1992 Staff Yearbook, Camp Shenandoah, B.S.A. near Stauton, Virginia.

Genesis

In the beginning, there were strangers--nameless, faceless.

And the staff was without form, and void.

And the camp direc tor said, "Let there be work." And ther f:.

was work. And he saw that th e work was good, for it helped th e

staff learn to depend upon each other. And the evening and th e

morning was the first day.

And he said, "Let there b e silly songs and embarrassing

introductions in the midst of th.e work." So they s topp ed wor kin€

and began to talk and sing and l a ugh to gether. And he saw that

it was good, for the staff overcame the ir uneas in ess and began to

enjoy each other' s company. And the evening and the morning was

the second day.

And he said, "Let ther e be long, boring training sessions, and

let these sessions separate the work from the work." So they

stopped ,working again and sat fo r long hours, and listened, and

discussed, and occassionally learned. And he saw that it was good,

for it gave the staff the conf idence and the knowledge they lacked.

And the evening, and the morning, and late, late into the night

was the third day.

And on the last day he said . "Let the land send forth swarms of

Life is a highway, I want to ride it all night long-··· Tom Cochrane

Well fellas, it has been one heck of a ride. We have worked together, played togeth-er and fought together. If that's not a family, then I do not know what one is.

For the last eight weeks, you have impacted more than one­thousand Scouts' lives. Be proud of the example you have set and the task you have accomplished. By the same token, your life has been impacted by one-thousand Scouts and the nearly forty staffers that have walked in and out Camp Shenandoah's ' gate. Take some time and look at yourself; I think you will find that you have grown as well. I know that each one of you has helped to make me a better person and a stronger person. I thank you for that. I hope my impact on your life has been equally favorable.

Enough of the mushy stuff ( I'm no good at thall . Go home, eat a good meal, take a shower, drink a . . . . '1'~] beer . • . Root Beer. Relax a, little, school is just around the corner. Be prepared, study. nard and do well (I'm sure you all will) .

Drop . me a line sometime. I never ge't ' mail at . school. When you get your Eagle Rank let me know. By the way my school address is.:

John M. Scheib 1702 Gorden Avenue. Charlettsville, Virginia 22901

Thanks for all your effort this summer. Hope to see you all in the future.

staff Training Schedule for Closing staff Week A series of courses designed to help staff members readjust to the real world, for those pf you who go home and continue to stag~er out of bed each day at 7:49, wander out into the yard, and salute the mailbox. Among the most important sessions: Table manners: shows you how to enjoy a meal at home without using

the host system, and tells you how to clear your table even when no one is yelling out directions to you

Nutrition: teaches you why bug juice is not juice, and why one french toast stick and a ho-ho does not constitute a balanced meal.

Hygiene: reminds us that it's now necessary to learn to flush again. Leisure: reintrodues you to the concept of "spare time," and. shows you

how to use television and video games to fill up all those hours you used to spend moving canvas.

Good, grooming: teaches you that it's now necessary to shave oftener than every Wednesday, but not necessary to pull up your socks whenever you leave your house.

Music: an introduction to the current top forty, which does not include "One Red Hen" or "My Reindeer Flies Sideways.'" --

Current Events: brings you up to date on recent happenings in the middle east and the olympics, and teaches you all the latest Ross Perot jokes~

Sex and the Single' Male: teaches you that in the real world, every day is visitors' day, so it's not necessary or polite to greet every girl with your tongue dragging on the ground '.

We've Been Here Toooo Long

You know you've been at camp too long when ... Mail is the high point of your day. You have to ask what month it is. You sign in and out of your own house, and always get home by 12:30.

You wake up thinking your water bed is leaking, only to realize that you don't have one. You s 'tart calling the spiders in your tent by name. You can guess on Friday what will be for lunch, by process of elimination. Youl can make it up the staff trail at night without a flashlight. While passing other staffers on the trail at night, you dan :recognize them by ! ~mell. The bottom. 'of 'your: Spout socks turn crunchy and start- to flake a~~.

