VOLUME 27 CAMDEN MILITARY ACADEMY Camden, South Carolina 20920 (US Route 1, North) Phone: (803) 432-6001 1 Past 1st Baptist Church, the band makes the music for the step in Camden’s annual Christmas parade. A platoon marches step by step from the parade field. 2 Step CONTENTS Opening......................................2 Student Life.................................4 Sports.................................. 28 People.................................... 42 Academics and Clubs.........................80 Index.................................. 94 Closing....................... ................... 96 Feet move, step by step, one after the other continuously, or figuratively, by successive degrees, by gradual and regular pro- gress, We make or take a step, walk in a person's steps, and keep pace with another's. Progress is measured step by step. The Oxford English Dictionary devotes six pages to “step,” vari- ations of verb usage alone ranging from “step between” through; step into, on, off, out, over, to, aside, back, down, forth, forward, in, off, out, together, and up; in transitive form, to step down, in, or across. US Army Field Manual 22-5 defines “step” as “ . . . the prescribed distance measured from heel to heel of a march- ing man.” That distance is thirty inches, two and one-half feet for the short and for the tall, for those legged long or short. A first step is basic to any endeavor. At Valley Forge, the Prussian staff officer Friedrich Wilhelm, Baron von Steuben, viewed a ragtag and bobtail American army and promptly be- gan to prepare his “Blue Book,” The Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States, published in 1779. He recognized the urgent need to instill in every soldier a sense of alertness, urgency and attention to detail, to establish objectives for developing teamwork, confidence, pride, esprit de corps, and discipline. The need is just as real today, not only in a strictly military context but also for simply getting along suc- cessfully in daily life. Steps in military training build self-discipline which enables an individual to set realistic goals for himself and to work sys- tematically, in a series of steps, to achieve it. In formal learning too, students work step by step, comparable to the process of life being education in itself, acquired one step at a time, initiated at birth and continuing until that inevitable final one. A lockstep march through life, however, contains an inherent societal danger: doing what the other guy's doing, because he's doing it, mimicry which stifles individuality and creativity. Edu- cation prepares people to evaluate and to accomodate to new situations. Just as Baron von Steuben taught drill movements to the colonial rabble, to develop discipline and confidence, from which organization, chain of command, and control improved as each man had a specific place and task within a formation, through transfer the well-disciplined individual adjusts his steps, however measured, enabling him to keep an ear tuned to the beat of a different drummer, and to decide, in or out of step, when and where he’ll march in unison, when and where he’ll vary his cadence to adjust and to adapt to the needs and exigen- cies of changing situations, places, and times. 3 Top: Cadets mark time, preparatory to the parade.

Summer 1984 concluded with a bang: the Olympics instilled in us a renewed sense of pride in our superb athletes, in our nation, and in ourselves. Clara Peller demanded ad nauseum, “Where’s the beef?” and the year moved on with space spectacu- lars, four more years for President Reagan, a baboon heart implanted in Baby Fae and an articifical one in William J. Schroeder. Terrorism was rampant from London to New Delhi; industrial disaster from Mexico, DF, to Bhopal unnerved us all; and the famine in East Africa, with its political, ecological, and economic complexities, bewildered both the altruist and the isolationist. These events and many more were part of a progres- sion of steps, both up and down, in our world just yesterday. Late summer marked time for the CMA family to get in step once again to meet the challenge of another academic year, to welcome new experiences for the continuing education which is life. Giant steps for an improved school plant kicked off the season. Brick veneer and new roofing transformed the dining hall, barracks, and Colonial Hall from a fatigued look of World War II “temporaries” to substantial, aesthetically pleasing fa- cilities. One greying faculty member wondered aloud if he’d gone to heaven when on a sultry September day he flipped his classroom thermostat and cool air poured comfortingly over his sweaty students, energizing them for greater learning effort. Perspiring for physical and athletic gain here will never be the same again. A fully renovated gym, from playing floor to roof, and a new wing to house a completely modern weight room, and incidentally provide a remote location for a band practice room, adds one more first-class structure to a campus for which all of us may be increasingly proud. On August 27, however, the cadre arrived to construction work still in progress. The group was primed and fired up to receive, to indoctrinate, and to train new boys due the following day LTC Wilmot T. Riley, new Commandant, was in place and a few days MSG Marvin L. McCullough joined him as JROTC Instructor. Col. Phillip Minges Jr. assumed the position of Di- rector of Development and Alumni Affairs and three new facul- ty officers too were ready to launch the school year. j The Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu stated in the Sixth Century B.C., “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” And so we began our academic year, one step at a time. The gym addition underway, its completion weeks away.

