HISTORY OF DEDICATION We of the 1969 class of Camden Military Academy do dedicate for his unselfish devotion to our school, this, our annual. For his years of hard work to make men of the cadets at Camden Military Academy , no words can truly express our gratitude to Sarge . When all else around us seemed to falter and blur, his guidance and leadership never failed, and in times of stress he always stood faithful and true. Sgt. Charles Wilson was born in Kings Mountain, North Caro- lina, entered military service early in life, and has fought for America in many battles and in many lands; and just as he never failed the trust of the country he loves, he never failed in his service to C.M.A. Sgt. Wilson will leave the Academy this year, but hundreds of cadets will always remember Sgt. Chuck Wilson as being a fair and helpful man who could be relied upon. To Sgt, Wilson we want to say Thank you and good luck. 3

FOREWORD The year is drawing to a close, and man is a being who tends to look back- ward and reflect. In quiet moments, we can remember the good times, the hard times, the joy and sorrow of a year gone by. Camden Military Academy was a vital part of our lives and as always in life, one gets back just what he puts in. By trying to do our best, giving a smile instead of a frown, saying a good word instead of a gripe and attempting to make things easier for everyone, we reach closer to what it truly means to be a man. If in this year we have all learned something about how to give and take, how to face troubles squarely and without fear, then this has been a good year. Suddenly, the true purpose of the Academy is clear—to teach each of us—to be a better, more solid human being. A yearbook is a collection of memo- ries and the hope of the EXCALIBUR staff is that this annual will serve as a reminder of the events that took place in 1968-69 at Camden Military Academy. May they be good memo- ries and may we have the understand- ing that in most ways, it was a good year. To those who do not graduate this year, good luck in the future. Re- member us as we will remember you. 5
