I remember my first prank in ’82…the entire Sherman Division (back when it was boys) got up really early and went over to the girl’s division and sang Roxanne in the most obnoxious and loudest possible.
Not really a prank… but naked waterskiing…
Remember putting the dining room in the soccer field?
I know there was a large weather balloon inflated in a counselor’s bunk on the hill in the late 60’s.
In 1997/98, I was a Jungle counselor and Kate Gallogly-Lowell was our DL. Middle of the night we hear her calling for help. We get to her cabin and Senior Hill had trapped her inside by Saran wrapping the entire cabin closed. Or, something like that, right Kate?
It’s true. I have pranked. John Hirsch may have been involved in some. I ain’t talkin.
Back in the 1960s there was a camper who was not very popular. He let it be known that he really loved the cooked prunes that were served once a week during breakfast. As everyone in the mess hall cheered him on, he ate 50 (or was it 100?) prunes – not knowing that everyone had hidden all the toilet paper in the camp. Let’s just say he had an unforgettable experience. I should also mention that the nurse refused to see him in the infirmary.
Not sure what year-but the LT’s put a canoe in a senior staff’s cabin and then filled it with water.
One night, at around 11:00 pm we hooked up a microphone to a loudspeaker in the boathouse, aimed it out at Salt Pond and announced: “This is God. Tomorrow has been cancelled.” Lights started popping from various houses.
I got this. I was in Cabin 2 Senior, 1988/89. Brian Kahn was in my cabin. Our counselor who will remain unnamed woke us at 2am to go on a raid. He said that we were going to bring out pillows with us to focus on Cabin 5? So, when we got to the library tree he had us wait by while he went to check it out. He came back for us and led us to them. We broke in and they were waiting for us. Pillows were flying and we hear Chuck Ryan yell “Holy shit, she has a gun!. It is when there was riflery and the counselor had a 22 in the cabin for some reason. We took off and ran. God, there were so many, but when it involves a gun, that has to take the cake.
1975 L.T. trip to Camp Hazen; the van just magically disappeared. Elmo lost his mind…his rant was epic.
The outdoor water spigot on the boathouse that shot electricity straight out of your toes. Eeeh, it’s fine. We’re fine.
Me and Wally once tried to move the bell and we couldn’t so we ended up stuffing it with pillows or something so it wouldn’t make any noise.
Wasn’t there an incident in the 60’s with a large balloon inflated in the infirmary? Or a counselor’s bunk moved out to the float in the swimming area? Hmmmmm…
This photo was right after Andrea Pogacar took me and Nicole Kotch out to the break wall in BOB and let us drive. I was 7. The hat was Andre's.
I remember being given a $5 bill and a pb&j sandwich and being let loose on BI when I was 12... anyone else?
Worst meal - Shepard’s pie made from the weeks leftovers (early 80’s)
Is my memory making things up, or did they actually lay a tarp out behind the truck and drag a bunch of us Shermans on the tarp to "grade" the road?