PRECISION, COLOR AND CONTROL ‘ Awesome” is the buzz word today to describe what was only “cool” yesterday, but past, present, or future, the cadet corps marching onto the parade field stirs the most blase watcher. Staff members, however, function more than ornamentally. Cadets bear the United States, Camden Military Academy, and Carlisle Military School colors proudly. The James F. Risher Guard performs precision drill for special events, on campus and across the Carolinas, and in drill team competition. Marching individually, in step to form squads, platoons, companies, and, finally, that entity of a rifle battalion, the same components are structure for student government and community. Step by step cadets develop the self- discipline to take orders and eventually to assume responsibility and earn authority to give them. Color Guard members — Rick Faulkner, Preston Walter, Todd Parker, Jon Faulkner, and John Hill — advance the colors for parade formation. The James F.

The armory staff maintains M1903 rifles, insures accurate inventory, and issues weapons for drill practice and for parades. Each task is accomplished with maximum efficiency. In conjunction with the quartermaster, the supply room staff orders, receives, accounts for, and issues items ranging from socks to footlockers. The facility is open according to schedule and operates as an efficient and businesslike military function. 1LT Jay Harris has run supply with precision. Members of the cannon detail are essentially volunteers who each evening lower the American flag and fire the 12 gauge parade cannon during retreat ceremonies and for dress parades. They’re visible, their signals easily audible.

City Laundry and Cleaners of Camden does the washing and cleaning, but Laundry Staff issues slips and super- vises collection and transport of mounds of dirty clothes. The group is on the spot to return those same bags full of clean clothing. Mobility is vital to the corps, for leave, intermural sports, church attendance, cultural events, medical appointments, etc. A select group of drivers wheel vans and buses from campus to town and be- yond, then back again. Merits and demerits require posting to individual records. Accuracy is essen- tial for the tally determines eligibility both for furloughs and for notice to serve confinements.

Company clerks Robbie Vergnolle, Michael Myers, Brian Welborn, and afternoons at the office. Allen Butler work diligently posting merits and demerits to records. 13 REVEILLE TO TAPS Moments after reveille. (Comdr John Feltham “quotes Cadet Davis as saying, “I comb my hair every morning with a brick.”) Capt William Funderburk (above) checks Cadet Davis’ math homework while Damon Edmondson ponders a problem solution. Craig Moyer (right) distributes mail as Richie Coulter checks the post. A CMA day, Individuals comprise the cadet corps and no one is typical. John W. Davis of Memphis, Tennessee, a seventh grader, howev- er, stands out. He’s the smallest boy in the school, his father attended CMA in 1970-71, and his great-grandfather graduated from Carlisle in 1925. Both of his parents are in the US Navy. About CMA Davis says, “I like it.” Days here at the academy are mostly routine. A bugle shat- ters the stillness at 0635. Groaning groggily, cadets quickly dress and move out for breakfast formation and a generous morning meal. Area, barracks, and room clean-up follow, pre- paratory to an 0815 facilities inspection while they’re in class. After a full morning of instruction, at 1145 cadets again move out for dinner formation, the noon meal, and afterwards an eagerly anticipated mail call. Afternoon classes follow, then drill practice on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or tutorials, periods for academic make-up or for individual help, on Tuesday and Thursday, Physical training and both intramural and inter- mural sports follow tutorials. Six is suppertime, preceded by a daily retreat ceremony. Afterwards cadets may relax in their rooms or at Carlisle House, the recreation center, before the bugle sounds recall for evening studyhall. Recall blows again at nine forty-five and at ten taps declares that day is done. Week- end routine is broken by leave periods, church on Sunday, and opportunity for parents and friends to visit. A photographer’s lens focused recently on Davis’ day and recorded these scenes, quite typical happenings in the life of every cadet. 14 John with a ubiquitous can of Brasso — it makes it shine.

