We Dedicate N -4 ' U RQ! 9 1 f .ir-Ti . 'n,1 . R s- J in Mr. Austermann enjoys February Senior Banquet with boys. The Class of June 1956 will always treasure its memories of Prof. Richard VV. Austermann be- cause of the close friendship that existed between them. As their class adviser and teacher, Mr. Austermann's sincerity and untiring efforts en- deared him to all who knew him. Because of his unselfish work for the class during the past two years, this senior year has ended a truly outstand- ing stay at City College. During the past 29 years literally thousands of other students and teachers have benefited from knowing Mr. Austermann here at City. His constant interest in science manifested itself not only in a unique physics course but also in the ' ' PROF. RICHARD VV. AUSTERMANN Born April 16, 1889 Died March 29, 1956 Radio and Astronomy-Physics Clubs which he ad- vised. The traditions of City College are not the result of a mere passing of time. Into them have gone the efforts of men such as Mr. Austermann - men willing to devote their lives to the edu- cation and betterment of others. The ideals that were so deeply a part of Mr. Austermann's character made him a truly out- standing person and teacher. VVe, the members of his graduating class, will carry on in the same noble devotion to duty that characterized his en- tire life.

u 2,1 ,fix In Memoriam . X Q ii DR. CHESTER H. KATENKAMP Born july 28, 1899 Died April 19, 1956 When a student or alumnus thinks of the Baltimore City College from 1948-1956, it is dif- ficult for him to distinguish his memories of the school from those of its beloved principal, the late Dr. Chester H. Katenkamp. His death on April 19, 1956, was a great loss and, at the same time, a tremendous shock to the student body and to all with whom he came into contact during his many years of service to education. Dr. Katenkamp was a man with a mission, to serve and extend education to the youth of Bal- timore and, in particular, to the students of the Baltimore City College, from which he himself graduated in 1915. He knew well the problems and desires of City's students and was always will- 1 U Dr, Katenkamp receives Class of june 1957 Award for out- standing service to City College from Dr. john H.

He was continually striving to extend education to the greatest number of students possible and, at the same time, to open broader educational hor- izons to the students of great ability. Besides being an outstanding educator, Dr. Katenkamp was distinguished as a civic leader, a promoter of interfaith, and a Mason. His life was a diamond with many facets, each reflecting the glory of his multitude of achievements and his dynamic personality. Because of Dr. Katenkamp's passing this way, the world and, especially, the Baltimore City College are much richer and better.
