Among the ranks of notable (and attractive!) alumni of Amherst College is Everett Glass (1891-1966). Everett was New England born and raised. He grew up in Bangor, Maine, and attended Amherst as part of the class of 1914. While he was at Amherst, he was part of the editorial staff of the Amherst monthly.
When Everett graduated from Amherst, he moved to the arguably more stimulating city of Boston to work as assistant to the Polish director, Richard Ordynski, on Henri IV. In 1917 he was one of the original members of the Greenwich Village Theater Company.
Glass became a film actor in 1948. He appeared in Easy Living (1949), an episode of Family Theater (1951). He also acted in the Twilight Zone, the Adventures of Superman, Rawhide, and Lassie.
Dear class of 2014, please make sure that some of you appear in something as cool as Lassie, like Everett Glass, so that I can say one day “hey, I knew that kid!” We’ve got to keep the Amherst legacy alive.
