FQR WQRD To present an accurate picture of school life in all of its many interesting phases has been our main incentive in editing this Purple and Gold. Four years of unforgettable memories have elapsed since first we entered Camden High School, four years during which we have striven to acquire applicable knowledge. In our endeavors along this course we have made ourselves more worthwhile citizens by gaining those intangible qualities of sportsmanship, comradeship, and idealism, all so necessary in building a firm foundation for future lives of achievement and success. In view of the fact that Walt Whitman, Cam- den's own poet, expressed ideals of an age not of his own, but of this, our era, we, the Iune Class of 1937, have chosen his ideals for our theme. When the carefree days of youth are no longer ours, the future will find us reliving once again the memorable experiences of high school life. Only then will we fully appreciate the instructive training received in this school and the value of Walt Whitman's ideals which we have embodied within this book. NELLIE IAMISON.

THAT shodow, my likeness thot goes to ond fro seeking or livelihood, chorttering, choffering, How often l find myself stonding and looking ot it Where it flits, How often I question ond doubt' Whether thot is reolly meg But otmong my lovers and coroling these songs, O l never doubt Whether that is reorlly me. WALT WHITMAN.
