it turned out to be a huge success. One of the main attractions of the evening was the novelty dance. Here the prize was copped by Godwin Meniru and his date. Another major fall event was the All-Tex- tile Formal. A large percentage of our class attended this affair, and our own Bill Gabriel and his date were crowned the King and Queen. Extra-curricular interest runs hi gh in our class as shown by its active participation in every athletic activity and club in the school. Our teams, basketball, baseball, soccer, and lacrosse, have all advanced with the advent of many able athletes from the Sophomore Class, who have donned the red and black of Textile and have led her teams to a multitude of victories. Our main objective is to succeed; but our eventual success will be brought about only by hard, conscientious work and by the effi- cient methods we are learning at the Institute. Our purpose at college is the development of our minds and attitudes to the extent that we shall be qualified to meet the responsibilities of the textile industry. It may seem to an outsider that this class is like any others that pass through the doors of Textile, but in the inside circles it is felt that the Class of 1954 contains students of high caliber that may be readily fabricated into the future textile executives of tomorrow. -f 7 Bock row: Uffner, Ettenson, tind, Scarborough, Oxer, Steinsapir, French, Baevsky.

As fiber goes to fabric, so goes the student through his various stages of development at Lowell Textile Institute. The Class of 1954, intent with purpose and familiar with its sur- roundings, is concentrating on the fulfillment of that purpose. Last year, as Freshmen, we groped about in this new experience called college. But in our second vear we have taken hold and many of our achievements have already been imprinted on college life at L.T.I. The growing sentiment that our school is going places has been in- stilled in us; and we feel that, as a class, we are helping ourselves by helping the school gain the recognition it deserves. We are proud to be associated with numer- ous material advancements such as our beau- tiful, new library; the spacious Paper and Leather Building; new administration, which includes the ambitious and conscientious ' Dean of Students; our national recognition and honor, particularlv our acknowledgment by the Engineers Council For Professional De- velopment; and the establishment of an Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps unit at L.T.I. Many sophomores may be seen trudg- ing around the school in the snappy blue uni- form of the Cadet Corps. Our class will have the distinction of sending out into the world the first officers to receive their commission from this school. The class elections were hody contested last year and after several close run-offs our class emerged with a fine group of officers, who have been carrying out their duties exceed- ingly well. During this election period, we once again found the halls of Textile strewn with posters depicting college life after said candidates were elected. When questioned about the beautiful girls on their posters, the officers promise their prompt arrival. So much red tape, you know. But in spite of the lack of a multitude of beautiful co-eds, the present officers have demonstrated their capabilities and have done much to enhance the reputation and contributions of the Class of 1954 to the school. One of the biggest events of the fall term was an L.T.I. - L.T.C. dance sponsored by our class under the capable auspices of Willy Grant and Steve Adler. Much enthusiasm was shown by the whole school for this dance, and Back row: Gottschalk, Manoila, Leventhal, Greenhall, Cryan, Berkowitz, Ducharme, Kimmell, Berman, Hamilton.
