Dear Class of 1955 After forty-one and a half years of chronic ill- ness, peering over the edge of eternity seems like an adventure, COVID-19 has caused all of you to join me in my isolation.

Science confirms the things that are, Faith and science are not at war. What we know, we can see and touch. When we can’t faith helps so much. In every life, joy and sorrow interweave. To live through loss, we must believe That our loves won’t end in death. But live on in spritual health. If all accomplishments would disappear, Then why would God have put us here? u

We are certain that there were scores of deaths during the year which are not reported here - deaths in Omaha, Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, in all the cities where alumni live. We could do a much better job if we read the obituaries in our newspaper and clipped those which sounded familiar. Send them along with a note identifying the newspaper to The Campus Cub, c/o Jacob Lefkowitz, P.O. Box 31298, Houston, TX 77231. The situation can be corrected if classmates check obituaries in their local newspapers. If they see a name which rings a bell, clip it and mail it to us.
