A memorial service for Ray Lubway (A.B.'50, A.M.'57), retired teacher and former principal of the Laboratory Schools, will be held at 3 p.m. Friday, May 26, in Mandel Hall. Lubway died March 19 at his home in Lake in the Hills, Ill. He was 68.

Levi Distinguished Service Professor in the Law School; Robert Ashenhurst, Professor in the Graduate School of Business; Eunice McGuire, a retired Laboratory Schools teacher; and Burt Faldet, a former psychologist at the Laboratory Schools.

Lubway, who was known to many in the Hyde Park community as a regular performer in the Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company, began teaching at the Laboratory Schools in 1953. He taught third through seventh grades at various times over the years, and he was the first principal of the Middle School, from 1963 to 1966. He took a leave of absence from the Laboratory Schools in 1966-67 to teach sixth grade at the American School of Warsaw, Poland. He retired in 1990.

Lubway was also host of the WMAQ-TV series "Read Me a Story" in the mid-1960s.

Contributions in his memory may be made to the Ray Lubway Fund at the Laboratory Schools.
