## THE SATURDAY SHOW

July 31

by Delmore Schwartz

Catching its audience with its genuine humor, Uncle Bill Stein's production of Franz Molnar's "Putty Club" was pronounced one of the finest pieces of drama produced at Pocono.

The play centers about a group of young schoolboys who have formed a Putty Collectors Club, although their stern old teacher has forbidden any societies to be formed in the school. The play begins in the schoolroom and reveals the manner in which the teacher draws from the boys the story of how they formed the club, their ideals, and their organization.

Uncle Bill Stein gave a splendid performance as the teacher and undoubtedly carried the rest of the cast to the success which the play achieved. Harry Davidson and Delmore Schwartz were very good in their respective parts, as were the other performers, Nelson Verbit, Raymond Barron, Harold Fickler, and Milton Berger. Paul Kirshon showed to decided advantage during the short time that he was on the stage. The settings, costumes and makeup were created by Uncle Bill, assisted by Uncle Bob Finkel and Mother Wit.

Beside the "Putty Club," a burlesque was produced by Uncle Al Goldston, entitled "A Day in School." The show sent

## SCHOOL STUDIES

by Uncle Milton Pearlman

"All play and no work
May teach Jack to shirk."

That is the reason why Pocono Camp Club boasts of a real honest to goodness rural school.

Each of the forty-five volunteer (ask Dad, he knows?) pupils is given an hour's instruction in the subjects that he feels he needs help in most. The faculty consist of Uncle Milton Pearlman, Principal and Uncles Ted Schoenfeld, Julius Yablok, berg, Harry Riner, Harry Stein-Ira Hirschberg, Leon Reiden-berg and Bernie Lube. The hour's instruction is divided into two half hour periods, so that the school might be run on a truly departmental basis. There are classes in Arithmetic, Spelling, Grammar, History, Penmanship and Hebrew. The work of all grades is offered. Each week Uncle Milton observes the work that is being done in the various classes and also gives either an oral or a written test to the boys.

At the end of the season a certificate will be awarded to each boy who has passed his final tests. The certificate will, we hope, be proof to the schools in the city of the earnest effort of the boys to study even during their vacations.

"Is there anything you want to know?

Then register in the school of Pocono."

WISCASSET LAKE HIKE

by Irving Tunick

The first hike of the season was our trip to Wiscasset Lake last Thursday. Officially it is claimed that the distance is no more than four and a half miles both ways but to the boys who took part in the hike it seemed at least a million. Perhaps just a little less than a million but at times it honestly did look as though Chief were taking us out on a walk to the Pacific Coast.

Eventually, after many trials and tribulations, we reached our goal which proved to be a beautiful lake, good for both boating and swimming. The very first thing that we did when we arrived at Wiscasset Lake was to go in for a swim. Then, after we had been thoroughly refreshed and cooled, the camp bus arrived with the food and we all pitched in with a will. After dinner, we went boating and it was during this time that it began to rain. Chief then gave the signal for the return trip, advising us to hitch-hike back if we could. We split into small groups and were very successful in securing itts back to camp. Uncle Al Goldston, Doc Schneierson, and Irving Tunick decided to walk back and they have the distinct honor of being the only ones to

make the return trip on foot.

The Juniors hiked to Tannersville where they remained for some time, playing games, cheering, singing songs, and listening to the stories that were told them by the councilors. The Freshmen hiked to the Pocono Creek and then, being ambitious, went half way up the trail that leads to the fire tower. All in all, Hiking Day was voted a complete success.

THE POCONO MANOR HIKE

by Harry Davidson

We started off for Pocono Manor, the goal of our customary Wednesday hike, led by Uncles Yablok and Taran with Uncles Ira and Jim bringing up the rear. We rested not until we reached Tannersville. From there we proceeded up the state road for several long and weary miles, interspersed now and then, and only too infrequently, with two minute rests.

Onward and onward and onward we tramped. As the Freshmen say, we travelled over hill and over dale, hitting, so it seemed, every dusty trail in Pennsylvania. Finally, after many trials and tribulations, Pocono Manor loomed up in the distance. Somewhat revived by the sight, we quickened our pace and, met by Chief, we

A HELPING HAND

There is no finer thing in the life of a boy than the companionship and friendship of others of his own age. To make a pal who stands by you in fair weather and foul is a worthy accomplishment and means a great deal to the boy concerned. To him you give your confidences, tell of your ambitions, your triumphs, and your defects. From him you secure that rarest of all treasures, sympathy, and an understanding that will sustain you when others misunderstand your intentions. Little more need be said in that direction, for every boy knows the joy of having a pal to whom he can turn at any time and secure a helping hand.

The same spirit that we have just described should have a wider extension in the life that we are now leading at camp. The spirit of cheerful and willing aid, help ungrudgingly given, is a factor that makes for a pleasant and happy life.

