Polo and Planes don’t mix. Camden Military Academy is bounded by US Route 1, the Maine to Florida highway, now only an alternate for traffic on 1-95—Main Street USA—and the Kershaw County Airport. CM A facilities include World War II structures built for Army Air Corps flying school use, renovation of which reflects a transformation from tempo- rary wartime construction to fully renovated, substantial buildings. This year the county built a new air terminal for Woodward Field, the most significant addition to the facility since wealthy sportsman Ernest Woodward donated land for an airport in the 1920s to discourage pilots from landing their planes on his polo field, now part of Springdale Racecourse. The City of Camden attracts tourists in num- bers and is a mecca for horsemen, but principal interest in the town for the average cadet is the predictable fare at Burger King and McDonald’s. Pictured here are scenes shot in the community, beyond self-contained CM A. Top left, then clock- wise: Eric Gadlage and Will Rice stride toward fast food heaven, DeKalb Street, Camden. Col. Risher leads the Pledge of Allegiance during dedication ceremonies for the new airport termi- nal, October 1, the color guard proudly in atten- dance. Mike McCoy and Dana Lunsford pre- flight their Cessnas before the new terminal. Ber- tram Firestone, owner, watches excitedly as Mike Boiter and Scott Serpas assist Carolina Cup Rac- ing Association Director Dale Thiel in placing a blanket of carnations over the neck of 1988 Colo- nial Cup winner Jimmy Lorenzo, Jonathan Smart up, November 27. It’s a road not taken for Eric Gadlage, Ted Dailey, Evan Samli, and Jim Den- ton, just beyond the parade field. 8

We’re back and on track. Summer 1988 wound down, as summers will, and our CM A family reassembled from far corners of the globe to trigger the start of a new school year. Newsworthy world affairs reordered themselves. While interest in Latin Ameri- can and Middle Eastern military and political confrontation cooled, concern heated up over the environment. Global warming, the greenhouse effect, took on immediate importance as the whole planet felt the heat last summer. Worsening the environmental crisis is the depletion of the ozone layer. Scientists now fear that the very foundation of the food chain, disruption of plant growth and the process of photosynthesis, may already be upset Carbon-dioxide loads, chlorofluorocarbon residues and forest destruction have pushed the world’s life-support system to the very brink of breakdown. Toxics, smog, and acid rain problems compound- ed themselves and remain largely unresolved. The specter of AIDS grimly evidenced itself in hospital waste, syringes and tainted blood-testing jetsam, which appeared in coastal wa- ters and washed up on sea beaches. Gloom, however, was not universal. While our contempor- aries, according to media reports, may be preoccupied chief- ly with the triple C’s of crack and crime and casual sex, the three R’s occupy us here. New faculty and staff complement- ed old stalwarts, the Baldridge SAT Preparation Course be- came an optional addition to the curriculum, and alumni giving permitted a sevenfold increase in scholarship awards. An expanded Military Department affords closer cadet di- rection throughout the battalion with a tactical officer as- signed to each company. Physical change is most notable in the disappearance of the firing range, which stood on county property, and the erection of a new air terminal, with direct access from US Route 1, only a few feet from the former range site. Work crews completely renovated faculty apartments opposite Band Company and thinned and limbed stands of longleaf pine which dot the campus. Summer switched to autumn. Presidential election cam- paign and Discovery and Atlantis countdowns held our atten- tion, and XXIV Olympiad competition in Seoul brought the world together. In a media extravaganza, the US and USSR combined to save two of three California gray whales strand- ed in pack ice off Port Barrow, Alaska. That cooperative effort was prelude to the immense new challenge of manag- ing what may be the last stages of the cold war and of inventing a new economic and political world role for the United States. For all these happenings, singer Bobby McFerrin crooned background music, his number one single “Don’t Worry, Be happy.” At CMA we were back and on track.
