Representative Arentz has two
nominations for the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis for
next year. Nevada boys who may
aspire to this much-coveted berth
are urged to make application at
once to their Representative in Con-
gress, in order to put in a year at
some good coaching school in prep
aration for the examinations, which
are very strict. Several Nevadans
have failed recently because of lack
of appreciation of this fact. A year
of intensive preparatory work after
high school seems almost necessary.
