Colby Students
Going to ANNAPOLIS

Colby has been particularly honor
ed by the fact that two of her stud
ents will enter the United States Ma
val Academy at Annapolis next June.
The men who have won appointments
are: Richard Rice Snow, IS. of Rock
land and Charles Metcalf Giles '29, Of
Damariscotta. Snow passed the eX-
animation given at Augusta in Octo-
Der with the highest mark and Giles
has received the direct appointment.
Both of the men need only to pass
the physical examination in order to
be admitted to the Naval Academy.
This should not bother either as both
have been prominent in several ath-
letic sports and very successful in
this competition. Snow has been q
member of the football and track
squads since he entered college and
last Spring he made letter in the
latter sport when he scored in the
pole vault in the State meet. Giles
was a star on the freshman football
team this fall in his position of half
back and at present he is a member
of the varsity track squad.
