SANDERS Assistant Editor WILLIAM WALSH Business Manager Through these dark, hallowed and im- mortal halls, pass the range of emotions we have molded into the walls of Camden Mili- tary Academy. With excitement, we have visualized the unknown adventures of our adult future, felt the frustrations of cadet life, yet with sadness and despair, we have also witnessed the passing of this dynamic phase of our development. Our progress this year has so become a part of our lives that it will subconsciously guide us always. But who is to say what will be on the other side of the door—for the seniors and those not returning, it will be a new and challeng- ing life. There is life here at Camden Military— vigorous, purposeful, an all enveloping life. We sometimes find ourselves caught up in the moments, swept aside by the rush until we are unable to take place guiding it. We become a part of something powerful; we are invigorated and sustained. But as the hours turn to days, so does the present turn to past, but as you look back upon your memories—the souvenirs of your stay here—I hope that through the hard and countless hours of work put into this 1968 EXCALIBUR, by the EXCALIBUR Ad- visor, Capt. Sims; Editor-in-Chief, Jimmy Johnston; and the staff members; will help you to relive your impressionable days you enjoyed here at Camden Military Academy. CAPT.

Risherwas born in Hampton County, South Carolina on November 26, 1889. After at- tending the South Carolina public schools, he com- pleted his formal education at The Citadel in 1911. Eleven years of public school teaching ended in 1922 when he became an instructor at Carlisle. Becoming Headmaster in 1928, Colonel Risher was destined to become a leader in southern prepara- tory schools. The year 1958 saw Camden Military Academy become an even further accomplishment in his contribution to the education field. His vast experience now enables him to guide the lives of the combined corps of the brother schools. He has always been able to forego a busy sched- ule in order to encourage and challenge the young men in his life with his eloquent and timely parables. Ainmniatrators President COL. J. F. RISHER Col. Lanning P. Rtsher was born on September 9, 1931, son of our President, Col. James F. Risher. His birthplace was in Bamberg, S. C. He attended the public schools of Bamberg, Carlisle Military School, and The Citadel, where he graduated in 952. In 1953, he entered the army as a 2nd Lieu- tenant. In 1955 he came out of the Army with the 'ank of 1st Lieutenant of Infantry. Upon completion of his active duty. Col. Risher started teaching at Carlisle. He remained there for three years. He then came to Camden to take the job of Head- master. In 1965 he received a M.A. degree in his- tory from the University of South Carolina. Col. Risher has put forth much effort to make Camden Military Academy a top grade school for everyone to be proud of. It is the opinion of the cadet corps that he has done this and much more. Ve of the EXCALIBUR staff salute you. Col. Risher, for a job well done. Headmaster COL. L. P. RISHER 19 LT. COL J. T.

