1959 A few more candids

The class is taught by Don Ray.

Bill pitching.

Charlie Greer swings. That might be Fred McKean catching.

Not sure of the year - early '60s

We posted an earlier picture of "throw Charlie in the lake." This was taken at the same time, but shows the faces better. The man on the right is Carrol Lankston, a missionary to Mexico.

This class (I think) was being taught by Bill Griffin

Corn Eating Contest 1960 Jr. Hi Week

(Thanks to Sandi Heston Rinderer -- all comments and IDs are her fine and faithful work.) 1:1 Ronnie Schreiber, 1:2 Normae Dorsch, 1:14 Lois Anderson, 1:16 Carla Clover; 1:17 Cindy Harden 2:8 Judy Paine, 2:16 Darlene Lewis 3:3 Diana Rafferty, 3:7 Linda Reavis, 3:12 Barb Haley, 3:16 Ronnie Turner 4:4 Jane Day, 4:8 Ron Lambert, 4:9 Ron Herrod 5:1 Sandy Heston, 5:2 Nancy Spratt, 5:7 Becky Huck, 5:12 Rose Motzer 6:1 Bill Griffin, 6:10 Betty Schreiber, 6:11 Gil Schreiber, 6:12 Robbie Schreiber, 6:13 Larry Zumwalt, 6:15 Johnny King, 6:16 Danny Clymer, 6:17 Harriet Griffin, 6:18 Jeannie Ray, 6:19 Don Ray,6:20 Dan Williams, 6:21 Gene Talbot, 6:22 Helen Talbot, 6:23 Charlie Greer

In first corn-eating contest picture, the second boy, in dark shirt is Robbie Schreiber and the girl is Cindy Harden. Notice the "H" on her blouse? "Initial blouses" were all the rage then!

In the second picture, notice off to the left, a smiling Dan Williams ( I love that picture, it is the Dan we all remember! I can just hear his laugh!) and to his right, in dark blouse, is Nancy Spratt.

There is a boy way in the back, right, with a white hat and t-shirt on. I think that is Lew Williams.

And there is a darkhaired woman leaning out, looking down the table. I think that is Betty Schreiber, Robbie's mom.

Camp Committees, 1963

Frank Bush recalls that, in addition to the directors, "The way the camp was organized was a group of preachers formed the Camp Committee and did most of the "running" of the camp program. Here is the committee in 63 (or what ever year these pictures are from.The Directors were also organized into various committees. The second picture might be of the property committee." Top photo: Front row: Bob Kelly, Merv Moberly, Charlie Greer, Jim Correll Back row: Gene Talbot, Tom Ewald, Frank Bush. Bottom photo left to right: Tom Ewald, Dan Bowling, John Stone OR Max Pope, Floyd Jordan seated and Merv Moberly standing behind him.

What are Dan and Charlie doing here? 1963

Is Danny receiving some kind of "stocking" award? Order of the Garter? The girls are offering more and he has one on his lapel, awarded by Charlie for...anyone know the rest of the story?

Classes, 1964

Duane Corley is teacher on right. Or is it Dennis Corley?

Charlie Greer is teaching the class in the Chapel. Mike Heston is teaching in the woods.

Faculty - Student Game, maybe 1960?

Looks like Charlie Greer on second. Jay Young is pitching.

2nd Junior Week, 1959 Group Picture

Dad had this marked as a Junior Girls week, but there are enough boys that I wonder if splitting by gender came later? Not sure of some of these, but best guesses... 2:3 Patty Rush 2:13 Barb Haley 3:5 Danny Clymer 3:11 Jay Young 4:5 Pop Smith 4:13 Charlie Greer 4:14 Joe Putman

Vespers, 1961

Charlie Greer, 3rd row left. The man in the suit is Bill Stark (Probably the speaker). There are several G'ville kids in this shot. I see Fred Wiseman, front row left, send from end. Sorry so difficult to see on this one but couldn't resist that little tree in the ailse that we all walked around for so many years.

