From the 1966 Lucky Bag:

KEVIN DOUGLAS CLANCY

Stoughton, Massachusetts

Kevin Clancy came to Crabtown from the Southern Shore of Massachusetts. An underaged chubby kid, Clance developed into a stalwart on the Batt football team and Company fieldball team. The Clance, known for his boyish grin, Irish temper, and fierce sense of competition, majored in keeping parties lively and minored in paying hotel bills. Everybody's pal, Clance has had no trouble making friends and should have no trouble in the future, whatever aspect of life he chooses.

He was also a member of the 1st Battalion staff (fall).
