Camden High School — Class of 1926
In the spring of 2008 Henry Goldstein, a graduate of Camden High School's Class of 1954, contacted me about the high school year book of his father, Morris Goldstein, a lifelong resident of Camden city and Camden County. He was kind enough to donate the yearbook and also an 1953 Camden High School yearbook, which will be reproduced on this website in their entirety.
This 1926 Camden High School Yearbook belonged to 1926 graduate Morris Goldstein (p.57), 1906–1999. Morris was a varsity letterman (p.107, front row, 3rd from right). His friend Benjamin Asbell, who later became a prominent Camden attorney, is seated front row right. Morris, known all his life as “Mush,” was captain of the CHS track team in his senior year. He lived in the city of Camden from birth until 1972, and resided in Camden County until his death in 1999.
He married Evelyn Bilkis in 1936. They were married for 59 years, until her death in 1995. Together, they had three children:
Henry Goldstein: Camden High School, 1954; New York University. B.A. 1958; Ph.D. University of Iowa, 1962. Currently retired and living in Dubuque, IA.
Martin (1943–present): Woodrow Wilson High, 1962; Rutgers Camden B.A. 1966; M.D. University of Montreal 1983. Currently practicing medicine in Montreal, Canada.
Dorothy (1949–2007): Woodrow Wilson High, 1967; R.N.
This yearbook is donated in loving memory of Morris Goldstein by his son, Henry, June 08
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. As time goes by, I will be adding pictures, news articles, and other material about Camden High School.

The Purple and Gold
Foreword
Realizing the satisfaction that pleasant memories bring, we, the members of the Purple and Gold Committee of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-six, issue this book with the hope that it may be a constant reminder of our Alma Mater, of the happy years spent within her walls, and of the companionships which must soon be broken. May it be a never-failing source of enjoyment which will increase in years to come when memory alone is the only connecting link with the past. Justly proud of our class, we dedicate this book as a permanent record of is accomplishments.

President's Message to the Graduating Class
DEAR CLASSMATES:
It does not seem possible that we have spent four years in Camden High School and that now the time has come for us to leave. So interesting and delightful has been our stay here that the years have passed swiftly—so swiftly that we can scarcely realize that we are now standing at the end, casting a loving glance backward. A sadness creeps into our hearts when we think of breaking off with all these dear associations. We are loath to sever the ties that for four years have bound us to our Alma Mater.
Though it all has been very dear to us, yet the time has come when we must enter the larger world for which we have been preparing. We shall encounter many difficulties that will require perseverance to overcome. But we shall be brave, trusting in the thought that we are fortified to meet whatever comes. The lessons of courage, industry and truth, learned within the walls of our Alma Mater, will be our help, our guide, our inspiration.
May we all in future years remember the debt we owe to our beloved Alma Mater! Whether we enter the business life at once or continue our education in a higher institution of learning, may we ever keep in mind a loving memory of our companions here and all these cherished associations! May it be our greatest desire to do honor to the name of Camden High School and the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-six!
SAMUEL GODFREY,
President.

NORMAN ANDERSEN
1240 North Twenty-sixth Street Washington School
Technical Course
Norm is a beau of the '26 class,
He's very good-looking and tall;
He is also a star in a basketball game,
For he's sure to connect with the ball.
A very popular member of our class is Norman Andersen. He is quite a French student, so don't be surprised if you pick up the paper some evening and see that there is an item in large type which reads "Norman Andersen appointed Ambassador to France." Norm is quite a star at basketball, as any one who has ever played against him will tell you. By the way, have you ever seen Norman without the smile that he continually wears?

You say your favorite college is dear old Penn,
You doubtless are acquainted with some collegiate men;
If you've any secrets you'd like to keep so tight,
Don't indulge in talking in the middle of the night.
Who does not envy our fair Norma? She has beauty, style, and a very dangerous charm. She's just the kind of girl we like to have for a friend. She is a sight not to be missed if you would know what is the latest style. Would that there were more seniors as dignified as Norma. She is rather quiet and reserved; but when she smiles she has the most adorable dimples.

EVELYN VIRGINIA BEITH
546 Vine Street Junior School No. 1
General Course
We're ready with a secret now—
You may be interested to know:
Her pretty ways and merry laugh
Have won her still another beau.
Evelyn is one of the few girls who have been able to keep away from the relentless scissors of the barber. We hope she will always keep away, too. Have you ever heard of her wonderful estimating? Well, you certainly have missed something. She has quite a vocabulary, too. Evelyn is very dignified and reserved at times, but you should hear her laugh and see her blush. As she has decided to become a nurse, we are sure she will be a success.

