Lar est selection of this size ran e in area Lexicographers would have been elated at the just-quoted definition at the 75th anniversary celebration of the Fresh Air Society held Saturday evening at the new Jewish Community Center. It was, indeed, a night of reunions, nostalgic re- collections of camp life, back-to-life community singing measuring up to all occasions affecting campers in love with their experiences away from home. For nearly two hours former campers and coun- selors and former and pre- sent members of the Fresh Air Society's board of di- rectors, socialized, drank toasts, recalled the sad and the humorous experi- ences at the many camps that were conducted by the society, leading up to the present Tamarack Author- ity's vast venture that serves young and old — the summer campers and year-long seminarians and the retarded.

The entire gathering of more than 350 — at least 100 more were unable to secure re- servations due to the space limitations — par- ticipated until long after midnight in a program of such unusual merit that its master of ceremonies, Herman, emerged as a new hero in the amateur (non-professional) enter- ,tainment field of this community. They sang and sang and among the melodies they recalled were: "Campfire Song," 'Taps (in Hebrew and En- glish)," "1915 Camp Song" by Abe Levin, "Fresh Air Camp Song 1930s," "F.A.C. Girl — 1930s" and "Fresh Air Song — 1937." There were many old- timers. Abraham J. Levin was honored as the first paid counselgr for boys, Ruth Klein as the first girls' counselor. They re- ceived citations. So did Agnes Brown Scott as the representative of the Keidan and Brown families whose names fi- gured prominently in Fresh Air Society history. Benefactors were re- membered and honored — Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Rosenthal (in their mem- ory their daughter, Maxine Breuer, received a citation), Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Silverman, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Smokler, Mrs. Aaron DeRoy, Melba and Sid Winer, as heads of the committee that ar- ranged the event, were the chief architects who engineered a notable program. Michael Mad- din was the toastmaster and Robert Kasle, as cur- rent president of the Fresh Air Society, gave an interesting analysis of the society's history and achievements. Rabbi Seymour Rosenbloom gave the invocation. There were honors for such early camp directors as Irwin Shaw, who re- ceived special acclaim on his services as executive director of the Jewish Community Center which are now terminating on his retirement; Robert Luby and many others. Sam Marcus, executive vice president of the Fresh Air Society, who continues to direct Tamarack and other activities, came in for special recognition. The honorees, the par- ticipants in the spectacu- lar function and the communal participants formed a veritable Who's Who of Greater Detroit Jewry. The former offic- ers were honored and to assure recognition for all of them the reporter of this magnificent event introduces the complete list of past presidents: Ida V.
