTAIN NEMon - EXCITING MOVIE

by David Wildstein - Bunk 9

On July 12, the Junior Camp saw a great movie in the Senior Lodge - "Captain Nemo" starring Chuck Connors.

It was all about what happened to some people whose ship was caught in a storm. They sank to the bottom of the sea and were picked up by men from a gold submarine. The submarine t.ookthem to a turquoise and gold city, far beneath the surface of the ocean.

It was a very exciting movie.

THE uODD COUPLE" REVIEW


The first movie the Seniors saw, was a comedy entitled "The Odd Couple" starring Walter Matthau as Felix Unger, and Jack Lemmon as Oscar Madison.

The movie focused on Felix

and Oscar following their divorce, and Oscar decides to take Felix in to live with him, so that they do could things together and have some fun.

While boring in some spots, on the whole it was a funny movie and played up the different personality of the two friends.

MAH-KEE-NAC'S DR. HOLTZAPPLE ENJOYS WORKING WITH CHILDREN.

By Tommy Lehman-Bunk 33

It was Tuesday, July 13, when the Mah-Kee-Nac tennis team, coached by counselors Jim Kissman and Neil Karadbil, played Camp Greylock in a tennis tournament.

I am sorry to say we lost nine to eight. There weree.ight singles and nine doubles matches.

Some people I know who won, are: Andy Fately, Tom Lehman,Van Ripps and Warren Odette. The game I thought was the best was Andy Fately's and Rom Lehman's.

Before the game, we saw this kid, 5'9 and fat. We taught he must be a great tennis player, but he turned out to be an awful tennis player.

It was a great tournament and it was fun.

By David Wildstein-Bunk 9

Phil Holtzapple, the doctor for the first half of the camp season is in his second year here at Mah-Kee-Nac.

The doctor resides in Philadelphia where he works at the Philadelphia Children's Hospital. He decided to come to Mah-Kee-Nac because here he can enjoy working with children, as well as take advantage of the lake and the tennis courts.

Dr. Holtzapple said that the most serious injury or sickness thus far this summer has been a fractured foot. The most common illnesses he says, are camper colds and counselor sore throats.

SCULLING ADDED TO WATERFRONT PROGRAM

THIS YEAR Camp Mah-Kee-Nac added yet. another feature to its already large Waterfront Program. Two slim, single sculls arrived from England the second week of camp. Constructed of fibreglass and wood, the shells are 18 inches wide, 23 feet long and weigh 40 pounds.

Joe decided to begin an experimental schulling program after being contacted by .Bill Stowe, Olympic Gold Medalist, and member of the u. s. Olympic Rowing Committee.

Man-Kee-Nac is one of two camps in the East participating in the effort to promote sculling and rowing in the United States.

Bob Ferguson, Mah-Kee-Nac's Sculling Instructor, recently graduated from Syracuse University, where he was on the college crew for four years. His specialty was rowing with crews in the fours and eights.

Ian Simpson, swimming instructor, serves as a very able assistant to Bob. Ian, a Scotsman, rowed fours and eights on his high school team, which went on to represent Scotland in the Home International Rowing Meet.

After high school, Ian moved on to Sterling University near Edinburgh, where he organized the college's first rowing club.

Twenty one Mah-Kee-Nac campers are involved with the sculling program.

They are: Phil Richards, Bob Spelke, Bob Barrer, Pete Nager, Bill Kern, David Lubman, Bill Barnard, Jeff Liss, Bob Weinstock, Bruce Winer.

Other scullers a.re: Larry Bruskin, Phil Milton, Mike Wolfson, Harry Miller, Richard Friedlander, David Cantor, Paul Feldman, Jim Shenwick, Chuck Drucker, Scott See, and John Green.

Mah-Kee-Nac's oarsmen are eagerly awaiting a chance to compete with other teams.

~OHICAN CAMPERS pO ON "KOOL-AID" HIKE

by Michael Basson - Bunk 4

A few weeks ago, Bob Nearier and Group B decided to go on a unique Kool-Aid hike. First we went to the "Tripping" closet, and with Harold's consent, we took what we wanted. We took six packs of Kool-Aid, a kanpsack for each boy, a pot for the Kool-Aid, and two 'spoons to mix the Kool-Aid with.

Each person brought his canteen to carry with the other things in his knapsack.

We started walking along the trail behind the dining hall. We traveled along, singing songs, past the big trees and into a little clearing. The clearing was a perfect place for drinking the Kool-Aid, and it provided

a big log to sit on.

We sat down and rested. Then we att.ended to the task of making the Kool-Aid. We mised it by shaking the canteens back and forth. There was enough for everybody, and we drank heartily.

Then Bob decided to teach us to use the hatchet (a small axe). He demonstrated how to hit at an angle, so that the hatchet would have room maneuver and cut most efficiently. He explained how to hold a hatchet correctly, and how to pass it from one person to another. Then he told to try it ourselves. We did, and by the time everyone had tried it., we had cut right through the log.

We cleaned up and started walking back to camp with an experience that would not be forgotten.

Preparation for the Carnival was a good time. Everybody

was looking forward to the Carnival. They were also very busy making their booths and costumes for the Parade.

Each bunk dressed up as something to do with the Circus. Some people dressed up as clowns fatmen, and many others.

Everybody liked the Parade.

The Carnival was a lot of fun. There were many booths there. There were war games, tosses, and games of ski 11 .

If you wanted a Fribble, you would have to stay lined up. There were two kinds of tickets; one was tan for the Fribble

and there was an orange one

for a coke.

After the Carnival, we all cleaned up. The clean-up was very good. It was fun, too. The Bunk that picked up the most amount of trash received 100 prize tickets.

HUGE

SUCC ESS

by Howie Friedner - Bunk 31

Everyone agreed that this year's Carnival was a huge success. Two days before Carnival, preparations began and on Carnival day, Saturday, July 17, when final preparations were to start, we had heavy rains and the weather report was for 70% probability of rain. Therefore, Carnival was postponed until Sunday.

Sunday arrived as a perfect day for the event. Sunday morning frames were set up on the Junior athletic field and each Bunk '"ent to its site to set up its games. Things started shaping up.

Bob Perkel, counselor in charge of this year's Carnival, announced "The .Mah-Kee-Nac Dixieland Band II and the five musicians started tuning-up for their program.

When the parade started, Upper Seniors sat atop the hill below the messhall, as did the judges.

The theme of the parade was "The Circus". Most of the Bunks had clowns and fatmen, some had tall men. As the parade went by the reviewing stand, the Dixieland Band played a selection of lively tunes. The Band included Billy Rapaport, Eric Wollin, Jon Oliver, Bob Perkel and Howie Friedner.

The best parade groups were Bunk 5 with "Arabian Nights" and Bunk 22 with "Glow Wormu• After the parade had ended, Bob Behrman shot the signal gun for the official start of the Carnival.

ERIC ROSENBERG BUSY COUNTING OUT THE TICKETS

Jim Zeiler and the Aides ran the Fribble and soda booth. In the gen ral booth competition, Bunk 4 with "Submarine Captain" and Bunk 29, wi "The Mah-Kee-Nac Slopes" were judge the winners.

There was a "Dunk the Counselor" game; an obstacle course, and many more booths, all a lot of fun.

Finally, at the end of a truly fun-filled day, Bob Perkel announced that there was one minute left to Carnival and soon the gun went off, sounding the end of "Carnival 17111.

Here is the complete list of Carnival booths according to Bunks (special thanks to Seth Harrison for this list):-

Junior Camp had an "Ecology Night" and we saw two movies. One was called "Beaver Dam" and was about beavers and conserva.tion and the balance of nature.

