Clive Strangman '42, from Pasadena, California, graduated with his classmates on December 19, 1941. His Lucky Bag entry: "Talented, versatile, and original are three words which adequately describe this English importation from the land of tea and crumpets. His originality was displayed in everything from pep parades to hop programs. His versatility was evident in athletics and his talent in everything he attempted. But most of all, I like to remember him for his subtle humor and his all-around good companionship."
He played football and basketball his plebe year for the Class of '42 teams, and was also on the track team through his 2/c year. As a 1/c, he was 7th Company Commander.
Clive was killed on April 26, 1945 in a "flight training accident;" he is not listed as a qualified naval aviator.
He was survived by his wife, Annette, whom he married on July 7, 1944.
Though we've been unable to find how Clive participated in the war from graduation until his death, we remember his service and sacrifice today and every day.
