Ed Shumsky, left, and Milt Sirota, right, formed a powerful 1-2 punch heading  the Boys Side from 1973 through 1977. Milt: "Got a bunk? Get to it!..."Put a little salt in your food today." Ed on the softball field: "Turn the hips!" "That's God's country (right field)."

A postcard of "Camp Ma-Ho-Ge, Silver Lake, N.Y." that was being sold on E-bay in 2006.


2006-- A view from Boys volleyball court looking towards
right field of the boys softball field. The new fieldhouse,
at left, is where our "under the lights", NBA style basketball
court once stood.  And, the site of a great 30-year reunion basketball game in October 2007!

The Rec Hall - This was where the great Color War plaques were displayed. It was also the site of great (off Route 17B)plays like "West Side Story"; "Oklahoma", "Grease", "Damn Yankees", "The King and I", "Fiddler on the Roof," "Guys and Dolls", "The Pajama Game," and others. In the mid 1970's, Ursula Iskols was the director of many of these great plays. During the 1960's, Arnie Warmbrandt was drama director. We also played hockey here and rehearsed Color War songs since there was a piano. Behind the Rec Hall was the Nature shack.  In front was where we had many beautiful Sabbath services run by Milt Sirota.