O lady fair, with eyes of blue,
Come tell us, when your day is through,
About the hours you often spend
In happy times that too soon end.
The morning after the night before we all listen eagerly to Minnie's tales of parties and dances. Lessons then lose their flavor as we vision bright lights, fascinating music, and gay couples. And then—back to bookkeeping and shorthand! Minnie's bright chatter and dancing eyes will always be remembered by her associates.

Here's to Billie, a friend indeed,
Who's always ready to help in need.
What will the orchestra do next year?
They'll miss our Billie, don't you fear?
Whatever would the musical department do without the aid of Billie? Whenever there is work to be done, she is right on hand, with a ready smile, to give all the assistance possible. Billie seems to have a convincing way with the Faculty. How does she do it?

Our Blooming Minnie
Laughs a great deal,
As on down the hall
She clicks a "mean heel."
Did you ever hear Minnie laugh? If you didn't, just ask her about St. Peter. Nothing ever seems to disturb Minnie. A cheerful air hovers over her, and is proclaimed before and after her appearance by the clicking of her high heels. May you always be happy and gay, Minnie. By the way, have you ever noticed Minnie's pretty, big brown eyes?

OLIVE EVELYN BREWER
3622 Westfield Avenue Cramer School
General Course
A spot of color here,
A touch of color there,
Makes a piece of cardboard
A masterpiece most rare.
Olive is our class artist, and we all know that she is very deserving of the title. She is one of the most faithful members of the Art Club, and no matter when you go into the drawing rooms, you always see her there. We often wonder if the Art Club sale could have been a success without her. She is very good-natured and is always willing to help any one. Turn to the page of silhouettes now, please.

HERBERT D. BROWN
559 Ferry Avenue Mickle School
Academic Course
Herb, it is said,
Is a very shy boy;
But in his music
He takes great joy.
Here is our future Mischa Elman, or is it Jascha Heifetz, Herb? Anyway, he is going to be a great violinist. By the way, what are you going to be? We've been told that you were intending to be a pharmacist and run a soda fountain, and now it seems that you want to make a living by your bow and arrow—oh, we mean your bow and violin. Seriously, though, Herb has been a good student, and we wouldn't be surprised if Camden High is some day proud of him.
Brownie
PERCY COLEMAN
513 North Tenth Street Kulpsville, Pa.
Technical Course
He's not very tall,
And he's not very stout;
But every one knows
He's a mighty good scout.
Percy Coleman is different from most of the boys in this school because he is a lover of Physics. He takes a very active part in the Technical Science Club and helped make the demonstration of the club a success on Open Night. This boy is also one of the best-natured boys in the class, and we are sure he is liked by every one.

SAMUEL A. COMFORT
1426 Belleview Avenue Junior School No. 1
General Course
Sam's the one we've called our baby.
Is this true? We might say maybe;
But stop and think of all he's done—
His race to manhood he has won.
After having Sam as a member of the orchestra for four years, we don't know what it will do without him. Every one knows Sam and his violin. They are inseparable. Sam is one of the youngest in the class (see Who's Who for February). Rumor has it that he's a "champeen" marble player. Seriously, Sam is a fine chap and has been a great credit to his Alma Mater.

1326 Atlantic Avenue Junior School No. 1
Commercial Course
Oh, Clara dear, what shall I do,
When you are far away?
I hate to think of keeping books
Without your help, I'll say.
A very good student is this young lady. If you are in doubt as to the solution of some bookkeeping problem, Clara will help you straighten it out. That's where her big-heartedness comes in. She is always willing to help some one in trouble.

IONA SCHROEDER DENNY
736 Market Street Junior School No. 1

If you want an exhibition
Of the latest dancing step,
Just look at our Iona—
She can show you, with much pep.
Have you ever seen Iona perform on the "light, fantastic toe" in Gym classes or exhibition stunts? Well, don't miss it! We hear, also, that she is second only to the real, bred-in-the-bone mermaids when it comes to displaying fine form and speed in swimming. This report comes from certain of our South Jersey summer resorts.

