These ideals are knowledge, faith, loyalty, and peace. The Latin inscription means Hope through Disci- pline. Nestled amidst a beautiful array of pine trees stands a building. One has only to pass by to feel the warmth, friendliness, and love encased in its walls. A great day is about to begin at this site. Students arrive; laughter is heard; a bell rings; hustle, hustle; silence in the halls; the beginning of a great day at this site. The site is Joseph Kershaw Academy. A day filled with preparing, participating, and playing. A day filled with acquiring know- ledge which shall enable us to cope with the secret of success, and failure which we will encounter outside this building. We at J. K. A. urge those who follow us here to make each day of his life A Great Day, and we urge this day be spent in preparing for future great days. Susan Freitag, Editor 1968-69 2 1965-1975 August 30, 1965 dawned with the pro- mised reality of a cherished dream. The dream for a school where students should have the complete opportunity of learning and practicing loyalty and patriotism had indeed come true. The unfaltering dedica- tion of a handful of people had conquered overwhelming odds and the result was the founding of Joseph Kershaw Academy. 3 Interest in a private school for Cam- den actually began in early 1965. Citi- zens concerned about education met for the first time in late February, and continued to meet until a Study Commit- tee was appointed to work out the details of the school. The Committee finally announced that there was sufficient interest for a school and that an applica- tion for a state charter had been sum- mited. 4 So with no money, no building or property, no formal commitment for students or teachers, the Study Commit- tee, now known as the Board oi trustees, made definite plans for the school's opening. The school was named Joseph Kershaw Academy, in honor of both the Joseph Kershaws who settled and founded Camden. The state charter for the school was then issued, faculty members were employed, and an opening date set. 5 Thus Joseph Kershaw Academy opened its doors for the Fall Term of 1965 with eight grades, eight teachers, and 130 students. This school was born of a need, and recognition of that need; from precedents galore; and from the inspiration, interest, and hard work on the part of parents, committees, and a host of interested people. 6 Ml Ten years later, Joseph Kershaw Academy stands proud- ly amidst the pine trees and beneath the skies of blue. The campus, laid out on land given so generously by Mr. Raymond C. Firestone, has grown in ten years to encompass four major buildings, including a gymna- sium. The school supports a kindergarten and twelve grades and has graduated five senior classes. 7 More important than the physical growth has been the growth of the spirit of loyalty and devotion for J.K. A. by students, faculty, and friends. The school has become more than just a school - it is a beautiful way of life for those of us who have spent much of our lives growing with it.

J '’¥ ' -4 jM jA k , I, ir. Ten years ago, eight dedicated indivi- duals in Camden dared to dream the impossible dream. They dreamed of a school where their children and others could have the opportunity to learn not only facts, but loyalty, patriotism, friendship, and love. Today, their dream is no longer a dream, but a reality - Joseph Kershaw Academy. We, the students of Joseph Kershaw Academy, would like to thank the members of the first Board of Trustees whose dedi- cation and loyalty in founding this school will never be equaled. Without them, there would be no Joseph Kershaw Academy. We thank them for our beautiful mem- ories of the past ten years and hope to prove ourselves deserving of their faith in the years to come. 15 OF We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams. Wandering by lone sea-breakers. And sitting by desolate streams World losers and world forsakers. On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world forever, it seems.