;'!li;

Twas the night before C'hristmas, and all through the camp The weather was muggy, my underweC%l' damp. My scout socks were hung from the . ip line with care, In hopes that Wayne . Shaner would IT see them there. The campers were nestled all snug n their cots, While the staff eyed their preaen ,to see what they got. And John in his staff shirt, his k ee socks and cap Had just settled down for his afte oon nap. When out in the field there arose uch a clatter That he - screame~rat the intercom, 'Hey, what's . the matter." And down to the iitch~n he flew 1· e a flash And tripped over piles of two-day r. Id trash. He ran in the lounge, %KX and the ,all alone, Down the chimney Santa Bruce fell ' ith a groan. He was holding his mouth, in terr~ Ie pain, And said, "lit Got to visit that de tist again." He said, "I've got presents for a ,' on the staff." Then he called them by name, and ,arted to laugh.

Kevin and Andy are out chasing sn es, Each one of which will soon bear the name, Jake. Nick Duncan's not .here; he's back iate from t he Knob, Where a huge vampire bat just att~. ked his whole mob. Israel will finish his tower any d y, While Kenneth, as always, has "Noting" to s ay. Ben teaches camping, or something p th~re, And Ihews n~:ra~.4 .get th1a;t durn t r in ' the B.ir. Michael is out fC!>r the 'rlight, in car That he borrowed from Alan; he won't get too far. Mickey is playing around in the sewer; He should drop in on Forum; now that's really manure. James serves up ice cream made fr €>m coffee bE·ans; Ira, he cooks what the kitchen crew cleans. " _ tells everyone Jus"t wna"t "to Clo.

While TomK Newhall 'just listens, ause he's pretty new. McFarland and Leslie are out in ;t ~ ir cars ' While Elm, on his radio, just con cted Mars. Hector the chaplain drops in once a week To save all our souls, and to tea ch us to sp,,~ak In a real Spanish accent, while up in the sky , Nick on his death slide goes travelling by. (shouted) ROBBY THE CIT'S QUmT .MEEK, While Ed fire~ .. his guns at the mo s eagh ,week. Nick Smith has invented a church his own; He sits on .the 'back porch and wo ips the ph.one. Jacob plaY~ B~ 'FUPU.· in a . .' manne+ , ,'. ' and tries 'to epop; down So.ott ' s b banner. Jon '4fi}tes up eacfh Inornin~, at, a 1;0 l?~6'Om, And opens the trading post

..'

JohnK the slave master is out in the yard W~'''lR2 Ray at his side, sell"" merit badge cards.

Brian hands HoHos to all in the crQwd, While the kitchen plays Beach Boys, unreasonably loud. Tim and Jo1m are Cruel Doubt; they paay and they sing, While Phillip secretly tapes the w~ole thing.

Jesse lights' the campfire, a little too soon, While up in Clint's tent, Stench howls at the moon. , Ross asks permission to change his next song And to take the day off, and John .f irmly says, "Wron1§" Then Ross asks permission to chan~ his next song And to take the day off, and John \just repeats ,"Wrong!" Then Ross says to John, "Well I'm 'glad you agree," And John commits murder, in the highest degree." (IT'S A JOKE, ROSS)

rl

And down in the medic room, Charle ~ teaches his class, While Gregg pulls a splinter from l ome camper's . .. butt. And Alan awaits the next firedrill ,with dread, Fearful that someone will fracture his head.

TheI whole staff skipped CQ ; there's no one at all. They're all in the yard with the n'IJ'N volleyball'. So Santa returned to his sailboat ... haped sleigh, Saving the ~ifts for another day. Eut I heard ,~him e,xp~aim fis he sailt ,d out of , ~ ight, "Me:r.ry IChristmas to \ all ', and 'to 11 .a good night."