ABBIE B. DOLE
810 Elm Street Junior School No. 1
Commercial Course
Tall and fair, with deep, blue eyes,
Sometimes twinkling, sometimes wise;
Always friendly, ever true,
This is Gabbie—success to you!
Gabbie has been so nicknamed because of her propensity for talking. By the way, she is quite a singer and has been one of the leading supports of the Girls' Glee. She is a very good typist, too, and no doubt will be secretary to a high and mighty official some day. Besides doing her school work creditably, Gabbie has successfully carried on outside business activities, so we think she's most ambitious and industrious.

KATHRYN FISLER DOOLING
535 North Seventh Street Junior School No. 1
General Course
There is a dear Kitty named Dooling,
Who's been with us all through our schooling;
Whene'er there is fun
You can bet she's the one
Upsetting us all by her fooling.
It is an almost impossible thing to go to a party or dance without seeing Kitty, for she always has a standing invitation. How do we account for this? Well, very easily, for she has a winning way which suggests just the sort of a jolly figure she would make at every such occasion. Every one will be sorry when she no longer frequents the class rooms and social affairs. She likes school so well that we surmise serious intentions of her joining the teachers' brigade, unless, well—perhaps!

CHARLES L. FELDMAN
16 West Harvey Avenue, Merchantville Collins Tract School
Academic Course
Chaley is a baseball fan,
Who knows the game so well,
That if a play's not run just right
The right way he can tell.
Chaley's ambition is to play in the big leagues. He plays with the Pensauken Pirates just now, but wait until Connie Mack comes scouting around. Yes, just wait! Baseball is not the only game he plays. He can put twin-pointers into the basket like Jimmy Campbell. Those long fancy shots that make rooters gasp and then applaud are easy for Chaley. Furthermore, he certainly does "know his stuff" in Chemistry. He likes to handle carbolic acid and such things. Let's hope that he doesn't get terribly thirsty some time while he is carrying it around.

RICHARD KEMP FISHER
225 South Sixth Street Junior School No. 1
Academic Course
Richard Fisher has a flivver,
Which is called the Shenandoah;
And it looks like that famed boat
Which they say was built by Noah.
"That is something no fellow can ever find out," said Dick Fisher in the prelims. We wonder if he has found out yet why he was elected the Class Romeo, but we are sure that he obtained this title without much opposition. His favorite pastime is to drive his Ford, which is commonly known as the Shenandoah. Every one likes Dick for his fine character and pleasing manner.

ANNA MARIE FOX
1456 Princess Avenue Junior School No. 1

Her gifts are fine and many,
We envy her, indeed;
In looks and brains and sports
She surely takes the lead.
Anne is some little bit of joy. Her enthusiasm just bubbles over, and puts all her friends in the same frame of mind. She is very much interested in sports and makes a fine basketball manager. She certainly can give speeches in the Girls' A. A. meetings. Despite outside activities, we're glad to say that Anne excels in studies, and even Physics or Latin doesn't seem to bother her much. We will all remember Anne as jolly and care-free.

We envy Linkie's nice blond hair,
We envy him his friends so fair;
When he becomes a great physician
We'll envy him for his ambition.
Linkie was evidently named after the Great Emancipator. Perhaps he'll justify the name by becoming President some day. Who knows? If he's as successful in politics as he is with certain individuals that wear dresses, we're ready to back him now. However that may be, his present ambition is to be able to write "M.D." after his name.

Lively and snappy,
Laughing and gay,
May you be happy
O'er life's long way!
Erma is a happy, lively girl. You are always sure to hear something witty from her. She certainly has a long train of friends. And say—can't she play the piano! Erma's only worry in life is Physics. You're always sure to hear her say, "I wonder what I got in Physics." With your jolly ways, Erma, we are sure you'll make a very fine teacher, and we envy your future pupils the pleasure of having your company all day.

PEARL T. GOFTII [?]
1378 Haddon Avenue Junior School No. 1
Academic Course
Pearl, we think your wavy hair
Is beautiful beyond compare;
Would that Nature had given us,
Curly hair that requires no fuss!
"Say, kid, do you know how to do these Physics problems?" queries Pearl in a worried tone. Foolish question, Pearl, for we don't know any more about them than you do. But don't be so gloomy! Why worry about a mere bagatelle like Physics, when you are such a violinist? Pearl has been a loyal member of the school orchestra during her C. H. S. career, and we've enjoyed her playing on many occasions.