The CMA Spartans took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards for. the game’s first TD. Jimmy Johnston scampered the final 25 yards on an end sweep for the touchdown. Billy Owens added the extra point. CMA controlled the ball most of the first half but didn’t get their second TD until late in the second quarter. Billy Owens burst through the line and shook off four would - be tacklers and sprinted 51 yards for the score. Fullback Kenny Smith added the point. Spartanburg dominated the third quarter and scored on a Ufeary Academy rolled to their fourth consecutive victory Fri- day when they crushed Lewis- ville High, 48 to 6. •'Lewisville jumped to an early lead when Les Thomas went 7|j yards on an end sweep on the ff|st play from scrimmage. The extra point attempt was smoth- ered by Walt Isenburg and Joe Sfifealy. ■ Shocked, the powerful offense o| the Spartans, which has aver- aged 32 points per game, got tiling as Jimmy Johnston pick- ed up 10 yards on CMA’s first offensive play. After Joe Kella- hln picked up eight, Johnston inbred on a 15-yard scamper, tfie try for the extra point fail- Land it was 6-6. ing yards, non uwihjmih scored both TDs and one extra point for the Day Schoolers. CMA came back in the final period to ice the game when Owens scampered 43 yards to the Spartanburg 4. He scored on the next play and Joe Kellehan added the point. Turning in outstanding per- formances for the Spartans were Owens, who amassed 196 yards rushing; Kenny Smith, Jimmy Johnston, Bobby Ebener, Phil Coleman, John Peeples, Joe Shealy, Mike Witmore and Ronnie Evans. CMA meets Bishopville Fri- day night. CMA Tops Lockhart, 35 To 26 Kellahan put CMA on the scoreboard again when he plucked a Lewisville pass, which has been deflected, out of the air and raced 25 yards un- touched across the double strip- es. Kenny Smith added the ex- tra point and it was 13-6, CMA, at halftime. Fullback Smith wasted no time in making it 19-6 when he bulled his way into the end zone from the Lewisville 25 early in the third quarter. Johnston add- ed the point after, and it was 20-6. Johnston sprinted 70 yards for a TD the next time CMA gained possession, and the route was underway. CMA’s Roland Smith snared a Lewisville pass on the third play after the kickoff and returned it to the Lewisville 2 CMA Backs Led Spartans To 6-3 Season Two of the top running backs in the area led the Camden Mi- litary Academy Spartans in the 1967 Statistics. Kenny Smith, the big 220 pound fullback from Chester- field, lead the team in rushing and tackles. Smith is still con- sidering different offers he has received from some of the large Southern schools. Jimmy John- ston, this years co-eapt. from Columbia, is headed for the Air Force Academy. Johnston was second to Smith in rushing and tackles, while leading the team in pass receptions. Junior quar- terback Steve Skidmore (Char- lotte, N. C.) completed a total of 34 passes, good for 511 yards. Kenny Smith lead in the scor- ing department with 74 points. The Spartans posted the best season in the school’s history - winning six while lossing 3 (two being top ranked teams in the state). 19, Sophomore Ronnie Baucom blasted in for the score behind the blocking of 286 - pound Walt Isenburg. Stumpy Jackson added the point, and it was 34-6. Quarterback Steve- Skidmore rolled out and scored from 10 yards out to make it 41-6, and Kenny Smith intercepted a Le- wisville pass on the CMA 10 and rambled 90 yards for the Spartans’ final score. Camden Military is now sport- ing a fine 5-1 record. Spartans Spartans Defeat Carlisle The Spartans of Camden Mi litary Academy ended then most successful season last Fri- day by blasting arch - riva! Carlisle Military School, 25 to 7 CMA’s offensive unit was sluggish in the first quarter, al- though Bobby Ebener moved the Spartans for three first downs Kenny Smith and Jimmy John- ston carried the rushing load but the Cadets could not get or the scoreboard. The Spartans’ defensive unit held the visitors to one first down during the first period, Hard defense was displayed by End John Peeples and Tackle Joe Shealy. Carlisle got on the scoreboard first with only two second left in the half as Robert Buck ram- med over from the two and John Kershaw kicked the extra point. CMA came back an inspirited team in the second half, taking the kickoff and marching the length of the field, with Skid- more passing to Jimmy John- ston for the TD. The extra point was no good, and it was 7-6, Car- lisle. The Spartans’ go-ahead score came in the fourth quarter on a 10-yard pass play from Skid- more to Bobby Ebener. John- ston added the extra point and it was 13-7, CMA. CMA Rapt Dreher By 53-0 Headed For Best Season CMA Tops Lewisville, 48-6, For Fourth Straight Win - The Spartans of Camden Mi- 26 Football began m the heat of the August sun and ended on a hot day much the same as we started, in-between there were more downs than ups. Sometimes the Spartans played harder, and better than was expected of them, sometimes not, but they always had the right attitude and spirit of a well-coached team. The players had respect for their coaches and worked hard for them and any of the 1967 football players will tell you that this is what led them to a 6-3 season.

