Girls' Diamond and Lower Social Hall, Mid 60's

Nothing quite like an action-packed ballgame...especially when most of the infield is standing at attention!  In the background, to the immediate right of the social hall, the girls' waterfront is visible. At frame right, one can see the Arts & Crafts shack. (Photo courtesy of Eric Mokotoff)

Camp Dalmaqua Logo

[cdal2.jpg]

Okay, here's where it begins to get scary...I still have my camper shirt.
Through the magic of digital image editing, the yellowed fabric has been eliminated to reveal the official logo of Camp Dalmaqua. This shirt (as well as an equivalent shirt for Camp Diana) was introduced in 1962 when the camp colors were changed from red & gray to red & white. The logo did not change for the remainder of the Kurtz era, i.e. through 1972.


S.A. Boys, 1971

Dianaland, 1960
[campgirlsbunk.jpg]
Seems that 1960 was a busy year for Herb Ross. Milton had him photographing everything from tree trunks to volleyball nets. This particular photo-advertisement was designed to appeal to those apprehensive parents who were sending young children away for the first time. And who better exemplified the term "happy campers" than the Pixie Girls?

Waiter Bunk, 1973

[campshave.jpg]

Camp life wasn't always fun and games. There were moments of sober reflection...yeah, right. Kenny Jacobsen, an original beauty-school dropout, puts the finishing touches on Gary Licker's head as Alan Ades waits in the wings.

Gary stalks off into the night, arriving at Bunk 15 to terrorize an unsuspecting (and very young) Bob Malos. Some of you remember Bob as a counselor and groupleader from the late 70s. All I can say is he was quite unprepared to meet up with a crazed waiter in the middle of the night.

1980-81

Here, in no particular order, are a collection of photos from the summers of 80 & 81, courtesy of Susan Moss-Levy. If you recognize anyone, give a holler. The lady in the clown outfit is Mrs. Mark Reiner...

Boo Boo '73
[campfender.jpg]
Am I cool, or what? (Stifling laughter) 'Course the the only song I knew in 1973 was the theme from "Bonanza". But, the Fender Stratocaster is a nice touch. It belonged to Danny Shapiro. Now, here's a picture of my son Jared playing my vintage 1950's Fender MusicMaster 3/4-size guitar...