The other movie was called . "Nation of Spoilers". It showed

CHEYENNES VISIT ONOTA FOR A AND B TEAM GAMES

by Billie Echikson - Bunk 30

The Cheyennes went to Camp Onota to compete in two sets of basketball, softball, and soccer games, on Thursday, July 21.

In the A soccer game, Ron Gordenstein was the star. He scored three goals as we won 5-3.

The B soccer game was not a victory, however. In the first half, Mah-Kee-Nac was constantly shooting at Onota's goalie.

We had one penalty kick, but

it was missed. In a big scramble, Onota scored. In the second half, Onota was constantly menacing our goalie, though we hardly threatend theirs.

The A basketball game was played in the morning, with MahKee-Nac winning by more than twenty points.

The B basketball match was more exciting. With five seconds left in the game, we were down by two points. Then, one of our players sunk a foul shot. In the one second remaining, we could do nothing, so we lost by one point.

In the .A softball game, we lost 7-3 due to a great hit by an

Onota player.

The B softball was a disaster.

We were losing 23-0 when we forfeited.

CAMPERS DONATE CARNIVAL MONIES TO ELEVEN AGENCIES

THE LOWER SENIOR CAMP AND UPPER SENIOR CAMP bunk representatives met during the last week of camp to determine the causes to receive contributions from the CarnperWelfare Fund. The Welfare Fund has $655.00 which came from the admissions paid by each camper to the Annual Carnival. All of the expenses of the Carnival were paid for by Camp.

Bob Behrman moderated the evening and gave the background for the discussion. He read the list. of contributions that we made by the campers last summer.

The 23 representatives spent a great deal of time duscussing all of last year's causes which received money, then the representatives heard new suggestions from a number of camper.

All together 11 agencies were selected by the campers. A new one on this year's list was the United States Olympics which received an allocation of $25.00.

An annual contribution has always been voted by the campers for the Pittsfield Boys' Club to provide camper scholarship for the Boys' Club Camp. This year the campers dropped the Lighthouse and added Pakistan Relief to those receiving money from the fund.

The six suggested groups that were not approved, and their supporters are as follows: L.arry Katin - Black Panther Defense Fund; Rich Diamond - JDLi Randy Herman - Lighthouse; David Spanbock - Vistai Eric WollanPeace Corps: Kevin Krich - DARE ldrug control)

They mixed with the girls who were also similarly divided ..

We spent about forty minutes at each activity, which was followed by a very refreshing swim ..

After that we got ready for dinner and the dance. Dinner was chicken, soda and other goodies.

The dance started and the record player went non-stop for two hours. The dance was a success and most of us danced just about every dance.

In this one day, many new friends were made. The saddest part of the evening came at 9:30 when we had

MOVIE ON REVIEW - "MAROONED"


"Marooned" was the senior movie on July 26, and it held the interest of all campers.

In an experimental orbiting space laboratory, the astronauts were ordered to cut their mission short. Ready for re-entry, their rockets failed to fire.

In Mission Control, the professor who played a large role in the mission, wanted to make a rescue attempt. He is refused, but finally, with no winds in the eye of a hurricane, he launches, making a single man rescue attempt.

There is only enough air in the space laboratory for two men. In order that they can all live, one of the astronauts goes outside the capsule and tries to fix the rockets. He purposely rips open his space suit, letting the air escape and giving his life in order that his buddies may live.

The professor, after encountering many difficulties, finally arrives on the scene, and with the help of a Russian Cosmonaut, is able to save the two remaining astronauts, just in time, before their supply of air runs out.

This was a pretty good movie for our camp group and on the whole ranks as one which sustained interest.

by David Hoffman and Eric Rosenberg, Bunk 42

The Algonquin tribe visited Look Park in Northampton and the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, on July 15.

We left camp at about 10 a.m. and headed towards the Basketball Hall of Fame. When we got there we toured through the museum and saw many old uniforms of famous players, and other relics of basketball history.

We stayed there for the morning and saw thlngs such as old baskets, old basketballs, etc.

In the afternoon we went on to Look Park. ~hpr ~e got there, most of us went swimming in the Park's huge swimming pool.

After the swimming, we split up into smaller groups and spent some time walking allover the park. A log of us got into paddle boats which are small boats you paddle to move. We went through a small lake using these paddle boats.

We also went on other rides in the Park and after we all got together again, we went to a diner and had dinner.

After dinner and a relaxing period, we started back to camp.

The trip back to camp was a lot of fun and all in all it was a most enjoyable day, one which all of

MAH-KEE-NAC MAKES FINE SHOWING

IN ANNUAL TAKAJO TENNIS TOURNEYI

by Marshall Wisoff and Phil de Picciotto - Bunk 46

On August 1, a. pre-selected g.roup of Mah-Kee-Nac tennis players left for a five hour journey to Naples, Maine to take part in the Takajo Interstate Tennis Tournament.

Upon arriving at our lodging, a refreshing dip in the lake and a hike to town preceded a delicious dinner. We went to sleep that night amid great expectations of things to come.

Awakening the next morning; we discovered a dismal, unexpected rain which dampened our hopes of playing at all. After breakfast at the camp, to our surprise, we noted that playing tennis was possible -- the courts had dried in under two hours!

In the 14 and under doubles, Mike Marks and Steve Adler won their first match, before dropping a close decision. The first team of Paul Gross and Bernie P1ishtin coasted to the semi-finals, where they were upset.

In the Junior singles, Tom Stern played excellent tennis,

and with the help of a bye reached the finals in the first round.

In the Senior doubles, Rick Stengel and Dave Katzka reached the finals with a display of fine teamwork. The second doubles

t.eam from Ma.h-Kee-Nac, Steve Jones and Marshall wisoff, also reached the finals, aided by an unfortunate default by a Takjo doubles team injury.

This situation set up an all Mah-Kee-Nac final in this division.

In the Senior singles, Bob Davimos coasted into the finals. Phil de Picciotto lost his semifinal match to the future winner, Takajo's Jimmy Greenwald.

The stage was set for the finals to be held the next day.

That night we went out; to see a movie in Bridgeton, entitled "Plaza Suite" which by a general consensus, was a sour flick.

The next day at the finals we were running a close second behind Camp Takajo in total points. victories in the Senior and Junior singles matches would give Mah-KeeNac the team title.

However, the defeat of Tom Stern in a touch match by a score of 6-0, 6-4, and Bob Davimos' loss to the number one Takajo player 6-3, 6-1 resulted, despite some fine strategy on Bobls part.

In the Senior doubles, Steve Jones and Marshall Wisoff defeated Rick Stengel and Dave Katzka (their Mah-Kee-Nac team-mates) by a score of 6-4, 6-4.

When the final points were tabulated, Takaj,o had won by a narrow six point margin over MahKee-Nac. Camp Greylock was third.

After a brief awards ceremony, we left to return to camp happy

and proud of our fine showing in the tournament and the good fellowship we had enjoyed.

The Juniors have learned a lot about biology. We have learned about frogs and unit bivalves and a.lgae. We learned some of it through movies and some of it through Bob Nearier.

We have gone on a lot of hikes allover a half mile radium, learning about different things we can find.

A few weeks ago, Bob taught us to stalk in the woods. He said that we could stalk a deer for three miles' if we become good at it.

On one hike, we took a new path and stumbled on to a road. We followed the r oad for a while., Then Matt Evans and Paul Orland found a snake in the grass (the biggest snake of the summer). When they came back to camp, both of them won the IIFind of the Dayll award.

Bob is glad that so many Juniors have been trying for IIFind of the Dayll awards,but he would like to see more interest in the Nature Quiz.