Alpha Company “Evil ‘A’ ” “ ‘A’ Company” isn’t just a building descrip- tion or an organizational designator. “A” Com- pany is people, and people who care. Even if studyhalls are not the quietest, members are, for the most part, studious, although, as they say, “sort of kicked back.” “I wouldn’t live in another company if you paid me,” says David Case. “We have the big- gest rooms, cleanest halls, and prettiest view,” chimes in Rhett CrulL Porches are secluded and the overall location is good: close to class- rooms, mess hall, gym, and libarary. Captain Marc Rogers and his staff have the reputation for a sharpness which they transmit to their subordinates. “A” Company stays cool in summer and warm in winter. It’s a tight group. 17 Bravo Returns •.. as Honor Company Returning as Honor Company, Captain Gary Micko, his staff, and his troops want to win again. They see a repetition of that recog- nition over the horizon and are running hard toward it, confident that they’re best-drilled, have the battalion’s sharpest uniforms, and boast the corps’ highest morale. “ ‘B’ Company is the ground floor of CMA, down to earth and very easy going,” according to Craig Moyer. These lads look at CMA life from a perspective that everyone has a job to do and he does it. They’re very laid back, not allowing things to get to them. If they lose a phase, they don’t get upset or pout, but take it in stride and get to work for the next round. “B” men hang tough, confident they’re BEST. (Above) Staff.

Prejudiced though he may be, a company member stated: “When one of the boys from ‘C’ Company walks across the campus, cadets stop and say to themselves, ‘I wish I could be in ‘C Company.’ ” JP Hill says, “We’re a proud group of guys, living as a family in the second story. We work together to accomplish the daily tasks we have to perform.” They are a proud, tight organization which Captain Ubaldo “Pu” Acosta leads and whose mem- bers eat, sleep, work, sweat, laugh and cry, shave, shower, and perform other varying functions, all in very close quarters. “C” excels in leadership and in fellowship, and, in the latter department, everyone puts out to succeed as a team.

Band Company The Musicmakers The boys in the band .. mind the music and the step.. .” and, in a great many instances,“... with the girls are handy.” Band Company provides melody and, of course, the beat for drill and for parades. Located across from the guard room, Band is only a step away for the bugler to sound reveille early in the morning and to continue calls through taps, late in the evening. Sound, as a matter of fact, keynotes the organization. At the start of studyhall each evening, musicians practice with their instru- ments for the first half hour, a near deafening cacophony. But individuals combine their creative efforts on parade and re- view days to provide military marching music which keeps the whole battalion in step and marching sharp. Company Commander Captain Cliff Carter says, “A com- pany is a unit of people who are working hard to accomplish something important to themselves.” Individually and as a group, band members do work hard and, whether playing on campus, during parades in neighboring communities, or in concert, they look sharp and provide mellow military music. What they achieve is not only personally rewarding but also a real contribution to the entire corps. 23 GASTRONOMIC ACHIEVEMENT Mrs. Davis feeds the whole family. Greenwich Mean Time is the base for standard time in most countries and the Atomic Clock in Boulder is the authority on chronometry, but Mrs. Bessie Davis’ kitchen clock establishes CMA time. Her mess hall is CMA’s hub, and for seventeen years, she has served three meals per day, on time, to more than two hundred cadets, a seven day a week process, late August to mid-May, with breaks only at Christmas and for spring vaca- tion. In all those years, Mrs. Davis missed actually serving meals only twice, once to attend a wedding, once a funeral. An army marches on its stomach and Mrs. Davis knows CMA cadets stay in step by partaking of her culinary products. This Camden native rises at four each morning and departs the mess hall after seven in the evening, “My job’s tough,” she says, “but I couldn’t make three meals a day possible without my staff and KP’s.” They’re obviously dedicated to her and, as she is, to feeding the hungry corps, Mrs. Davis is a mother of six and a grandmother fifteen times. “I like boys,” she says. Cadets know it. A myriad of tasks awaits Luther Thompson daily. 24 Mrs. Bessie Davis, Dietician, readies for the hungry hordes of cadets.

