“S” Winners Declared!
Throughout the summer at Camp Shohola, there are a few campers who shine above the rest. These men are recognized through an award called the “Shohola S”. To win this award, you must surpass regular camp standards set in the cabin, be a leader amongst other campers, and be the person who makes camp more enjoyable for everyone else. The “S” winners have been chosen for their optimistic view around camp, as well as for their kindness towards others. Not only must these campers stand out in a family of amazing campers and be recognized by their peers, but they must also catch the eye of their counselors. To win the “S”, a camper must receive an 80% staff vote agreeing that he should win. This honor is much cherished, and the recipients should be congratulated thoroughly. These campers are recognized as being the best of the best on camp, and are a true representation of the Camp Shohola spirit that we all truly look for in a friend and a camper.

Men In Dirt, Mud and Scum Nick Mower, Cabin 3 Counselor When you step onto the grounds of Camp Shohola, you first notice the purity and serenity of the land and all that encompasses peace. Well, these men chose otherwise and put their bodies through the torture of the Hard Man Competition to come out trium- phant. Crawling through the mud, being kicked in the face with water, and being yelled at by a drill sergeant- like figure (Joe Dodd) can make your nerves go wild and begin to believe that failure is an option. However, these men did not choose failure, but rather chose to keep their muscles moving and had the will to keep strong throughout it all. Not many people at camp would take the chance
to show how strong-willed they can be, but the men of the Hard Man Competition truly showed their colors that day and pulled their way through all the way until the end. Congratula- tions to all, and pride should be taken in the fact that you survived the most treacherous journey, and to be the firsts to do so makes you that much more extraordinary. Once again, con- gratulations to all who participated, and to those who didnt: beware the fear that you have in your heart and overcome the obstacles presented to you. It only takes one strong-will to make someone the next reigning Strong Man Champion. Bring out the big guns Shohola...bring em out.

Green Team Speech Francisco Lorenzo, Working Senior
White Team Speech Nicholas Stallone, Working Senior
Hello everyone. First of all I want to say thanks to White for being so competitive this year. Because of that, we were able to learn from your spirit, effort, forgive- ness, but over all friendship. You made this color war the most competitive, cheerful, and most enjoyable I have had in my whole life. Thank you. Green team, we had two options as a team: either win as a team or lose as individuals.
Luckily we chose to get first and win as a team. It was not the captain or the Co-Cap- tains who lead us to victory, it was every single one of you. When I first got chosen to be on the Green Team, I had no idea what was going on. I was a litle Cabin 2 kid that had no idea how to speak English. But, I grew up and became much more mature as the years went on. With my brother on White, I realized that everyone here
Hello everybody. 2010... this was without a doubt the greatest and most enjoyable year I ever had my entire six years at Shohola. This was also the clos- est Green and White Color War I have ever seen...Im referring to the points and spirit of course not distance because... well you all saw the war canoe today. When I stepped out of my car on my first day, I was greeted by somebody who instantly brought up Green and White and told me I have the chance to become a Captain... All I could think about was that my dream had come true... yet my nightmare had just begun. Dont get me wrong; it was an honor and a privilege to experi- ence, and a tremendous responsi- bility. Yet almost nothing I envi- sioned for the White Team went right; we had campers leave, we lost points, and we had a lack of spirit. Despite this, we managed to try our hardest in all of the events and always had a good time. I believe that everyone on the White Team was able to learn
had two faces, the first one is full of rivalry and loyalty to you team, but when you turn around the guy that was a few minutes ago your rival is now your brother, with who you can have fun for the rest of your life. Nick thanks for all your
support, and I have to admit, I have never seen another captain so cheerful winning or even losing. I would like to say thanks to Holly, Duncan, but especially every single camper and staff member for an incredible sum- mer 2010. Thank YOU.
