Examinations for College Training Friday April 2
Superintendent Austin Bates and Band Director Henry Garen of Clare High will supervise qualifying examinations on Friday April 2 for the Army Specialized Training Program and Navy College Training Program. Students may apply through Principal Emil Pfister for tests leading to college work contracted by the Army and Navy, with success leading to enlistment or induction and college attendance at service expense. Army candidates face thirteen weeks of basic training before final college qualification. Navy candidates are selected by the Office of Naval Officer Procurement and will be detailed to college in uniform with active pay and military discipline. Training begins for qualifiers in 1943, and no other tests are planned for months, so applicants are urged to take the April 2 exams.
