A SUMMER CAMP FOR BOYS

THE BOYS ARE BACK

by Andrew Pitman Algonquin 41

In 1941, they came in trains; on the radio, they heard war news and Benny Goodman.

Today,we o::m= in airoonditioned buses, hear about nuclear dis~ ament, and listen to Def lepard.

Since 1941, many things have changed, including this canp. On the other hand,. .many things haven't.

carrpers still leave hare and family for. nruch of the surrrrer to beo::::me part of a new family, or even , for sone I see last summer's family for the second or third or even fifth tln:e.

It's another year at Mah-Kee-Nac--number 56. We' 11 divide into tr.ibes the same as they did in '41, even "29, and do many of the sene things they did, and a lot of t.hings they couln ' t have done, and hopefully, the thing that connects each year is an abundance of happy tines ..

A TRIBUTE TO JOE KRUGE

We, the 'Ibtem staff have decided to dedicate this year's TOtem to Joe Kruger. Not just for the special interest he shows in the canp paper, but for the care and devotion he has given to the entire camp for 55 years. Clearly, none of this would bepossible without him.

We all know what kind of man Joe is. He doesn It just rerrember so many narres and faces, he cares about; them. He couldn't have run this place for so long if he dian't. Each boy is an individual, with a unique. personality I and Joe I s assistance upon treating everyone as such is what has made this a special place.

We look around us and

see many things to do in a variety of facilities.. What we don t t see is heM mich r,r.,urk it must have taken to put

it all together. This carrp itself is a tribute to Joe's determination and devotion

to a goal. Certainly success is not rcea.sured the sane by everyone, but few of us

would look. at Mah-Kee-Nac

at its long and continuing tradition of excellence

and not consider him a successful man. The smile

on Joe's face is proof of that. SO is the smile on other faces. This is a

good place to be. It runs with machine-like efficiency, but it doesn I t look like a machine. There are no hard edges here and no one

is known by a number. 'Ib be able to keep it all rroving

srroothly with such is an immpressive feat.

This carrp will """"-,'., grow and flourish. It be able to because it on a strong foundatrion, was built with the utrrost care.

Mike has been with MahKee-Nac for twelve years. For the last three years, he was LoWer senior head counselor. Before that, he was a water-skiing instructor and a group leader of Navahos and Cheyennes.

The corrputer has not relieved Mike of all

his duties, since he must also plan socials, trips and other events.

Belvoir Terrac~ Girls camp joined the Mah-Kee-Nac upper seniors for the best July 4th celebration since 1776.

The girls arrived at 5: 15 and were directed to the Up}?er Senior camp, where they were wel.comed by the rren and briefed on the planned activities.Cherokees and the 7th graders from Belvoir had "New Garces" on the Lower' soccer field,while the Algonquins, Senecas,and Braves ,along with the other girls from Belvoir,chose arrong tennis,volleyball, sailing, or canoeing ..

When this phase of the social ended.,l:::oth carrps gathered by the PIt Shop for a. cookout of hamburgers, potato chips and cupcakes.

Next,the group was spirited into the Jl.,IDior Lodge,where the Master of Cererronies, Harold Odorn,geared them up for an intercanp talent show. The program included a singing duet with Harold and Cher called "The Greatest Love of All,a rredly from the "Belvoir Bluegrass Band" ,and a chorus of Yankee I:Oodle Dandy put together by our Braves.The feature act of the evening was Mark Hudis,lIThe Magician from ~1ah-Kee-Nac",who performed some of his fazood feats of levitation and sleight-of-hand.

"I\Jow, II said Harold, II it I s time to party! liThe Cherokees and the girls remained in the lodge,and the Algonquins,Senecas,Braves,and the older girls roved. to the Game Room where a stereo set-up and a. projection TV were waiting to provide two hours of music and rock videos .M:lst of the mis.i.c was sui table only for fast-dancing ,but a few slow dances entered the program near the end of the eveninq.

Also ,Jason Ressler and .Mike Bernstein gathered a crowd by sholJl.ing off their irrpressive breakdancing talents .. Once they had started.,several other boys and a few girls joined thern,as well.

