Summary "DAVE DARRIN'S FIRST YEAR AT ANNAPOLIS" by H. Irving Hancock is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows two young men, Dave Darrin and Dan Dalzell, who are preparing to enter the United States Naval Academy as plebe midshipmen, facing nervous anticipation, medical exams, and the challenges of adapting to military culture and camaraderie. At the start of the narrative, we meet Dave and Dan on a trolley as they approach Annapolis, where they will begin their naval training. The opening chapters introduce their personalities, with Dan's nervousness contrasting with Dave's confidence and humor as they banter about their upcoming experiences. As they prepare for their first day at the academy, they navigate a blend of excitement and anxiety, touching on themes of friendship and personal growth. Their initial struggles include dealing with the high expectations set by themselves and the academy, setting the stage for their further experiences as they acclimate to the strict environment and traditions of naval life.
