Camden High School &mdash; 1923 Purple &amp; Gold Yearbook

Camden High School — Class of 1923

On March 3, 2009, Helene Tull donated a copy of Camden High School's 1923 yearbook, The Purple and the Gold, which had belonged to her aunt, Anna G. Laibow. The donation also included graduation photos of the class from that year and from 1920, when the students had graduated from the old Junior High School Number 1, located at Haddon and Newton Avenues, which was later renamed Clara S. Burrough Junior High School. The book is presented here in its entirety, with hyperlinks to pages within and outside of this website.

Camden High School has a long and distinguished history. Many of its graduates went on to careers in public service in the city, to success in business, sports, and in the arts.