When Egs comes tripping down the hall
The girls are filled with joy—
And there's a reason for this, too,
For he's our handsomest boy.
Nothing ever seems to worry Egs. He always has his cheery smile, no matter what happens. He has quite a way with the ladies, too, but we can't blame the girls who are attracted by him. Who wouldn't want to be friendly with him, with his happy-go-lucky air and his humorous sayings? Egs should make a good traffic cop because of the practice he has had on the Student Government. Moreover, one look at Egs' beauty is sure to stop all traffic. And say—look at all his activities!

Abe studies very faithfully,
He does his work with joy,
And well deserves the title
Of our Class Honor Boy.
Have you ever seen Abe worried about his lessons? Well, it would be a shocking surprise if he failed to get anything below an "A" in any subject. Latin and Physics are easy for him, and it would take a couple of broken arms to stop him from getting a high mark in his written tests. Well, Abe, you've got a wonderful start, and you're bound to make a great name for yourself.

Says our Grant to you.
Your reply should be:
"Tres bien, oui, oui."
Gaze upon this flaxen-haired exponent of the gentle art of pounding the ivory keys. In fact, he is a musician of notes. Besides being a music class accompanist, he plays the part of Leopold Stokowski for the orchestra. Did you ever hear him play clawsical music with that grawnd air of his? If you haven't, you've certainly missed something. But he is not only a musician of notes; he is also a scholar worth marking (so the teachers say), for witness his presence on the honor roll. You ought to hear him speak French. He does it so rapidly that even a Parisian could not follow him.

Then she makes a 100-yard dash for the locker-room. In spite of this trait we find her a most willing worker in class activities and organizations.

He is a great believer in the saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

Helen, we all from you might learn
That secret of kindness, and return
Your gracious, gentle, helpful ways;
They've surely brightened all our days.
Helen is the most conscientious girl in our class and if she is given a task she will finish it to the best of her ability. No matter how pressed or busy she may be, Helen always has time to answer questions and help her friends, making them marvel at her patience and kindness. We think one of her nicest characteristics is that she never says unkind things about others—at least we have never heard her.

A conscientious maiden;
We're sure that when she leaves our halls,
With facts and dates she's laden.
Sarah has always been a veritable fount of knowledge for us whenever we were worried over a history test. How she can remember dates! It certainly was a relief to have Sarah seated near us in a history class. I'll wager her pupils (Sarah is going to be a teacher) will have a thorough understanding of that deep and tricky subject. Good luck, Sarah! May you be as loyal a teacher as you have been a '26!

His energy ne'er seemed to stop;
When he becomes an engineer,
His name throughout the world we'll hear.
Meyer's presence will be greatly missed by all the students, and especially from the drawing and shop work classes, for his work has been finely directed toward mechanical lines. The fellows of the technical classes have always had good times and Meyer has shared many a jolly hour in their midst, always supplying a good addition to the jollity. Some day we are sure he will make his mark in the engineering world.

Bennie likes to flirt with girls,
Those with bobs, or those with curls;
When he sees a girl go by,
He starts right in to wink an eye.
This boy is an ever bubbling fountain of fun and joy wherever he goes. He is one of those persons who can make friends with anyone on first acquaintance. Bennie is a ladies' man from the soles of his feet to the top of his sleek-haired head. He surely must have a way with him. He's been known to speak to a girl whom he has merely seen twice and then an animated and extremely friendly conversation started. How do you do it, Ben? But he's no mere young-man-about-town; he is a business man of ability. He will assuredly be one of our future newspaper magnates, eh, Ben?

With modesty befitting;
She's not like restless maids
Who here and there are flitting.
Rose is noted for one thing that is rare among girls. She is never noisy. She is quiet and unassuming, but people of her sort are very often the most capable. It is true in this instance. Lucky the man who employs Rose as his stenographer. Rose has other interests besides those concerned with her studies. You should see her do the broad jump. She is a good sport and a good friend. We may rest assured that she will ably fill her niche in life.

We hear that one of Ethel's teachers has nicknamed her "Noisy" and that is quite apropos, for she does voice her opinions in no uncertain tone. We all like Ethel though, because she's good-natured and "Hail-fellow-well-met." Ethel is going to Normal School, but it seems that boarding there holds no charms for her because the campus is inaccessible to certain friends.

