William H. Hirst ’33
BILL HIRST DIED Mar. 20, 1991, in Devon, Penn. A service was held at St. Isaac's Church, near Devon.

After the war, he joined Connelly Containers, where he became V.P. and Sales Manager. He later moved to St. Croix, Virgin Islands, and still later to Sarasota, Fla. Two years ago he moved to Devon Manor.
Bill married Priscilla Carstairs in 1938, in Haverford. They had a daughter, Mrs. George K. (Dorothy) Marshall. They were later divorced, and in 1947 he married Ann R. Robison, who died in 1984.
To Dorothy and her family the Class of '33 expresses its deep sympathy.
