| John Clayton (Dartmouth photo) |
In 1947, John graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., where he excelled at football, basketball, and baseball. After high school, John headed to Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H. A standout quarterback for the Big Green, “Johnny” Clayton received the prestigious George Bulger Lowe Award as New England’s top college football player, and was chosen to play in the 1950 East-West Shrine All-Star game. In an era of limited passing, his 2,227 career passing yards topped Dartmouth’s record charts; he remains 16th on those charts today.