There are innumerable instances in the daily routine of camp when you can lend a helping hand, on the athletic field, the beach, in the tents and bunks, and in the social hall. The irritations that occur can

easily disappear if you meet the other fellow half way, with a smile and a cheerful word. And you will be surprised to find how many pals you will make, and how happy your life at camp can really become. As a final word, lend a helping hand!

POCONO BROADCASTINGS

With Uncle Joe L.

Harry Kravitz is the smiling cherub of the Freshmen group. Nothing ruffles the calm of his appearance, and because of his cheerfulness he has endeared himself to the whole camp.

The most commendable ambition that we have encountered in camp is that of Billy Evers. Billy plans to be a great scientist and has started out on the road to that worthy aim by putting frogs in his bunkmates' beds. Uncle Bob is on the verge of nervous prostration.

Sal Raichelson is one of the finest boys in the Senior Division. That his efforts are appreciated is shown by the fact that he was elected to the Honors Legion in successive weeks.

One of the most important factors in keeping Bunk 1 in the lead as the cleanest bunk in camp is the cheerful and unfailing service of Alfred Berek.

That Socrates has returned to earth is the unshaken belief of Delmore Schwartz. And as proof, he points to himself as the individual in whom the wisdom of the great Athenian has come back again. Delmore is as insistent upon the fact that he is wise as many another is that he is Napoleon.

Morris Feldbaum cherishes a secret ambition which we now intend to reveal to the camp at large. It is none other than to

 ease Jack Dempsey from under the heavyweight crown which he has worn for so long a time. According to Uncle Lester, Morris possesses the neatest left jab in the Freshmen division.

The artistic manner in which the clothes and sporting articles of Bunk 2 are arrayed, is due to the efforts of David Epstein. Uncle Tarzan informs us that David possesses a real sense of artistic values.

After a few weeks with the New York Giants, Abe Rentzler was induced to return to camp and continue his fine work in pitching the Seniors to many a victory. Dame Rpmor hath it that scouts from Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New York have been seen at the Pocono baseball field. Abe may leave us after all.

The following little story will indicate our feelings towards Harry Davidson. Lou Soupoitz was missing and Chief sent a hurry call for someone to blow the bugle. Whereupon Harry stepped forward and blew a mighty blast. As one of the councillors was falling in a deep deep faint, he was heard to murmur: "Is there anything that boy can't do, and do it well."

The smiling face of Abe Cutler is one of the things that makes the inspector's life a pleasure, as he goes through the Junior cabins. And Abe's bed and trunk are just as neat and shining.

We wish to make it known to those who have been watching the tennis courts in the last few days and who may have thought that William T. Tilden has come to camp, that it is

none other than David Yellin. Davey plays a beautiful game and possesses an assortment of chops and strokes that is the envy of many an older boy.

Harold Fickler is a real surprise this summer. He has blossomed forth as quite an athlete, and is giving all the boys in his division a lot of competition. Keep up the good work, Harold.

More than any other youngster in camp, Maurice Feinberg, with that mischievous twinkle in his eye, reminds one of Peck's Bad Boy. Maurice's looks, however, belie his actions for according to Uncle Bill, he is one of the best behaved boys in the bunk.

One of the shining lights of the Intermediate division is His Royal Highness, Samuel Lorber. Sammy looks as though he had been to the purple born, as he casts his eye over the hills and dales. We will cheerfully recommend Sammy to any country in search of a king.

Eddie Riner is one of the reasons why Doctor Schneierson is so happy nowadays. Eddie has a genius for treating all sorts of minor bruises, and the manner in which those afflicted flock to him shows how effective are his treatments.

THE CHOIR

Did you hear the choir at services on Friday evening? The ten choristers under the leadership of Uncle Milton Pearlman, our religious director, sure did give the campers and visitors a added to the already interesting surprise when they ing Sabbath services, the splen did atmosphere of truly spiritual melodies.

the audience into continual gales of laughter. Uncle Al uncovered a new star in Sidney Kalmanowitz who played the part of an innocent school teacher who comes to take charge of a rough, tough bunch of boys. He went through the class lessons in arithmetic, reading, writing, spelling, geography and poetry in a way that delighted the audience. The blunders of the pupils who took the parts of the school children were very good: Ed Riner, Irving Tunick, Sid Haim, Sam Berman, and Herbert Rasumoff.

There were also two vaubville skits which everybody enjoyed. Eddie Riner and Sam Berman were in one, and Sam Lorber, Sam Maklin, Sid Weiss, and Harold Jacobson in the other.

When Taps sounded (which means reveille to Uncle Bob, the siren to Uncle Joe, and assembly to the councillors in general) we all knew that we had had a good time.