to play fair and have good sports- manship from these experiences. I want to thank a few peo- ple out in the audience tonight; Nate Storb and Aaron Insler:... please stand up because I could not of done any of this without all of the help from you guys. I want to applaud my co-captains because without the help of Inigo Martin and Mauricio Niquete I would have fallen apart when I was handed a task that looked way too hard. I knew that I always had the assistance and encourage- ment of these two. Also, there were the First Month captain- Glen Kasoff and his co-captains Ty Brooks and Henry Hoffman. I would like to thank the entire White Team for co-operating with me and making this a fun, enjoy- able, energetic and exciting year as the White Team captain. Now Im going to thank somebody that wasnt expected, thank you Green Team, I thank you for being fair, kind, fun and good sports about everything that went on. You never rubbed in our faces the fact
that we lost...too much. Lastly for the final thank you, I have to obviously thank Duncan and Holly Barger for running Camp Shohola-- without this place I would be bored all summer, I never would of met all of my friends and I would never of had the experiences that Ive had for the past six summers of my life. I have a few mentions to give out, please would Jus- tin Brown, Ty Casey, and Matt Loughney please stand, along with of course Jay Sanchez, today Justin may have fallen a few times on the rock wall but he never gave up and despite our imminent defeat, rowed hard till the end. Ty, you competed in over 8 events today. I have no clue but I think thats some kind of record or something. Matt volunteered when I had nobody to do it he wanted to go to the infirmary and learn how
to splint a bandage as depicted by the red cross for the Apache race, and finally- J.Man. This kid took time out of his schedule to learn how to do Eskimo rolls and he practiced them until he was able to do it almost perfectly, if I didnt mention your name in this speech I apologize because the entire white team amazed me over the course of this month and you all deserve a mention but for the sake of time Ill say that your all the greatest group of kids Ive ever met. I only have one last thing to say, congratulations to the Green Team and their cap- tains... and Francisco TE AMO your the only person I know who would help his opponents learn how to do something that could cost him victory and I wouldnt of rather lost to anybody but you. Youre one of my closest friends and my favorite rival.
ARTS a n d CR AFTS Makin’ Some Pots Eddie Jacot, Cabin 16
Pottery is a great class because you are able to make anything you want. You can make something for your family as a gift, or you can make something for yourself and be proud that you made it with your own hands. In pottery, there are two ways to used the clay: on the wheel or using the slabs to make abstract things. I like to use the slabs because they allow for a lot more creativity and free form
art. On the wheel, you need to have a lot of upper body strength because you need to hold the clay in place while it is spinning around. After you are done on either one, you have to let the clay air dry and then put it into the kiln. After the kiln has made the clay more fragile and glass-like, you are able to glaze it or paint it to make it a differ- ent color than pink. Pottery is a really fun class and one of the best in camp!
OOOH SHINY! Edward Hoffman, Cabin 10
In Silvershop, you have the opportunity to make whatever you want! Take a piece of metal and turn it into a work of art by using all that is provided. Between wire and plate metal, you can make almost anything. If you make a ring, you first have to measure the ring size. Next, cut the metal the correct size and ham- mer it into a round shape.
Once it starts to look like a ring, then you get to solder it shut. Soldering is when you use the torch and take metal and melt it in between the gap to make the ring stay together. Next, you file it and put it in pickling acid. This makes all of the stuff that is not metal, such as dirt and solder scrap, come off the ring. Finally, you polish it to make it shine. Silvershop is sweet.
Arts and Crafts in All Nick Stallone, Working Senior
Out of all the depart- ments at Camp Shohola, there is only one where you can have the chance to make something and be able to show off what you have to your friends and family. I am of course speaking of the Arts and Crafts department. With classes like Pottery, Stained Glass, Silvershop, Photography, Woodshop, Rocketry, and many more, who could resist filling your schedule full of these classes? Pottery explores
the boundaries of work- ing with clay. You can use the wheel or the slabs to make your choice of a masterpiece. Stained Glass allows you to take glass panes and cut them into amazing designs which can be soldered together and last a lifetime! Sil- vershop allows you to try your skills on metal and make your way through the metallic world of art. Moving along we come to rocketry which can make you dream of becoming
one with an astronaut one day. Next we have Wood- shop which brings you into the natural and craftsman like parts of the arts. You can choose any wood you want and widdle your way to perfection. Photography allows you to take the life you see through your own eyes and cast your visions into the worlds eyes. Each one of these classes takes practice to master, but over time, just like sports, you are able to showcase your real talent and make all the other people in the class envy the skills you have acquired. Arts and crafts shows you that no
matter what the task, with a little work, it is possible to achieve your goal. Even though most of the classes are geared towards the lit- tler campers, it is an outlet of expression for those who want to show what they are really made of. Art at Shohola also gets displayed for the whole camp to see at the final art show, and allows the people you see everyday to see what you can really do. Arts and Crafts is an amaz- ing department, and I love every minute of it. You should try your skills and sign up for a class today!
