Camden High School — January 1928 Yearbook
Early in March of 2009 I purchased the yearbook reproduced below on eBay from a seller in California. It had belonged to a girl named Fran Phillips… E. Frances Phillips to be exact… who had lived at 104 Parker Avenue in Woodlynne. Other than that I don't know anything about her at this time. 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. As time goes by, I will be adding pictures, news articles, and other material about Camden High School.
