LT Clifford Janz '31 was "Patient, generous, and warmhearted, Cliff makes an ideal roommate and a good friend. One reason he takes so well to activities may be to hold as many friends as possible. It's certainly a fact that his contagious smile and humor keep him always with someone around to " talk it over with.""
On the morning of December 7, 1941, he was "sending everyone in the vicinity to shelter below the armored deck" of USS Arizona (BB 39) when she was destroyed in a series of explosions.
Cliff had spend his career at sea in various destroyers until graduate school at the Naval Academy in 1938 and 1939; he transferred to USS Arizona sometime before October 1939.
Cliff was one of twelve Naval Academy graduates killed on that ship that morning; another twelve were killed elsewhere in the attack.
He was survived by his wife, parents, and 2-month old son.
