LTjg William Drumtra '32, of Gloucester, Massachusetts, was lost on July 25, 1938 when the torpedo bomber he was aboard crashed near Norfolk, Virginia.
At the Naval Academy he was known as a "roommate and a friend" with "no equal. His even temperament is not disturbed by petty gripes. We are sure that he will fulfil the requirements of an officer and a gentleman." He was business manager of Masqueraders and Musical Clubs; boxed 2/c year, played baseball and class football in his 4/c and 3/c years.
He was survived by his parents and a brother.
