Subject: Camp Manitou Through History I

Camp Manitou Through History: A Good Time Had by All

It was just after World War II, and Americans were fond of slogans. So Camp Manitou can be forgiven for having opened with the motto "Health, Happiness, Cooperation and Industry." It should have been "A Good Time Had By All."

The 52 campers and 16 staff that first day couldn't possibly have envisioned what the camp would look like, or even if it would exist, half a century later. Just about the only things remaining from the time are the layout of the main road, the flagpole area, and the Lodge. But the feeling of family and the intensity of teamwork have endured.

B.C.: Before Camp

Eastern Abenaki Indians hunted and fished on the land that is now Camp Manitou. They lived off porcupine and beaver in the fall and summer and moose and caribou in the winter, trading furs with other tribes for cornmeal and tobacco. Centuries later, just as World War I broke out in Europe, Dr. E. E. Gillette would choose the lakefront for a fishing resort he called Sandy Beach Camp. He built the lodge that overlooks the waterfront in 1914 with a stone from each of the 48 states in the nation at that time, plus every element then known — including gold — embedded in the fireplace that still bears his initials. Shellshocked in the war, Gillette was committed to an insane asylum, and he never saw the camp again.

The old dining hall was built about the same time as the Lodge and sat across the road from the present-day Bunk 1 and the office. Made entirely of wooden logs planed smooth on the inside, it would be leveled by a giant fire in the 1960s.

The land owned by the fishing camp extended only to the area where the laundry now sits and, from there, to about 20 feet west of the Diamond No. 1 first baseline. An old stone wall still marks the boundary between the camp and its neighbors. None of the cabins from the fishing camp remain.

By the end of the next world war, Sis and Henry Marcus were running a hotel called the Nautilus Inn in Nantasket, Massachusetts. Guests had been complaining there was nowhere for their children to spend summers in their newfound postwar leisure time. Sis's brother, Joe Nathanson, who would later open Camp Matoaka for Girls across the lake, talked Henry into founding Manitou in 1947. Henry was to pick the site while Joe, a high school all-star athlete, would choose the site and recruit the campers.

Henry settled on the Belgrade Lakes, where several of the nation's most distinguished camps already operated. Manitou would share East Lake with Camp Somerset for Girls, which had been founded in 1898, the co-educational Camp Lakeridge, Camp Lown, and Camp Eastwood, an adult camp where relatives of Somerset girls stayed and golfed. Somerset, Eastwood, Lown, and Lakeridge have all since closed.

A Beautiful Manitou Morning

Henry signed the deed to camp on November 6, 1947. Jerry Nathanson, no relation to the founding family, claims to have been the first camper to sign up for Manitou. His son Neal was to follow in his footsteps 30 years later.

The first "beautiful Manitou morning" dawned July 6, 1947, the Manitou Messenger reported. The Messenger was published for the first time on July 13 with Joe at the controls of the hand-cranked mimeograph machine when he wasn't busy with his other duties as co-director. There were 52 campers and nine counselors, and they arrived at camp by train from Boston because the roads to central Maine were rudimentary. Boston University two-sport All-American Saul Nechtem was head counselor and the waterfront director was Grant Koch; the doctor was Warren Priest, who wrote several camp songs based mainly on university and college fight songs and still used today.

There were seven camper cabins, none of which remain. Big Chief Buffalo and his braves smoked a peace pipe at the first campfire, Color War was called Civil War and the first College League teams were NYU, BU, Yale and Columbia. Competition included boxing and evening activities included debates, among them one following a Somerset dance social over whether women should be allowed to use cosmetics.

The first camp movie was "In the Navy," starring Abbott and Costello, in 1948. Color War that year pitted Mel Levey for Maroon against Grey chief Henry Pappas.

Aquaplaning was introduced in 1950, with campers pulled on a board behind a motorboat. When Bunk 3 freshmen were asked that year what they wanted to be when they grew up, Max Westler answered: "A cowboy and a star in westerns, so I can meet pretty girls." (Years later, Max would marry one of the camp nurses; theirs was among dozens of Manitou marriages.) Gray, led by Howie Kassler, beat Bob Rubin's Maroon.

