Jr. High 1964 (1 of 2 weeks)

This photo is courtesy of Gwen Heavner Tokatz ... Let's name them all if we can. (note the rows in this picture are less defined than in some .. try to be as specific about location as you can ... there appear to be 4 rows kneeling on the ground ... do the best you can ... reference some known ids if needed)

1:1 James Kelly, 1:2 Rebecca Kelly 1:4 Robert Kelly 1:5 Paula Harden 1:10&11 those twins from Herrick whose names are just out of reach 1:14 David Jackson 1:26 Larry Bolla 2:1 Cindy Huffman 2:2 Susan Hentz 2:3 Linda Hill 2:7 Debbie May 2:13 Janet Gum 2:14 Charlotte Redmon 2:15 Linda Thomas 2:16 Gwen Schmidt 2:17 Debbie Vogan 2:24 Evan Mac Lockwood. Now the rows get messy, but still kneeling at 3:4 is John Beck, at 3:9 Paula Bush, I think Carla Underwood is kneeling 3:13 directly above the "64" and at 3:17 Jane Whited, 3:19 Bill Barton, 3:20 Roger Lamar. In the row above that merges in and out, 4:6 Judy Grafford 4:10 is Deb Fritz, 4:14 Vickie Nowlin, 4:18 Scott Cain, 4:19 Carolyn Stever, and 4:20 Carla Patton. Debbie and Paula are "together" again in this photo! Yeah! 5:1 Bob Kelly 5:2 Shirley Kelly 5:3 Harriet Albee 5:4 Jack Albee. Row 5 splits into three with Micheal Jackson above, Cheryl Lamb in the center and Bruce Nowlin below. Then continuing after Cherl is John Heston, Gary Thornburg and over three is Greg Heavner. Linda Gehrig is behind Carolyn Stever and Jim Taylor is behind Greg in the very back. Gwen Heavner is above the space between the p in Camp and the J -- not quite all the way back.

Where is Debbie Vogan? Found her! (Thanks, Holly!)And I don't see Russell Boatman either.

BOX HOCKEY

These photos date from the 50's to the 60's and that cute little blonde is from the 90's! Box hockey is a game that has remained a constant in the 50 + years of the camp. The original games where built by Frank Bush and several others (including Evan Lockwood of Bethalto). They were patched and reworked many times over the years and completely new ones where built in 1986 by Gary Monroe (father of the blonde!)

Were you a box hockey champion? Do you have a great box hockey story? How about battle scars from swinging the "sticks"?

Also if you know any of these players let us know!

These two young men are Andy Fritz (in the blue and blue... son of Rob Fritz) and Josh Monroe (son of Deb Fritz Monroe)

Does anyone know who Pop is playing with?











Even the girls got to play!

Lynne Gurley said..Sure looks like Carol Gurley walking with her head down.
