William Trevor M.D. ’36

Bill, a renowned surgeon, died of cancer June 28, 1997, on his birthday. He prepared at the Gilman School. At Princeton he majored in biology and was a member of Charter Club. He played four years of soccer and established an annual award for the soccer player showing the most improvement in his play and attitude.

In 1940 he graduated from the U. of Maryland's School of Medicine. He spent three years at New York's Columbia Presbyterian Post Graduate Surgical School. He was a Lahey Clinic Surgical Fellow. He was associated with several other prestigious medical organizations. He taught anatomy at St. Clare's Hospital and published several papers on cancer. He retired in 1972.

For several years Bill served on our class executive committee. He was proud of his record of attending 59 straight class reunions. A serious fall a few days before our 60th caused his absence. How he loved to dance! Year after year he would dance away reunion nights spending much time at the younger class tents featuring big bands. Many of us will remember his little costumed poodle, "Killer," marching with Bill in 14 of our P-rades.

Bill is survived by his sister Maxine Trevor and his longtime friend Doris P. Cherry. He will indeed be missed.
