Figure 1.-- We have archived a 1947 image from the camp, probably a cabin group. The boys wear a uniform of tank top with the camp logo, and matching short pants. Notice that the shorts are camp issue with stripes, not shorts the boys wore at home. Interestingly, the boys do not wear sneakers, but leather shoes. One boy wears saddle shoes. Most of the boys have white socks. The councelors wear white "T"-shirts and long pants. They seem to be standing in front of a camp building. It looks a bit grand to be a cabin, but we are not sure.

We notice a Jewish summer camp in Pennsylvania during the 1940s. We are not sure where in Pennsylvania. It was Camp Akiba. We are not sure what Akiba means in Hebrew. We note many Jewish camps and schools named Akiba, so it must have some special meaning. We have archived a 1947 image from the camp, probably a cabin group.