A spirit of dedication to each student, each faculty member, and to the school itself. It is a spirit that has grown as the school has grown. This spirit has strengthened not only JKA, but also the individual in which it lies. The spirit of JKA is reflected throughout all aspects of school life: athletics, academics, and numerous other school-related activities. But most importantly, this spirit is reflected in the attitudes of everyone involved in the greatest time of need. JKA was in need of a strong man to pull us through a time which could have been very difficult. Such a man has come to us and he has shown his concern for the school, its students, and its faculty. He has now in his present relationship with the school, as he had in the earlier one, the spirit of JKA. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Geoffrey L. Groat for taking over during the final semester of the 1974-75 school year. And the spirit will live on . . . The Joseph Kershaw Academy Board of Trustees, headed by Mr. D.J. Lovett, gave generously of their time to formulate our school policy and aid with school prob- lems. They held monthly meetings, but often found themselves holding meetings more frequently to discuss pressing subjects. They gave both financial and moral support to our school. Seated: Fred Williams, Dan Lovett, Betty Lamar; Standing: EdVereen, Don Campbell, Dave Ziemke, Louis Reames; Absent: David Smith, Geoff Groat, Dave Partin 54 The year resumed with our two faithful secretaries, Mrs. Winnie Boudreau and Mrs. Mickie Radford staunchly defending the Xerox ma- chine, thermometer, telephone, and other aspects of office work against the onslaught of students. Mrs. Rad- ford was forced to retreat and rein- forcements came in the form of Mrs. Sandra Dickey. Though she was new, she and Mrs. Boudreau brought our office, as well as the volumes of work which accom- pany it, safely through the storm of another year. Many questions arose in the minds of this year's Seniors, who finally realized that next year they would not be coming back to JKA. Mrs. Martha Clarke, as guidance counselor, handled the year’s problems and upsets with wisdom and understand- ing, and her quick smile restored us when we were on the verge of despair. 55 s LTY Connie West aided our low- er-school teachers this year and became a great friend of the students. She proved to be indispensible in every aspect of school life, and at the end of a long year, we say, What would we do without you? On September third, the first grade class stood on the threshold of a totally foreign world--school. In their eyes, it was an ad- venture in a grown-up world. Miss Delma Haz- zard led them through first grade-their first taste of school. They hold beautiful memories of it and have the greatest tool they can be given-an eagerness to learn. 56 Mrs. Margaret Rabon took seventeen young children and introduced them to the basics they will need throughout school- counting, the alphabet, and art- work. But more significantly, she helped color in their pic- tures, bandaged skinned knees, and kissed away their tears. Not only did she give them knowledge, but she gave them love. This year, JKA's second grades, under the guidance of Mrs. Vicki Rumbley and Miss Andrea Jenisch, explored new areas of reading, writing, and arithmetic. But more import- antly, they learned of the really valuable things in life-recess, bubblegum, crayons, smiles, new friendships . . . The third grade en- tered into a new year with lagging footsteps, but were soon caught up in the perplexing land of multiplication tables, spelling bees, and vocabulary. Patient- ly Mrs. Kaye Pope in- structed them through the midst of terrors, to arrive at yet another, more promising door of learning-fourth grade. 57 Mrs. Florence LaRoche was faced with the task of controlling twenty-one bun- dles of energy and still man- aging to teach them some- thing. Her success was not- able. The fourth graders still loved and respected her knowledge at the end of the year, but their turbulent energy remained unchecked as they sped into a long, golden summer. Mrs. Man- etta Miller took her fifth grade students on a tour of die United States. They also learned reading skills and the Properties of Mathematics. Through every aspect of learning, she taught them a respect for knowledge that will remain. It has not been unusual to see our newest coach, Mr. Chris Hunkier, at school from sunrise to sunset this year. The brave and mighty Hunk has taken on the duties of teach- ing P. E., Driver's Ed. and Earth Science, in addition to coaching our lovable J. V. s. Now alls you gotta do coach is find time to ride your motor- cycle. 