Chow line, 1966

?, Deb Fritz, Carla Underwood, Gwen Heavner, Jack Albee. Deb, you will want to edit. Is that your Grandmother Schmidt closest on the right?

Some 1966 classes

Row 2:1 Carla Patton and other end of row, Marsha Reevis. Janet Thornburg is at the close end of Row 3. Big class, huh?

Seth Wilson is teaching. Man in center of row of women is Leroy Schmidt. Dan and Mary Diamond are in the middle of the back row.

Dick Baines is teaching. Young Robert Kelly is on the far left, first visible face in the row of boys. Front row of girls: Karen Bush, Judy Roodhouse, Carol Roodhouse, then three over Rebecca Kelly. Alice Schroeder Baines is overseeing behavior from the back row.

Stax -- last team from High School 1967

Okay, I know there is no logo ... I tried, honestly ... I spent more than 3 hours searching the internet for a "Stax" logo but none was to be found. (If anyone can come up with one that would be great! Email it to Bondcamp54@gmail.com and I will insert it!) But for now here is Team STAX with roster and picture.

1966 Senior High Week

Dan Clymer leads a meeting. Starting at Center in the plaid, Gary Thornburg, Pat Heston, John Heston, Paula Bush.

1985 Sweetheart Banquet

1985 From slides

These are not in the best shape but may be of interest to the campers of this era. Can you help us ID?

1966 High School Week

Singing Group was probably from a Bible College. That is Bev Wagoner next to last on the right. In the volleyball game, Frank Bush is the player on the left looking to hit the ball.

Glenn Bourne of St. Louis Christian College is the Vespers speaker.

1966? 1969? Pee Wee or First Chance Week

Karen Bush at the ring toss; she was 11 in 1969 so 1966 may be right.

Greg Heavner did both music and recreation this week. Again, marked 1966 but possibly as late as 1969.

1960 Junior Girls

Is that Jane Whited in 1:4? -- if she is a camper then these Junior Girls weeks were a few years earlier than 1966.

These were also marked 1966 but I think they are a little earlier. They are also marked Junior Girls and if Deb Fritz in row 3 next to one of the Williams twins is a junior it isn't 1966.
I agree with Paula, this is earlier. My best guess would be 1960, my first year at camp because 1) I see no one younger than me in the photos and 2) there are several older that me ie Francis Steele in the top photo.

1966? Maybe slightly later?

These were in an envelop marked 1966. I think they could be 1967 or even 1968. What do you think? In top photo that is Gwen Heavner next to John Beck.

In second photo we have Roger, Bill Barton, John Beck and John Heston in the row of boys drying dishes.

Not sure if this is the same year.

Lots of familiar faces here -- Bruce Nowlin in the back, last visible row. Pat Heston and Roger at end of row near top of page. Bill Barton and John Beck in next row forward, and Gwen Schmidt first girl whose face we can see in front row.

A few more 1984 photographs from slides

Also 1984

1984 more slides

A few more from 1984

1954 Class

In a box marked "1984" we found this slide that must be 1954. This is Mark Weaver (who preached at Old Ripley) teaching a class down by, what will later be, the lake. Notice . .. no lake!!

The old dining hall - taken down to make room for new

This was a facinating series. The old Dining Room building was built in 1954. Thirty years later it had served it's purpose and was torn down to make room for a new building. I was associated with this building for more than half of it's lifetime. I have a lot of memories . . . I knew the men who built it. I help repair it and build on to it. I helped paint it at least twice. As I viewed the slides, I couldn't help thinking about the hundreds and perhaps thousands of kids who walked through those doorways for meals and fellowship.