THE DANCE FLOOR’S ALIVE The beat is today's, delivered by bands selected by the hard working dance committee headed by George Pagan and advised by LTC Jim Watson. They do the planning, book the bands, and transform the gym just for one night into a place apart from athletic competition and the roar of sports crowds. fn conjunction with fall Visitors Day and again before commencement, cadets, their dates, and invited family members don their formal outfits for an evening of danc- ing. In February, juniors host seniors at a prom. At these events stag lines usually form, comprised of dateless ca- dets present ostensibly to listen to the music. Spontaneous expression, however, in the gyrations of breakdancing of- ten dazzle dancegoers, and occasionally a cadet guitarist or drummer fills in for a set with the band. The dance floor’s alive.

The home opener against Bethune on September 14 con- cluded in a 2-6 loss. Playing well after a scant two weeks of pre- game practice, the Spartans scored on a sack in the endzone. Coach Eric Boland summed up the game: “We hurt ourselves with a great number of penalties against the offense.” The second game, at Scott’s Branch’s potholed playing field with porta-potties for comfort fa- cilities, resulted in worse Spartan luck during a very physical and punishing game. That state AA runner-up team scored on big plays—a 60 yard pass play, 40 yard run, and an 85 yard pass play. The Spartan offense had the ball inside the 10, but failed to score. Against Lockhardt, the game ended 14-8, the first victory since 1981. Marc Rogers ran a seven yard touchdown for the winning score, “A beautiful run on second effort,” according to Boland. With a home field advantage, the Spartans came from an 0-8 defi- cit in the beginning of the fourth quarter to score twice. “It was a tremendous win for the team. We deserved it,” Coach Boland stat- ed. The Spartans were ready for their next opponents, Charlotte Latin, state-ranked twelfth, but they won by a score of 18-8. Ac- cording to the coach, “The de- fense had one of the best games of the year. Charlotte-Latin scored on our mistakes and that was what hurt us.” Gaston Day’s homecoming game was a real disappointment, an 8-14 loss. The Spartans had many chances to win, but they could not capitalize. After the third quarter with Gaston lead- ing 7-0, then 14-0, Boland sent in the play “Shotgun Formation 50 Pass.” George Pagan received a 65 yard touchdown pass from starting quarterback Steve Wit- ter. A real turn-around for the moment, the Spartans elected to try for a two-point conversion in- stead of a field goal. JP Hill broke away on an off-tackle play and ran in the ball for the two- point conversion. “Every time we started to really move the ball, the clock ran out on us. We were stopped on the 12 yard line at the end of the first half and on the 17 at the end of the second half,” Boland reflected after this dis- heartening loss. The next week the Spartans traveled to Charleston to play East Cooper in a thoroughly frus- trating encounter. Having had three touchdowns called back, the Spartans lost by a score of lb- 22. Eagerly anticipated, the matchup with rival Heathwood Hall determined the Palmetto Athletic Conference champion- ship title. The Spartans were fired up, but penalities hurt and big plays helped Heathwood rack up 14 points to CMA’s 8, which JD Hill made in a five-yard run and Patrick Langley ran for the extra points. A disappointed coach complimented the Spar- tans: “The boys played a great game of football. They really moved the ball well.” The final game against Christ Church was a conclusive let- down. After grinding through an unimpressive first half, the Spar- tans played an excellent second, but the score was so enormously weighted in the Greenville team’s favor that no matter how hard they tried, they could not break the 0-26 score. The Spartans, their Head Coach Eric Boland, Lineman Coaches Phil Hudson and Leigh Dellinger, and Specialty Teams Coach Larry Seymour, who worked hard with the quarter- backs and kickers, deserve a sin- cere “well done.” You can’t win ’em all.