58 Mrs. Elva Pitsenbarger instilled in her pupils a respect for history and its lessons. She carefully co-ordinated her course with teaching aids such as maps, tapes, films, and outside reading; endeavoring to make history alive with pageantry of the past. She also instructed a reading study skills class in the sixth grade to reinforce those important basics. Mrs. Sarah Paulling did it again. She took a group of kids who hated Math and considered it foreign and oppressive, and she taught them. With her radiant smile and words, she encouraged them when frustration threatened to overwhelm them. She found time to advise Upper Student Council and manage the school canteen. At the end of the year, even if all her students did not love Math, they loved her. Mrs. Karen Miller taught English, but as one student said, She puts in little things to make it interesting. Her quiet authority kept her students under control, but allowed her to be a friend to them. Her enthusiasm, however, refused to permit her to remain only in the class- room. She sponsored several clubs and supported her students in various aspects of school life. 59 Miss Debi Hudson was new to our school, but because of her own youth she easily made a place with her students. For the first time, she introduced Speech and Drama classes to the student body. Her Speech classes learned Project! . . . Don't lean on the podium! . . . Eye Contact! , and the high school classes be- came accustomed to hearing weird, inhuman noises floating through the halls during her drama classes. Her students learned to expect the unexpected when they stepped through her door. She also successfully directed the first productions of our JKA players. Hang-on Hol- lywood-here we come!!! Mrs. Sylvia Little prepared our students with a very useful skill for the future-typing. She struggled with our unco-ordinated fingers, schooling them through fumbles and frustra- tion. She has given us a practical skill, and a key to many careers. Madamoiselle Cathy Hood came to our school and asked her students, Parlez-vous Francais? They didn't and she began to teach the strange tongue of French. To do this she ar- ranged her room to create a more com fortable atmosphere, and took her stu- dents on informative field trips. Her diligent work has paid off. Yes, Mad- amoiselle, Tres bien! A little more culture for our school. 2 General Penny Pullum re- turned to the ranks this year. Once again, she taught us a history which was alive, not a dead part of the past. She taught us that the value of history is to learn and prevent future mistakes, and increased our awareness of our modern day world. She also worked diligently to give the Seniors a real Senior trip. Coach James DeBruhl took on the added load of teaching physical education classes, as well as coaching our athletic teams. It was by no means an easy job, and required almost all of his waking hours. He had time to care about students, and what happened to them in their lives, and tried to find a happy medium between academic school life and athletic school life. We feel that, through cooperation with other teachers, he has in many ways reached that goal. Mr. Jesse Hegler attempted to juggle the minds of his English students to a greater literary awareness and appreciation. Venturing into the realms of short stories, poetry, and drama, he led students into the minds of Shakespeare, Poe, Dickinson, Emerson, and Hemingway. His questions prodded our minds into spirited discussions, and when they got a little out of hand, he would bravely hitch up his pants and protest, O.K., let's listen. You may not have seen Andrew Williams every day, but what he did for our school could not fail to be noticed. We found that the bits of paper we carelessly dropped or dirt we unwittingly tracked in magically disappeared every day. He worked quietly with the authority of one who knows his job and he's done it well. Mr. Thomas Koob made his grand en- trance into our school this year. He put up with his wretched” students, struggling against the apathy, carelessness, and total confusion of minds to which mathematics has spelled defeat for too long. Though not all of us can say that the foreign” language of math- ematics holds no puzzles for us, the last year has helped illuminate the murk. Taking over a Science department mid-term is not a simple task, but Mr. Bob Langford, who replaced Mitch Nettles, accomplished the job with ease. Not only did he instruct classes all day, but also became a published author. His patience in answering questions is almost phenomenal. Mr. Lang- ford, you're O. K.

