FOREWORD The EXCALIBUR Staff of 1969-70 hopes to give a vivid and explicit picture of this past school year at Camden Military Acad- emy. It is our sincere wish that the contents within these pages bring back memories of a year well spent. We have learned many things that can not be found in books. The relationship among us all in our triumphs and our defeats, our joy and despair, our personal feelings, and our sense of moral duty has offered us all an education that could not have been acquired at any place except Camden Military Academy. In future years we will look upon the people who made this year and feel a sense of pride that we have been, and always will be, a living part of CAMDEN.

 GET BACK . . The cadet corps of Camden Military Academy could never find someone to take the place of “Mom”. There is not a cadet at Camden who does not have a place to go when they need someone to talk to. Many times a cadet will come across a prob- lem that requires a mother’s understanding. Mrs. Rose always finds a solution for all of her “boys”. Sometimes it seems home is very far away or maybe even a part of the past but it is always comforting to know that there is someone who understands a young man. Having a son of her own, “Mom” is not always as “soft as butter” because among her many qualities she knows that firmness is essential in maintaining respect from her many admirers. Many times we have let her down but no one can say Mrs. Rose has ever betrayed our trust. Not only is Mrs. Rose our “Mom,” she is also a top-notch nurse. From patching up the Spartans to the shot I never felt, she has continued her dedicated practice here to the highest of her ability. She handles every case tactfully from the inspection we didn’t want to go to, to the time we were really sick. Andy Rose works hard, some- times to the point of exhaustion. Everything seems to get put on Mrs. Rose, from a home- sick cadet to the Tea dance. Even though she faces every day with the responsibility of two hundred and forty young men, she always does more than she is required to do. Because of her efforts and positive attitude of what she wants done, she has brought the infirmary up to the highest standard that she possibly can. Because of “Mom's” understanding, pro- ficiency in her profession, and diligent work, we of the senior class take pride in dedi- cating this NINETEEN SEVENTY EXCALI- BUR to MRS. ANDY ROSE. 3