Despite a home field advantage, the JV Spartans suffered an initial defeat, 0-12. The team’s morale soared, however, after their homefield encounter with Thomas Hart, a 20-8 victory. Quarterback Ronnie Vergnolle ran and passed the ball superbly as the Spartans dominated this game from the very first quar- ter. In the next contest, the Junior High team traveled with the JV’s for a doubleheader against Thomas Sumter who overpowered the Spartans because of their mental mistakes, fumbles and interceptions. Fullback Jimmy Mook ran the ball well, but the team could not capitalize. The final whistle blew a note of defeat, 0-20. The JV’s faced a similar fate with the same 0-20 score. But as Allgood stated, “This was perhaps the Spartans’ best game of the season. The defense played exceptionally hard against a much larger and stronger team.” Against Heathwood Hall, the Spartans blocked a punt deep in enemy territory, a play which set up the six point score. The defense preserved the victory with a goal line stand in the closing minutes for a final 6-0 score. In the season final at Thomas Hart, a ground attack, led by Mike Burns, Max Cline, and Jimbo Thompson, proved too strong for the opposition, a 20-0 score and a great wrap-up for a young team and for Coach Allgood and Assistant Coach Ted Mosser. Ronnie Vergnolle (11) carries right into the endzone against Heathwood Hall.

Spartans next played St. Jude’s fast-paced contest, losing 50-53. Heathwood Hall hecklers set the tone for the next home game, chanting a deafening “Scoreboard!” whenever ahead. Of the 45-55 loss Coach Boland said, “We played a good first three quarters but lost it in the fourth.” In the Christ Church Invitational in Greenville, the first matchup was Brown- ing, NY, with whom the Spartans were within two points at the half. High scorers Scott Steen and Todd Parker, with 16 and 15 points respectively, contributed to a 48- 33 CM A win. In a second game with Eas- ley Christian, Todd Parker led the scoring with 34 points in a 62-66 loss. Boland declared the Florence Christian contest “ ... the best roadgame of the year,” a 47-42 victory. “We totally con- trolled them and beat them easily,” Boland said of the Spartanburg Day contest, 51-36, prelude to a disappointing 38-47 loss to Heathwood Hall. Although CMA lost 44-48, the Shannon Forest game was the best of the year. “We just lost,” Boland observed. Against Wash- ington Avenue, after going into a double overtime after a regulation 50-50, CMA lost 52-53. Then, with players recovering from a flu epidemic, the team suffered a disappointing 30-40 loss against Spartan- burg Day. Against archrival Heathwood, both teams enjoyed small leads throughout the game, but in the closing seconds, Heathwood fell because of a couple of free throws by Nick Lopez and a failed last second attempt by Heathwood. With the final buzzer, the gym erupted, prompting Coach Boland to declare it the biggest win in five years and a dazed Heathwood coach to ask, “Why?” Shannon Forest outplayed the Spartans in a disappointing 44-64 loss, the team flat from the last encounter. In the final season contest against Washington Avenue, Scott Steen scored a high of 25 points in a 60-57 victory. At Heathwood Hall for the champion- ship tournament, against them in first round play, Nick Lopez was high scorer with 19 points. Ahead for the first half, the Spartans were outplayed in the second, los- ing 52-65, the season finale.

Hooping for Success Assembling a team from players who had never competed together before, Coach William Funderburk started off a mediocre season with a 34-29 win against Thomas Hart. Ronnie Vergnolle and Ken Kyser, however, both stood out as exceptional players right from the start. The next four games were disappoint- ing. Losing to Heathwood Hail 51-54, to Thomas Hart 32-38, to Florence Chris- tian 21-23, and finally to Heathwood 25- 31, the team was ready for a change. During practice they tried everything from a zone to a man-to-man defense. Funderburk predicted, “The tide will soon turn. The more we play the better we get.” With that philosophy in mind, the team fought off Florence Christian 37-29. Against Heathwood Hall, a spec- tacular 35-27 win was great for team mo- rale. Opposite Shannon Forest, the adrenalin flow slowed. Never having played this team before, and with only one day’s notice on the game, they lost 25-53. “We started out rough but we stuck through it. We just didn’t have the right ingredient to win until the second half of the season. A little longer season might have been better. No player really stood out, we played as a team,” Coach Fun- derburk explained as the season ended.

