The AQUINAS CLUB appears to have been a social club that existed in North Camden prior to World War I. As a guess, it likely consisted mostly or entirely of young Catholic men from the Holy Name parish, although there also were a few older members. The club apparently disbanded around 1915.

In June of 1939 a reunion was organized by Pasquale ‘Pat’ Iarossi, who then was operating a barber shop at North 3rd and Elm Street in North Camden. Of those former members who announced their intentions to attend, there were many who had become prominent in business, politics, or public service in Camden.