The boys worked desperately trying to make a comeback from the 2-7 season the year before; but nobody really knew what combination we had. With only a day to go and a 135-mile ride ahead of us, the team felt ready to test their skills against Spartanburg Day School. A cold sweat was felt by all the players as they awaited the starting whistle at Spartanburg for they all knew that this game would tell whether or not they had a winning team. With few players having the proper experience that their positions required, the Spartans set to work as a team and grabbed an early lead, Bobby Ebener, a first year senior, played an outstanding first half at quarterback and led the team into the dressing room with the scoreboard showing the cadets ahead 12 to 0. The cadets scored once again in the second half to win the ball game 21-13. BOBBY EBENER Quarterback The cadets, suffering from the pride of winning, fell prey to the strong, fast Bishopville team. Before the final whistle blew, the cadets lost five starting players. Although the Spartans put on an outstanding defensive show the first half, they were unable to contain the running attack which lead Bishopville to a 30-0 win. All the players walked off the field that night with the pain of their first loss, but Coaches Dukes, Webber, and Johnson and the five returning letter- men, Johnston, Coleman, Emerick, Smith, and Jackson re- membered the night a year ago as now they fell victims to Bishopville two years in a row. DAVE MAREE 28 After feeling the pride of winning and the sorrow of los- ing, the Spartans were looking for another win, but hopes looked dim and morale was low as the Spartans challenged Lockhart on their field. Things looked even worse as the speedy right half back, Billy Owens, was out with an injury, but it did not take long for Billy's replacement, Joe Kellahan, to boost the spirit up as he darted across the goal line three times to the amazement of his own teammates. Though Lockhart matched score for score, Kenny Smith showed his skills in scoring as the Spartans took their second win. JOE KELLAHAN Halfback JOE BERRY MAULDIN Tackle Isenburg, Mauldin, Smith and Peeples set up wall for Billy Owens. WALT ISENBURG Tackle The Spartans riding a 2-1 start wanted another win as they took on the inferior Dreher Blue Devils. The cadets took an early lead and soon turned the game into a rout as the second and third string added on more points. The Spartans had won their third game 56-0, JOE SHEALY Tackle Kenny Smith bulls His path for a score. TUBBY PEEPLES Guard Still after revenge from last year, the cadets greeted the Flora Falcons for another day of sportsmanship. The Spartan’s offense grabbed two quick scores as kicker, Kenny Smith, set the Falcons deep in their own territory with his soaring long range punts. Flora’s offense was unable to start a drive as the Spartan’s defensive line, Mauldin, Isenburg, Shealy and Evans, led by the defensive captain, Phil Cole- man, held the Falcons to only one touchdown. The final score was 28-6. Football KENNY SMITH Fullback Lewisville was the fourth team to fall prey to the Spartan's powerful offense. Although it was the Lions’ homecoming and they did score the first touchdown on the first play from scrimmage, this did not stop the Spartans from showing the stands what they could do. Even when the coaches pulled the first string out early in the half, it did not hinder the second string from scoring. The final score was 54-6. 30 To win or lose a ball game is not too important, but its how well you play. The Spartans did play their best that night against Buford and the Spartan's 220 pound fullback gave an outstanding performance along with the other Spartans, but Buford played a better game and therefore they deserved to win. The final score 19-14. JOHNNY McLEOD End “Hartsville, mighty Hartsville.” Eastern Carolina’s Football Champions. Double A, Number I in the State at the time. Camden Military—Independent, Class C. Hartsville opened the game with the first score, but the Camden Military Academy Spartans were not to be denied a score either as they plunged across the Hartsville goal line twice. Bobby Ebener scored both times with a 42-yard run and a 68-yard run. Score 60-13. JIMMY JOHNSTON Halfback “Carlisle!” This was the sweetest victory of all for the Spartans. All previous games could have been defeats, but a victory from Carlisle would have made a winning season. Late in the first half Carlisle scored and ended the half with a 7-point lead, but it did not take the Spartans long to realize this was the last game as Skidmore hit Johnston with a 30-yard pass to put the Spartans back in the game. From then on it was a one, two combination between the Spartans defensive line and fullback, Kenny Smith and end, Bobby Ebener to add on more points. Outstanding players that day were Ron- nie Evans, who recovered four fumbles; Ebener, who grabbed two fumbles for TDs; Phil Coleman, who made 10 tackles; the defensive line, Joe Barry Mauldin, Ike Isenburg, Joe Shealy and Ronnie Evans.

