| Summary |
"DAVE DARRIN'S FOURTH YEAR AT ANNAPOLIS: HEADED FOR GRADUATION AND THE BIG…" by H. Irving Hancock is a fiction novel written during the early 20th century. The story centers around Dave Darrin and his close friend, midshipman Daniel Dalzell, as they navigate their final year at the United States Naval Academy, filled with camaraderie, challenges, and the pressures of impending graduation. Their experiences not only highlight the competitive spirit of military academia but also delve into personal growth, friendships, and ambitions, especially as they prepare to face the Army in a crucial football game. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the lively world of Annapolis, where Dave Darrin is settling into another academic year with his roommate, Dan. The atmosphere is filled with discussions about football—a source of excitement and pride among the cadets—while underlying tensions surface as Dan's absence raises concerns for Dave. The narrative quickly establishes the dynamics between the midshipmen, their camaraderie, and light-hearted banter even as they face serious consequences for rule-breaking. As the story unfolds, an unexpected twist concerning Dan's romantic interests introduces personal stakes and emotional conflict that will likely affect their friendship and military careers.