In 1951, Wisconsin and Princeton tied for first place in College League and the plaques were faithfully reversed each year until the dining hall burned down in 1969. A tradition known as wishing candles began when, on the last night, campers made a wish on candles that were floated out into the lake. Apparently, somebody eventually wished that the tradition be stopped.

The most popular Bunk Night destination in the early 1950s was Toulouse's, a snack bar and cafZ on the highway only yards from the camp's back road (it's now the game room and make-your-own-sundae bar). Alan Rachins, who would later act in Broadway's "Oh, Calcutta" and TV's "L.A. Law" and "Dharma and Greg," made his Manitou debut as Brother Martin in "The Black Arrow." Bob Marcus was named Bunk 3's top tetherballer and Arnie Biederman led Maroon to victory over Gray's Lakie Bizios.

In 1954, Haskell Kassler's Gray edged Ted Freedman's Maroon by half a point.

The Rec Hall and Diamond No. 2 both were built in 1955, when Bob Marcus also finally passed his beginning swim test.

Sonny Slater led the Gray team over Maroon's Neal Feldman in 1956, when a social with Camp Matoaka was dubbed the Stardust Stomp.

1957 - 1966

In 1957, Ricky 'Tarzan' Silver took on Stanley 'Kosher' Sohn in Fight Night, but the best punch wasn't thrown by the fighters. Uncle Saul went down for the count when his nose got too close to the microphone wire. The College League deans were Irv Labovitz of Utah, Sam Singer of Montana, Mike Sheff of Idaho and Danny Rorke of Colorado. Sheff was Gray chief, Rorke Maroon.

The first camp showboat was Doug Krupp who, at a Fight Night in 1958 blew kisses to the crowd, used a John L. Sullivan fighting stance and bounced up and down like he was on a pogo stick, according to the Messenger correspondent on the scene. Maroon's Dick Dyer beat Gray's Matty Sagan when the cross-country relay had to be re-run because of a mistake made by judge Jimmie Sandler.

In 1959, camp got a new bus and it was named the "Trip Day" by Jonathan Kusko. Somehow it would continue to make it through the hills of Oakland continuously until the summer of 1975. The old clay basketball courts were tarred and the inaugural barnstorming trip was held. So was the first King Neptune Day. Delmo Alberghini was the new waterfront director, Charlie Hershman athletic director and Charlie Rose music director. (Hershman would later open Sharon Country Day Camp in Massachusetts.) Color War was won by Irv Labovit's Gray team over Arnie Sagan's Maroon.

The camp acquired a new 40-horsepower speedboat, which was named the Uncle Henry, in 1960, and built a new nature cabin near the site of the current Bunk 19. The hot new dance at the Matoaka socials was the Madison. The College League track meet still featured softball-, volleyball-, basketball- and football-throwing, a ping pong ball-on-a-spoon relay and a kangaroo relay. Larry Babbit's Maroon beat Dicky Diutsh's Gray. The dock at the waterfront was rearranged in the shape of a T.

The cross-country relay replaced boat races as the penultimate event in Color War in 1961, and Gray with chief Tom Young won the war over Mark Shuman's Maroon. The talent show featured a musical group that called itself the Nebbishes, featuring Jason Grossman, Paul Kaufman and David Chasen.

The camp got a burro named Sad Sack in 1962 and welcomed its first two foreign counselors, Karl Gruber of Austria and Clive Darlow of England. The new athletic director was Charles Kramer and the waterfront director Russell Kidd. At the first social of the year with Camp Matoaka, campers danced the Twist. In the College League scavenger hunt, the campers were asked if they would want to be an astronaut; one responded that he was afraid of heights. Steve Dephoure's Maroon beat Joel Feldstein's Gray and the first-ever David Chasen skiing award went to Andy Cushner.

Dennis Sullivan joined the staff as waterfront director in 1963 and Uncle Myles Marcus used three counselors to demonstrate the principles behind the solar eclipse on July 20 that summer. An airplane dropped team lists to break Color War, and Gray's Jeff Cross beat Maroon's John Pugsley.