The audio visual aids in the Nature Shack help, too. For instance, the insect quiz board helped a lot of people learn about insects.

Many times Bob has r'ead stories to us on hikes. Other times, we picked blueberries and raspberries.

Bob just started a Nature Crafts program. Nature Crafts is an art using natural materials. For instance, we have built houses with sticks, made designs with leaves, stones and seeds.

The Iroquois are making a table. The Mohicans have a ladder that they have made, and the Apaches are making a swing with the other Junior tr Lbes •

I think that Bob has helped us a lot.

DELIGHTS JUNIOR CAMP

by Richard Kahn - Bunk 2

The entire Junior Camp saw the movie. "Tom Sawyer" on Tue.sday, .August 3. It was a most enjoyable evening, full of adventure.

Tom Sawyer kept doing silly things and was often punished for his pranks.

Because of a dead cat that Tom had brought to bury at midnight, he found himself witnessing a murder. Tom later testified at the trial and when he accused Indian Joe as being the murderer, the defendant threw a knife at Tom, and fled the courtroom.

Some time later, Tom went on a picnic and a hayride to an old cave. He and his girl friend separated from the group and explored the old cave, but were trapped by a sudden rock slide. Trying to find a way out, Tom found some gold pieces and was then attacked. by Indian Joe. Tom kill~d him by throwing a brass door-knocker at the villain and caused him to fall into a bottomless pit.

Soon afterward, Tom found an opening, and he and his friend joined' their group outside the cave.

ASTRONOMY FOCUSES AT MAH*KEE*NAC ~TELESCOPE - CAMERA PULLS IN PLANETS

by Eric Wollan - Bunk 30; John Bean - and Craig Pogosky - Bunk 23

This year at Mah-Kee-Nac, another new program is the astronomy program. Besides having one of the golf counselors, Jay Sulkowsky, as an astronomer, Joe bought a 6 inch reflecting telescope with a clock drive attachment.

In ca.se you wonder what a c l.ock drive does, it follows ·the movement of whatever the telescope is focused on. We also have a camera that we are using to take pictures of the moon, Jupiter, Mars, and possibly Saturn.

Through this telescope we can see the craters on the Moon, and the cloud belts and red spots on Jupiter. Recently we saw four of the twelve moons of Jupiter.

Some other campers who are deeply interested in the program re: Bobby Litvak, Kenny Epstein, Russ Weisman, Jordan Kislak, Neil Shapiro, Brad Nager, Peter Raider, Andy Lobsenz and Danny Brodoff.

Other campers who are interested in astronomy should contact Jay Sulkowsky in Bunk 21. .

The entire Lower Senior Camp went on a trip to Albany, on Thursday, August 5, visiting a radio station, a TV station and the State Capitol building where Governor Rockefeller has his offices.

The Lower Seniors were split into two groups: A Group and B Group. I was in the B Group, so I'll tell you about everything that the B Group did, and then I'll tell you what the A Group did.

First, we went to a radio station -WRPI, and that is run by students of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, N. Y.

They play an unusual type of rock.

We were shown how they broadcast,

and it was an interesting experience, which we enjoyed.

When we left the TV station, we went to the state Capital building and had a guided tour of the building. We saw where the Senate and Assembly meets.

Group A saw a different TV station, WRGB, Channel 6, located in Schenectady.

After that, Group A visited radio station WTRY-AM in Troy.

Following the visits to the two stations, Group A saw the State Capital building as well.

This comic western adventure, starred Paul Newman as "Butchll and Robert Redford as liThe Kidll•

Shown for the Senior camp on August 3, the movie proved to be funny from the very first scene to the last.

The main plot started with Butch's gang - the IIHole in the Nalill gang, robbing a train. As the train was robbed before, the owner of the money being delivered by the train, set up a trap for Butch by sending a second train to follow the first, full of armed men, to track down Butch and

the Kid.

Butch and the Kid were tracked across every kind of obstacle but always managed to escape capture.

With the Kid's girl friend, they took a ship to Bolivia to escape the authorities. They made a chain of easy robberies, including one where they held up a party of men delivering a payroll.

They took one of the mules from the group that they had robbed and while eating one day, in a small town, a local boy noticed the brand on the mule.

The police finally called in a division of the Bolivian Army to end the activit.ies of Butch and the Kid, once and for all. Butch and the Kid were badly wounded following the first fight with the police, but made one last attempt to escape, only to find hundreds of men shooting at them in three fatal volleys.

One of the songs in the film "Raindrops Keep Falling" by Burt Bachrach was very popular.

Bob Nearier, the Nature Counselor thought the sign was great.

On Bunk B' s and Bunk 10' s nature hike, we walked through the Bullard Woods. On the way , Matt Evans and I caught a garter snake.

It was huge, and when we got back to camp, we found out that it was the biggest garter caught all summer. I was very much surprised.

Many things - Well, many people are making animals like red squirrels, etc, The easiest one which I am working on is the deer moose. One of the hardest which Freddie Fogel is making, in the woodchuck. What you do is take bark, all different kinds, especially Birch bark, and you make the animals out of that. Clever, isn't it? Sometimes you use acorns for the eyes.

Now some people aren't doing

that and they're making paper weights. Also, if you're tired and don't feel well or don't want to work on anything, you can look at the animals

or do something else in the nature shop.

Phil Carruthers is a. nice guy and will help you if you are having a hard time on something. We'll·· be working on other things, but for the time being, we're working on these things. I have fun, and if you come over, I think you will, too.

When Bunk 13 has Nature, sometimes we do nature crafts. When we do, we paint rocks and make signs about pollution. It is always fun.

The second time we did nature crafts, I did not want to do it because it was so hot. I wanted to go into the woods for shade, but it was fun anyway.

So far, I'eve painted at least five rocks. I have made two signs.

Nature crafts is something that Bob Nearier, the Junior nature counselor wants you to do.

You can either write a sign abou ecology or pollution, or any other thing to do with nature.

If you want to, you can paint something or draw it. To do this, you can use pebbles, sticks, and seeds. It's lots of fun.

The Mozart pieces conducted by Colin Davis were: nKyrie in D Minor", which was sung by the chorua: "Piano Concerto in C" performed by Stephen Bishop, and the last number was Mozart!s famous IIRequiem in D Minor" sung by the Chorus.

Between the concerto and the Requiem there was an intermission.

Most of us broused around the beautiful grounds of Tanglewood. The grass is very well kept, with statues and beautiful trees dotting the area.

A gong signalled the end of the intermission and the start of the final number, The Requiem.

When it was over, the people gave an overwhelming burst of applause .•

The campers from Mah-Kee-Nac attending the concert included everyone from Bunk 26, some Upper Seniors, and several members of Bunk 31. It was a "once-in-alifetime" experience for all.

In the Senior camp, after a poor attempt at the cheer, the Navajos came back to win the Sing. Though the Cheyennes gave a great showing in both Sing and Cheer, they were only able to grab the Cheer.

The judges for the event were: Dr. Philip Holtzapple, Mike Pugh and Steve Grieger.

Before the Sing, the Juniors got to work, practicing all the time. to get started were the Lower Seniors, slowly, but surely, and last to prepare, slowly, but not so surely, were the Upper Seniors.

Before the results were announced, tension was in the a.Lr, Everyone was silent, and then the silence was broken by the Mohicans celebrating the winning of the Junior Cheer.

Bob announced one result after the other, and now we wait until next year to repeat what we experience in the "Sing" this year.

On Sunday, July 25, six campers and one counselor were part of an awed audience attending the concert of the Boston Symphony Orchestra performance of "Missa Solemnis" with Leonard Bernstein conducting.

