Selma, Feb. 11—Friends here and elsewhere are congratulating Harry Candler on his appointment to West Point. He stood the mental tests making 17 units where only 14 are required for entrance. Dr. E.C. Brooks, president of the State College, testifies to the high stand he has taken since entering college last fall.
Harry graduated from the Selma high school in June, 1925, with high honors, being the winner of the Frances Green orator’s medal as well.
Mr. Candler is the son of Mrs. Mamie T. Candler and the grandson of Mrs. Georgia Winston Tuck of Selma. He is prominently connected through the State.