In 1964, Michael Harris celebrated his bar mitzvah in the Rec Hall. The first Jimmy Epstein tennis award went to Jimmy Foster and Don Ferrari was the new athletic director. Tennis courts were added next to Diamond No. 1. Lee Saltzberg's Kalamazoo won College League over Steve Dephoure's UNH, Frank Worthley's New Mexico and John Adam's Nebraska. Among the scavengers: one tube of "that greasy kid stuff." Max Westler's Maroon beat Pat O'Brien's Gray.

Another new camp bus, know affectionately as " the Gasser," was added in 1965. So was Thomas Fox, known affectionately as the athletic director. Max Westler's Oberlin won College League; Kerry Birmingham led Clemson, Dick Albee Middlebury and Carl Glickman Providence. Uncle Bob Shaw parachuted from a plane piloted by camp photographer Russ Longley onto the field. Johnny Most, the legendary voice of the Boston Celtics, came to sign autographs. And Manitou won the first-ever East Pond Sailing Regatta. Stuart Silverman won best all-around athlete for a second straight year, the first camper to do so since Jim Palais. A Gray monster emerged from the lake to be met by a Maroon Indian, and Color War was on. Lee Saltzberg's Maroon beat Carl Glickman's Gray.

In 1966, Manitou had a 20th summer reunion and almost all the original campers returned - in their original uniforms. Birch Island was added, and College League was won by Larry Bowie's Maryland over Bob Saifer's Minnesota, Jeff Sones' Rice and Bob Marcus's Lehigh. The music of the Rolling Stones and Beach Boys wafted from camp socials, and the new dance craze was the Kick, a cross between the Freddy and the Watusi. Manitou's own band, the Clydes, performed at socials, which had go-go girls dancing in the basketball cages. Dave Morin and Ted Ball crashed through a 20th summer mural to break Color War. Morin's Gray beat Ball's Maroon.

1967 - 1976

Bob Rathe's North Carolina won College League in 1967, followed by Bob Saifer's Washington, Bob Marcus's Bradley and Ted Ball's Citadel. Frank Bianco and Bob Nardone were the new co-athletic directors. And the Boston Celtics' Larry Siegfried visited camp to run a clinic, as he would for three summers until he was traded to the San Diego franchise. Late in the summer, when the lights went out for Taps, they wouldn't go on again and a flaming thunderbird was seen on the docks at the waterfront. Two counselors emerged and started arguing over who would be the Maroon chief. The dispute was taken to the Indian Village, where the real chiefs emerged: Bob Saifer for Gray and Bob Marcus for Maroon. Maroon was down 431 to 430 going into the counselor tug, but Gray's strongest counselor — Andy Cushner — was late returning from a day off and missed the staff tug. Gray coach Stu Silverman put a medman in a hunter's position in the cross-country, but the error was discovered too late and Gray won the emotional war.

Cushner qualified for the U.S. Olympic team in the javelin in 1968, the same year that the varsity basketball team entered its 12th-straight undefeated season. Steven "Flower Power" Housman fought Johnny "Fightin' Fountain" Penn on Fight Night, which also pitted John "Pretty Boy" Ullian against Jonny "Cassius" Kaye. Bob Marcus finally won College League when his Duquesne defeated Arthur Chansky's Alabama, Bob Saifer's Michigan and Max Westler's Swathmore. And Gray won for the third year in a row as Jeff Sones bested Chansky's Maroon team.

The burning of the dining hall on July11 (as on-duty counselor Uncle Bob Wasserman sat on the porch at the opposite end reading a book) threatened to close the camp in 1969. But counselors moved picnic tables inside the Rec Hall and the Red Cross brought in a mobile kitchen. Campers never missed a meal and grass was growing on the site of the fire by Visiting Day. A professional hypnotist, E.G. Matthews, persuaded Gary Rubin that he was the camp director, and made other campers forget their own names. Everyone watched man's first landing on the moon on a black-and-white TV outside Bunk 10 on July 21. Back on earth, Peter Jacobs' Amherst beat Andy Cushner's Colgate, Biff Wallack's Hartford and Steve Lerman's Villanova. Jimmy Gerson's Maroon defeated Steve Lerman's Gray.