It's just unbelievable to watch him conduct. He jumps around and flings his arms and sometimes

sets his wrists moving faster than the drummer's.

GREYLOCK TAKES MAH-KEE-NAC INVITATIONAL

OUR TENNIS PLAYERS SECOND IN TEAM SCORE

The annual Mah-Kee-Nac .Invi tational Tennis Tournament again produced fine tennis and stirring matches, with Camp Greylock repeating its team victory of 1970 by taking the team trophy. Mah-Kee-Nac,winner last year, was second. Camp Lenox, Camp Taconic, and Camp Winadu finished in that order.

This tournament is geared to involve 21 campers from each camp, and the early matches were finished on Thursday, July 29, and rain forced postponement of the finals on Friday. The finals were held on Saturday, August 7.

Mah-Kee-Nac I s winners in final matches were from t.he Lower Senior Camp for the first time. Billy Echikson and Eric WoIlan played wonderful tennis t.oqe t.hez and ended up by winning the doubles in the under 12 year old group.

Then Mike Waldman, also 11 years old, went past two opponents

and then captured the finals in the singles of the under 12 division.

It was the work of these three younger - but up-and-coming-tennis . stars that brought Mah-Kee-Nac into second place in the team scoring.

There were three divisions of play - under 16'5; under 14's and under 12's.

One Junior Camp player participa.ted. He was Andy Goldbaum, 10 years old, the youngest player in the tournament. He teamed with Brian Marks in the under 12 doubles. They won the first match, and lost the second.

Mark Mintz and Mark Rogovin were the other l1under 12" Mah-KeeNac players.

In the under 14 group, our singles representatives were Paul Gross, Andy Brody and Seth Price; and the two doub.le s teams were Ira Rubin, Mike Adesman, and Steve Altschuler and Jon Brauer.

The under l6's had Tommy Stern and Jimmy Hochberg as a doubles team, and they went to the semi-finals. The other doubles team was Jon Roth and Steve Jones. The three singles players were Bernie Plishtin,

Joe Abrams and Bob Davimos, who lost to the Greylock players who

took the older boy singles title.

NEW DARK ROOM ATTRACTS CAMPERS TO PHOTOGRAPHY

by Finley Shapiro - Bunk 39

After two years in a trailer, the photo department at Camp Mah-Kee-Nac moved this summer next to WCM into a newly constructed dark room in the Communications building.

With a fully equipped dark room, the photo counselor this year, Rick Panzer, was well prepared to teach the art of photography. The boys learned to develop and print their own pictures.

Several seniors, Kevin Krich, Fred Fogel, Russ Weisman, Bob Litvak, Richie Scheyer, Howie Friedner, John Rosen, Lenny Russell, Robert Silver, John Eisenberg, Ken Marks and Louis Brawer, helped to film the traditional camp movie shown at the banquets at the end of the summer.

Some of the campers' photos were so good that they were included in the exhibition in the library the last day of camp. Six juniors, Alan Lewis, Robert Wagner, David Basson, John Perkoff, Steve Mendal and Andy Behrman; and five seniors, Robert Berkman, Robert Klingon, Steve Eisenberg. Bill Kern, and Eric Rosenberg, contributed photographs for the show.

The new dark room is 12 feet x 20 feet. and contains a fully equipped developing room, with water heater and fan, a separate printing room, and an entrance area for discussions.

by David Weinstein - Bunk 29

August 6, 1971 actually marked the first day of the 1971 Mah-Kee-Nac Olympics. This day cons Ls t.ed mainly of team breakdown and practice for the next day's "Water Olympics" which will be the first actual day of competition.

The eight teams will compete in many different activities such as swimming races, boating races and others.

The captains of the eight teams are: #1 - Paul Golombi #2 - Gary Kowalsky; #3 - John Katulak;

#4 - Jim Kissman; #5 - Curley Wells: #6 - Bill Carter; #7 - Ed Ladley; #8 - Chris Fletcher.

After the announcement of the team captains, all campers were then divided into their respective eight teams.

As the final preparation for the Water Olympics were made, all eight teams made many small changes, hoping that these alterations would help their team to victory.

The Water Olympics alone cannot mean victory for one team, as next week's Land events will definitely decide the winner.

When the Water Olympics were completed" the eight teams carne to the Land Olympics with the scores as follows:

And the Winners are - 47~ Mountain Oysters - 43 Minny-Mac Mutineers - 36 Wet and wild-20

Oops - 25

Amen - 24

1.Q. 's - l3~

Thus all eight teams had a chance to win the Olympic title by doing well in the Land Olympics, but in the end, the W1nners turned out to be the "Mountain Oysters."

In the first morning event, "Mountain Oysters" captured the Lower Senior Camp Volleyball contest Then the Shot Put event was won by David Seaman.

The Ping Pong contests we r e exciting with Paul Holtzman capturing the Junior Ping Pong Tournament, and David Katzka coming through to win the Upper Senior Ping Pong Tournament for "Let's Face It".

"Amen" then won fifteen points by winning the Rope Pull in an exciting match. So as the morning ended, "Mountain Oysters" had a 9~ point lead over "Let's Face It".

With the Olympics score so close, the final outcome would be decided in the Decathlon and the Marathon, events which would end the Olympics.

The afternoon events started with the short dashes, the sack relays, and then the Tribal Relays. The highlights of the dashes was the Seneca-Aide dash. It was a very close race, but Tommy Stern just nosed out Jimmy Gluckson for his first Mah-Kee-Nac victory.

The 440 yard run was one of the most exciting of the day. Mitch Rein just edged out Bob Davimos at the finish, as Bob dove over the finish line in exhaustion. A great race!

At this time lIMountain Oysters 11 and "Let's Face It" were starting to pull away from the other teams. When all the points were totaled

up before the Marathon I "Let's Face It" had a slim 4 point lead. "Let's Face It" had no chance of taking any points in the Decathlon, so the Marathon was their only hope.

On Sunday, August 15, the Camp MahKee-Nac baseball team took the field

against Winadu. Mah-Kee-Nac opened the scoring in the game on a Tom Stern walk, a Robby Kaye single, and a Jim Hochberg double.. The momentum chan ged asWinadu scored three runs in the top of the second. They went on to win by a score of 8 - S.

OLYMPICS (continued)

The Decathlon was one of the closest in the history of camp. Each team sends one man to perform 10 events and he scores by the number in which he flnishes an event.

The Decathlon entries were: Steve Goldman of "Amen"; Ken Marks of "Oops"; Robbie Kaye of "Mountain Oysters"; Jon Roth of nAnd The Winners Are"; Mike Wolfson of "Let's Face It"~ Bob Spelka of "Wet and Wildll; Ron Kalafa of "I.Q. "5" and Jim Hochberg of UMinny-Mac Mutineersll.

The Decathlon was not decided until the 100 yard dash. Jim Hochberg came in second and gained enough points to win the Decathlon4

Robbie Kaye took a fourth, but got enough points fo,r "Mountain Oysters" to forge into first place.

"Mountain Oysters" won the Marathon on the great running of the Marks Brothers, Brian and Michael. Michael got his team a 10 yard lead on the first leg, but they dropped back

to second, until Jim Gluckson got the baton and put his team first

in his 220 leg of the relay.

David Seaman then came down the hill to give it to Brian Marks,

and Brian ran down the track for an "Mountain Oyster" victory in Mah-KeeNac's 1971 Olympics.

The Archery Program finished a fine season with three Upper Senior campers and four Lower Senior campers passing their American Archer (highest award 100 points at 5('1 vards, in 30 arrows). Besides regular scoring at targets, Counselor John Mateo added attractions like field arche.ry at animal face.s, archery golf and a round of archery tic-tac-toe.

