According to the Lenorlog, July 6 1959 was noteable because of an Inter/Senior Volley ball game. I'm not certain if that meant the Inters played the Seniors--(which I highly doubt.) As Inters in Bunk 11, we would have played Newcomb. This was "volleyball Light."(Apparently designed to protect our precious digits...) Instead of batting the ball over the net with your fingers or hands, you threw the ball over the net as a serve and the opposing team had to catch it and throw it back. I don't recall the details of that particular day, but I do remember I was not good at Newcomb.
Since Color War hadn't broken, we wouldn't be cheering for a particular team. However, there would have been alot of singing of team song "standards" in preparation for the big event. This enabled some of us newer campers to develop a certain level of familiarity with the whole Color War thing. For all my years at Lenore, I was only on the Green team once, (in 1960), so my knowledge of Green Team songs is not very extensive. Here are two that were sung every year I was at Lenore:
White:
Spirit Undaunted, we March on to victory
Ever achieving our name and fame.
Sound the trumpets to our name,
Unify in our aim
White team we pledge to you,
This our motto true:
White team girls are white team girls,
We sing our praise to you:
To meet the Greens, to beat the Greens
In everything we do.
Green Team girls are Greent Team girls
And this we've come to say:
"Good luck to you, good luck to you on every Team Game Day."
Repeat
Green:
Green Team, hats off to thee,
To thy colors, true we will ever be!
Firm and strong, united are we!
The Green team marches forward,
Onward to victory,
Bum, bum, bum,,,