Webber and Johnson Eaton shoots jump shot against Blaney in a real thriller. Basketball Every day when I walked on the court for prac- tice, there was a chill that would shake me. Just the thought of seeing that ball bounce or that net swish was almost enough to inspire poetry. But with the start of the season, this feeling changed slightly. The chill, even in the warmest buildings, would begin earlier and last longer, up until the time I ran onto the court. This is basketball. Even when you are cold, your palms sweat. When you are trying to rest, you are too jumpy, so all you can do is walk around zipping and unzipp:ng your warm-up jacket. You wonder how on earth that J.V. game could last so long; you wonder about the man you will guard; you wonder about the attitude of your team; you won- der about . . . and then coach Dukes comes in and spreads his patented, glassy stare along the bench, and all the wondering is over, the battle is at hand. That was the way it was, and the way it would be. If you wanted to play, you had to hustle, hustle every day, you had to take the punishment of elbows, the embarrassment of mistakes, and the hardwood court. Basketball is the sweetest misery known to man. You step on the court, then run till your muscles are too weak to ache any more. Just when you feel nothing can ever move you again, a loose ball dribbles your way and you lunge desperately to grab it. Quick pass. Two points. Your hands and elbows sting; bruises begin to appear on your knees; all at once the tape begins to bind so tight, that you find it hard to move; but that doesn’t matter. Just the feel of that precious leather in your hands . . . the satisfaction of knowing your job is well done . . . the solemn message from the quiet man, and you know it’s all worth it. Something about this man Terry Dukes. He quickly gained our respect with his tough, positive views about what the game was all about and our job we had to do. By the end of the season he had turned our big men into adequate rebounders and our guards into better than average shooters. He made us play defense, he made us play basket- ball. We walked away winners. —Stan Arazie. 33 Arazie lays it in for two more. VARSITY. KNEELING, LEFT TO RIGHT: Tim Parker.

Almost imper- ceptibly we began to adjust to the new year, assuming positions of leadership and responsibility. We searched for higher goals and found higher values. We grew more mature and acquired a con- fidence to face the world. We became the spirit behind Camden Military Academy in ’68. This has been our special year, our brief days of glory we cherished with pride. We have worked hard for Camden Military and can now proudly claim a part of her noble heritage. We are prepared to take new places in a post-modern world. We shall remain content in our efforts to accept the challenges of the future.

To start with, let me tell you this About our hip ole class: We started once as lowly Subs And just as green as grass. But now Big Time has changed all that; To this we will attest. We have gotten this through the years. Because we have done our best.

They started out green and ended up trained cadets after their six- weeks training period. The Training Cadre plays a very important part here at Camden and this year’s was a complete success in training the new cadets. The Training Cadre is chosen from non-commis- sioned and commissioned officers on the basis of merit and leadership abilities. We salute the job the Training Cadre did this year. 78 FIRST SERGEANTS AND MASTER SERGEANTS. LEFT TO RIGHT: James Mozingo, Walter Martin, I. T. Rogers, Rumsey Lewis, I. F. Rogers, Neil Creedon.

Risher Guard, now in its second year, has been a great success. They have performed in numerous parades and athletic events. Among their honors was second place in all events at the Annual Christmas Parade in Cayce, South Carolina. Under the command of First Lieutenant Litherland they have been forged into a precision team. The out- standing reputation set by them will be hard to beat. JUNIOR DRILL TEAM The R.O.T.C. Program 81 Reserve Officer Training Corps means that anyone enlisted in the program is being trained for further service in the Army's plan for tomorrow. It does not make a great deal of difference if one is taking the Junior or Senior ROTC program because both are basically the same, except the Senior has more work to it, and will usually get the graduate a Com- mission in the Active Army. Here at Camden Military Academy, Reserve Of- ficers Training Corps means a new and different life from the ordinary role that is played out of military schools or service. It takes a civilian who, usually has two left feet and knows basically nothing about military obligations or duties that are expected of a serviceman. Our program consists of three years of military science classes. The first year is usually taught by a Sergeant, the backbone of the army, who instructs the new cadet in military courtesy, custom and per- sonal appearance. The second year consists of the basic idea of warfare and the small unit dispersion of troops. The third and final year of ROTC here at Camden is used trying to smooth over the rough edges that were missed in the two earlier years. It tries to find out if you are a true leader with men under pressure or not. Here at Camden the program is not all work and no fun. Sgt. Wilson has developed an excellent drill team. Capt. Ware has a fine rifle team and both Capt. Ware and Sgt. Wilson have experienced excellent results. Capt. Ware and Sgt. Wilson start cadets off on maneuvers March 16, 1968. Lt. Col. Anderson reviews Company C as it passes in review. 82 Col. RisKer salutes cadets corps as it passes in review. Camden Military Academy is the place where ROTC cadets come, in the beginning of September to the end of May, to be initiated into the mystic rites of the United States Army. The ceremonies are steeped in cabalistic ritual. The cadet learns most significantly the talismanic use of such utili- tarian articles as beds, floors, and latrines. Beds are not to be slept on, they are to be made up; floors are not to be walked on, they are to be waxed and buffed; and latrines—See Sgt. Wilson and his FM66-1. Capt. Sims on O. C. with Capt.