Camp bought new wood bows and these made shooting very enjoyable, even at fifty yards. We hope we can have more for next year.

The outstanding achievements in 1971 were: A score of 48 points out of a possible 59 points in 6 arrows; achieved by Steven Eisenberg, a Cheyenne, and the highest round score in 30 arrows was 200 points at 20 yards and 200 points at 30 yards by Alan Schlein, a Cherokee. Phil Carruthers, the Nature. Counselor made his American Archer.

Eight campers and two counselors left from camp ~t about 8:30 A.M. on Augusta for the Mt. Washington camping trip.

We travelled about three hours, until we came to a place where w~ stopped for cokes and lunch.

Then we travelled on to Jigger Johnson Campground, where. we spent the night.

Next morning, we headed for the Appalachian Trail. While we were waiting for Bob to park the van, we met a man who was walking the trail from Georgia to Maine. He had started in March and had gone over 1600 miles.

We met him again later, where we spent the night - in the mitzvah hut. .

On the first day of the hike, we walked about seven miles over the Webster Cliffs, Mt. Webster, (el. 3910) and Mt. Jackson,

(el 4052). We beat the average hiking time for this stretch (five hours) by making it in just

over four hours. -

We stayed at the mi t.zva hut for the night. The .Mitzvah hut

is a hut set up on the Appalachian Trail for hikers. At the hut we met some experienced hikers who shared some of their experiences with us.

The next morning, after a pq_ncake .breakfast, we climbed Mt. Clinton (el. 4312), Mt. Pl~asant (el.43l2) Mt. Franklin (el. 5004) and Mt. Monroe (el. 5385)

We also stopped at Lakes of the Clouds before sta;rting our ascent of the big one - Mt. Washington, (el. 6288).

It was a very hard cl~b, but everybody enjoyed it.

When we reached the top, we

~ent to the restaurant, and after about an hour, began the descent to Tuckerman I s Rav.ine, two miles away. It was a hard bit of walking, because it was above timerllne, over bare rock.

L-to-R: D1CK Jones, Bob Morissette, David Dean.

When we were about halfway down, we found some snow and had a small snowball fight. On arriving at T'uckerman, we found that there was no more room for us, so we went on to the bottom of Washington. Then we camped .out in a field by the Ledge, on the base of the mountain.

In the morning, we ate breakfast at the Lodge. Then we headed back to Jigger Johnsen. We got there in the midst of a pouring rain, so we ate our ·lunch in the van and under a tarp. The rain stopped in an hour.

That night we had a great steak dinner, with tossed salad, garlic bread, baked beans and Keo1 Aid. After dinner we picked blueberries which we used te make blueberry pancakes the next morning.

When morning came, we had pancakes again, and started cur trip back to camp.

The hikers who made the trip were: David Goldberg, Bill Kern, Richard Waxman, Tom Kass, Robert Barrer, ~eid Lifset, David Dean and Jeff Marks.

The trip was ably supervised by counselors Dick Jones and Bob Morissette who organized the trip and handled all the details 5.0 that the trip was a wonderful experience for those who were fortunate enough to be able to be a part of it.

A new trip for the Aides was added to this summer's program when our six Aides voted to visit five colleges, and to have an orientation meeting with Admission officers at the respective colleges.

Led by counselor Gary Kowalsky, a graduate student in College Personnel Administration, these six Aides were on the-trip:

Steve Goldman, David Katzka, Jimmy Epstein, Phil de Picciotto, Marshall Wisoff and Mark Altschuler.

The first stop was at where the group had a ative of the college. had an opportunity to aspects of experience

Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., chance to ~pend much time with a representAs in all of the other visits, our Aides ask pertinent questions and lear~ all

at each college.

The group then travelled on to New Haven to spend the evening. The next morning was devoted to a. visit to Yale University and to meeting again with an Admissions representative. Gary then drove the .Aides to Providence for an afternoon visit at Brown University. The group then went on to spend the night in Boston.

The next morning the group devoted themselves to a fine visit at Harvard University and after that headed toward camp, with a stop in the afternoon at Clark University at Worcester, for their final college campus visit.

All 'of the Aides felt strongly that this was not only a most enjoyable trip, but that it had great value for them in te.rms of learning in depth about each college, and gaining the experience of a college interview in preparation for their future needs.

VISITOR FROM GHANA TALKS TO CAMPERS

by Er1C Rosenberg, Bunk 42

For the Upper Sen10r post-Services discussion, we were lucky enough to have a first-hand view of Africa from an intelligent citizen's point of view. Kjell Gjermstad's good friend from an American class for foreign teachers came to visit Kjell at camp. He was Mike Munkata, a high school teacher in Ghana, and a man involved in helping his community.

Mike opened his talk by teaching us two words of African which we never had to use: ke+ke - "Ar e you bored?", and "je" "yes". He proceeded into--a factual outline of Africa, taking in geography, history, population, religion and miss1onaries, tribalism, and the idea of a united Africa.

Mike said the only way for Africa to stop being stripped of its resources with no benefit for the common ma.n is to unite and start industry.

There were severa.l interesting questions from the floor when he was finished, such as whether the Af.ricans are politically satisfied. Mike said they were too apathetic because of years of foreign rule to even caz e about government.

The speech received rousing applause, and people kept him busy answering questions. One book he recommended was "Of Human Bondage", a reading of which would help understanding.

LSC RADIO BINGO

Lower Senior Camp had a Radio Bingo contest instead of a planned Bunk Night due to sudden rain.

There were thirty records. On four of them we were supposed t.o list the singer, and with the other records we were to give the name of the song.

Bunk 34 won. I hope that this game is used again as it proved to be an enjoyable experience for Lower Senior Camp.

JUNIOR CAMP STAFF WIN SOCCER GAME

A doubly unique situation in the history of soccer at Mah-Kee-Nac occurred last week, when counselors from the Junior Camp played the Senior Camp counselors and beat them, 4 - L

Both sides played defensely until the middle of the tough first half, when Rich Rubin scored a blazing goal from the left side, after an assist from Mick Tessar as.

After that, the game went completely downhill for the overated Seniors. Goals by John Tuckett and again by Rich Rubin proved to be an overwhelming obstacle to the Sen iors.

Superb defense, inspired by Steve Reichman's defensive performance as goalie, fired an already psyched-up Junior team.

The specta.cular 4 - 1 victory proved to be very exciting, especially to the hoarse-throated Junior campers.

After the game, Steve was voted Most Valuable Player by both teams and the spectators. And thus was recorded another exciting game of soccer in the annals of camp.

The Mah-Kee-Nac senior softball team set out for Camp Winadu on August 9, for a twilight contest.

The team consisting of Algonquins, Senecas and Aides, had high hopes of victory, but our fate was as dark as the dim horizon.

We previously defeated this team at Mah-Kee-Nac stadium, but, on their own playing area, things turned out differently.

A few fielding errors, both physical and mental, and a lack of strong hitting, helped contribute to the 6-1 defeat, the first of the surruner for the usually victorious Mah-Kee-Nac team. It was a disappointing ending, as Winadu avenged an earlier 12-0 loss.

32 JUNIOR CAMPERS EXPLORE LAKE - SEE ISLAND - WATERFALL - BATTLE.

by Michael Steinlauf - Bunk 1

On Thursday, August 5, the Waterfront staff organized a trip on the lake. The trip went around an island and down a narrow part of the lake (it was more like a river) •

Our fleet consisted of two war canoes, one aluminum canoe, and two small motorboats. The 32 junior campers chosen for the trip were led by six Counselors.