Mike Stone, Jim Hogan, and Peter Hasler co-captained the team alongside seniors Ubaldo Acosta and Roger Pughsley who lent stability to a young squad of seven juniors, five sopho- mores, six freshmen, and five seventh and eighth graders. Leading goal scorer for the Spartans was Acosta with 12 fol- lowed by Hogan with 9. Jeff LeNeave scored five goals, as did Peter Hasler. Alex Carew, Matt Witter, Luciano Beeches-Morales, David Tindall, Dean Saunders, and Mike Stone divided the rest of the scoring. Memorable moments of the season in- cluded; from a Spartan defense, Saunders scoring a goal from near half- field against Heathwood Hall, which kept CMA in the game; Hogan scoring three goals against Thomas Sumter; and, against Spartanburg Day, Ross Marlowe’s gutsy goal-saving slide at the cost of a severe kick in the face, resulting in a persisting raccoon appearance. Strength of the Spartan team was the defense, anchored by Stone and Saunders, and newcomers Price Barr and David Myers’ contribution to pro- tecting freshman goalkeeper Ross Mar- lowe. The season wound down at Heath- wood Hall for the Independent Schools Invitational Soccer Tournament with a third place Spartan finish.

MSG Marvin McCullough's shooters beat archrivals Airport and North Central High Schools and scored first of 12 teams in the Greenwood Invitational Matches. Tuesdays and Thursdays after tutorial classes, cadets fall out before the mess hall for calisthenics and for intramural competi- tion in volleyball, touch football, and field sports, organized by Capt. Kenneth Long, and LTC Jim Watson. Pumping iron is a popular pastime for many cadets, including Ricky Coulter, an eleventh grader who has achieved remark- able physical development during his years at CMA. He and a selected few cadets su- pervise the weight room with its brand new Nautilus equipment. The staff advises neo- phytes on weightlifting techniques and “spots” those competent in the sport. Besides organized programs, cadets may ride at the Camden Hunt Stables, play ten- nis on CMA’s own courts, or cool off at the pool with its adjoining Carlisle House ter- race, haven for applauding girlfriends. .«me of catch erupts on the parade field.

Miss America 1985, Sharlene Wells, visited Camden for the annual Christ- mas parade. The Queen and Her Court Miss America picks a friend and relations! Cadets sponsor beautiful girls in the annual Miss Excalibur contest by submitting photographs for judging. It has become a tradition for the reigning Miss America, in Camden for the annual Christmas pa- rade, to select winners, although last year the now notorious Vanessa Williams reneged on an appearance here. Happily again this year, Jack Brantley, who generously arranges for the actual judging, hosted Miss America 1985, Sharlene Wells, at his charming antebellum home, Aberdeen. On November 24, after making her selections, she advised, “It is very difficult to appropriately judge on the basis of photographs only, so I hope I did okay! Thank you for including me in your project and good luck to all of you in the future.” A look at the winners proves she did very well indeed. “She’s outgoing with a super personality,” sponsor Chad Ayers says of his sister Dana, a 1984 runner-up, now Miss Excalibur 1985. A former Miss Summerville, this Millie Lewis Agency model has ap- peared in Seventeen. The Columbia College freshman loves fashion and is something of a cat fancier. Dana is a very beautiful hazel-eyed brunette. Sponsor Glenn Lumpkin says of first runner-up Emily Lumpkin; “She’s my mom!” A Heathwood Hall secretary who is a tennis and a horseback riding enthusiast, Ms. Lumpkin is blonde and green-eyed. Ubaldo “Pu” Acosta met Tammy Polk, second runner-up, at a Ca- tawba High School baseball game last year. An eleventh grader there, Tammy has college plans and wants to be a model. She is medium height, has brown eyes, and brownish-blonde hair. As you can see, they’re lovely. Miss Excalibur 1985, Dana Ayers, sponsored by her brother, senior Chad Ayers. Tammy Polk, second runner-up, is “Pu” Acosta’s girl. 80 81 • • • Paul Oakes, pre-Algebra ic. BITS ’N BYTES Col.