## THE SATURDAY SHOW

July 24

by Delmore Schwartz

Your scribe shall be most serious and describe with all the powers at his command the happenings that took place on the night of the 24th of July. The offering, as the New Yorkers would say, was entitled "Pirate's Gold," a fearsome story of a bloodthirsty crew.

The show was a tremendous success, gentle readers and others, not so gentle, and did right by our dramatic directors, (Uncles Al Goldston and Bill Stein. It concurred four wick-

ed characters, Will Johnson (Sam Berman), John Johnson (Sidney Weiss), Doctor Doodo nothing (Delmore Schwartz), and Lawyer Krautcanner (Harry Davidson). They plan to go on a treasure hunt and in order to achieve their purpose, they have charted the good ship "Poached Egg." As the curtain rises they are inspecting their map at an inn.

They are overheard by a halfwit, Samuel Slapdoodle, (Harold Jacobson), who immediately informs the notorious Captain Kidd and his very vicious crew of pirates, (Sam Maklin, Sid Haim, Irving Tunick and Harry Cutler. The villainous troupe capture the honest men and then set out to gain the treasure for themselves. The next act takes place aboard the good ship "Poached Egg." After many exciting quarrels, the so-called honest men secure control of the ship again. A storm arises, the ship is sunk, the men are tossed upon an island, and that ends the second act.

The third act produced the greatest amount of fun. The discovery is made that the treasure, which is the object of everyone's search, is in the possession of a strange old man (Bert Blumencranz). Both groups find the old man at the same time and both claim the treasure. The honest group insist that they deserve the treasure because they are not pirates. The pirates claim that the others are pirates also, and then both groups agree that they have the necessary qualifications for a taxicab company in New York City.

Thus the play ended, in a gale of laughter and with promise

for the suffering inhabitants of New York who are now stranded during the subway strike.

## ATHLETICS

BY JACK SEGEL

Our first athletic meet was held last Saturday. In the senior division, Harold Davidson, greatly surprised us by taking a lead of two points. He has ten points, while Max Kravitz, who has a good chance of overtaking his leader, has eight points. The rest of the seniors have as follows: B. Rentzler, 5 J. Segel, 5; A. Rentzler, 4; and A Weiss, 1.

In the intermediate group Syd Weiss took first place. He has ten, while D. Schwartz is right at his heels with nine points. Close to D, Schwartz is N. Miller with eight points. Following N. Miller, is Irving Tunick, having seven points. H. Hausmoff and W. Hochberg share honors for fifth place, each having six points. S. Haim, S. Lorber, and N. Verbit each have five points. F. Adler stands alone with one point.

The Juniors were outdone by H. Schwartz, who has 10 points. Steinberg and R. Baron are following him closely with 8 points each. Behind them are B. Evers Berek, Steve Weiss, and Rothstein, with 5 points each. Feldbaum and F. Lazeroff, who have 1 point each, share honors for last.

The Freshman group produced a young athlete, Danny Bobis, who scored 10 points. His strongest rival, M. Heldbaum, has 5 points. Behind him are S. Halpern, A. Enerman, and H. Liben, having 3 points. I. Benjamin and A. Altman have 1 point each.

## THE BLUE MOUNTAIN CAMP VISIT

by Harry Davidson

Thursday, the 22nd of July, the occasion of the visit which the Blue Mountain campers paid to Pocono, was one of the most important days in Pocono history.

Immediately after inspection, the Blue Mountain boys arrived in cars. After a short period in which they rested up and made a tour of the camp, all trooped down to the baseball field on which the youthful Hornsby's and Ruths and Cobbs were to strive for glory. The Pocono boys fought hard but were finally forced down to defeat by an older, heavier, and more experienced team. The team consisted of Harry Riner, Abe Rentzler, Arthur Weiss, Lou Soupowitz, Del. Schwartz, Sid Weiss, Jack Segal, Fred Adler and Harry Davidson.

Following the afternoon session, a swimming meet was held. In the dive we took first and third places. Our representatives were Lou Soupowitz, Artie Weiss, and Harry Davidson. The next event was a dash in which Blue Mountain took first an second place and Pocono third. In this event we were represented by Lou Soupowitz, Artie Weiss and Sidney Weiss. The final event, a four man relay, was to decide the winner. In spite of the utmost relay race.

Thus Blue Mountain came, saw, and conquered. However, they failed in one task, namely, that of making Pocono "blue," for we are resolved that in our return matches, we will be amply revenged.