Beckham, is the judicial committee which reviews any serious violation of the cadet regulations. All evidence and witnesses pertaining to the case are brought before the council. A verdict is then submitted to the Headmaster for approval.

Excalibur ’68 The 1968 EXCALIBUR staff has worked long and hard to produce this book of memories. Work began in August with the returning of the ’67 EXCALIBUR members. At this time Jimmy Johnston, Edi- tor; Capt. Sims, Advisor, and the other staff members went to work on the layout. By the time school began all of the staff members had begun work on the best annual ever.” The staff is actually divided into two groups. The Production Staff starts from scratch and finishes with a yearbook representative of an entire school year. Production begins with the layout and pro- gresses with write-ups, headlines, and pictures. The Business Staff has the responsibility of solving the problems of finance. This is done by selling annual ads to various businesses throughout the area, and collecting profits from the sale of class pictures. Although much hard work has been required for the publication, each staff member has had much enjoyment in producing the 1968 EXCALIBUR. 97 JIMMY JOHNSTON Editor MISS LYNDALL KELLY Sponsor Rose and Cal hard at work at their favorite machines.

Men in morale, and spirit; though lacking in size, they stand tall in leadership among other cadets on campus. You can tell a C Company cadet anywhere by his manners and respect: for these come first in his social and cadet life. 117 Would Believe? Adams down a straight line. Col. Risher granting general amnisty when it isn't The Citadel's 125th birthday. Joe Berry getting a gold star. Capt. Wallace flunking out. Isenburg and Capt, Webber in a sprint medley team. Drew without a senior ring, Sgt. Wilson in a sailor suit. Col. James is a Hippie, Arazie and Sanders tied in the vote for the James F. Risher Award. Doug Dills is only 14. Our Fac Offs in the Army. Prof. Brown worked his way through Barber School as a butcher. Sir Edward (Capt. Sims?) you dance divinely. Mrs. Dallas looking over the steerling wheel instead of through it. Capt. Sandel severely dementing Cadet Peeples. A quote from the 196! EXCALIBUR, The new gym will start going up next year. Liverman on O. G. Naylor rooming with Johnston, J. E. Ford and Buckles mopping the floor at four a. m. William Best Is accepted Into the college of his choice. There is something Pete Lewis has not done. Bobby Ebener is an introvert.

Colombo and Creedon whistling Dixie in the shower. Yesterday we came; We did our work; We took the rings on our heads; Today . . . Today it's different. This has been OUR YEAR. The year known by all seniors as OUR YEAR. This was OUR YEAR to sit on the Cess Pools, OUR YEAR to smoke in the canteen. The Academy has been, for each one of us, our largest stepping stone in life thus far. None of us will ever shed the memories instilled on us by the Academy. CMA will forever be within our minds, and may we pray, that we, as a class, have done something that will enrich the lives of those we now leave in our footsteps. Yesterday we came, today we rule, tomorrow it is yours, for we are gone. I 18 CantESN The day rushed by in blur of impressions; every hour has brought something new, and we have not been conscious of time. But finally a bell rings, and we relax. A day comes to an end with a burst of enthusiasm, an explosion of release. 119 Yet nothing has really ended. A day has passed, yes . . . but there will be others, all different. What we have gained and given today is permanent; each experience has shaped us, however slightly. This has been a day of life, of growth of excitement—our day.
