On a chilly morning in February of 1951, a new group of students walked up the icy path to the large Gothic building which was to become their institution of leaming for three years. As a group, these students were unor- ganized until their junior year when Lanny Rubin was elected president, Ron- ald Walker, vice-president, Bob Siegel, secretary, David Miller, treasurer, and Jerry Schnitzer, sergeant-at-arms. The class's first affair, the Cherry Hop, which occurred in February of 1953, proved to be one of the most successful dances in the school's history. Again it was time for elections, and the president and secretary were re-elected. The offices of vice-president, treasurer, and sergeant-at-arrns were filled by Frank Fisher, Bernard Thomas, and Ben Woel- per respectively. After the election, the class took a short vacation from social activities until the Auturrm Hop in Octo- ber of 1953. This was followed by the record-breaking Victory Hop presented in co-operation with the June Seniors. The classis activities were not limited to social affairs alone. The Founders' Day Assembly, presented in October of '53, and the Pearl Harbor Memorial As- sembly, presented in December of '53, were again a credit to this fine class and were well received by the student body. Mr, Roberts, February '54-'s play, was given to packed houses on both nights, proving one of the most enjoyable productions seen by a City College audi- ence in many years. Three wonderful years at the Castle on the Hill were culminated by the Fare- well Assemblyg Musicale with Western High School, the Senior Prom at the Sher- aton Belvedere, which, despite all the other affairs, will probably stand foremost in the memories of the class, and the Commencement and Banquet on February 9, which marked the entrance of the Class of February, 1954, into the ranks of the alumni of the Baltimore City College. 24
