FOREWORD I NNte JAMES E. JOHNSTON Editor DAVID C. 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. RICHARD SIMS Faculty Advisor 17