The new dining hall opened in 1970, and there were new tennis courts and a street hockey rink added. Joel Peckham arrived as athletic czar. Arthur Chansky ran the new "folk-rock" Friday night services (and no one … even … clapped). Evening programs included take-offs on the "Dating Game" and "Beat the Clock" and a social with Matoaka took the form of a dance marathon, with Uncle Stu Silverman on roller skates wearing a referee's shirt. Duke also invented the Manitou Marathon; counselor Bob McGrath was the first-ever winner, with a time of 22:22. Jimmy Barron was the first camper winner. Sixty one runners started the race and 55 finished it. The first eat-athon was also held, and the winner was Mark Seligman, who downed 12 watermelon slices. Five-year campers returned from Quebec to find the camp abandoned. It was a gigantic prank, and everyone stormed down from their hiding places in the woods for dinner.

The 1970 Color War break is still considered the best ever. Rumors of a prowler terrified campers and counselors alike so much that many slept with baseball bats. Uncle Jerry Lester, an auxiliary policeman, even pulled his gun at one point (it wasn't loaded). The stories culminated in the discovery of a man in the water one night — a male Matoaka counselor who was in on the ruse — and chiefs Arthur Chansky and Steve Lerman emerged from the darkness as about 20 other fearless staffers unknowingly ganged up on the hapless "prowler." Lerman's Gray beat Chansky's Maroon.

Wesleyan was the only College League team ever to take first in every event at the presentations (and to have two deans, Don Rosenberg and Bob Wasserman, who took over after Rosenberg left camp). But Wesleyan still came in fourth in College League, behind South Carolina, American and Temple.

Joe Gearon took over as waterfront director in 1971, when the camp had its first-ever sailing socials, first intercamp soccer game, and first fencing instructionals. Stu Silverman and Bruce Kraft appeared on the basketball dressed as Color War chiefs during a snipe hunt, but the real chiefs were Bob Marcus for Maroon and Joel Peckham for Gray. Maroon won, despite the Gray strategy that earned Peckham the nickname "Dirty Pool" when he greased up his campers with baby oil before the flag rush. Richie Miller knocked down the goalpost with a well-placed forearm during a controversial Color War football game.

Go-carts were introduced in 1972, and were driven around the circle in front of the dining hall. The new bus was named "Old Yeller." Turnabouts were replaced with sailfish and sunfish and new soccer goals were built. The water war was introduced and the varsity basketball team had its 16-year winning streak snapped by Camp Powhaton, 83-67. Uncle Bob Marcus spent $4.25 on the batting machine at Funland and didn't hit a single ball out of the infield. Evening activities featured a roast of Stuart "Beaver" Litel by the Manitou Friars. Skip Trafton's Allegheny won College League thanks to its presentation of "The Godfather," starring John "Brain" Ullian. Peter Roblin's Houston, Arnie Newberger's Bowling Green and Peter Fryfield's Kenyon came in second, third, and fourth. Rumors spread that Uncle Stu Silverman had been in a car accident and was recuperating even as Color War broke. At breakfast, Duke was present in a full cast and pouting that he was not a chief. He started yelling at Uncle Myles because of it, Bruce Kraft restrained him, Silverman ripped off his bandages and the real war was on. Silverman's Gray defeated Kraft's Maroon when Jimmy Solomon crossed the finish line of the cross-country relay five feet in front of his brother Harold.

The track was built in 1973 and Jim Hadley, a black belt in Tae Kwan Do, became waterfront director. Stu Silverman's Buffalo won College League on the strength of its presentation, "The Ten Commandments," making Duke the only person in camp history ever to be dean of three winning College League teams. Jeff Goldshine's Auburn came in second, Peter Roblin's URI third and Doug Rinkowski's Rochester fourth. Manitou avenged its Powhaton loss of the previous year to win 54-45 in basketball. The first invitational basketball tournament and track meets were held. And a helicopter dropped a dummy on the ballfield to break Color War. Bruce Kraft's Maroon beat Peter Roblin's Gray by fewer than five points.

In 1974, John Beard became the first British College League dean. His Oxford team — the first British college — won, followed by Jimmy Rubenstein's Florida, Mike Glasser's Marquette and Stu Chasen's Lafayette. "The Cow Kicked Nellie in the Belly on the Farm" was introduced into immediate classic status and the greatest-ever fight night pitted Sammy "Whammy" Wells against Jeff "Mad Dog" Baker, who wowed the crowd with his windmill style. And the first camp Olympics pitted Russia against China, Nigeria and Israel. Jimmy Rubinstein's Maroon beat Gray, led by Beard, who also was the first non-American chief. On August 9, a trip day, everyone went to restaurants and stores with TVs so they could watch Richard Nixon's resignation speech.

