During his high school years, he and his brother, Leonard along with two high school friends, formed the Nathaniel Dett Quartet and sang sprituals. He was a dedicated scholar and ended his high school career winning the top awards in every subject area, as well as the top athletic awards. Walt was the first Black student to be enrolled in Ithaca College, New York, but he only attended one semester. At that time, there were no living accommodations for Blacks.

His greatest joy was promoting the basketball games between his hometown of Newburgh and the young men and women of the Druid Hill branch. The crippling effects of multiple Sclerosis overcame his determination and strength and Walt had to retire due to disability in 1967.