Then came the unwanted surprise.The girls left l!:i hours early,at 9:30.Ralph wilcox explained that the only reasoo. the girls had scheduled to stay until 11: 00

in the first place was so that they could see the Tanglewood fireworks.But,since the fireworks "had been cancelled,the girls decided to leave earlier than expected.

After everone else had left, though, the Braves and the older Belvoir girls retreated to the beach were they had a campfire waiting.

According to the USR! s , the night was great,and they look forward to July 12, when they have their next scci.al, with Belvoir Terrace.

By Peter Ebright Cheyenne 31

On Wednesday, July 4th, the Cheyermes had a social with Belvoir Terrace. We left a.t

4 :45. When we got there, we had a three-legged race. Then we had an orange pass I which didn't work out. After that, we had an orientation tour of the camp. Next, we ate dirmer. After that, we went to their outdoor theatre and watched

a few skits. Then, we had a scavenger hunt. After that,

we \<leIl.t back to the outdoor theatre and sang sorre songs. Over all, it would have been better at a skating rink.

As many (if not all) of you know, over half of the days we I ve been here have been "rainy days. II

At last, yesterday, Jim, Joe, Danny, and Ralph Wilcox got. together and decided to do sorrething with the upper seniors , So what do you do with 129 restless natives? What else, send them ro11erskating and to the rroviesl

So after rest hour, Ralph sent all of the Cherokees ro11erskating at Broyles Roller

Rink. While there they ate, ro11erskated, ate, talked, ate, listened to rrusic, and atel

'l"'hen after dinner I Ralph sent the Algonquins, Senecas, and Braves to the rrovies. They had their choice of seeing Indiana Jones and the Temple

of Doom, Gremlins, Ghostbusters, Rhinestone, The Karate Kid, Top Secret, and Cc;nan the De s toyer • Many people saw Ghostbusters and one enthusiastic person let everyone

wai t 25 minutes until the _ end of Karate Kid after Mike Dale told us not to go in. All in all, it was a good day for the upper seniors.

Special Activities are,indeed,very speci~ to those campers in. Junior camp.AlI day long they await the call which tells thernthat it is time to assemble on the basketball court. On this past Friday evening it was a gong smw.

The objective of this particular activity was to devi se a crazy, hurro.rous (insane 1 ) act that would last. for a few minutes without being If the gong sounded, the act had to leave the stage. There were 4 judges,who,with help from audi.ence , decided when. the time was right for act to be gonged.

Not all acts were gonged, hovvever . sere of acts managed to last throughout the entire ~ formance hearing only applause.

The show began with Bunk 7. Ben Hirsh and Dodd Ivbhr performed their"Silent Comedy" act. They were able to oorrplete their entire act without being gonged.

The second group to perfonn was Bunk 1. They dressed as surna wrestlers-in their underwearand acted as if they were wrestling.They,too, not gonged.

Shortly after Bunk 1,Bunk 2 performed "Hugo the Elephant. "In this act, several of the carrpers dressed up in a gray blanket and did various stunts . They, also, pleased the audience.

Bunk 3 followed. with their"Brooks Brothers" act. It is too difficult to be described, so it won I t be !Anyhow 1 their act escaped the gong, as well.

Bunk 6 \'.On the honor of being the first to be gonged. TI1eir act. was titled"The Devil I s Dance.'jIt consisted of a few instrurrents and a couple of break-dancers. The crowd pleaded for the gong and the judges oorrplied by gonging act immediately off the stage.

The riextact was extremely good.Supplied clothes from Cher,Natalie,Mary,Barbara,Eileen, and Te.rry, they did the Mah-Kee-Nac Pageant.Each of the ca.npers acted as if he was one of the female counselors or nurses.They exaggerated of their characteristics-for exarrple, walk, high-pitched voice,dizziness,etc •.• The act received a great applause and was in contention the victory.

2 FISH TALES

by Andy Both Cherokees 46

On July 8,the fishing counselors,. Richard and M:i.chael,were making bets, i!!!!i!ii!i!!!!!!ii!i!!!!!!ii!i!!!!!!~~==~==~!!!II, saying that no one in our class could catch a fish. As you all know, we had a cold front,l'hich brings rain (as we had) .Michael had told us that the cold front would make the fish go to the J::ottorn.