Five new kayaks were added in 1975. So were a new lacrosse field, baseball score- boards and ultimate Frisbee. The card game "Louie" was popular in the cabins, thanks to the instruction of Howie "Sweetbread Sam" Zwillinger. Bunk 14 streaked at lineup to protest the late return of its laundry. And Evan Kaufman protested an instructor's suggestion that he practice fencing thrusts against a tree because "trees are our friends." Herb Magid's Connecticut won College League against Andy Arenson's Johns Hopkins, Mark "Razz" Rifkin's Cincinnati and Tom Anastasia's SMU. Uncle Bob faked drowning and Uncle Myles went to save him, but it was all a Color War break. Only one part wasn't planned: the moment then the camp's movie camera was kicked into the water accidentally. Bob Dressel's Gray defeated Herb Magid's Maroon.

Steve Curley became head counselor in 1976, when the camp celebrated its nation's bicentennial with an all-American buffet and day-long special events. Uncle Dean Goodwin arrived from England, though no one could understand a word he said when he made his nightly kayaking announcements. Bob "Waldo" Waldstein lost by TKO to Eric Vayle on fight night. The most popular subject of dining hall cheers was Al "the Kiddies' Pal" Davidson. Stu Bayak's ASU won College League over Gary Morrow's NC State, Jimmy "Egga" Roblin's Denver and David Rosenthal's San Diego State. A UPS truck dropped off packages for Stuart "Beaver" Litel and David "Doc Rubin one night at lineup, but it turned out the Color War chiefs were inside. Andy Arenson's Gray team beat Herb Magid's Maroon.

1977 - 1986

In 1977, Bob Johnston took over as waterfront director. Harris Weiner's Washington & Lee won College League, besting Stu Bayuk's UNLV, Dean Goodwin's Cambridge and Steve Fried's Louisville. UNLV's "Pidman and Rebel Boy" and Louisville's "Saturday Night Live" tied in the presentations. Phil Silverman began his long entertainment career by singing "Suzy Snowflake and "The V-Day Blues" in the dining hall. The highlight of the summer was a come-from-behind victory led by Mike Kline over Skylemar in the Manitou Invitational Basketball Tournament. Two motorcycles roared into the Rec Hall to break Color War, in which Stu Bayuk's Maroon defeated Dean Goodwin's Gray.

Jim Nosel and Mike Patota impersonated Czechoslavakian "wild and crazy guys" at a 1978 Matoaka social and Nosel also hung from the hood of a moving bus on the way to Boothbay Harbor. The very first Club Manitou featured a full dinner menu with such delicacies as Jelly Con Peanut Butter and East Lake Cake; couples could even take a moonlit golf cart ride.

Dave Leunig's Maryland won College League over Seth Averback's Hofstra, Johnny Penn's Suracuse and Dana Barron's UMass — the first college name to be used a second time. A police car with searchlights helped break Color War, during which Maroon chief Harris Weiner made his team skip down to their bunks after a humiliating loss in the flag rush. But Weiner's Maroon ended up beating Peter Kubicki's Gray.

A new batting cage was added in 1979, Myles Marcus's last summer and Bob Marcus's first as owner. Many campers walked around covering their heads after hearing that the Skylab spacecraft might fall to earth over Maine. The Manitou varsity baseball team defeated a counselor team 2-1 behind the pitching of Harry Raphael and Philip Silverman. Mel Crotty led a late-night raid on Camp Matoaka, putting peanut butter on the water slide. Philip Silverman and Eric Weiner starred in a Manitou/Matoaka presentation of "Grease" at the end of the summer. Harris Weiner's Bowdoin beat Dave Leunig's Maine, Steve Fried's BU and Marty Nager's Colby. Dean Goodwin's Gray team beat Marty Nager's Maroon.