Formals and sportswear, curlers and make-up, mir- rors and last minute touches --these are the things that made up the exciting evening of January 25, 1975. This year, Miss Risa Little was crowned Miss Epaulet of Joseph Kershaw Academy. She is the daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom- my Little and succeeds our 1974 Miss Epaulet”, Bet Stogsdill. The pageant is sponsored annually by the EPAULET staff. Entertainment was provided by Mrs. Lynn But- ler, who sang a variety of popular songs, and by Nina Catoe, who also sang. The annual staff was aid- ed in decorating for the theme of Shangri-La by the J.K.A. Players. The seniors spon- sored a dance following the pageant, and music was pro- vided by Hickory Wind. 1974-75 EPAULET STAFF This, the tenth year anniversary annual of J. K. A., is the result of a fast and furious ad campaign, four nerve- racking deadlines, and Margaret's for- ever saying, You're late again, and no, you can't leave yet! Despite these obstacles, the staff did manage to meet EVERY deadline! Through it all, our common goal has been to produce an annual that each student would be proud to own, and Mrs. Pullum could say with pride was hers. We hope we have succeeded.

PLAYERS The Diary of Adam and Eve and The Proposal were the first two plays the J.K.A. Players produced. Based on the success of these. Miss Debi Hudson, director, is planning to perform a musical in the spring. With the fine talent of each dedicated player, this will be enjoyable for everyone. COMMUNITY SERVICE Nike Club was organized for the girls at J.K.A. to study various vocations, prepare for careers, give service to the school and com- munity, and to develop initiative and leadership. It has many responsibilities, and has been of great value to our school. Officers: Peggy Ketchen, Niki Beleos, V. V. Kornegay, Valerie Pitsenbarger, Karen Reynolds. 71 RAFFLES DANCES AUCTIONS DINNERS — This year's Parent Teacher Organization has been led by Mr. Thomas M. Swift as president. The P.T.Oo has raffled off a Yamaha motor- cycle to raise money for the school. In the near future, they will be planning the yearly spring auction. President-Mr. Thomas M. Swift III Vice President-Mr. F.E. James Secretary-Mrs. Pat Burton Treasurer-Mr. James D. Green PARENTS PANEL The Parents Panel this year has worked consis- tently to secure the breaches that sometimes result be- tween the administration, the parents, and the stu- dents. This organization was headed by Mrs. Nona Swearingen, with a parent representative from each homeroom and met monthly with the headmaster to fur- ther its goals for communica- tion. 72 WE ARE THE GENERALS AND WE ARE THE BEST!! This year's Pep Club was off to an enthusiastic start with an egg race and a delicious swig from the General's Jug for everyone. Cheerleaders, athletic participants, and enthusiastic students composed the membership of this year's Pep Club. Pictured at left is V. V. Kornegay, sergeant at arms; Kay Watkins, treasurer; Beth Lamar, sec- retary; Niki Beleos, president; Valerie Pitsen- barger historian; and Meg Richards, vice presi- dent. G-E-N-E-R-A-L-S!! The General's Club has always given both time and money to support the athletics of our school. This year, however, their support, in combina- tion with the varsity's determination, won for us the conference championship. Under the leadership of Cleatus Godwin, this organization has continued to promote the ideals of good sportsmanship. 73 The DyNAMic CeneraIs The 1974-75 edition of the Generals started with a bang as the JKA Varsity Boys won the first annual Joseph Kershaw Academy Tip-Off Tournament Championship. Ted Marshall captured the tourney's MVP award and Ted, along with Gill Reames, was named to the tournament all-star squad. Dur- ing the first game of this tournament, high scoring guard Gill Reames became the first basketball player in JKA's history to score 1000 points in his high school career. Further honors were not long in coming for the talented Generals. In the first annual Generals Club Holiday Classic, the JKA Club again came away with first place honors. This time it was senior forward Rollie Reynolds who walked away with the MVP award. Reynolds and center Ted Marshall re- presented JKA on the classic's first all-tournament team. There were many secrets to the Generals' success this season. The team got off to a good start by electing two fine seniors, Rollie Reynolds and Lee Hutchins, as co- captains. These two provided excellent leadership through- out the season. The Generals worked hard at being winners. Their determination and desire to win were evident each time they took the court. JKA had it all! Their guards were quick, good shooters, and good ball handlers. Hutchins, Reames, and Johnny Carlton handled the back- court with skill and confidence. The forwards were rugged determined rebounders and ex- cellent scorers. Rollie Reynolds, Billy Grif- fin, and Tom Little led the group that also received excellent help from Tom Swift, Andy Mayer, and Mike Smith. JKA's big man, Ted Marshall, blocked shots, and consistently intimidated opponents with his tough-hardnosed brand of basketball. CONFERENCE CHAMPS But it was the team's ability to function as a unit that had to be the single most important element in its success. It never seemed to matter who the high scorer was, who won the trophies, or whose name was in the paper- just as long as the Generals won . . . and win they did. The J. K. A. squad also faired well in post season play. The Generals came away with top honors in the conference and represent- ed the conference well at the state tournament. The season finally ended for the blue and white in the state semi-finals. The final slate read nineteen wins and nine losses. It was a team JKA fans and supporters will not soon forget.