We went out on the swimming dock because the fishing dock was halfway under-

, water, The counselors recommended that we use bread for bait.

So, we waited for about ten minutes and, suddenly, the first fish was caught! Then Richaed ran up and got a bucket.The only problem was that it was a bit

I too late.

We had already let ten go.

On July 6,the Algoquin-Seneca A basketball team travelled to Kent necticut to take on the horre Uo",_~""""," squad in the 16th annual, Ken-Ivbnt

In the exciting garre which saw change hands many tirres , Ken-Ivbnt the Mah-Kee-Nac squad, 35-32.

Mah-Kee-Nac was led by Mark 15 points,and a great all-around effort by all the team members.

After the tough loss, coach '"'-1.'-'''",,", said, II I coudn I t have been prouder of 9" .ys, unless they scored a few rrore The fought hard and were perfect throughout the game. II

In previous years, courses such as tennis, soccer, and baseball have taken top priority

at Mah-Kee _Nac . However ,many campers this year .have turned the tables and taken golf. From word

of nouth.oerrpera have discovered this years new and exciting golf program. Unlike other years where golf was a perpetual bore, this year the golf program is a class which all campers look forward to.

Counselors Todd Vansickle and Jeremy Day teach students how to

hi t irons and woods and putts . Both Counselors have had previousexperienoe in teaching golf, and they play equally well.

Exceptional golfers are allowed to shoot nine holes at nearby CranWell Golf Course.

Both counselors feel that Mah-Kee-Nac could have the finest crop ofgolfe.rs· in the Berkshires and they expect to be very successful this year.

Though camp has just started,

a large majority of the classes are filled to capacity,and by the end of surrrrer , perhaps golf t'1i11 be the dominant sport; at r.1ah-Kee-Nac.

Skating Social

On Sunday, July 8, the Cheyermes and Navajos had a roller skating social with Lenore OWaissa at Broyles Skating

Rink. The boys went there for evening acti vi ty . 'When

they got there they received three food tickets. Sincethe girls hadn't arrived yet, the campers skated alone. Minutes and minutes passed, and the girls were still not there. The boys were getting impatient, but after an hour the girls finally arrived. Everyone skated, ate, or played video games. The toys stayed at the rink longer than expected, because the girls were late. All the carrpers had a. great time and were sorry to leave when the night was over.

lazy day is when you can sleep(or get up)as late as you want and have free-play all rroming long.

Although Mah-Kee-Nac lost their first two games against Lenox. and Greylock in a round robin tournament I the team won one game each, and Lenox swept all three of their games.

The Mah-Lee-Nac team had several outstanding players, Darren Weiss had four goals, three of them scored in the last game. Adam Gi ttlin scored 2 goals, and Chris Dupree did an excellent job as goalie.

The final standings were:

Lenox 9, Greylock, Winadu, and Mah-Kee-Nac 3 points each.

If you've been awakened by screams of "Hubba ,hubba-ding, ding II early in the norning during the past week, you've probably been hearing the Mah-Kee-Nac Polar Bear Club in action.

The Polar Bear Club is a national society which was started about 75 years ago by friends of Cbmmodore Longfellow. Longfellow was one af the founders of the Red Cross and he believed. that the Polar Bear Club v.;uuld pronote ideals of fun and pageantry.

Mike Hanson is MKN' s very own .Polar Bear official.Mike,who was born

in the icy realms of upstate New York, supervises the campers throughout their five rroming ritual.

liThe kids love it and they have a great t.irre," says Mike." It gives then a feeling of acoomplishrrent.

On many rrornings the kids did not want to get up ,but after completion

of that rrornings test, they were glad that they did.

At the end of the five day test, the carrpers are initiated into the club. After their initiation, they receive an official Polar Bear Club patch and a life-long membership in the club.

'Ib those of you who were here last year .you knCM that several major additions have been made

here at Mah-Kee-Nac for this summer.

The Wonder Wheel is one of these additions. It is one of the funnest; activities available at the waterfront.Junping on it and walking is

a very strange experience. It is an added attraction which Danny Metzger should be applauded for.

The tennis machine was an excellent idea.Arnie Bradshaw said, "It is mainly used for ATP programs,but all the boys will get

to use it. "l 'm sure that all the campers and counselors appreciate the machine since it will help them wi th their game.