When the deep bass voice of Daniel Smith
From the D block does resound,
We cannot move, we cannot breathe,

We often wonder what would become of the bass section if it were not for Dan Smith. Probably we would only sing three-part choruses. Dan is our class jester, and is certainly deserving of that name, for he always knows some funny tricks or jokes. He is also a good football player and was faithful in daily practice with the scrubs. We remember, too, what he did in the drop-kicking contest. And above all, we know that he loves to memorize poetry!

It is almost an impossible task to keep tabs on Ernest, for he is with us one day and home the next. He has served a good term in the Student Government Organization and although he always became confused over names on the roll call, our jests never riled him, for he is a happy-go-lucky fellow whom everyone likes.

By the way, we heard that she received "A" in her Physics examination and certainly anyone who can do that deserves our great respect. For her future Alma Mater, Edith has chosen U. of P.

As all the A. A. boys attest.
Bill, as he is called by his friends (one girl included), is very popular around C. H. S. This can be seen by the many activities in which he participates. Did you ever see Bill act in "Charley's Aunt?" We think he would make a future John Barrymore. However, Bill excels in other things, namely, kidding girls, and doing physics. He is also secretary of the Boys' A. A. and is one of the best secretaries that the association has had. Bill wrote good stuff and has turned out some good editorials for the Record.

Always combed with utmost care.
A lover of sports and social affairs
Is what gives Johnnie irresistible airs.
Whenever you want to obtain any information about the school teams, the Athletics, or the Metropolitan League ask John, for he is acquainted with all sports from A to Z. In fact, he is quite a basketball artist himself. However, John's mind functions on other things, also. He gets by in his lessons, he says the right thing, and he holds his own among the girls.

Beau is a big, rugged fellow who, during his short stay at Camden High, has made many friends because of his fine wholesome outlook on life, and his pleasant personality. Since he came to us from Haverford High, we think that institution of learning must turn out A-1 folks.

Quiet and gentle with mannerly ways,
We hope you'll be lucky the rest of your days.
Isabella is so gentle, quiet, and unassuming that we think the adjective "demure" might be applied to her. She has a low voice and answers the teachers' questions in a very pleasing, well-modulated tone. We hear that Isabella expects to become a teacher, and since she has ever striven to do her best in High School, we know she'll make a good schoolmistress.

We are sure that Burton would make a good debater, or lawyer, but he seems to be inclined toward high finance. He is aiming towards an expert accountancy, and after that will be president of some big bank. Burt's had plenty of business experience, so we feel sure he will realize his aspirations.

Walter is one of the best known and most reliable members of our class, and everyone seems to take advantage of this fact. He always has something to do—helping the Classical Club, writing exchanges, singing, serving on committees, or looking for red-haired girls. We'll never forget his singing of "Dream Girl" on School Night. He's grown so used to answering to that appellation that he had some idea of giving it as his nickname.

But although she appears very serious, she often amazes us with her mischievous and witty remarks or some startling sketches, illustrating our lessons. Olaf Trygvasson and Phaeton driving the chariot of the sun are her masterpieces. But, whisper it, Alice doesn't like to study. She only does it because of the urgings of her conscience.

He arouses your fears,
For he's bound for the wide open spaces.
If anyone hasn't heard one of Roll's jokes, he has surely missed something. Roll is a tear-chaser, if there ever was one. He is assisted by a flashy Buick roadster of late design (1916), in which he rounds corners at a mad clip. Aside from these attractions, he has a clever knack of writing verses and stories. And he's a good-lookin' guy, too, with a takin' way about him.

For little receipts from Walt's black book.
Walt's the fellow who takes our cash. He scribbles on a bit of paper and exchanges it for our dough. Otherwise he's a fine chap, and is known to be a reliable, dependable person with a quiet charm. He is quite a director of note; each time a play comes along, Walt may be seen directing the shifting and arranging of scenery. But with his good-looking face we think he would do much better before the audience, instead of behind the scenes. Among his hobbies electricity and athletics appeal to him most.

Sam's just the finest chap we know,
He plays a good, clean game;
Great honor for our school he's won,
And for himself, great fame.
From the first day Sam entered C. H. S. he lost no time in securing a place in the hearts of his classmates. His popularity was shown in the fact that he was our unanimous choice for Class President. We know there was never a better President than Sam has been. Many pages could be written about his brilliant athletic ability on the gridiron, court, and diamond. He made a name for himself in the Junior plays, too. And last of all, his fine disposition and clean-cut, manly qualities—oh, well, you know Sam!