When we stopped, we went to a dried-out waterfall. Over it was a bridge. We threw rocks across the span and had a good time.

On the way back, Rich Starkey's war canoe had a water fight with the other (Bob Kopeckey's) war canoe. It was fun but we had two inches of water in the canoe and ended up being towed back to

camp.

The Cherokees went to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, New York, on August 8th and 9th. They saw a baseball game and went to the Baseball Harne of Fame Museum. They also saw the Dedication Ceremonies when former baseball stars were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

I was given the W.C.M. cassette tape recorder to tape the Induction Ceremonies. On Monday at 10 a.m. the ceremonies began. I had to find a public address speaker to stand under. I taped 98% of the ceremony. The other 2% I spent switching tapes when they ran out.

It came out pretty well and was played over WCM. at camp , We tried to qet an inverview with Satchel Paige, who was inducted, but we couldn't get near him.

After the ceremonies were over, we all had lunch. After lunch we wenx to the baseball game at Doubleday Field. It was between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians.

We had some left over tape so Ron Glassman and I taped the game. The Cleveland Indians defeated the Chicago Cubs. The final score was 13-5

On August 5, the Juniors had a special treat and went to Pittsfield to see "Pinocchio" and "Run, Appaloosa, Run". They went because it had been raining for several days and because it was trip day.

When we got there, we got 25¢ each to spend on popcorn, soda or c ndy.

Pinocchio was a walking puppet who turned into a donkey. He saved his father from a whale. Pinocchio was helped by his friend, Jimminy Cricket. The fox and the cat were his enemies. Because he saved hlS father from the whale, he turned lnto a real boy.

"Run, Appaloosa, Run" was abou.t

a horse named Holy Smoke. Holy Smoke had to run in a race, and that was the best part of the movie.

Senecas Go On Three Day Trip to Boston

by Mike Wolfson - Bunk 45

The Seneca Tribe went to Boston on the annual traditional three day trip. The dates were August 10

to 12th.

On the first day we stopped off at Brandeis University for lunch and a tour of the athletic facilities. That night we had a fantastic dinner at the world-famous Anthony's Pier 4.

On the next morning we took a tour of Harvard University. After dinner we went to a Boston Red Sox vs. Oakland baseball game at Fenway Park. Oakland led by Vida Blue won 3 - 2 in 10 innings.

On the final day we stopped off for a look at the Bost.on Museum

of Science, before returning to camp. Counselors Ed Ladley and Rich Chichetti directed the trip.

INIvATlIAE

by Kenny Fisher - Bunk 13

On our nature hike, we did many things. We caught five butterflies, two moths, and one caterpillar.

We also found some limestone. The counselor told us that millions of years ago, Mah-Kee-Nac was under a sea. The animals with shells died, and natural cement stuck them together ..

We learned important things about nature study. One was Biology means "Study of Life" - bio means IIlife" and TO'gy means lito study'll. A second was Aesthetics, which means the beauty of life.

Today we found'a rare fungus that looks like a red pancake. We also found some raspberries and moss. We also found a little hut made out of hay. we went into a pasture and found some ripe strawberries, a cricket and a hole big enough to hold a raccoon.

Yest.erday we put some peanut butter on the g.round. Today we went back and it was gone.

We heard an Indigo Bunting" one of the most beautiful birds. We also found some lichens. Lichens are little microscopic plants.

We found some spittlebug spit. Sometimes they spit ·for the spit of it, and sometimes they spit for e,ggs. We found +hat; moss and ferns are two of the five varieties of plants which do not need seeds.

I think that everybody learned a lot from the nature hikes.

STICKS AND STONES BECOME FINE ART IN HANDS OF JUNIORS

CAMPERS EXCITED ABOUT CATCHING FROGS: NATURE CRAFTS

by Chip Myers - Bunk 1

Nature crafts are art made almost completely out of natural things like sticks, stones, etc.

You can make almost anything with sticks and stones. If you want to make some nature crafts, ask Bob Nearier, and he'll show you some made by the Mohicans. One of them is mine.

Go to the table in front of

Joe's cabin. Bob will give you some paper and some glue, and you'll make your own nature craf·ts.

THAT LI'L OLD CRAYFISH CA.TCHER by Jon Davimos - Bunk 10

Sunday I caught a snapping turtle. Then I caught six crayfish.

by Tim Zach - Bunk 10

I go to nature a lot. It's fun. We catch frogs and minnows, and somet.imes we make nature crafts.

We do on hikes to meadows and through the woods. We also find fossils and catch crayfish.

by Kenny Palmer - Bunk 11

When Bunk 11 went on a nature hike, we found a dried-Up stream.

We walked up the stream. We fourd a puddle with a big rock beside it, and on the rock was a dead frog •.

We went on and found a tree that was lying across the stream with roots in the ground. It was still living.

Then we found a huge rock. Bob felt under it and said, IIIt's an unde.rground stram II. We started back and found mushrooms and made prints.

TWISTS ON CAMP-OUTS

by Steve Naide and David Roodberg This year, almost every Bunk had twists on camp-outs.

To make twists, first you open fue can and wrap the dough around a st Then you put it over a fire, and coo it for about 25 minutes.

Then it t~rns hard and golden brown, and it is ready to eat.

Some people think it tastes like bagels and some people think it tastes like rye bread.

WITH FUN, MUSIC AND MUCH EXCITEMENT PREVAILING •••••

John Tuckett served as Master of Ceremonies and developed the program. Clem Laird set up the table pieces.

BANOUET

The Juniors enjoyed taking over the entire Dining Hall, with tables in banquet style, with paper tablecloths and center pieces.

The program started in great fashion with songs and guitar playing by Vicki Lewin (our Dr. Edwin Lewin's wife). She sang songs "Michael Row the Boat Ashore" i II I Know an Old Lady"; II Kumbya , My Lord".

Then came the three Tribal cheers that the groups presented at the Annual Camp Sing. The Mohicans and Apaches gave their cheers~ Billy Rapaport led the Mohican cheer. The Iroquois tribe presented its winning song

of the Tribal Sing again. This was written to the tune of IIGlory, Glory Hallelujah". Jon Oliver led the entire group in singing IlBanana Baby".

Next came scenes from the successful Junior Camp production of "Peter Pan" including Todd Scarce as Captain Hook singing with his pirates. The pirates were: Andy Behrman, Steven Schnur, Marc Boxer, Aaron Shapiro,

Jeff Lewis, William Oppenheimer, Lee Weiser, John Perkoff, Michael Steinlauf, Robert Cooperman, Adam Lazarus, Paul Orland, Tommy Echikson, John Kirshtein and Brlan Gordon.

Mohican Group Leader Paul Golomb then sang "Poisoning the Pidgeons" which was a great hit in the opening Camp Fire,. at the beginning of the summer.

,

Then came a movie taken by campers under Rich Panzer's direction, of the special events and camp activities, and the campers enjoyed seeing themselves on the screen.

John Tuckett led the entire group at the end, with the singing of "Thank You Very Much II •

Mah-Kee-Nac's Iroquois and Mohican tribes travelled to Pittsfield on July 29 to visit the New England Telephone Company and Radio Station WBRK.

At the Telephone Company, we saw a large room where the switchboards are located. It had a lot of wires, lights and names of places on it.

Then we went to the Information Center.

Next we went into a huge room with thousands of wires. We saw how telephone connections are made when somebody dials a nwnber.

BUNK 11 T.AKES LONG AWAITED CAMP-OUT

by Martin Stein and Robbie Laug - Bunk 11

When Bunk 11 went on its camp-out, everyone was very excited. Because of rain, we had waited eight

extra days.

