Stephen Webster North ’59

Stephen Webster North ’59, of San Rafael, Calif.; Apr. 24. He served in the Army as Chaplain’s assistant, worked as a stockbroker for a while, and then became a high school teacher both at Jefferson High School in Daly City and Terra Nova in Pacifica. After retiring in 2003, he enjoyed swimming, painting, writing, acting and, most of all, substitute teaching, and was considered a “most favorite sub” in the high schools of Marin County. Known for his sharp wit and wry sense of humor, he often surprised his students with his own portrayals of fictitious eccentric characters. He was an accomplished writer and actor, writing his own insightful one-man-show, “Tales Out of School,” and performing it at the Barn Theater in Ross in 2006. As a member of the Dolphin Club in San Francisco, he completed the Golden Gate swim four times, and the Escape from Alcatraz swim twice. He is survived by his four children and their spouses, eight grandchildren, two great-granddaughters, one niece, and two nephews.