## GUEST COLONY

A large number of guests came to camp to spend the Fourth of July with their youngsters. They included Mr. & Mrs. Tunick, Mr. Koch & son Lester, Mrs. Lactin & daughter, Mr. & Mrs. Altman, Mr. Morrison, Harry Palso, Mr. Louis Berek, Mr. & Mrs. Meltzer, Mr. & Mrs. Swartz, Mr. & Mrs. Mintz, Mr. & Mrs. Haim, Miss Lorher, Mr. & Mrs. Baron, Dr. & Mrs. Weinstein, Mr. & Mrs. Litty, Mr. Koch, Mrs. Merkel & daughter, Mr. Savado, Mrs. Hamburger & daughter, Helen, Mrs. Wollman, Mr. & Mrs. Buchwald, Mr. & Mrs. Zimmerman, Mr. & Mrs. Rasumoff, Mr. & Mrs. Norwick, and Mr. & Mrs. Simson.

## THE TREASURE HUNT

by Norman Miller

"Where do we go now" was the cry heard by all the councillors as the Treasure Hunt, a long anticipated event, was started on Friday after the noon siesta. It also became a familiar cry every ten or fifteen minutes after, as first one group and then another found their slips and then started eagerly on the search for the next ones.

Up and down the hills, from the guest cabins to the athletic fields and then back again, the various groups travelled as they looked for the little yellow slips that had been hidden earlier in the day by Chief. The hunt was close and exciting, as the boys, led by their councillors, vied with one another for the final prize. Eventually all the groups found themselves upon the campus where the tenth slip

was to be found. All that the instructions said was that the slip was on the campus, "in the most conspicuous spot."

One the Seniors had the brilliant inspiration to search Chief and he was rewarded for his efforts, the final slip being in Chief's shoe. This discovery brought victory to the Senior division, with the Intermediates and the Freshmen tied for second place. All in all it was a glorious time.

were conducted to the premises. The Manor and its grounds proved to be one of the most beautiful sights we have ever seen.

Before partaking of refreshments, we enjoyed a swim in the cold and invigorating waters of the Pocono Manor lake. After the boys had been sufficiently frozen, they came out and enjoyed the lunch that was brought by the camp bus. Then we prepared for the homeward trip. Thinking that it was possible to find a short cut through the woods, our worthy "Uncles" led us miles and miles through the wildest country in these parts of the Poconos. Finally, after wandering about like the babes in the woods, we sighted the Fire Tower and then made it the goal of our efforts.

We then encountered a forked road which proved to be quite a puzzle. After some unsuccessful attempts, we struck the right trail, reached Wiscasset Lake, and continued triumphantly on to camp.

## THE MASQUE BALL

August 14

by Delmore Schwartz

Dashing cavaliers, rustic farmers, fearsome magicians, slapstick clowns, bathing beauties, wild cowboys, football players, ghosts, and firemen all went to make a colorful masquerade at Pocono on the 14th of August.

The masquerade was called to order by Doctor Meister. He forthwith announced the rules that were to be followed and the martyrs to the cause. They were Chief Ocean, Mrs. Berek, Mr. Witt, Uncle Joe Lotterman, and Doctor Meister.

Then each group proceded to show its wares. The Alpine Climbers were the outstanding feature of the Freshmen division. For their efforts they were awarded third place. They were Artie Altman, David Leventhal, and Danny Bobis. Honorable mention in this division went to Leon Rogow and Morris Feldbaum who was arrayed as a scare-crow.

The Juniors presented a baby carriage scene that was effective. Those who participated in the scene were Kenneth Schwartz, David Yellin, Steve Weiss, Raymond Barron, and Allan Rothstein. The Uncle Jim—Uncle Harry Bunks presented a snappy song scene.

The Intermediates then took the stage and delighted the audience with all sorts of strange and fearsome impersonations. The Gold Dust Twins (Sid Weiss and Irving Tunick) were the first to make their bow. They

## BLUE MOUNTAIN VISIT

On Monday, July 26, we started out for Blue Mountain Camp, to repay the visit that the B. M. boys had paid us earlier in the week to secure revenge for the defeats that they had inflicted. The Senior and Intermediate divisions, led by Chief Ocean and Uncles Irving Pearlman, Joseph Lotterman, Ira Hirschberg, Ick Himoff, Julius Yablok, and Leon Reidenberg were chosen to represent Pocono.

We left camp after breakfast and soon arrived at Blue Mountain where we received a hearty welcome. We washed up and were then escorted around the grounds. A basketball game between the campers' teams was arranged, and soon all trooped down to the basketball court. The Pocono team consisted of Lou Soupowitz, Arthur Weiss, Abe Rentzler, Jack Segal, and Harry Davidson. The game was bitterly contested, although Pocono held the upper hand throughout and was always in possession of a commanding lead. The Pocono boys finally emerged the victors by a score of 9-7 and thus secured ample revenge for the defeat of a week before. The team played exceptionally well. Mention must also be made of the fine work of Sid Weiss who substituted for Harry Davidson.