Finally,.the salad bar. It. is a pleasant addition that the carrpers seem to enjoy.lt gives a.variety for those who prefer not to eat the main course,and it enhances the daily rrenu.

"It I S the best but I did not get to go on it."

"I love it."

lilt's real fun,but it's slippery!"

When John Williams, writer of music to such novfes as Star Wars, filed his resignation from conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra earlier this year, there were large doubts as to whether or not the Pops concerts previously plazmed for this sumrer would carry through. Luckily, Tanglew:x:>d found Han:y Ellis Dickson to lead the Pops when Mah-Kee-Nac carrpers attended Tangle.:vood on

July 10.

was a group made up of tnmpets I french hom, tuba, and trombone known as '!he Empire Brass. As was last year, MaFi-:Kee-Nac canpers enjoyed the Pops and hope the trip can be repeated next season.

Even though the MKN Cherokee '.A I basketball team didn I t win, they did win for the first tirre in the consolation matches. The team oonsisted of:

Chris Shamnas Scott Kirschenbaum Nelson Eubanks Brian Slocum

Greg Klein Andy Cohen Harvey Keene Dan Grossrran Jeff Chabrowe

Before the game, Vince r-Drkri, tl-..eir coach,gave them the strategy.

"We have to keep the score low,but we have to get. our offense going."

The team did play well, but lost 41-16 to the very tough Kenmont team.

After the game, I asked Chris and Brian (Slocum) what went wrong. They replied that the Kenrront team

was bigger and that MKN just couldn't get the rebounds.

After the loss,MKN advanced to the consolation garre.

In the first quarter MKN jl1Il'q?8d out to an early lead.They executed their fast breaks perfectly. The Scatitoo team was held to only 3 points and,at half tirre, it was MKN ahead by

a score of 16-8.

During the third period the opposing defense gave up only 3 points,and at the end of that period

MKN 1ed,20-11. -

In the 4 til. quarter MKt.:r's ball-handling won the game. They held the ball and waited for a good shot. The final score was MKN 29,Scatit- 00 19.

a lot here at MKN. There are ten Apple IIe IS, and, attached to sorre of the ccnputers are printers, which prints out symbols on the screen.

This printer is used often, for thing s like making rosters to making decorations.

Jogging

hitting the trails

by Danny Grossman Cherokee 39

The first Cherokee overnight of the. sumrer was a big success.On July 9, nine carrpers and three counselors rode to Upper Coose Pond. We hiked 2~ mi1es,with heavy backpacks on our shoulders, to the carrpsite.

We set up carrp and rested for a little while.since we weren't allowed to build a fire, we took along a gas stove to cook our rreals.

For dinner,we had Mulligan's Stew and marshmallows for dessert. Then we hit the sack.

We woke up to the smell of pancakes and oat::rreal.

After we ate,we packed our bags and headed down to the rrotor lodge.After the tiresome hike,W'e put our backpacks into the van and walked to a clearing on Mt •. Beck.ett to eat lunch.

The hikes had granola bars,peanut butter,and tomato soup.

At 2: 00 another van cam: to pick us up. The overnight had been very fun and I;m sure that the other trips will be just as exciting.

One of the major purposes of any paper such as the. Totem is to provide not only a news source to all of the concerned. carcpers, but also to provide rrerrories which those campers can look back upon as each year passes.

The photos which are in the 'Ibtem supplement the writing which the .individual campers do.In fact, the photos are an especially nice way of capturing a certain rranent.

This year, Mah-Kee-Nac and the Totem have the skills of b.D counselor/photographers at work.

First of all is Dantes-Paul Angers . Paul lives in Westfield,Massachusetts and is a professional photographer. He worked here at MKN during the sum:rers of 1980 and 1981 and is currently working as a freelance photographer as well as an Independent a::mtractor.

Our second oounselor is Patrick Hogle fran Lima,Ohio.

He. is currently a st1.ldent at Ohio Wesleyan university and his pootographica1 experiences include ...orking as a darkroom assistant and as an Archaeology Lab photographerboth for the Uni versi ty of Toledo.