And with its aid he will go far;
And maybe at some future date
He'll sell us all some real estate.
Bill is undoubtedly the luckiest member of the class. The "breaks of the game" are always with him in anything he undertakes. We will never forget the time he was napping and was called upon to define fog. He is always industrious and we wish him the best of luck in future life.

Just step up and call him speedy,
Even tho' it's not his name;
For it is by running swiftly,
That he's always gained his fame.
Speaking of Nurmi, C. H. S. has one in Mush. He travels over the cinders at a pace too swift for even Spark Plug. Mush has been the mainstay for the past two years of our track team, and it will be a severe loss when he graduates. Mush does not leave his speed on the track as the ordinary sprinter, but carries it in his conversation. Anyone who listens to him talk has a difficulty to keep up with his rapid charge of words.

Lillian is an all-around girl, we must admit. In tennis she places everyone in the background, while in hockey she is equally proficient. Besides being so athletic she also loves to dance, and maybe she isn't jazzy in this line! Lillian is one of the most vivacious members of our class, bestowing upon all her friends the smile for which she is famous. In all she does, there is her usual characteristic vim and energy.

We surely do feel sort of fine
To know that Tony's on the job,
For Tony's going through that line.
During the war there was a song, "When Tony Goes Over the Top," but at Camden High this song is, "When Tony Goes Through the Line." There is no doubt that Tony is the best line plunger ever produced at Camden High, and his work while captain of the 1925 team will always be remembered. Tony is also an adept basketball player. He is quite earnest and conscientious in all he does, and surely we will hear from him again while he is at college. Good boy, is this fellow Tony!

In all of her work she ranks with the best,
She's never been known to flunk in a test;
She's faithful and happy, this fine little maid,
Of life's hardest task she'll not be afraid.
Edna excels in all her studies and has always been quite a model to follow, if one desires to get excellent marks. Edna is a "whiz" in Latin and hopes to specialize in it. Now that is excellent proof, at least for the Latin students, of Edna's active brain. Although she is studiously inclined, we will all vouch for it that Edna has proven a jolly, interesting friend and companion.

This fellow is editor of the Record and needless to say has considerable ability. Few students can dash off a theme and receive an A as Paul does. It takes brains to be honor boy, and Paul has 'em. Besides being a good student, he is a prominent and popular member of the class. Look at his work in the plays. We feel sure that in college and in law his ability will surely bring him success.

Charley doesn't go about blowing his own horn, but he is one of the kind that doesn't have to. He sets out in any line of work, slowly, steadily, and surely—and the first thing we know, he has beaten us to it. Charley is going to take up drafting as a starter for his life-work, and we feel sure he'll be a "whiz" at it, because he is very adept in this sort of thing.

There are two outstanding reasons why Armond is so well liked among the fellows. They are his never-failing good nature and his ready wit. Besides his great popularity, Armond enjoys the distinction of being called more brutal names than anyone else in the school. The most familiar are "Elmo," "Iron Man," "Muscle Shoals," "Powerful," "Muscle-bound," and "Rugged," not to mention a score of others. Armond takes it all in good part and has a witty remark or joke to tell in return. Armond is also a fine commercial student.

That the teacher decides it wasn't a sin.
Were you ever sitting in class when you heard a great outburst of laughter quickly smothered into snickers? Benny or Lox, as he is often called, is the offender in such a case. He is a true disciple of joviality. What he lacks in size is made up for dozens of times by his mirth. He usually bubbles over with good nature.

Who is that little fellow running so fast? Why, that's our Joe! Joe, in spite of his diminutive proportions, is surely a runner. When Joe tears down the track we wonder how a little fellow could run so fast. But he doesn't always run; when he's not pounding the cinders he takes things easy at the wheel of his big sedan.

Lou doesn't go about making himself officious by shoving into the front. He just sits back doing his work faithfully and enjoying life.

A public-speaking star is Jake,
His laurels he did justly take;
He has a fine convincing way,
He'll make his mark one future day.
Jake excels in Latin and physics and can do both equally well. He is an orator of ability. You remember the Senior debate. If he keeps on as he has begun, his fame will outshine Patrick Henry's or Edmund Burke's. Jake is a very industrious boy, in school and out.