AND CHANGING ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS Formal education is constant in that it is marked almost continuously by change. Although cadets received the usual encouragement to do their best within the framework of a college pre- paratory curriculum, in small classes, at- tention individualized, the bigger aca- demic world imposed new requirements. By fall 1988, applicants to South Caroli- na public colleges and universities must have completed certain courses in high school before they will be admitted. Pur- pose of the new requirements is to help college-bound students acquire those ba- sic skill and study habits that will best help them succeed in college. As the larger world changes, so must CMA. Future requirements besides four col- lege prep English courses, include: Alge- bra I and II and geometry; physical sci- ence, biology, and chemistry or physics; two units of the same foreign language; computer science; civics, world history, US history, and economics. The academic year saw Honors Eng- lish and formal Advanced Placement courses put on hold, but addition to the curriculum of computer literacy and programming. A new computer lab is equipped with new Apple IIC micro- computers and a printer. Physical plant changes include ren- ovation of Colonial Hall classroom building. New heating systems and the addition of central air conditioning units, coupled with bricked facades, turned it into a more attractive, much more permanent structure. New faculty members are Capt Ken- neth Long, USCG (Ret), math teacher; Lt Col David Day, USAF (Ret), social studies; and Capt Theodore Mosser, English. Change may very well be a mark of progress, but CMA goals remain con- stant: student growth to develop the whole man — mentally, physically, mor- ally. Officer-of-the-Day and Officer-of-the-Guard check tutorial attendance. MSG Marvin McCullough assists Paul Tant and Steven Chester during military training class. (Left) Keith Crump, Michael Drew, Dan Guthrie, Dana Lunsford, and Tony Harper blow their horns during band class. Mike Burns and David White (below) experiment with the Apple I1C. Mrs. Melinda Kane, Librarian, assists Robbie Verg- nolle and Paul Tamburrino in a research project. Jon Faulkner sets out eagerly for his next class. Major Gale assures that even Steven Witter is on page during senior English class. A FAIR CHANCE TO SUCCEED Academic achievement is essential to developing the whole man. Primarily college preparatory for grades seven through twelve, CMA offers an excellent academic program, small classes, and fully competent faculty. Evening study halls pro- mote good study habits and, for those who need it or request it, structured tutorial classes are part of the regular schedule each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Grade results are posted each two weeks and report cards reach home every six weeks. These marking periods are important to every cadet for they directly affect privileges granted and loss of the same. An aver- age of eighty-five per cent or above, with no grade less than seventy-five, signals inclusion on the Honors List with automat- ic library privileges, greater relaxation in rooms during study hall, etc. Failures require attendance at tutorials, multiple or repeated failures result in scheduling for special study halls on Friday and Sunday nights. Individualized attention and reward for good performance pay off. Even the most average cadets soon believe they can do well and the self-discipline which develops from completing homework on a regular basis and at scheduled times has transfer to other non-academic tasks and responsibilities. Every student deserves a fair chance to succeed in his studies, to prepare for college or for the marketplace. Camden Military Academy provides that opportunity. ASSEMBLY OF GOOD FELLOWS Concessionaires Scott Kennedy, Price Barr, Phil Zeski, and Rick Faulkner make a sale to Jay Harris and John Hill.

Samuel Johnson defined “club” in his 1755 Dictionary as “An assembly of good fellows, meeting under certain condi- tions.” CMA’s good fellows, grouped, range from athletes to aesthetes. Block “C” lettermen play ball and know how to have one too, bankrolled by food concession revenues. Selection to Delta Kappa Sigma, CM As fifteen member honor society, is status. Faculty choose only those cadets with good grades and attitudes, and evident leadership ability, for this self-supporting service group, advised by Capt Dale Ran- dolph. Capt Larry Seymour, Fine Arts Club adviser, promotes understanding and appreciation of the arts. Outings so far have included the Fine Arts Center of Camden, Riverbanks Zoo, and the Congaree Swamp.

Seniors in Major Gale’s English classes in particular may recognize phrases and ideas integrated into text which origi- nated in expository writing assignments over a semester. Now an extra-curricular activity, yearbook preparation began in Au- gust with Paul Tamburrino and Robbie Vergnolle laying the framework. Sean Mat- thews single-handedly turned “mug shots” into the People section, Michael Myers photographed and William Allen unend- ingly cropped photographs. The lights in Classroom 27 burned late many cold nights while Tamburrino and Major Burton Gale, Adviser, toiled on this reference book, record book, and memory book of this Camden year. Co-Editors Dwight Cauthen and Ronnie Vergnolle produced The Adjutant some- what sporadically. The Adjutant’s Mother, a spontaneous, “underground” publication met its demise after a single printing, but threatened to eclipse the “official” school paper. The Adjutant Co-Editors Dwight Cauthen and Ronnie Vergnolle assign stories to Pete Kern, Devin Grant, Whit Thompson, Damon Edmondson, Rick Cole, and Steve Stotts, while adviser Capt Ted Mosser reacts to a lighter theme.

