United States Senator J. Allen
Frear has announced that he will
nominate one principal and three
alternates to the United States Mil
itary Academy at West Point for
the class beginning July 8 of this
year. The appointment is to fill a
vacancy created by the recent res
ignatiOn of student formerly en-
rolled.
AS is his custom, Senator Frear
has arranged to have the Civil Ser
vice Commission administer a COM
petitive examination to Delaware
boys who are interested in com
peting for the vacancy. The seIec-
ttcn of the principal candidate and
alternates will be made on the bas-
is of results from this examination.
The test will be conducted Oh Mon
day, March at 100 D. m. at the
post Office in Wilmington, and the
post Office in Dover. Any Delaware
boy who feels he is qualified to take
the examination, and who is seri-
Ously interested in aspiring to a
career at West Point, is requested
to communicate with Senator Frear
if he wishes to compete.
Senator Frear emphasized that
any boy desiring to compete should
have successfully completed a high
school course by the time the July
class begins at the Academy. The
law provides that potential candi-
dates must have reached their 18th
but not their 22nd birthday by July
1st of the calendar year in which
they enter the Academy