WATER FRONT Just Keep Swimming... Aidan Fiol, Cabin 16
Almost everyone has to take Swimming at camp. When you get here, you have to take your Deep Water Test. After that, you are put into a level between one and five, five being the best. If you are better than level five, you can pass out of taking swimming and move on to an option of
taking Lifeguarding class instead. At the waterfront, you can also do your 36 laps, and be able to go on all sorts of trips like wa- terskiing and white water rafting. Doing your 36 laps consists of swimming from dock to dock 36 times in a row. All in all, swim- ming is a very swell class.Canoe all the Way!...
Luis Figueroa, Cabin 10 Canoeing is very fun because we get to flip over the boats. Then, we get to go under the boats and breathe underwater with a bubble of air. This is great because we get to have so much fun and relax in the
class. We also have a lot of intense canoeing classes where we race to blueberry island and back for prizes. Canoeing is a really fun class to take and I think everyone should try it out!
Come Sail Away! Edward Hoffman, Cabin 10
In sailing, you flash around the lake with al- most no manpower. The wind just takes you where it flows, and dies when it wants. Pulling the sail can make you go faster or slower if you release it. It teaches you a great way to bond with the your friend with you in the boat. Since it is either you and another person or just you by your- self, you have to focus and pay attention to the flow of the boat to make sure you dont crash or dam- age anything. Flipping is
one of the best parts. A big gust of wind might come and just scoop up your sail and carry you over the side and into the lake. The harder part is getting the boat back up. This you need a little bit of upper body strength to do. You push on the board under the boat, and the boat starts to tip back over to the side its supposed to have up, and she sail starts to rise back out of the water. Sail- ing is my favorite water- front class. Sailing rocks!
i need some H2O! Brice Schleman, Cabin 3
Waterfront might not be the favorite of ev- erybody in camp, but it is a nice place to cool off when you are hot. Kayak- ing, one of our favorite classes, is when you get to take out the kayaks and do all different kinds of rolls. Also, there is windsurfing where you can take the board with or without the sail and go out onto the lake. Another fun activity
is sailing, which allows you to go with a friend out on to the lake and sail across in between differ- ent people. One of the swimming classes is very fun, and teaches us the different strokes and how to get faster in the water. Waterfront is a cool place to hang, whether in a ca- noe or pirate boating, you can always find a place to have some serious fun.
LAND SPORTS
Hit that Ball Outta Here! Eddie Jacot, Cabin 16
If you have a pas- sion for baseball like I do, sign up for baseball.It is a really fun class where we are taught things about baseball that most people have never heard of. In baseball class, you learn how to field a ground ball all the way up to hitting. You learn how to slide into
the plate, and also how to position your body for the best hit. The two instruc- tors are usually Mike Karp and Aaron Insler. They know a lot about baseball and have been playing for years. If you want to be in the major leagues some day sign up soon.
Ball on a String, I mean ROPE! Jamal Litzenberger, Cabin 6
Tetherball is one of my favorite activities to play on the hill. When they fixed the tetherballs, it became a sensation for everyone. It is almost al- ways being played, and sometimes even more than
Gaga. I like it more than gaga, and is easier to play because it doesnt take as much time. Even the girls play from Netimus and here when they are near. Tetherball is so much fun!
Flying Discs Anonymous Writer Here at Camp Shohola, we have classes from all different kinds of backgrounds, but nothing can compare to the class of Frisbee. In the class, we learn how to throw the firsbee, catch the fris- bee, and where to be for the maximum amount of distance with the frisbee. I enjoy learning about the different kinds of throws that there are, and there is one where you throw the frisbee in the air vertically,
and then the air pushes the frisbee until it is parallel to the ground and levels out for the other person to catch. Also, I like it when the frisbee picks up air in the middle of the throw and goes even higher than when it started. Frisbee class also goes down to the waterfront and practices their throws and catches over the water to help with making them secure with diving for the frisbee.
