CLASS OF ‘40 - ‘49
Zuhayr Annab ’42
lives in Jordan.
“I have passion and feelings for IC,” he
writes. “I’ve filled in my details at your
Alumni Address Book. Unfortunately I
found no trace of my classmates in that
book. I came across your website search-
ing the Internet.
One thing I still remember during my
last year, and that is the air raid during
WWII. After hearing the siren we were
asked to quickly move to the basement
of the building, and a few minutes later
heard the bombardment.
Also, I have great memories at IC, and
made friends with a number of students,
but unfortunately lost contact with
them.”
