Dean H. DeMattio, son of  Mr. and  Mrs. Herman DeMattio of RD 1, New Philadelphia,  was named today by 16th District Rep. Frank T. Bow of Canton as one of the latter's 2 principal candidates for admission to the United States Military Academy  (West Point).  Bow also nominated Terry K. Clarke of Canton for vacancies to be filled in the class beginning in July.  Clarke is a Canton Lincoln High Senior.  DeMattio, a Senior at Midvale High School, ranks among the top students in his class and has been a standout athlete for the Blue Devils in 4 sports--football, basketball, baseball and track.  He was selected as a first-team offensive end on the past season's Associated Press All-Ohio Class A selections and was named the Tuscarawas County Class A League's most valuable player a year ago when he set a new school season scoring mark with 531 points.

Named alternates to DeMattio were:  Robert E. Lee Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lee of Bolivar and a Senior at Tuscarawas Valley High; Barry Rinehart of Canton, a 1963 graduate of Lincoln High and Michael R. Jennings, a Senior at Wooster High.  Named alternates to Clarke were:  Charles W Hurd III of Northwestern High; Wayne E. Graybille II of North Canton High and Ronald W. Stunz of Louisville High.

The 4-year course at the Military Academy leads to a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the regular Army.  Candidates were selected on the basis of competitive exams conducted last July and November.
