Cnnip Blue Star
By ALICE ABRAMS
The third and fourth week of
Blue Star’s twelfth season were
packed with fun, excitement
and education for all concerned.
During the third week, the
whole camp participated in a
song festival. Dr. Robert For
man of CarbondaJe, Ill., music
director, conducted the program
and each cabin had its own
entries under three catagories
(1) Original camp song, (2)
Hebrew song, and (3) Folk song
in English.
The third week was also JNF
week and each camp planted
trees in commemoration of Jew
ish Arbor Day. We had a repre
sentative from JNF, Arie Shoval
of Israel and New York City
who conducted a program of
Israeli music and dances, and
showed a movie about Israel
The fourth and final week of
the first session climaxed one of
the best sessions in Blue Star’s
history. Wednesday, the entire
camp participated in a Macca-
bead, which stressed “Friendship
through Competition.” There
were two teams, the Palmach
and the Haganah, the white and
the blue, respectively. The day
was packed with sports events
in which all the campers parti
cipated. In the evening a song
fest was held and the next
morning the winners were an
nounced at a lake side ceremony.
Incidentally, the whites won by
a narrow margin of 900 points.

troupe of Blue Star staff per
formed at an opening night pre
miere of “Manhattan Towers”
for the Pioneer camp, who at
tended in “formal dress.” Two
more performances occurred
over the weekend for the Sen
ior Camp and the Teen Age
Village. Hildegarde and com
pany deserve rave notices for a
splendid show.
The Teen Age Villiage, after
two weeks of strenuous rehears
ing, presented “The Diary of
Anne Frank,” a two-act play
for the entire camp on Friday
night. It was a moving and
artistic performance, enjoyed by
all attending.
Saturday night each camp
held its own Havdalah services,
a social afterwards and a L’hit-
raot or “goodby” parties. We
are sorry to see our wonderful
four week campers leave and
will miss them.
Each camp has been busy with
activities of its own program.
The Pioneers had an Indian
council ring and saw a genuine
fire danoe performed by our
Indian Lore specialist, Julius
Braveman of Cincinnati, Ohio.
They went on trips to Lake
Lure for motor boat rides and
to Lake Cascade, where they
water skiied and went canoe
ing.
The Senior girls, under the
direction of Elsie Solomon of
Augusta, held a Charm School
one day and pretended they
were training to be models. In
a session with Hildegarde Ben
nett they practiced posture, man
ners ana social graces. The girls
went on trips to Lake Cascade,
and the Cherokee Indian reser
vation to see the pageant, “Unto
These Hills.” On TV Day, every
cabin picked one TV program
and dressed up like its charac
ters for the entire day. That
evening, the program consisted
of each cabin presenting a skit
about its particular program.
The final program of the ses
sion was a square dance with
the Senior Boys and a L’hitraot
party to say goodby to the four
week campers.
The Senior Boys, beside en
gaging in camp activities, have
done some special things on
their own. A motherless baby
lamb is being cared for by four
of the boys: Donald Sussman,
Barry Wassman, Myron Katz,
and Louis Katz. Cabin S-13

B.CJ. ■ California
Esther Bryan, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Irving Bryan of At
lanta, Ga., has'been elected to
the Camp Council at Brandeis
Camp Institute located in Santa
Susana, California. From 18
states throughout the nation
and Canada, 65 young adults—
aged 18 to 26—have gathered to
learn more about their Jewish
heritage.
“To be good Americans we
must be better Jews,” said Louis
D. Brandeis, Supreme Court
Judge, on whose principles the
Institute was founded. At Bran
deis the knowledge of the par
ticipants varies radically. Some
of them do not believe in God.
Their lack of knowledge about
religion and history is of great
concern. Brandeis is operated to
correct this situation. Just as
there are some of the students
with no faith in God, so are
some of them deeply religious.
The program includes lectures
on Jewish history, the arts, Is
rael, Hebrew classes, music, rec
reation, and six specialized
workshops which include drama,
dance, music, ceramics, sculp
ture, and creative writing. The
camp is supported by private
individuals: it is an independent
organization. Every student who
is selected to attend is awarded
a $200 scholarship.
During the four weeks of liv
ing Judaism, BCI’ers have the
opportunity to associate with
famous instructors such as Raik-
en Ben-Ari, drama director and
one of the founders of Habima;
Max Helfman, one of America's
foremost musicalogists; Mr. and
Mrs. Otto Natzler, world famous
ceramists; Max Benoff, outstand
ing TV writer, and Miki Benoff,
distinguished Los Angeles sculp
tor.
Esther is a former president
of Atlanta BBG No. 176, and
hopes to be able to speak with
some of the groups when she
returns home in August. In
September, Esther will begin
her senior year at the Central
Institute for the Deaf, in St.
Louis, Missouri where she is
studying to be a teacher of the
speech handicapped.

day cooking lunch or supper
and swimming under special
supervision by the camp’s train
ed waterfront staff. Each camp
er has had at least one over
night there.
Opening with Marilyn Polia

hibited their talents. The Coun-

an original adaptation of “Robin
Hood.’”

Marcia Poliakoff began the ser
vice with the blessings of the
Sabbath candles. The kiddush
was recited by Leon Lashner
and Richard Lipton. Floating on
the lake during this service was
a huge, gold glittering Star of
David.

hammering and painting going
on in preparation for “Briga
doon,” 124 campers are actively
participating in a varied camp
program of hiking, overnight
camping trips, cookouts, swims,
boating (canoe, rowboat, ana