When we were told we were going at last, we jumped for joy .• We got our things together and made t.wo trips to the campsite.

When we had settled down, we ate our food. Bob Nearier cooked most of our food. Jeff Paul cooked our french fries. They were just a little mushy.

After eating, we took a walk.

We followed a road and it led back to the campsite. Thenwe went to evening activity.

The activity was hobby-lobby and our whole bunk went to nature. Then we got our snack.

We used a shortcut to get back to the tents. Then our counselor told us some stories, while we toasted marshmallows.

Next morning we carried our things back to the bunk.

At WBRK we split up into Bunks and started a tour. In one room we saw a lot. of tape recorders and other types of machines.

In the teletype room we saw several machines which gave out news stories on long strips of yellow paper. The guide gave us some of it. We also received free records.

On the way back we stopped at Friendly's for treats. The thing I .remember most clearly is Randy Kahn's icecream falling off the cone ..

After a romping game of tag, we boarded the buses back to camp.

LOWER SENIOR CAMP HOLDS COUNCIL MEETING

The Lower Senior's Camper Council met on August 3, for a review of its recommendations of prior meetings.

The feeling was unanimous that the new program of boats and ship models was a great idea. It was suggested that it be continued and more models be obtained.

Airplanes and sports cars are most popular. A wide assortment of paints were recommended.

The handling of tennis balls is working out fine, and everyone seems to be satisfied.

A fourth ping pong table on the campus was recommended.

One representative commented that he liked the new Buddy Boards and the new system at waberfront.

Representatives attending were:

Larry Bruskin, Bunk 21; Pet~r Berg, 22; Dave Bagdan, 23; Andy Schwartz, 24; Michael Waldman, bunk 25; Jeff Langendorff, 26; Seth Harrison of 27; Bruce Winer, 28; Jon Rich, 29; Eric Wollan 30; Chuck Drucker, 31; Danny Zach, 32; Richard Schwager, 33 and Larry Katin from bunk 34.

The play itself, dealt with Joe Kruger, director of the new co-ed Mah-Kee-Nac in the near future.

Unfortunately, the baseball team has been in a losing slump and Joe wished that somehow a new champion bal player would appear to lead Mah-Kee-Nac to victory, once again.

Out of nowhere, the Devil appears and offers to change Joe back to age 15, in exchange for his soul.

Joe, being quite intelligent, asks for an "escape clausell to

get out of the strange deal in case he doesn't wish to continue with the Devil's agreement.

A final "escape date" is set, and Joe appears on the Mah-Kee-Nac campus as the "young Joe" whose fantastic baseball abilities all but stun the campus.

Mah-Kee-Nac is led on to triumph by Joe's inspiring playing, but Joe finally decides that his true life, and his only love, Frances, are all that's worth living for. He then breaks the contract with the Devil, and returns, older, yet happier, to his loving wife and the real world that is his.

"That's Not The Mah-Kee-Nac Way" starred Mah-Kee-Nac campers. Jon Oliver and Don Jenkins worked on the play with the boys here for three weeks, while at Camp LenoreOwaissa, Bonnie Weitzenkorn and Gladys Parker worked with the girls.

On August 12, there was a dress rehearsal with the gir Is. It.worked out great. While this took place, Clement Laird, our scenic and technical director, worked with Mike Zucker, Philip Milton, Rob Shore, Mike Marks and Joe Abrams on scenery and thinqs like that, backstage.

As Lhis took place, Mike Pezzulo, Louis Brawer, Jeff Wisoff, brothers

"THAT'S NOT THE MAH-KEE-NAC WAY" proved to be a most successful Senior Camp Musical. It was put on for two days, August 13 and 14. The first night was for the Lower Seniors and the Cherokees. The following night was for the rest of the camp and

all of Camp Lenore-Owaissa girls ..

The play was adapted by the Mah-Kee-Nac Drama Director, Jon Oliver from the stage play "Damn Yankees".

"That's Not The Mah-Kee-Nac Way" starred a number of Mah-Kee-Nac campers. Richard Numeroff was one of the surprises, doing exceedingly well in the role of the older Joe. Outstanding also was Warren Odette who played the Devil. David Harmon strode the stage with real aplomb as Wes in charge of the team.

The girls from Lenore-Owaissa who played very strong leads were Lor~ Landowne as Frances and Camille West, as Lola.

The show was rewritten by Jon Ol~ver as a satire, and the emphasis was on fun. Every camper who tried out for the cast was given a part.

The singing parts were handled very well by both the boys and the girls, and the shoeless Joe dance number was very well received by the audience.

Jon included songs from five different Broadway shows, songs

that he thought the cast would enjoy sing~ng and the audience would enjoy hearing. Among the hit songs were:

"Hello, Joey" from "Hello Dolly":

"Put on a Happy Facell from "Bye Bye Birdie"; IILola Gets What Lola Wants" from "Damn Yankees"; "Chi Chi Face" from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang",

and "Look to the Ra~nbow" from "Finian's Rainbow".

BUNK 7 SLEEPS-OUT SEES SHOOTING STARS

by David Schwartz - Bunk 7

Junior Camp's Bunk 7 went on its second campou.t on August 12.

The food Bob Nearier cooked was great! We had twist and hamburgers.

We had a "counselor pile-onll and saw 29 shooting stars. It was a very clear night, and the atmosphere was perfect.

We got an award from Bob for being the .first bunk to completely clean up the campsite. There wasn't a speck of garbage or pollution in sight.

We got to use the IIlean-to" tents which everyone agreed are better than the regular tents.

Ron Feldman, Dave Roodberg, Jon Davimos, Dave Schwartz, and Counselor Alan Rudolph used the first lean-t0, Mark Sass, Jeff Rummelsberg, Steve Naide, Willy Portnoy, David Steinweg and Counselor Chuck Partusch were in the second lean-to.

We stayed up late, sitting around our campfire and enjoyed it.

"That's Not The Mah-Kee-Nac Way" (continued)

We all waited for the two days when we would finally be on stage .. It came and went like a comet. It was great and a whole lot of fun.

MAH-KEE-NAC LOSES

CLOSE SWIM MEET - 100-97


After being postponed on a Tuesday because of rain, Mah-Kee-Nac had its first Swim Meet on a Friday, against Camp Onota. Our team was coached by Ross Golding.

The first race was won by Onota, by one body length. Mark Mintz took the first victory for Mah-Kee-Nac. Onota has one of the strongest camp swim teams in this area. Midway through the meet, an upset victory seemed very possible. Our waterfront men and one of Onota's judged the meet.

with three races left, Onota had a slim lead. Onota and Mah-.Kee-Nac split the first two races and Onota won the last. The final score was Mah-Kee-Nac 97, and Cnota 100.

Larry Kellam was the captain

of the winning team. Dave Brown's team won the Mara.thon which put them in fourth place.

The winning team, with a score of 62 points, was team number one.

There was a lot of enthusiasm and all the participants enjoyed the meet.

by Ken Epstein - Bunk 22 By that time, we were ready to leave and my fall of film had just run out While leaving the museum, we noticed an owl in a cage. It was really beautiful and I wanted to take a picture of it, but I had no more film left.

If you ask me - Pleasant Valley was really pleasant. It was 4:45 PM when we left, so we had to go back to camp. By the way, those blueberries we picked were made into blueberry muffins by the camp's chef and all those who had been on the trip, had some.

Phil planned a great trip and George was fun to be with, and he is an excellent driver.

We all thought it was a great trip, and we would like to do it again some day.

