ver 300 men of the City College Class of 1963 gathered at Martins West in Baltimore, April , to celebrate their 50th anniversary re-union. Class mates came from as far away as Australia and California to renew their acquaintances and to hear about the institution that helped mold them into the men they became. The celebration was chaired by Ivan Pressman and Bruce Kahn. Mike Olesker served as emcee for the event and Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger provided a few words of remembrance. Attending the celebration Cindy Harkum, principal were various instructors and graduate of City and athletic coaches Curtland Little, George Fuller, Ed Strickland College during the 1960-63 period, including Jerry Phipps City’s championship basketball coach, Joe Brune, City’s lacrosse coach and Ed Novak, the swimming team coach.
