Well after
the fire that consumed the old dining hall, the fireplace and chimney
are all that remain standing in July of 1971. Eventually much of
the debris would be buried out in the kettles. |
 |
Without a
dining hall, the kitchen staff prepared meals in a big tent donated by
the Army through the hard work of Congressman Glenn Davis. Thank
goodness the weather was good all summer! |

Beth calls
this "Shy Cat" from first session girls camp, 1971. I'll have her
explain this later! |
 |
Ann Scholtes
and Teri Sagen perform "Love" in the Staff Show of first session girls
camp 1971. |
 |
The
counselors take the stage for the Pajama Party during first
session. Anyone remember who won for best p.j.'s? |
 |
Shiloh
tentmates must be heading to the waterfront. Pictured are Susan
Little, Marjie Besore, Pam Riedesel, Nancy Linde, Laurie Adamy, and
Susan Swatek. |
 |
As they wait
for their rides home, Shiloh campers Laurie Adamy, Susan Little, Nancy
Linde, and Pam Riedesel page through a teen magazine. Is that a
picture of Donny Osmond?!? |

Beth Matzek
signs in on the wall of the Craft Shop in 1971. At that time, the
Craft Shop was located under the Lodge but at the other end of the
basement from where it is now. |
 |
A magician
entertains the campers during the Staff Show in second session girls
camp 1971. Who was that? |
 |
This Staff
Show skit is called "Raggedy Ann & Andy", and it stars Laurie
"Whitey" Whiteford and Jan "Herman" Thompsen. |
 |
Apache camper
Michelle Lesage goofs around during free time. |
 |
During the
second session Staff Show, Lynn Burnham and Debbie Berg perform the
skit "Lambie". Not sure who is hidden behind Lynn. |
 |
Amazingly,
after all these years, Beth can still name all seven campers in this
picture of the Apache tent! The girls are Darlene Braun, Robin
Christiaansen, Michelle Lesage, Penny Frangos, Caroline Mallat, Jackie
Pabanz, and Christina Hugly. |
 |
A very
popular skit during the late '60's and early '70's was "The Dating
Game". In this version, a female staff member chooses
from Jerry "Swish" Frank, Rick DeFauw? (help), and Mike
Toepfer. Mike basically still looks like that! |
 |
The campers
on the flagstones are treated to a water ski show in second session
1971. |
 |
The AC year
must have been very busy for Beth Matzek as this is the only picture
she has to offer for 1972! |