After dinner a baseball game was held. Blue Mountain managed to stave off defeat when a Pocono rally in the last inning fell short by two runs.

were followed by a gruesome magician (Delmore Schwartz). A humorous bit was then presented by Sidney Haim as Don Q and Norman Miller as a country fire chief. This combination won fifth prize.

Next came five ferocious football players. With excessive exuberance they went to the cheerful task of killing each other. A terrifying spectacle was then enacted. Rastus, impersonated by Harold Jacobson, is pursued by Death, who was none other than Sammy Lorber. For their fine achievements, the Intermediates were awarded first prize in the bunk unit competition. Honorable mention in that same competition was given to the Freshmen bunk by the lake.

The last group was the Senior division. They began their offering with a comedy skit between Jack Segal and Sigmund Taft. Then came an impersonation of Mr. Kershberg (Bernie Rentzler) and the murderous Ignatz (Lou Soupowitz). Their caperings around the kitchen won first place for them. Spark Plug, Sunshine, and Barney Gogle, Abe Rentzler, Ed Riner, Sam Berman, and Max Kravitz) delighted us with a burlesque on the famous comic supplement. They were the recipients of second prize.

All in all it was a glorious evening and a good time was had by all.

## THE WINNERS OF THE MASK

First Prize—The Kitchen Scene "Lou Soupowit., and Bernie Rentzler).

Second Prize—"Spark Plug"— "Sam Berman, Abe Rentzler, Max Kravitz, Eddie Riner).

Bunk Prize—Intermediates.

Honorable Mention—Freshmen, (Lake)

## POCONO BROADCASTINGS

with Uncle Joe L.

Nelson Verbit, in addition to being the quietest, is the smallest boy in the Intermediate division. Nelson always fills us with the almost irresistible impulse to lift him up and put him in our pocket.

In addition to other achievements, Jack Segal is indisputably one of the best basketball players in camp. Jack's work in the Blue Mountain game was a thing of beauty.

Speaking of the Blue Mountain game reminds us that we must give due credit to Lou Soupowitz, Artie Weiss, Abe Rentzler, Sidney Weiss, and Harry Davidson for their splendid work.

Milton Berger is Uncle Bob Finkel's right hand man in the Art Club. Milton, so Uncle Bob informs us, has artistic inclinations, in addition to possessing an artistic temperament.

The Pet and pride of the Freshmen councillors is Avram Goldstein. Avram is proficient in everything he undertakes.

Although he came to camp a month after the rest of the other boys, David Leventhal has slipped easily and smoothly into the exhilarating life of camp. Davie is a born camper.

Like the torrents that fall at Niagara, come words from Sidney Kalmanowitz. Sid's greatest trial is the night time when he has to fall asleep.

The ablest and most eloquent expounder of the charms of Jersey City is Norman Miller, who is with us here in camp. Norman hails from that benighted town and, curiously enough, seems proud of the fact.

Upholding the superior merits of New York, Irving Tunick alone dares oppose the eloquence of Normie. And he does it very well, too.

Uncle Harry Steinberg refuses to speak for publication, but we have it on good authority that Wilfred Rogow is his best boy.

Paul Kirshon and Uncle Bill Stein are getting along very well, thank you!

Fast as the wind, so very fast indeed, that you cannot see him most of the time, is Fred Adler. Freddie amazed the Camp the other day by coming out on line only ten minutes late.

Irving Bermikow is proving to be one of the best little ath-

letes in the Junior division. Irving has many fine achievements to his credit.

Irving Levine is the proud possessor of the high jump record in the Junior division. We saw Irving make his winning leap and it was a beauty.

The star of the Junior baseball team is Harold Merkelson. We saw Harold make some plays in the Intermediate Junior game that would have put a professional to shame.

We extend our heartiest congratulations and best wishes to Sammy Berman who celebrated his Bar-Mitzvah in camp last week. It is a happy coincidence that Uncle Milton Pearlman who prepared Sammy celebrated his birthday on the same day as Sammy did. The whole camp, we feel sure, joins us in our expression of best wishes and admiration for the work that Uncle Milton has succeeded in accomplishing at Pocono.

## BLUE MOUNTAIN VISIT

*(Continued from Page 1)*

A very short visit was paid the Girls' Camp across the lake and then we went back to the Boys' camp for the swimming meet. It was then that Blue Mountain smarting from the effects of their defeat in the morning, made a tremendous effort and won a well-deserved victory in swimming.

Many were the Pocono cheers that issued forth as the buses carried us away. The vigor and force of the cheering attested to our appreciation of Blue Mountain's frierdliness and hospitality.