Familiar Faces
Class History
That we were an unusual class was evident from the first. We were not overcome by the customary awe so common to new arrivals, but we regarded our entrance into Camden High School as something to which our new Alma Mater had been looking forward to for some time. Our immediate predecessors, the Twenty-fives, had hoped to gain some sport at the expense of the newcomers, but they soon discovered that the supposedly green ones were more than capable of taking care of themselves. Of the upper classmen we saw little—their hours having been arranged differently from ours. Because of this we were not constantly reminded of our lowly status and so we were free from that humble appearance characteristic of the ones who had gone before us. Again I repeat that we were a most extraordinary class.
Our first year at Camden High School passed quicker than was desired. Though a Freshman occupies but a humble position in this world, yet we enjoyed privileges which were the envy of those above us. While the upper classmen were fuming and fretting through long hours of examinations, we took life easily, not mindful of the days when we would no longer be immune.
Of our becoming Sophomores, little can be said. It was not accompanied by pomp or ceremony. Our rosters took a change for the better, we were becoming acquainted with the various associates who made up our school life, members of our class were trying out for the teams—in every way we were showing signs of becoming one of the greatest classes that ever went out from Camden High School. In this manner did we strive forward to our Junior year.
Our term as Juniors was of more importance than we realized at the time. It was then that newcomers from an outlying school joined our ranks. Some of our fellow classmen had followed the primrose path and awoke to find themselves in a different class; others had been transferred to different schools.
Then came elections. It befell that our choice of class president went to Sam Godfrey, that of vice-president was the good fortune of Ruth Van Hekle, while our desire for class secretary was Dorothy Hewett. Carl Dellmuth was presented with the honor of being the keeper of the class treasury. The school in general decided that our taste in class officers was a most satisfactory one.
Our first important part in the school life of Camden High came about this time. This was the Christmas play. All our John Barrymores and Mary Pickfords were given a chance to show what they could do. The play was such a good one that it was the unanimous opinion that our class possessed unusual dramatic talent.
In the spring we had our first affair, the Junior party. When we entered the gym, we hardly recognized it, it was so different. The dancing was excellent, the music fine, and the refreshments "hit the spot" with unerring accuracy.
The spring also brought our Junior play. If anyone missed seeing "Charley's Aunt" as presented by the Class of '26, he certainly missed a treat. It was simply great! The people laughed so heartily that the seats creaked and groaned. Frank Landolt, as Charley's Aunt, was a scream.
In June we helped the '25's have a good commencement by singing in the chorus. The day after commencement we awoke to the fact that we were full-fledged Seniors.
Then when the fall of 1925 came, we assumed the leadership of the school. Various '26's took their places as presidents of the different clubs. Russell Eaton became president of the Student Government Organization. Paul Hatch took up his duties as editor-in-chief of the Record; Allen Mickel was selected as business manager. James Baylie and Gertrude Powell were elected as presidents of the Boys' A. A. and Girls' A. A., respectively.
At our first class meeting our officers were unanimously re-elected with the exception of Carl Dellmuth, who was absent because of illness. Walter Diehl was unanimously chosen to succeed him.
With what pride do we recall the memorable football campaign of 1925! The climax of the season was reached in the famous victory over Atlantic City. We remember even yet that thrill of pride when the team, made up mainly of '26's, came out to do battle for the glory of Camden High.
In November the February section of the class held a debate. It was on the World Court. Under the able guidance of Miss Lord, the two teams prepared and delivered good papers. The girls (affirmative) won.
We had our Senior party in the fall. Under the chairmanship of Jack Ferren and with the aid of Miss Williams, the committee arranged an enjoyable evening. The gym was tastefully decorated and a genuine jazz band supplied the music. After the "eats," confetti was thrown about and dancing was once more in order. It was a most successful affair.
The day the Christmas play was given the '26's held up their end admirably. Thanks to the Song and Yell Committee we not only had original song words, but original tunes as well.
During this term two innovations were made known to us. First, that the regular examinations would give way to comprehensive tests, with no exemptions, with regular class work going on as before. Second, that thereafter there might be a February commencement. The '26 February class was given a choice and they wisely chose to hold their commencement separately.