1984 MKNTENNIS OPEN

by Ken Bloom Algonquin 41

Mah-Kee-Nac held its 17th Annual Tennis TOurnarrent July 19 and 20 in which MKN campers earned wins in ~ of the six catergories and second place in. the team competition.

Eight camps participated in the tournament. They were Mah-Kee-Nac, Crane Lake, Kenrront, lenox, Winadu, Wah-Nee, Taconic, and Grey1ock.

Participants competed in either the 12 and under, 14 and under, or 16 and under categories in either singles or doubles.

In 12 and under singles, Brandon Hollenberg, MKN' s first seed, had an irrpressi ve perfonnance which was stopped in the semi-final round by an overwhelming match against the Winadu second seed, Jeff Serbin and Erik Pi tchal, the

other singles players,

made it to the quarter finals before being

knocked out.

Hike Bernstein and Eric Nanes,the first

seec 12 and under doubles team,made it to the finals. They lost to a very good Lenox team by default.

The second team of Adam 1 Karp and Adam Gi tiin were defeated in the first round.

Mah-Kee-Nac's major sucesses were in the 14 and under category .Ben Bradshaw, one of MKN' s best

players, won the singles division .by winning against a player from

Carrp Wah-Nee in the final. Scott Crandal.L and Peter Green were defeated in the second and first rounds respectively.

Josh Sacks and Nelson Eubanks ,the two top Cherokee players, won

the 14 and under doubles, David Levine and Mike Friedman also did well in reading the semi -finals.

The 16 and under division teams played well, but were defeated early on. Matt Dermer and David Boxenbaum were both defeated in the quarter finals, and Andy Kaplan losttn the first round.

Both 16 and under dow .. bles teams, Mark Aronson, Seth Oliphant and Dave Weisenfeld, Jeff Meltzer, won places in the semifinals, but both were defeated.

There was a large competition for thetealjl prize, going in to the finals, MKN was behind Winadu by 2 points. TO

~e for first place,

Winadu would have to lose all of their matches but one, and MKN would have to win all of theirs, MKN losing in 12 and under doubles, and Winadu winning

12 and under singles and

16 and under singles.At

the end,Winadu had 29 points and Mah-Kee-Nac

had 27.

Throughout the whole the arnazingthing was not the the players, or the victories, spirit of the players--the will for the win. In this respect, all the players were winners.

--It took a lot 0..£ hard v.urk. The kids had to make same sacrifices of their free time to make the showwork_

Things were in a fran-tic state coming into the last week but somabow, everyone put their noses to the grindstone and pulled it off.

We had some technical difficulties with the curtain at the begiruling of the show, but once we got that straightened out the show ran rather srroothly.

A small but adept orchestra added to the flow of the show by providing music in between the scenes.

Singing was a bit weak: at tines. Perhaps it was due to nerves?

But there was sorre good acting and,overall, all things oonsidered,the show was a success.

Dear Abe is a weekly ooiurm which will appear in the 'Ibtem. We realize that many campers (and counselors) have problens for which they would like to seek advice.

The Totem will attarpt to answer any problems which you may have.

One thing that would be helpful in writing your letters is that you try

to add. a little hurror. Hurrer is something that can remedy al.m:>st any si tuation. which camp has to offer,and this also adds to the entertaining effect of the oolurm.

You may submit any material which you have for Dear Abe to either Steve McClalIi .... 1n Bunk 41 or Patrick Hogle in Bunk 9.

A better method would be

to place your article in the Dear Abe folder which is locatea-on the wall as you enter the cafeteria.

The Totem Staff thanks you!

All of us had cokes and slushes,too.

The animals were cute c, ;d ,sorreti.rres mean. They liked to grab and bite people . Jonathan Stieber had food in his shirt and a goat kept trying to

get at it.

Everybody got $2.00 and there were many gift shops where we could spend our rroney.

Sorre animals had wierd names, and I liked the deers and the antelopes best.

ar d atter a 4 hour van ride, we arrived at Hyannis, Acpe Cbd. Some of us then ate our prepared lunch of chicken and chips a la Harvey, while others went to the nearby snack bar and seafood stand, where shrimp, lobster, clams and crabs eoul.d be bought.