CAMP BENEFITS

The camp season of 1926 is rapidly drawing to a close, and it is well that we pause for a moment, to consider what our life here at Pocono has brought to us. Primarily it has contributed to our health. It has meant a glorious round of baseball, basketball, tennis, handball, swimming and canoeing. Every sinew has been called upon, every muscle has developed. Although the building up of our health has been our primary consideration here at camp, we have not allowed that single aim to obscure other activities that are essential to the development of the boy.

Arts Crafts, Nature Study, Dramatics, School Studies, Literary work, each has played an important part in our life at camp, each has been instructive and educational, absorbing the surplus energies of the younger and directing them along sane and wholesome paths.

Our work on the stage, our work in the shop, in school, on the camp paper, has been of tremendous value and may have opened for some of us channels of activity which we may continue to follow even after we

have left the confines of camp. At any rate the varied scope of our camp life has been a factor in the development of an all-around youngster, one competent to deal with many of the problems which he will later be forced to face.

THE FINAL SHOW

August 21, 1926

In eager anticipation the campers awaited the final show of the season—the dramatic “piece de resistance”—in other words, the minstrel show.

Before the final show a short novelty number was presented by Uncles Al and Bill. It was entitled "Our Freshmen," a comedy in verse. Ten freshmen were attired most artistically as merry little clowns, who chanted the ditty "Juniors, Seniors all are you. See what us little boys can do. Freshmen, freshmen all are we, we hope you'll like our comedy."

Then Uncle Bill dressed as the leading clown recited a short stanza that characterized individually each of the Freshmen who were concerned in the playlet. The ten Freshmen were: Jerry Simson, Maurice Feldbaum, Harold Fickler, Aaron Goldstein, Irwin Benjamin, M. Feinberg, Joe Singer, Danny Levy, Leon Rogow and Sidney Davidson.

Then came the final show which was named by Uncle Al "Poconolia Minstralia." The interlocutor was Artie Weiss, the end men were Ed Riner, Harry Davidson, Sam Berman, and Sid Weiss, and the Minstrels were Delmore Schwartz, Max Kravitz, Nelson Verbit and Sammy Maklin. The specialty numbers were rendered by Harold Jacobo-

On the lake and on the courts,
For we are the Seniors.
When all the rest start to shirk
You'll find the Seniors doing
work

If Seniors were not on top
Pocono Camp would take a flop
For the Brown and Tan
We do all we can
Three cheers for the Seniors.

THE POCONOLA

THE POCONO EXHIBITION

August 22, 1926

by Delmore Schwartz

On Sunday, the 22nd of Aug-
ust, the campers of Pocono
Camp Club presented an exhib-
ition which was the result of
weeks of labor on the part of
the various clubs that were or-
ganized in camp. It presented
one phase of the life of the boy
at camp that is very rarely ap-
preciated by the parent, and the
exclamations of surprise and de-
light which came from these
parents who attended the ex-
hibition indicated that they were
learning that camp is not all a
matter of athletics.

Doctor Meister opened the
exhibition with a short address
explaining the purpose of the
exhibit and the work which
each club had performed. Each
club had been assigned a booth
and was granted a limited time
in which to present and ex-
plain its offering.

The first club to make its
display was the First Aid Club
presided over by Dr. Schneier-
son. Eddie Riner, the president
and the far-famed assistant of
the Doc, gave a short address
that made clear the purposes
to which the First Aid Club had
adhered. Then a practical dem-
onstration of how to apply ar-
tificial respiration was given by
Sidney Weiss. This offering
was followed by a minor oper-
ation, in which a dead frog was
dissected. It was a highly in-
teresting and diverting experi-
ment, especially to those who
are inclined that way.

At the conclusion of this lit-
tle act, we repaired to another
section of our museum, that de-
voted to Nature Study. With

the able assistance of Harold
Jacobson, the club presented
the specimens of natural life
that its members had accumu-
lated in the vicinity of camp
under the direction of Uncle
Leon Reidenberg.

The next and most interest-
ing was the Arts Crafts exhib-
it. The members of the club
were actually in the process of
construction and showed, under
the guidance of Uncle Ed Paley,
how various articles were cre-
ated, step by step. The boys
hammered and whittled and cut
with vim and vigor, as proof of
their proficiency in this most
entertaining of crafts. And the
articles they produced were ex-
traordinarily good.

The Exploration Club pre-
sented pictures of the sights
they had seen and the places
they had visited, and gave vari-
ous description of the hikes that
they had taken all season.

The Photography Club under
the direction of Uncles Irv.
Lichtenstein and Ted Schoen-
feld showed how easy it was to
develop films and demonstrated
the correct as opposed to the
wrong methods of development.

The Art Club led by Uncle
Bob Finkel, demonstrated how
well its members could paint all
sorts of pictures and model clay
into all sorts of objects. The
work that was produced, con-
sidering the age of the young-
sters, was excellent.

