Enrique Iturriaga, wandering Venezuelan soccer and tennis player, and sometimes purveyor of medicines to the unfortunate ill of Caracas, arrived Sunday to spend two weeks. Actually, Enrique was a camper here in 1974 and '76, and returned for a visit in 1982. He joined the staff for the second half of that season and for 1983. Enrique attends medical school in Caracas, Venezuela, his home, and this two weeks will be his last vacation until he finishes school. He reports that the only place he could consider spending a vacation was here at camp with all his friends, and we are happy to welcome him back.

Joe Fili, former Head Riding Instructor, and John Stokes, former Head Waterfront Instructor, arrived Wednesday for a few days, but more about them in the next issue of the Lookout. They will be offering some special activities during their visit. Both are graduates of Tom Brown's Tracking School, and they brought two other graduates with them.

For the first time in history, no one submitted a picture for the "Draw Your Counselor" contest. It is being continued for one more week for those procrastinators among you.

There has been a complaint that the canteen prize did not qualify as a "Big Prize" for the horse names last week. There were seven entries, and the best one had seven wrong. The "Big Prize" was offered for the first correct solution. This school teacher has a hard time accepting 77% as a correct solution. The canteen prize was a token to recognize effort. Had there been a correct solution there would have been a big prize.

Unit #5's contest for guessing the number of M&Ms in a jar was really two contests. Frances Mullen won the peanut M&M's while Holly won the plain ones. Actually Holly admitted that she didn't really guess. She looked at what Rob guessed, then added one more to that. Rob claimed the prize, but by then there weren't too many left as everyone in the office had been eating them.

To all of those who didn't win a carnival prize: Thanks for participating, and better luck next year.

Mark Schroder figured out how to use our portable video tape recorder as a monitor, and all that will be set up in the stall. That way we can watch Toots from the tack room when the time gets close but we won't disturb her. Also, by pushing down the "Record" button on the tape deck, we can record the whole process.

Campers and staff will be scheduled to spend nights at the barn until the foal comes, and everyone will have an opportunity to serve on "foal watch".

In the meantime, Holly has been teaching the entire breeding and foaling process to the Horsemanship classes. This will be the biggest extra event at camp since the first moonwalk. It may be bigger because most of camp fell asleep during the moonwalk.

Coming soon at the stage will be "Paper Bag Skits". Each unit will be given a paper bag containing a few articles. They will then have to create a skit using those articles. On the same evening we will have a "Staff Skit" requiring the counselors to produce a skit for the rest of the camp.