Soon after, two representa.ti.ves fromWindsong Charters came to tell us about our three chartered yachts, and before long,

we were in groups and stowing our gear below decr . David Brause, .Adam Elkuv3., ~1arc Glogoff, Evan !-"Dro-·

(j)le crewed the 40 foot J:..ancetilia, (a racewinningtoat) , while Jeff Jaoobson, Soott l.J2.vy, Andy Pitman. and Steve Selick,

wi th Counselor John Briceland were on the 32 1/2

foot Tryst. All of the boats were skippered by their owners ,

By 1: 30, we were unde:rway. Because of high winds, we reached. our destination, Nantucket, in only 4 1/2 hours. Each crewman got several chances to helm, or steer the boats by a compass while maintaining the course, We cruised down Nantucket SOW1d at speeds of up to 10 miles per hour, fast for

sailboats of that size, wi.th only a few cases of seasickness.

Upon arrival, after rrooring, anchoring or rafting the boats, we had a choice of

wai ting an hour and a half for a launch to take us to shore or getting very wet.

We chose the former. Mistake! No one realized beforehand that we would have to pay $1.50 per person per way for the launch. There went $40 of the $136 budgeted for OlD: lobste~ dinner. Instead, we got very budget conscious and ended up eating pizza in an Italian reseaurent., but we were full!

After dessert, we split back into groups and walked around Nantucket for two hours, and at 10:15, we all gathered at the docks to wait for the launch. Finally, we got back to our boats and went to sleep.

Next rrorning, true to its name, Morning Star was pulling out of the anchorage at 5-:30, with Lanceni.Li.a fol-

lowing close behind. We on Tryst refused t-o be left behind, so our skipper turned on our inboard rotor and soon had us in. sight of the other mats. Because it was a light air day, we had plenty of chances for everyone to skipper and fool around with the radio. By 1:00, all boats reached Hyannis and we used same extra cash to get us a dollar each at McD::mald IS. SOrrE people even won more money or food in M::Donald' s latest instant game.

Soon it was time to

the van. It was a long ride that was made shorter by Frank Cole I s ability to find a shortcut around any traffic j am we encountered along the way. One such shortcut found us at a gas station, where we used the last of our emergency rroney to buy a soda each.

So, after two days of sailing, the van got back to camp at 6:30, just:in time for Harvey's lasagna.

Scott levy has just finished swabbing the deck one day at cape Cod and Andy Pitman is giving it a thorough onceover to be sure it' s slick enough.

, and 8-1, re~pecti vel y.

In their tinal match the pair dropped a 'close one to Greylock, 5-8.

In the 13 year old division, the Mah-Kee-

Nac Singles and doubles teams were the highlights of the day--first of all, Jordan Jurrow rose to the occasion and swept the teams of Taconic, (8-5), Lenox (8-3) and Greylock (8-2) to capture the first

place trophy in this division.

Next, in the 13 year old doubles, the fine team of J.P. Borella and Dave Miller also swept Lenox ( 8-4) , Taconic (8-1) and Greylock (8-1 ) to win the first

place trophy in their division.

The fiMe showing of

the Mah-Kee-Nac ream was enough to capture the team trophy and make them tournament champions, taking the crown from last year'~ winner, Carrp Greylock, by only one point.

The tennis staff of 184 is one of the finest ever assembled at Mah-Kee-Nac. OUr boys have won trophies at every event they have participated in this year, and a good reason for their success is our staff.

We have two certified tennis professionals to lead the junior and senior camp programs, and a staff of college graduates and Wimble0Dn players. We have also brought in a rose arrong the thorns, Mary D:Jnnelon, who comes from Xavier Uhiversity in Cinc~~ati.

Election Day was held in Lower Senior camp on Thursday, July 26. LSR carrpers were split into two teams, the Republicans and Derrocrats. The Cheyennes and Navajos competed against each other in soccer, basketball, tennis, baseball, softball and volleyball.

After the day I s events, Mike Jaccarino's Republican led Jim Deal's Democrats by a mere 5 points. For evening activity, each team nominated a presidential and vice presidential candidate. For the Derrocrats, it was Adam Karp for president and Eric Nanes for Vice President. The Republicans nominated Chris Sirron and Billy Wright.