The exhibition was a success
in every way and it is very like-
ly indeed that many a young-
ster may have had pointed out
to him at least the hobby—and
perhaps even the profession—
that he will follow in later life.

CHEERS and SONGS (Cont'd.)

POCONO IS HOME

There is a camp called Pocono,
Right on the mountain top,
Tents and cabins nestle there,
It is the place for me.
Never more will I roam
Pocono is home.
The Intermediates will always
win,
They've got the pep,
They've got the rep,
Watch our step.
Sis! Boom! Bah!
Intermediates! Rah!
Intermediates! Rah Rah!
Intermediates! Rah-Rah! Rah-

HINKEY DINKEY

What's become of Hinkey Dink-
ey Parlez-Vous,
What's become of the Frosh,

There's many a group with grin
so wide
Won't be able to grin if it tried
Hinkey Dinkey Parlez-Vous.

II

What's become of Hinkey Dink-
ey Parlez-Vous,
What's become of the Frosh,

First we'll take away their pants
Then we'll make them do a
dance,
Hinkey Dinkey Parlez-Vous.

III

What's become of Hinkey Dink-

And we'll put them in the soup
Hinkey Dinkey Parlez-Vous.

FRESHMAN SONGS

(To the tune of
"Old New York University")
Pocono is the camp for me,
Drives away all adversity,
It's right off the lake,
It's built for our sake,
In fun and sports we'll all par-
take
Rah Rah Rah
Brown and Tan we'll be true to
you,
Camp that we'll all go to,
So—Fresh-Men
Hurrah Hurrah Hurrah
Hurrah for Camp oPocono.

Over Hill, Over Dale

Over hill, over dale
As we hit the dusty trail,
As the Freshmen go marching along,

Up and down, never frown,
Always happy as a clown,
As the Freshmen go marching along,
For it's Heigh Heigh Ho!
We're all from Pocono
And always will fight to the end
Hey Hey!
For it's Heigh Heigh Ho!
We're all from Pocono
As the Freshmen go marching along.
Hey Hey!
When all the Pocono Freshmen fall in line,
They're always bound to have a wondrous time,
And on the field they've got the team that wins
For they're the Brown and Tan boys through; yes through and through.
When all the Pocono Freshmen fall in line,
They're always bound to win the fray,
They've got the team,
They've got the steam,
For they're the boys of Pocono Camp.

Pocono will shine,
Pocono will shine tonight,
Pocono will shine.
Pocono will shine tonight,
When the Freshmen fall in line,
Pocono will shine tonight,
Pocono will shine.
When the sun comes down, and the moon goes up
Pocono will shine.

Sollie Hochberg cannot be commended too highly for his splendid feat of passing the Senior swimming tests. Sol is only a Junior, which may give you some idea of the magnitude of his achievement.

Full of the "jois de vivre," Irwin Benjamin is a shining example of what a Freshman can and should be.

THE SATURDAY SHOW

August 7

by Delmore Schwartz

Michaelhail Strombomsky Pe-
trovsky Standislovesky Ballief
is speaking to his audience—
"Laadiees—and men too. My
Engleesh ees ver' poor—Thus did
the Pocono Dramatic Club as-
piring to grand and glorious
heights present the gorgeous
"Chauve Soures," in miniature.

Taking the part of Ballief,
Uncle Al Goldston started the
show by making a curtain
speech. In slow and measured
tones with a careful Rooshian
accent, he told us what the show
was all about.

The first number was a rol-
licking ballad relating the ad-
ventures of one Ivan Scavitski
and Abdul Lamere. The scene
was thoroughly enjoyable. The
participants were: Arthur Alt-
man, Leon Rogow, Avram Gold-
stein, Sidney Swartz, Walter
Norwick, Joseph Singer, David
Epstein, Arthur Weiss, and Sam
Lorber.

The next number was en-
titled Petty Revenge, in which
Uncles Al and Bill with the aid
of Sid Kalmanowitz and Lou
Soupowitz revenged themselves
upon certain of the councillors.

Following this came the scene
of the March of the Wooden
Soldiers, with Harry Davidson,

Delmore Schwartz, Harold Jacobson, Sam Berman, and Eddie Riner. The next scene revealed a series of Russian Folk Dances in which Sidney Weiss, Harold Jacobson, Sam Berman, Harry Davidson, Delmore Schwartz, and Ed Riner took part.

The final scene gave us some insight into the working of the Russian Revolution. It was a splendid finale to a splendid production. The settings and costumes showed again the versatility and excellent craftsmanship of Uncles Bill Stein and Bob Finkel.

## SAILOR'S LAKE HIKE

By Harry Davisdon

Wednesday the 11th dawned bright and sunny. It was a glorious day for a hike, and it was with shining faces that we prepared for the long awaited hike to Sailor's Lake.