Marc Jacobs returned as drama director and starred in the musical "Hair" in 1980, when Bob Saifer joined Bob Marcus in running the camp. Stu Silverman was head counselor and Laurel Silverman and Mel Crotty shared waterfront director duties. New counselor George Carter thought orange juice was coming out of the long-dormant taps when he first turned on the water in his cabin during orientation. Alan Davidson's Davidson won College League against Stuart Rifkin's Georgetown, Jeff Covington's Youngstown State and Alex Weiner's Notre Dame. The winning presentation was Davidson's "Planet of the Yaf," starring Steve Stein as the inimitable Peter Yaffe, who longs for his people to conquer the proprietors of Jade Island Chinese Restaurant. A seaplane opened Color War by dropping the chiefs at the waterfront. Steve Featherstone's Maroon beat Andy Arenson's Gray.

Dean Goodwin was head counselor by 1981, when the camp added computers and a Scuba program under the direction of Jim "Sergeant" Potter. Uncle Bob purchased the famous Jungle Float for the lake, but no one could figure out how to assemble it. Pieces of the Jungle Float still find their way into docks, buildings and backstops. Steve "Shap" Shapiro entertained with his rendition of the Muppets song (he would later have a nationally syndicated sports radio talk show), and George "Hurricane" Carter with "Point/Counterpoint." Steve Balfour ate pickles with every meal, including breakfast. Andy Arenson booked the front four rows of the Waterville Armory to watch George "The Animal" Steele and other professional wrestlers. Phil Silverman's Dartmouth won College League. Steve Gordon's LSU was second, Robby Schlackman's UPenn third and Alex Weiner's Michigan fourth. Weiner's Maroon defeated Gordon's Gray, however.

In 1982, Amy Marcus joined the family, and Bunks 17 and 18 were built. Peter Pereira was program director and Andy Arenson head counselor. Sammy Wells's Baltimore won College League over Bruce Cohen's USC, David Marcus's Yale and Glenn Frank's Boston College. A helicopter dropped two chiefs onto the ballfield to break Color War. Gray chief Mike Kline turned the Zumba over to Dick Bolduc and Vi the Laundry Lady, who led Gray in cheers dressed in full Indian regalia. Wayne Pass captured two 25-point flags in a single rush in the last minute of the flag rush, later came from almost a full lap behind to edge Todd Cortell in a mile relay at the track meet, and broke three out of five camp records in the pentathlon. Maroon's Phil Silverman beat Kline's Gray.

Rod Crosby was the new waterfront director in 1983, when the directors' condos sprang up and the Mr. Manitou pageant debuted. David Lourie was the first winner. Glenn Frank's Roger Williams won College League, beating Jeff Wickman's Minnesota, George Carter's DePaul and Arthur Flashman's Ohio State. In Color War, Sam Well's Maroon team beat Del Lomas's Gray.

In 1984, Bob Bullock began his long Manitou stay as waterfront director and Cathy the Nurse earned the name "The Iron Maiden" for her tough demeanor. When she returned later to work in the laundry, she would be renamed "The Ironing Maiden." George Carter entertained the camp with his rendition of the rooster cheer. The musical "Dreams" was written and directed by Marc Jacobs. Mike Kline's Miami beat Jeff Wickman's Wichita State, Alex Weiner's Providence and Marc Ingalls' Kentucky.

Dean Goodwin and Arthur Chansky shared head counselor duties in 1985, when Jeff "Wicky" Wickman was bar mitzvahed as an evening activity, complete with circumcision (behind the scenes). Also, stupid camper tricks were introduced. Uncle Bob "Waldo" Waldstein invented "toast on a stick" at the dining hall. In College League, Adam Bree's Tufts won over Robby Nager's George Washington University, Steve Shapiro's Tulane and Bill "Otis" Maddox's Texas. Gray chief Bob Bulloch and his coaches rode into a morning lineup riding on a herd of elephants borrowed from a local circus, and Maroon's Wayne Pass arrived at the swim meet in a seaplane. But Maroon, behind chief Stu Rifkin, lost to Bulloch's Gray.

Art Mintz sang his way to a Mr. Manitou title in 1986. Mike Poretsky's Wittenberg won College League over Bob Waldstein's Army, Mark Lampert's Navy and Gary Stolberg's Wisconsin, and Wayne Pass's Maroon defeated Tom Kenyon's Gray.