Another reader identified the following: Left of center: Back row l -r Bob Kinney, Mike Heston, Bill Vandervoort. Right of center: Row 2 3rd girl from right end is Judy Feher Row 3 Two girls on right end are Kathy Peterson and Linda Reavis Row 5 on left hand is Alice Schroeder Back row tall guy left end Jim Correll.

Frank Bush remembers, "It is funny that you should mention that little tree. Back in 1955, we didn't have seats (the audience sat on the grass . . . higher up the hill.) We had a speaker (last name was Steadman) who preached standing next to that tree. All week long he kept stumbling over it (it was very small) and at one point threatened to yank it up. We debated as to whether we should dig it up, but the majority were like me . . . We didn't want to destroy something unless we had to."

Swimming, 1959

In first photo: Is woman on the beach in plaid dress June Price? Is guy walking out of water onto beach Tom Ewald? Is guy at far right up to his neck in water Norman Ray, it looks like his head?In second photo: girl w/o swim cap, leaning over to left is Joyce Mains. The man under attack is Charlie Greer. Mike Bush is in the foreground in a life jacket.

1959 Faculty Student Ball Game

Tom Ewald is the batter. The man leaning against the backstop is Bill Griffin. Charlie Greer in white t-shirt and glasses, second right of the backstop in the background. The little guy watching the game in glasses and black shirt looks like it could be Danny Clymer.

1960 High School pics

Being dean was tough on Gil Schreiber.

I'm not sure about Charlie Greer's box hockey technique. Bill Griffin is other box hockey player.

Boys dorm. In boys dorm picture Larry Wisely is shirtless boy in front of mirror, tall guy is Larry Dickey, Fred McKean is the boy in a dark shirt in middle of picture and Joe Feher is behind looking over Fred's right shoulder.

Another memory from everybody's favorite life guard... The scene in the boys dorm: The great big guy is Larry Dickey. Larry was from either Flora or Fairfield, I don’t remember which. He was Bill Stark’s nephew and would often come to camp during the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. Fred McKean is also in that picture.

Larry, Fred, Norman Ray, and I had what was called the “Coke Bottle Quartet”. We would all wear suits. I would open the bottle of coke then hand it to Norman. Norman would hold it up to the light and examine it for color, then for aroma. Norman would then hand it to Larry who would chug it (very, very fast—faster than it could be poured out onto the ground. We timed it. He deployed some sort of sucking method). The finale was that Fred McKean would belch loudly into a microphone. It was, as I recall, a very popular performance.

Margaret Couvey (married Jack Ross).

Russell Ross fishing on the new lake.

Campfire in color circa 1960

Charlie Greer is the speaker. Frank Bush says, "This was shot with Ecktachrome film, which yields a positive image. I shot this with an open bulb, electronic flash. I was disappointed in the outcome. I was hoping for a picture that would capture the spirit of a campfire service." I don't know -- I think it captures the spirit of a capfire service.

One of 4 -- a Life Recruit Week, 1958

Must be a very early week -- the pics were in teams like this rather than the whole week together. Recognize anyone? These rows are a little hard to follow -- let's see this as three rows, the first starting with the girl in the flowered skirt, the second with the tall girl in the light dress on her left and behind, and the third mostly guys.

(Published from comments and an email from Mike Heston) 1:4 June Huck (?); 1:6 girl w/ glasses is Lois Corbus; 2:4 striped shirt, Ron Holtzhauer; 3:1 Norman Ray, 3:2 Gerald Greenlee, 3:4 Gilbert Schreiber, 3:5 Mary Kinney, 3:7 Charlie Greer

1959 campers

Ron Holzhauer is the jumper. Charlie Greer is at left. Any other I.D.s? Sandy Heston Rinderer indicated, "In the pix with Ron Holzhauer jumping.....boy on the right holding the volleyball is Mike Burris. I think the dark-haired girl in background to Ron's left is Charlotte Schroeder. Blond girl sitting on ground is Sandy Schrumpf from Greenville. "

Now Charlotte Schroeder I know. What a fashion statement!

Here's Charlie Greer in 196?

Does everyone remember Charlie Greer? And singing Happy Birthday?