After putting our packs in the camp truck, we "hit the dusty trail." On reaching Tannersville, half of our party piled into the camp truck and rolled away. The remainder then marched over hill and dale, on the concrete trail, with Uncles Bob Finkel, Ick Himoff, and Irving Pearlman setting a fast pace. We finally reached Bartonsville and then Snydersville, where we demolished with lightning rapidity some ice-cream cones. We then come to the conclusion that in order to arrive at our destination, it necessitated hitch-hiking. Our hike thus far had taken three and a half hours, a record time, and it was with great regret that we broke up into groups of three to hail our taxies. We entered the grounds at Sailor's Lake in

organized formation and were greeted by the other members of the party who had preceded us. They had already eaten and we followed suit.

Then we went sight-seeing. The main attraction was a simple invention known as the safe-T.trail. It is a miniature scenic railway, on which tobaggon sleds are used. The sleds are locked in the grooves of the slide, and gaining momentum from the steep incline, skim over the water for about 25 yards and then sink in shallow water. After emerging from the water, greatly refreshed, we amused ourselves in the playground, until our cheerful bugler announced that supper was ready. After the meal had disappeared the word was given that we might perambulate about our leisure.

This was the cue that the Seniors had been anxiously waiting for, and the four musketeers, Maxie Kravitz, Abe Rentzler, Jack Segel, and your humble scribe went in search of fun. Thrills!! Galore!! Assembly blew, all too soon, and we gathered on the porch and sang and entertained until 9:30, when we repaired to our "Ritz Carlton suites" and before long were dead to the world.

The next morning, we took a long morning swim and then ate a hearty breakfast. Then the anticipated event was on, namely tobaggon riding. I am sure that we shall never forget the thrill of tobaggon sliding as we shot like meteors in varied and absurd positions. All too soon it ended. We then made our preparations for the return trip. Waiting for the camp bus to arrive, we sang all the songs and yelled all the cheers on the Po-

THE POCONOLA

Pocono bill of fare. Camp was reached at supper-time and in less time than it takes to relate it, Pocono camp knew the whole story, and it was agreed that the overnight hike to Sailor's Lake was a huge success.

## GAMMA MU GAMMA

Gamma Mu Gamma, the camp fraternity, was founded last year to foster the spirit of brotherhood among the campers at Pocono and to honor those boys who were outstanding by an offer of membership. Under the leadership of Uncles Al Goldston and Irwin Lichtenstein, it has made rapid strides this year and is regarded by the campers as a goal that one should strive to attain.

The present members are: Lou Soupowitz, President; Sid Weiss, Vice-President; Delmore Schwartz, Secretary; Nelson Verbit, Kenneth Schwartz, Harry Davidson, Sidney Haim, Herman Hochberg, Harold Jacobson, Sam Lorber, Abe Rentzler, Bert Ram Blumencranz, Sam Berman, and Ed Riner.

## POCONO BROADCASTINGS

with Uncle Joe L.

Arthur Lazaroff was the surprise of the Intermediate tennis journey. Arthur had never touched a racquet before coming to camp, yet he succeeded in winning third place.

Julius Horowitz is one of the special pets of Uncle Tarzan. Julie is one of the most active boys in the division.

An athlete of unusual versatility is Abe Rentzler. First in tennis, first in handball and first in that most strenuous of activities—chess.

Walter Norwick is one of the finest little gentlemen in the In-

termediate division. He is quiet, unassuming, and always obedient.

Ninety per cent of the joy that Uncle Irv. Lichtenstein finds in camp life is in his relationship with his best little camper, Harry Cutler. Harry is always on the alert, seeking all the joys that camp affords.

Sammy Maklin still remains the best liked youngster in the Junior division. Conspicuous among the things that we will remember from our life at Pocono, is Sammy's rendition of popular songs.

The most serious contender for the title that William T. Tilden now possesses, is none other than Allen Wollman. There is no more persistent occupant of the tennis courts than Allen.

Like the rising sun, Sammy Lorber's smiling face greets us in the morning.

## THE FINAL SHOW

(Continued from Page 4)

son, Sid Kalmanowitz, Lou Soupowitz, Sam Lorber, Herbert Rasumoff, Irving Tunick and Sidney Haim.

The fun was fast and furious. All the councillors were the targets of many humorous sallies, and the applause that greeted each "wise crack" was sufficient evidence of the appreciation of the audience. Pop Aaron and Uncles Irv Lichtenstein, Joe Lotterman, Al Goldston, Lester Gewetzr, and Ira Hirschberg were severely handled, to the delighted shouts of the campers. All in all it was a night that was full of fun and frolic, and one that will be remembered for a long while to come.
