William Clay Spearing ’49
Bill was born on Long Island, N.Y., June 30, 1924, and according to the Social Security Index died at Islip in May, 1985.
Bill came to Princeton from Mineola H.S. At college he majored in economics, was a member of Tiger Inn, and played on the JV baseball team. After graduation he was in the underwriting department of the North American Reassurance Co. of New York, and in 1956 he was a transfer trainee with the Corporation Trust Co. in NYC, living in Rego Park, L.I. He was among our "missing" at our 20th, and the university had no further word from him from then on. We therefore have no knowledge about any family or survivors.
