couldn't print because he wanted to
surprise his mother he
phoned her from Norfolk last week
and told her that he had passed
the exams to make him eligible for
the Naval Prep School before TAX
ing u. S. Naval Academy exams
He took his prep school exams on
the destroyer, U. S. S. Buchanan
but it was one of the ships sold to
Great Britain. Well, he was trans
ferred seveal times after that and
the examination officials had
trouble locating him. When he
arrived in Norfolk from Hawaii he
found himself about one month
late for class but the powers" are
giving him special privileges to get
caught up on his back work.-He
might be home next week! Nice
goin', bud!