Anne Cushman captained JKA’s Lady Generals and provided the leadership necessary to any winning effort. The season started slowly for the Generalettes. Then our girls caught fire and rattled off seven consecutive vie tories and the FIGHTING FEMALES OF JKA were on their way. Sophomore sensation Karen Reynolds, and Fresh- man center Robin Oates provided the points; Cushman, Lou Ann Riggan, and Niki Beleos were the playmakers; Beth Lamar and Gwen Partin led the defense; Marsha Gale, Kim Fitzgerald, and Marla Cribb hauled down the rebounds; and V.V. Kornegay and Tracy Marshall provided the excitement as the Lady Generals skipped successfully through a tough schedule. Teamwork was the secret, hustle and desire were the methods, and fun along with victory were usually the fruits of the effort. Along with a long list of victories, the JKA girls captured the hearts of their fans, their school, and their coaches. Fans saw JKA basketball at its finest when the Lady Generals took the court. JKA's blue and white never looked better, was worn prouder, or was represented better. 76 Kneeling: Gwen Partin, Lou Ann Riggan, Anne Cushman (with basketball), Tracy Marshall, Niki Beleos, Mar- sha Gale, Standing: Coach James DeBruhl, Karen Rey- nolds, Marla Cribb, Beth Lamar, Robin Oates, V.V.

Each boy put his all-in-all into the team to make the 74-75 season a success- ful one. With wins and losses intermingled, the team played every game with pride for themselves and for J.K.A. This young team deserves apprecia tion and thanks for the performances they've dis- played this year; for they are our varsity athletes of tomorrow.

You've come a long way, Ladies! Our Little Ladies played in twelve games this year and won for J. K„ A, the first J.V. Girls' victory ever. The girls lost several heart- breaking games by only a few points. With the dedication of these twelve young ladies, the playing experience gained this year, and the enthusiastic coaching of Cnris Hunk- ier, the future looks bright for the J.V. Girls of J.K.A. Our LittIe LacHes 79 JuwioR VARSiTy Sou Ad The Junior Varsity cheerleaders began the 74-75 school year under the guidance of their new sponsor, Mrs. Karen Miller. The girls' voices were heard loud and clear at football games. The spectators' spirit was brought to a climax through their efforts to create enthusiasm. Under the leadership of Vir- ginia Ann Pitsenbarger, the girls contributed greatly to the success of the Generals. Marty Boykin. 81 We've Cot Spirit Winning teams, cheering students, and loyal friends, assisted the varsity cheerleading squad in promoting the exciting spirit of the 1974-75 school year. Under the leadership of their captain, Anne Cushman, and co-captain, Kay Watkins, the squad filled the J.K.A. atmosphere with the pep and enthusiasm never known be- fore. These eight girls had many new approaches towards boosting the spirit of the Generals this year. Among these were: pom pom routines, the spirit stick, a bon fire, skits, throwing little footballs and basketballs, and a Fifties pep rally. The squad was also very fortunate to have a male member join the scene. Rick Rush, J.K.A. ’s first male cheerleader, proved to be a very helpful addition during the year. The varsity cheerleaders sponsored the third annual Homecoming this year. It was an excellent example of how the girls pulled to- gether. With the help of their dependable man- ager, Angie Branham, the squad was able to take on any task. Saving the best for last, Mrs. Kay Pope made this fantastic year possible. She was their sponsor for the second year. Due to Dr. Williams' cooperation and will- ingness to welcome new ideas, the squad lead the students and the faculty through an overall terrific year! TKR HR5 82 J.K.A. Conference ChAivips The Generals opened their 1974 football campaign in Rock Hill against Catawba with lofty goals of a championship season. In ninety degree heat against a tough opponent, JKA successfully launched its season with a hard fought 18 to 7 victory. The opening victory was indicative of things to come. When the season was over the Generals had safely tucked away JKA's first conference title ever and was the proud owner of an excellent record of eight wins and only two losses. The JKA team was ranked as high as second in the state of South Carolina in some grid poles. There were numerous in- dividual accomplishments. Team captain John Sink caught eight touchdown passes, all de- livered by freshman quarter- back Tom Little. Mike Smith, senior linebacker, averaged over twelve tackles per game and established himself as one of the most outstanding defen- sive players in the South Caro- lina Independent School Athletic Association. Members of the ”44 club or players chosen as the JKA player of the week by the coaching staff were: A1 Da- vis, Mike Smith, William Brannon, John Sink, Ed Wat- kins, Johnny Carlton, Keith Godwin, Harry Kline, Terry Segars, and Borja Olano.

