William T. Dalton ’54

Body

Our beloved classmate Bill Dalton died Sept. 23, 2001, after a prolonged illness. Born in NYC, Bill prepped at Portsmouth Priory. At Princeton, he was a member of Tiger Club and was its sports manager. He was also sports editor of the Prince.

After graduation, he spent two years in the Army during the Korean War and then went to graduate school at Rutgers U. He served our class as secretary for 10 years and also in other positions; he hosted many postgame functions at Tiger Inn. He was active in Boy Scouts and church work. Bill spent his adult life teaching history at Brick Township H.S.

The class sends its sympathy to his two sisters, and five nieces and nephew.