COMMTECH Broadcasting Around the World Connor Kelley, Cabin 16 Three years after my first radio class I finally got first class DJ. I was now able to do radio shows on my own or with a partner. It was tough, I had to do a correct sign on, play some public service announce- ments, read the news, play a song, and the entire time I couldnt forget a step or even say too many “ughs...” in my sentences, but I finally got it. After that, I could play music at any time, the music that I wanted to listen to. Nick Stallone, also known as Snowball, confirms this, say- ing “the greatest thing about radio is playing the music I love and people request- ing to not play it, which is when I say come down here
and be the DJ yourself”. To be where I am, you have to take radio CLASS first. You learn about legal ids, playing records, using computers for music, doing interviews (on the phone, recording, or in the studio, and much more. An impor- tant thing to do is see that the levels are okay, because if its too loud, it will not only hurt someones ear but its also considered illegal. More important, however, is too make sure everything is clean. For example, if someone requests a song that you dont know, ask if its appropriate for radio, because you dont play a song that screams the “F” bomb on air. You can loose
everything in radio if you do that, so be careful. Also, if you make a mistake, dont say “oops”, for you should not let your audience know you made a mistake (unless it was a huge one, such as the one I mentioned earlier). Once youve learned everything and you think you are ready, you will take the DJ test. Theres fourth class, third class, second class, and first class, as well as just failing. The smaller the class, the less you can do. Youll go from star- ring with a partner in non- stared shows to starring on your own on starred shows (starred shows are you go- ing on air on your own). You must do everything in order, as well as pronounce clearly, have levels correctly, try not
to say any ughs, blahs, or oops, and much more. Tom Gibson, had of CommTech, says that “the biggest mis- take you can make is not be- ing prepared for an event”. Trust me, you have to be as professional as can be. Once youre first class, its a big responsi- bility, but also a lot of fun. Youre basically playing the music that you love. You can tell about the bands youre playing, you can talk about events that happened or are upcoming that you enjoy, and its one of the greatest jobs you can have. The radio is the place where you can be your- self. So bring your down your iPod, plug in, check your levels, and get ready for the time of your life.
Can You Hear Me Now? Sammy Hartman, Cabin 7 Radio is my favorite subject. Not only do you get to listen to your favor- ite music, you also get to broadcast it to the whole world through the radio and the internet. When I did a radio show, I had my mom and dad watch
online and they got to call in. You might think that just three or four people listen, but over two hun- dred people listen to you broadcast live. Overall, radio is the coolest class and you have to take it!
BAR N, O C a n d TR IPS Hay for the Horses! Matt Chin, Cabin 3
The horses are very cool, nice and playful. All of the horses names are Carlos, Shooter, Tonto, Snoopy, JW, Bradford, Bailey, and Tamale. Tonto is the biggest horse there, and is different from the other ones because he is black and white. Also, there is Tamale who is different because he is brown. It is a
lot of work being down at the barn. You have to feed the horses every day and clean up after them. Carlos and Tamale get two scoops of feed because they are skinnier than the other horses, and all of the hors- es get garlic for the flies. Thats all I know about the horses, and I will definitely be taking riding next year!
Rafting down the River Nathan Lalli, Cabin 16
Trips were great this year, but the Hud- son rafting trip was the highlight of the year. It was a long ride to get there, but when we finally got to the river, we started to have the time of our lives. When we got there we took a hike and went swimming in a freez-
ing lake. The next day we went rafting on class 4 rap- ids for 5 hours. It was very intense. We had to endure rough water and big rocks. Unfortunately we had some shocking events, and had to leave early. It was an amazing trip. I would rec- ommend this trip to every- body because it was so fun.
Cooking by the Creek side Sebastian Perez-Verdia, Cabin 14 Outdoor Cooking is one of the few classes where you are able to im- merse yourself in nature. Outdoor Cooking has never been about the food, but rather the people you meet along the way. Its about being with your friends, having fun and be- ing around the fire. That is why we call it The Class of the Four Fs ( Fun, Fire, Friends, and Food). We
learn how to prepare food and, of course, all of the safety rules that follow. During Outdoor Cooking, you can sit by the creek, listen to music, and eat while conversing with all of your friends. If you like having a good time while spending time with people having the time of your life, then take Outdoor Cooking next year and join in on the amazement!
Rallying the Ropes Inigo Martin, Working Senior Ropes is a very inter- esting and a very fun class. Here at Camp Shohola, we have a very good ropes course, and we have the best ropes counselors in the world. In Shohola, we have ropes on A days and on B days. The A days are only for the lower campers,
and the B days are only for upper camp. Also we have good climbers like Fran- cisco Lorenzo, Jason Ken- ny. In the second month, we had the rock climbing competition against other camps like Lake Greeley and Pine Forest, and with our best climbers we won.