Carlton, a 125 pound scat back with the heart of a lion, climaxed an almost unbelievable season with a 38 yard touchdown run against 'Williamsburg Academy in JKA’s final game. The 38 yards enabled Carlton to be- come the first player in Joseph Kershaw Academy foot- ball history to rush for 1000 yards in a single season. The success story of the Generals 1974 Football season will be remembered always as one of the finest accomplishments in Joseph Kershaw Academy's sports history. The outstanding record will always be a living tribute to the twenty Generals who represented Joseph Kershaw Academy so courageously, and who wore the JKA Blue and White so proudly.

Out of a court of eleven glamorous girls, Anne Cushman was crowned Homecoming Queen and the title of Princess went to Niki Beleos. Representatives from the ninth through the twelfth grade were also announced. Rosemary Hard was chosen to represent the freshmen, Kim Fitzgerald the sophomores, Angie Bran- ham for the juniors, and Gretchen Watts the Seniors. Following the 28-8 victory, the students bopped at a sock hop held in the school gym. In the past decade, we have seen our dreams transformed into tangible reality. The past years are beautiful, each laden with joy, sorrow, hope, fear, and dedication. Every moment in these past ten years has made our Joseph Kershaw Acad- emy what it is today. Our first years are over. We are no long- er unsteady, and the past years are but the cornerstone of fu- ture dreams. This 1974-75 year was ac- tive, turbulent with youth, full of joy and sorrow, and the lit- tle things which make our school OUR school. This is the memory of that year, for it shall never come again. And we've only just begun. 91 HONORS 74 Many students were recognized at Com- mencement, 1974, for high achievements in academics, and athletics.

By her own example she instills in the minds of her students the importance of individuality, believing simply in being oneself. She is ded- icated to the education of the minds entrusted to her, teaching us always the importance of reason. She is the spirit of knowledge sur- rounded by young minds eager to know; the spirit of wisdom in a world where simple knowledge is not enough.

The Geoffrey L. Groat Cup is given to that faculty member who is deemed most deserving. The 1973-74 Senior Class awarded the Geoffrey L.

Tolkien's play, The Hobbit. Despite such flubs as dragon beeps, misplaced actors, and forgotten lines, the audience was transport- ed into the delightful make-believe world of dwarves, invisible rings, dragons, and trea- sures. This quest for the dragon's gold led Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, and the honorable dwarves on numerous adventures and perils through the magical world of Middle Earth. A fairy tale? But who can say that magic does not exist . . . 98 April 23, 1974 and May 28, 1974 In the spring, our pre- school embarked on the road to Broadway, per- forming the musical The Sound of Music. The acting was beautiful, and the poignant story held added charm when voiced by the young players. The costumes formed a magical array of color heightened by the vivid sets. It was a play that in some way re- warded all involved. The Tom Thumb Wedding was held later in the year, directed by Mrs. Rabon. The bride was Vonda Kay Thompson and the groom was Micheal Truesdale. Other members of the kindergarten and first grade made up the dignitaries present. It was a beautiful wedding on a little people's scale. tXsmSV vGJPKaV 6 y vO 99 v(® 5 v3 «©t sW 'vO 5Vv3 v� i WVo Skj i4SMG MAY 4, 1974 The day of the 1973-74 Jr. -Sr. dawned with the juniors still frantic over unfinished decorations and last minute calamities.

Proceeding to the gym, the couples were greeted by Sgt. Peppers, and Blue Meanies ushered them into the mystical world Of Pepperland and Yellow Submarine. The dance floor was enveloped by brilliant streamers cascading down from the ceiling. Colorfully painted figures of the Beatles and Yellow Submarines completed the atmosphere. The couples danced to the music of Merging Traffic.