A number of Navajos and Cheyennes went to Mt. Greylock and Pleasant Valley to study nature on August 12. The people who went were: George Gross and Phil Carruthers, counselors and campers Bob Klingon, Dan Zach, Andy Lobsenz, Jeff Foster, Andy Schwartz, Neil Shane and Bob Berkman.

The first stop was Mt. Greylock which, I'll tell you, is very high; exactly 3,971 feet. Well, anyway, as we drove up, we noticed the trees were getting smaller. Phil said that it was because as we get higher, it gets colder, and trees cannot grow above a certain height.

As we went up, we stopped at a blueberry patch where we picked about two pints of blueberries. After that, we stopped at a place where you could get a good view of the valleys and mountains. It was so breathtaking that I couldn't help taking many pictures.

By this time we were all saying "Let's go to the top of the mount.ain", and Phi 1 sa id "0. K. n

As we travelled, we saw many different kinds of birds like goldfinches, sparrows, meadow larks

and barn swallows. Finally we were at the top where we ate lunch and saw the sights.

The Pleasant Valley Bird Sanctuary, run by the Massachussetts Audubon Society, is a wildlife sanctuary. As we got there, Phil said to be quiet when we

went through the woods. First we went to the beaver pond and saw beavers building a dam. We stayed there for a long time. Then we saw a pond with many catfish and minnows.

Our next stop was the nature museum that, according to Phil, had many different kinds of animals. When we got there, we saw lizards, porcupines, crows, rattlesnakes

and flying squirrels. It was fantastic, as we had many things to do there.

BUNK 9 CAMPERS ON INTERESTING HIKE -FIND GROOVY GRUBS

by David Wildstein - Bunk 9

Bunk 9 went on a hike on August 10. We found 11 grubs.

Four of them had a fight, and some died. There was a father grub, a mother grub, and three baby grubs. Grubs are really fun.

P.S. - To find grubs, you take the bark off a log and find little ugly white worms. They don't bite.

by Ken Rosenburg- Bunk 9

Today we were chopping wood and somebody found a. grub.

Soon we all had grubs. We put one. on a stump to see if a bird would eat it.

Meanwhile, the grubs started biting each other.

After watching them for a while, we decided nothing exciting would happen, and finally we left the grubs.

by Joe Abrams - Bunk 41

This year our Waterski Program was bigger and better than ever before. Under the careful guidance of the staff's skilled instructors, Ross Golding, George Leske, Ken Lewis and Stan Owen, skiers have improved more this year than any other.

Due t.o the increasing interest in the ski program throughout the season, the ski dock had to be enlarged during the summer.

As always, each camper, in order to enter the ski program, was required to have passed, for obvious safety reasons, Red Cross Swirruners.

The camp's ski program, in abiding by the standards of the American Waterski Association, set classifications ~Qr skiers to achieve.

Following are the names of campers and tne dlasses they passed:-

"HAMS" VISIT RADIO LEAGUE

by Ron Glassma.n - Bunk 38

On August 16, Al Bianchi, the head of the Mah-Kee-Nac Ham Radio program took nine of his students to the American Radio Relay

League headquarters in Newington, Conn. All the campers who went are ham operators already or are taking their novice tests in the near future.

When we arrived, our guide Ed Kahn, showed us two lnteresting movies about ham radio. We saw the laboratories where ARRL engineers experiment.

We also saw the offices where the monthly magazine which is published for hams is prepared.

Then we saw the station of the ARRL, wtAW. A few of us operated their Novice rig. We saw some of the new innovations which they have, like ham te1,evision, where one ham can send a TV picture to another.

The people who went were:Neil Shapiro, Seth Harrison, Matt Segal, Rich Scheyer, Sam Roberts, Steve Schofel, Lenny Russell and Ron Glassman. We enjoyed it very much.

JUNIOR RIFLERY AWARDS TO 79 CAMPERS

The Junior Riflery program consisted of 97 boys participating in an NRA sponsored activity. Our Riflery Instructor, Patrick Stone, let us shoot 3 times per session, with each camper scheduled for about 3 sessions a week. The range we used was a 25ft. range, and we used gas operated pellet guns. During this activity we followed many safety precautions,which allowed us to have a lot of fun without any accidents.

Many boys passed NRA tests and received awards. The highest award received was Sharpshooter Bar One, and five people passed this test. They were: Ivan Assael, Jim Strogoff, Paul Holtzman, Spencer King, and Alan Lewis.

The best part about the Riflery program was that it offered everyone a chance to participate. One didn't have to be a great athlete to do well at Riflery, and everyone enjoyed it.

The following is a list of boys who participated in the Junior Riflery program and highest awards attained by each camper:

SHARPSHOOTER BAR 1: Ivan Assael, Spencer King, Alan Lewis, Paul Holtzman James Strogoff

One of the major objectives of the National Rifle Association is proper training of both adults and young people in gun safety. There are thousands of NRA Firearms Safety Instructors in the United States who devote a conside able amount of time to giving gun safety instruction.

The Closing Camp Banquet for the Lower Senior Camp was held on Wednesday evening, with the Navajo and Cheyenne tribes taking over the Dining Hall.

The traditional steak dinner was pleasing to all, with the super dessert of ice cream on cake, bathed in delicious chocolate sauce.

The decorations were appropriate plaques hung avod each bunk's table with the theme: "This Was the Sununer That Was". Bob Fergerson, a fine arts graduate of Syracuse and camp's sculling counselor, painted the posters.

The program was opened with a very funny skit with Brendan Barber and Bob Eccer as "Television Personalities". Brendan then moderated the rest of the program.

In the second skit, Jeff Langendorff took the part of Arnie Feldman; Tom Lehman took the part of Jeff Rubin; Peter Berg took the part of Jay Sulkowsky. Others in. the skit

were Richard Pelzman and Warren Odette.

Other campers in the skits were Neil Shane as Phil Carruthers; Paul Hostovsky as George Gross; Bobby Litvak as John Demler, Dan Zach took the part of Chris Fletcher. Other participants in the skits were Stu Fishman and Peter Raider.

Head Counselo.r, Jim 0 I Neill then told stories about the Cheyennes and Navajos in which he made interesting and humorous comments about each camper.

The movie of special events held during the summer was then shown.

The Navajos and Cheyennes then sang their Camp Sing presentations, with Arnie Feldman leading the Navajos in the humorous song to the tune of "Wouldn't It Be Loverly".

Bob Eccher then led the Cheyennes in another tune from "My Fair Lady", Getting to the Church On Time. With the singing of Taps, the program of the evening was brought to a close.

'!PPER SEN I OR CAMPERS C.LOSE OUT SUMMER WITH FINAL BANQUET

The final night of our 1971 season was the night of the third Banquet with the Upper Senior Camp, led by Head Counselor Wes Aldrich, taking full possession of the Dining Hall. Junior Camp and Lower Senior Camp were programmed elsewhere.

The Dining Hall was re-decorated by the Upper Seniors for this gala "night-of-nights". When the bungle sounded, the procession of the Cherokees, Algonquins, Senecas and Aides moved from their campus to the Dining Hall.

The Banquet menu was of course the traditional steak dinner, starting with Mah-Kee-Nac fruitcup, and ending with a delicious

ice cream sundae.

The program of the evening was centered around a nostalgic review of the summer's highlights, with campers and counselors participating.

The feature of the program was the singing of their solos by the principals of the Senior Musical, liThe Mah-Kee-Nac Way" and campers of the chorus joined in with the singing of the choral numbers.

And thus was celebrated the final big event of the 1971 sununer season at Mah-Kee-Nac and all agreed it was a great night after another happy summer for campers, counselors, with enduring friendships long to be remembered.