This commencement was held on January 28th in the evening. It was a brilliant, well-attended affair and a fitting inauguration of mid-year commencements. The class itself is worthy of mention. Out of a class of 80, 12 were honor students with Lillian Lewis and Abraham Greenberg as recipients of highest honors.
In the month of March we held two of our functions. The first was a debate on United States Mine Control. A team of girls opposed a team of boys. The boys (the negative) won. The second was the dinner-dance held at the Walt Whitman Hotel. It was the last social affair of the class. The big ball-room of the hotel was fittingly decorated, the dinner was excellent, a great many were present and a "good time was had by all."
Soon after this, announcement was made of Senior honors. Dorothy Cline and Paul Hatch received highest honors.
The '26's contributed to the '27's Junior play by working on the committee and by making up a goodly portion of the audience at the two performances.
After the ten weeks' reports were handed out, one could readily see in the actions and words of the '26's that they realized keenly how close was the time for their departure from Camden High. Some looked "blithe and debonair." Others looked sad and depressed. All knew that their days as students of Camden High were numbered.
It was with a deep feeling of regret that we watched the weeks glide by and commencement time draw near. But though we have now graduated, there is still something to look forward to. They say that history repeats itself. We are sure we can wish no class anything better than to repeat the history of the '26's. Let us watch and wait and we will see the old familiar years repeated in the actions of some future class of Camden High. But meantime we can be taking our places in the world courageously, always remembering that
"There is a destiny that makes us brothers:
None goes his way alone:
All that we send into the lives of others
Comes back into our own."
Abraham Greenberg
Harold Schultz
Last Will and Testament of the 1926 Class
TO WHOM IT CONCERNETH:
Be it known unto all men that the class of NINETEEN TWENTY-SIX, realizing its days are numbered and having been pronounced sane by four alienists and insane by only three, does hereby make and draw up this, its last will and testament and declares null and void any previously existing document or spoken wishes.
It is our express command and desire that our possessions be received with gratitude and proper respect.
In view of these facts, we bequeath the following:
First: Our sincere affection and gratitude and greatest respect to Miss Burrough for her advice and help during our four years in Camden High School.
Second: We wish to extend our thanks to Miss Williams for her sponsorship of our class and express the hope that this book may be worthy of dedication to her.
Third: To Mrs. Bates, our deep appreciation for her unceasing efforts and invaluable aid in making this book possible.
Fourth: Our indebtedness to Miss Wilson for her work with our class in musical and dramatic activities.
Fifth: Upon the Faculty we wish to bestow all our wild guesses and original ideas which made marking our test papers such a delight.
Sixth: We leave some of Frank Landolt's cheer leading ability to Charley Eichel. His blushes we bestow upon any pale young lady who does not know of a good brand of war-paint.
Seventh: We give to Spare Ribs our love and hold him up as a model of school spirit.
Eighth: Our Senior dignity and our cherished (?) books, we leave to the 1927 class. May they handle them with due reverence!
Ninth: Being generously disposed, we reserve for every girl of the 1927 class a large portion of Ruth Van Hekle's charm, tact, sympathy, and popularity. We're sure there is more than enough to go around.
Tenth: Russell Eaton's good nature and executive ability we bestow upon the next president of the Student Government.
Eleventh: To our future pianists, we give some of Margaret Riggs' talent.
Twelfth: Paul Hatch's dignity we leave to the 1927 boy who aspires to be a judge (or anything else equally impressive).
Thirteenth: Tony Gricco's athletic prowess we bequeath to Mitchell Mozeleski with the wish that he repeat our victory over Atlantic City and win the championship.
Fourteenth: To the "rookies" goes our forgiveness for all the times they pushed us and stepped on our feet. We exhort them to study diligently and cease from ringing the fire bells, and desire that they may increase in wisdom and stature, particularly stature.
Fifteenth: We pass on to the 1927 Purple and Gold Committee the memory of our struggles in getting ads, selling cake, collecting money, pictures, cuts, write-ups, rhymes, activity slips, faculty picture, and those glorious but fleeting dreams of a Charleston contest. We add sincere wishes for their success.
Last, but dearest to us, our places in Camden High School in the auditorium, in classrooms, school activities and teachers' interest, we leave to those who follow. When the halls of Camden High School resound no longer to our voices and our successors have taken our places, we trust they will have the same pleasant associations, friendships, and memories that the 1926 class have had.
All other property and talents undisposed of we leave to Mr. Fox to be used as he sees fit.
And we do hereby constitute and appoint Mr. Mitchell Mozeleski sole executor of this our last will and testament.
In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our name and affixed our seal, this twenty-fifth day of June, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six.
