Roy Ryan died Aug. 19, 1995. He was 67. He prepared for Princeton at Princeton H.S., where he was active in tennis, student government, and Glee Club. At Princeton he majored in modern languages, and was a member of Elm Club.
Roy served in the Navy from Jan. 1946 until Dec. 1947. He received an MA from Middlebury College and then taught for four years at St. Peter's School in Peekskill, N.Y., and later taught at the Ecole Nationale Professionelle de Garsons in Greil, France. He subsequently was a graduate student and assistant in the modern languages department at Princeton.
Roy married Alice Elizabeth Macpherson in 1953; they had one child and later divorced.
For about 30 years, Roy was a teacher, administrator, and chair of the modern languages department at St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Del. In 1981 he quit teaching and became a real estate broker in Brigantine, N.J., and worked at that part-time until his death.
Roy is survived by his son, James, a sister, and two nieces. To each of them the class extends its heartfelt sympathy.