SHOHOLA EXTR AS Predator Vs. Prey Jack Vickery, cabin 9
A new game that we have this year is the game Predator vs. Prey. I think this is the best game we have had at Camp Shohola all year long and it is really fun to play. With teams of insects, frogs, snakes and hawks; your objective is to get as many water tokens as possible while trying to keep the players on your team. When the bell rings, your job is to go to the des-
ignated H20 areas around camp and sing a song to get water for your team. Then, if you are a frog, you start to hunt down the insects and get them on your team. If you are a snake, you try to get the frogs and insects on your team. If you are a hawk, you can attack anyone you want and you want to end up with the most people on your team as possible
by the end. Insects get the most points at the end, but cannot attack any other team. Insects rather have to collect as much water as they can, keep their people, and then stay away from all of the other teams. The way you attack other teams is by coming up to them and having your counselor blow their whistle and start playing a game of tag for fifteen seconds. Any- one who is tagged by the predators is now a predator themselves, and the preda-
tor team cannot attack that prey team unless they make a move in the game. With the painted faces and the sweat dripping bodies, we run across camp trying our hardest to be the best team. Ending up at the baseball field to be safe, the game ends and the teams meet to see how many people they have. The winning team is announced and we all go off to shower. I love playing this game because it is full of excitement, and is intense and thrilling.
Juan Jo Lorenzo Tops them ALL! Mike Ryan, cabin 9
Being in Cabin 9 is a blast when you have a counselor like Juan Jo Lorenzo! He is a Rock Dawg, a Lifeguard, and can make the girls go crazy! He has been seen at waterfront having the Greeley girls drooling over him. Also, he has a brother, Francisco who is equally amazing. With his perfor- mance at Pike Idol, he has all of the girls worshiping him and making him fa- mous all the way through the night. Following in his brothers footsteps, Fran- cisco will someday be as
good as his brother. Also, with cousins like Rodrigo and Santiago Fortes, there is no competition in say- ing that Juan Jose might just be the most interest- ing man in the world. He should have been selected to replace the man in the Dos Equis commercial be- cause he is just that much more extreme. His skills far surpass any man known to mankind, and he shall go down in history as the best man to ever walk the grounds of Camp Shohola, let alone the World!
Swim for your Color Jay Sanchez, cabin 7
The Green and White Swim Meet is when everyone goes down to the waterfront, and the green and white teams both compete in swimming and boating races. Everyone is assigned to an event from kayaking to backstroke to water polo and more. Every time you win an event, you gain points for your team. The more first places you get, the more
points are given to your team. There are also spirit awards that are given out on the beach and in the crib. These include making the best sand castle, build- ing a chain, finding the potatoes, and even writing the name of the team on the beach. I think the Green and White Swim Meet is a great event in the race to victory, and it earns a lot
SHOHOLA EXTR AS
Stalk the Lantern Ethan Barger, cabin 2
Stalk the Lantern is a game for all of the camp to play. To win, you should dress in all black and lay low to the ground in order to not make any sounds. There are people on the rock wall waiting for you to maker sounds so that they can point their flash- lights at you and get you out. You have to make it to the rock wall before the time is up, and also make
it before the people on the wall point their flashlights at you. If you are caught, you have to go all the way back up the hill and to your cabin to go to bed. Everybody at the end of the game ends up in their cabins, just the time that you get there is different. I think Stalk the Lantern is really fun and I really want to play it next year.
Pike County Horses Tristan Krieger, cabin 11
One of my favorite riding events is the Pike County Horse Show be- cause we get to compete against more than one camp in the area for best riding. Some of the camps that show up include Neti- mus, Timber Tops, Lake Owego, Pine Forest, and Lake Greeley. We com- pete against them in many different events, and get ribbons for different place- ments based on how well we performed as opposed to them. I love Pike Coun- ty and I love horseback
riding. Together, they spell F-U-N. The Pike County Horse Show only happens once a year, and allows us to show the other camps what we are capable of in our own program. Even though we didnt win this year, we always have next year to look forward to.I have competed in every single horse show while I have been here, and have enjoyed every single one. I suggest rid- ing because it is fun, ex- hilarating, and lovable.Gibby is the Best!
Jasper Wilson, cabin 16
Gibby is by far the awesomest counselor ever! He has a cool per- sonality and is an amazing magic superstar. He is a GREAT role model and he deserves respect for his work. I personally think that he should take better
care of his trunk because it keeps on ending up in dif- ferent places around camp. Basically all I have to say is that I LOVE GIBBY!
