One of our SMU high school 61-ners; and one among life’s winners, he will hold our SMU banner up high upstairs with God; he was a colonel on earth, but a sentinel he will be, in heaven, a sentry always on guard at the pearly gates to give us a free pass to God, and as we pass, we hope he will sound the revile to draw God’s attention to our cause and be servile to Him.
From all of us, your former classmates - SMHS Class of 1961

For Jose "Pito" Tugab:
One of our SMU high school 61-ners; and one among life’s winners, he will hold our SMU banner up high upstairs with God; he was a colonel on earth, but a sentinel he will be, in heaven, a sentry always on guard at the pearly gates to give us a free pass to God, and as we pass, we hope he will sound the revile to draw God’s attention to our cause and be servile to Him.