Myers Print- er: Delmar Company, Inc., Horace Blackston, Representative STEPping into Spring Exams were the order of busi- ness as classes resumed after Christmas vacation. Second se- mester heralded many activities beyond the classroom including a memorable SWAT response to a simulated terrorist crisis right on campus. SC Highway Patrol Ser- geant Jim Braddock and his team, good guys and bad, took Richie Boyd “hostage” and subsequently “recovered” him. Helicopter as- saults, live weapons fire, burning vehicles, and convincing overall mayhem made spectators marvel. On February 25, the corps turned out proud and shined for the annual federal inspection, re- sulting in a rating of Honor Unit with Distinction. During weekend alumni reunion activities on March 2, LTC William Beckham, who taught at CMA for a quarter of a century, watched as his wife and grandchildren unveiled a plaque designating Colonial Hall as Beckham Hall. Cultural and educational activ- ity included concerts by the US Continental Army Band Wood- wind Quartet and by violinist Sarah Johnson, Kershaw County Fine Arts Center’s artist-in-resi- dence. Inmates from the Central Correctional Institution lectured on a “Get Smart” theme: don’t do it. Small group discussions were convincing that crime does not pay. Vietnam War veteran USMC (Ret) Lt Clebe McClary, disabled from multiple wounds received during that conflict, stood proud as the corps paraded in his honor. Later he described vividly his ex- ploits, his long road to recovery from his injuries, and the part God had played in his life. On a different note. Playwright Jay Thompson, who authored Once upon a Mattress and who di- rected a production of it here in Camden, April 11 to 21, enter- tained the corps with theatrical chitchat to piano accompaniment. His insights into Camden included the observation that a resident is nobody unless he’s a Dupont or a horse, and that although Camden {eont’d on page 98) Scott Patterson is in the ribbons at a Camden Hunt schooling show. His mount, Fleetwood, was a casualty of the March 12 wildfire which ravaged the Hunt Country west of CMA and burned across Woodward Field to the very boundaries of the school.

He ac- knowledged CMA thespians Dwight Cauthen and Allen Butler, members of his local production, and David Hamby and Whit Thompson, technical staffers. Honors and recognition were frequent this spring. George Pagan received the Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur Award and Dwight Cauthen a theater scholarship to the Governor’s School. Paul Tam- burrino and Sean Matthews repre- sented CMA with taped speeches on the theme “My Pledge to Amer- ica,” with which the former won the Kershaw County contest spon- sored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Jonathon Hill was CMAs winner in the Sertoma Club-spon- sored “America’s Heritage of Free- dom” essay contest. The Debate Team garnered honors at the State Classification Tournament when Paul Tamburrino became state winner in extemporaneous speak- ing and Ronnie Vergnolle and Dwight Cauthen won the title in duet acting. As we stepped into spring, all too rapidly final exams and gradu- ation rolled around. We packed up for summer and CMA’s twenty- seventh year became history. In the Bassett Room of the Fine Arts Cen- ter (picture 1, right), Col. Lanning P. Risher, Cadet Dwight Cauthen, Governor Richard Riley, and LTC James Dallas smile after Dwight's selection to attend the SC Governor’s School for the Arts, in Green- ville, June 23 to 27. Selected in the theater field, Dwight will undergo an intense course of study designed to help him to develop his artistic expression more fully. 2.

Spring Sports The Best Was Last “We should take it all . . . maybe even go undefeated” were Coach Larry Seymour’s words at the begin- ning of the 1985 baseball season. But to his dismay, the team started with three losses. Despite sound coaching assistance from Phil Hudson and good team leadership from Steven Witter and Pu-Pu Acosta, the base- ball club could not pull off a winning season. The year, however, ended on a high note with a final victory against Emanuel Baptist in a hard- fought overtime.