Love, Jasper Wilson
Running on Apache Juice Michael Kaufmann, Working Senior The day of the Apache Race was one of the most hectic days ever. The day before the Race we did sign-ups so every- one was in the race.since I was co-captain I helped with that and if people left we had to fill there spot with another kid. The day of the race was
so hectic. Since it was pouring large amounts of rain we decided make the Apache race in the morning because the rain wouldnt let down. When we found out we had to finalize who was doing what in the race. Dur- ing the race The captain, Francisco Lorenzo, The
co-captains, Me and Trent Sonnenfeldt went around making sure everything was okay and people were where they should be. At the end of the race when we were canoeing back to the floating dock so that we could win. All I could think was that I could go back to my cabin and take a nice hot shower. My legs and arms were so soar from running like a mad
man from event to event. My favorite event that I participated in was hand paddling the war canoe be- cause the white team was right behind us until they didnt know how to turn and hit the bank. I couldnt stop smiling or laughing when I saw that. that is when I realized we need- ed to win this for Green. guess what? WE DID.
SHOHOLA EXTR AS What to do in the Afternoon? James O’Dell, Working Senior
This second month brought the winds of change. Due to the lack of campers, Duncan instituted the concept of Afternoon Select to Camp Shohola to re-spark interest. Instead of having classes assigned in the afternoon, this al- lows campers to choose different activities and not have the same routine every other day. This has not been there in the past, but seeing how success- ful it turned out to be this year, I dont see any rea- son why we havent done before, with activities like Four-Leaf Clover Hunt- ing, Predator and Prey, and
rowing across Lake Gree- ley. The difference with having these select classes in the afternoon is that you get to do the activity for a full two hours and not have to worry about time and getting the class to run faster. Each kid is able to relax and try new things that might not have been available in the sign-ups. This allows everyone to have the best time pos- sible at camp and not be forced to do something they do not want. Overall, Afternoon Select has been a great success and would be an ample placement for next years schedule.
BECKER BECKER!! Alex Beidleman and Ethan Ludwig, Cabin 3
Becker is the great- est counselor in the his- tory of counselors. He is always there for you and he only gets mean when he is disrespected. One day we got donuts from all of our counselors, and
got pizza the same day! Becker is always fair with us. All the kids that dont have Becker as a counselor should be jealous that their counselor isnt as good. Three cheers for Becker!
I’m Bringing ME Back! Tom Ng, Cabin 6 Counselor
Its Springtime, youre stuck in the office or school and youre only thinking about one thing... coming back to Shohola for round 2 of unexpected fun filled fun. I remember the feeling, thinking about how much longer I have top wait until I plant my feet back on the soil prop- erly named “Happy Land”. Day dreaming about the epic fun I had with my fel- low counselors and camp-
ers, I just cant help but yearn for the day to come earlier. I remember when I first entered Shohola, it was a new surrounding; but now I look at it as a home. What makes the second time so much bet- ter than the first is that you learn from the first year what you have and havent done, so you can take the opportunity youre pre- sented with the second year and fully grasp it.
Cabin 5 is AAALLL HEERE! Ben Harrison, Cabin 5
Cabin 5 Counsel- ors are pretty awesome. With Tom Landis as the leader, he brings the loud noises into the cabin and makes sure everything is in order. Steven is the foreigner who is awesome and even speaks French! Omer is the awesome one
who comes way over from Cabin 4 and makes the cabin a great place to live. Rodrigo is the Rock Dawg who can take down anyone in the cabin. If anyone saw our booth during Carnival, this just goes to show how awesome we are. Cabin 5 is the best cabin ever!

Among the people we have here at Shohola, there are few that make themselves stick out above the rest. One of the people we all know
and love is commonly referred to as “The Nice Lady in the Office”, or Mariel. Celebrating her sixth year at Shohola this year, she has shown her dedication to the family of Shohola all through the summers she has shared with us. Down at the office almost 24/7, Mariel is always there when you need something. Whether it be changing your schedule, check- ing up on trips, or balancing your account, she is always happy to lend a helping hand. One thing she is always known for is having a smile on her face, and a quickness in her step. Wherever she is needed, she will get there two times faster than the normal person. Her work at the Lower Office es- sentially runs the camp and makes the day to day procedures run in tip top shape. She is a mother to us all, and a hero to many, and shows us that there is something to strive for in life: the achievement of perfection. Mariel is able to take on the work load to keep camp functioning, and the amount of work that would probably drive any other person absolutely insane. She is our base, our foundation, and she will forever be known as Superwom- an. Thank you Mariel for all of your dedication towards Shohola and we hope that you will stay a part of the Shohola for many summers to come. On behalf of all of Shohola, Mariel, this Argus edition is dedicated to you.