After the speeches were corrpleted, the officials chose Adam Karp as the new president of Mah-Kee-Nac.

We saw many interesting and exci ting exhibits there, contrary to popular belief. Many also enjoyed. a spinetingling lightning derronstration.

After departing from the rniseum, the coach and the van headed to the Charles River !'obtel where

we were to stay for the next ~ nights. We had a bit

of free time to shower, watch television, or just relax before going to the Ground Round for dinner of ei ther a burger, fried chicken, or fried fish.

Cheyennes Conquer Greylock!

It was after breakfast,

and Jon told us to get our things ready for the day

hike and then go to the

Junior lodge. When we were ready to leave, the full count

as 11 kids and 3 counselors.

It was" cloudy with chances of rain, hut ~t dicn't hinder us. Our main objecti ve : MI'. GREYLCCK •

We all got in the camp van and were driven to the beginning of the trails.

We went on 2 trails: Stony Ledge and Roaring Brook.

Barry told us the trails we were going on and how

high up the trails went. The trails were together 4 1/2 miles long with upgrades at highest 35 feet and Qm'mgrades at lowest 35-40 feet. Not a sin'Jle part of the trails were Level , So I Barry told

us to walk 10 feet apart from each other so if one of us fell, he WQuldn' t fallon someone

else and create a domino effect.

After al::out a 1 mile downgrade, a few of us were fired and complaining, so we" took

a break at the bottom of the hill. Then we went uphill for a long t.irre and then had lunch. Then we came to a road and walked to the ledge where we could see for miles. It was worth it after all that hiking. Then we hiked back to where we were

dropped off, but the van

was late, so Barry made us

if fire and we told eachother jokes.

After that, we were picked up and brought back to camp.

Steve McClain

'Ibtem Counselor Advisor

One of the nice things about a place like Camp ~Kee-Nac is that you can always find a smiling face. That's especially good for the 'Ibtem Counselor because it makes putting the 'Ibterr. together a pleasant task. When I'm sitting in the 'Ibtem office looking through so many photographs of people having fun, it can only makerne happy.

The opening article in this year's first 'Ibtern mentioned an abundance of good. times being the thing that cxmnects year after year at Hah-Kee-Nac. It's certainly clear that this year had its abundance.

From opening day I when old acquaintences \Ilere renewed and new friendships begun, through the first. weeks,

to the joy and energy and wonderful, sense of team~rk and belonging of the Olympics, there I s never been a sh::lrtage of fun.

l,vatching Paul Saunders' videotape at the closing banquet, 'seeing all the

many happy tjmes and successful endeavors, made it clear, wi.th a Lurcp in the throat, how satisfying the experience of a summer at Mah-Kee-Nac can be. v'hether it's singing and cheering, extending ourselves competing with other camps or 'among ourselves, learning a neN skill or refining an old one, or finding warm, nevi relationships, this has been a sumner of acheivernent for all of

us. As a counselor, seeing the pleasure in a l::xJy's face when he I s grown in one way

or another is the merrory

that remains.

I would like to express

my great appreciation to the entire Totem staff for the oontributions each individual has made. I certainly owe them a great deal.

Thank you, also to Patrick Hogle, woo carried ITOre than his weight and doubled as a photographer, spent untold hours organizing, typing, and everything else there was

to do.

Te Paul Angers, many thanks for the extra hours in the darkroom just before dead-

line. His skill as a photographer speaks for itself ..

Just look at the many

beautiful photos he's taken over the S1.1!TUTl8r for proof

of it. Then there are the carrpers who were 'Ibtern regulars.

Jeff Jacobson was a big help as well, with his many darkroom hours and photographs. His contribution was an irrportant one.

I could not have done this without Ken Bloom.

He spent freeplays helping me at the end when I needed help the rrost. Thank you,

Ken.

Thank you also to Andy Pitman for coming through when I needed you, as well as Michael Liebert, John Picker, Andy Roth, Ken Gladstone, Danny Grossman, and juniors like Jason Faltings and Matt Gabin.

Finally, thank _ you to Jt::.>e Kruger for his help, advice and inspiration. VITi thout hirn, of course, the 'Ibtem vzrul.d never have existed in the first place.
