Dear Principal Highfill:

I am sorry that I have failed to answer your good letter
SOONnCrs

ibd ville, seme te tie damien Giten:. Hereto-
fore I have coached the baseball team, but I have made no
decision this year. I think, however, they are expecting me to
handle it. I am rather dubious about accepting your invitation.
With transportation what it is, it is very difficult to make a
one-day trip out of such a project. If I would be fortunate
enough te get another commencement date either preceding or
er ee
much easier.

Therefore, I aa at a loss to givo you any definite information
at the present time. In these days of gasoline rationing, I am
wondering what honorarium you would feal like paying.

Thanking you for your compliment in asking me to address your
school, and with kindest personal regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

Dear Phog;
Attached is a check for $12.00 which we hope
will cover your expenses for the trip you so kindly

made to Emporia to talk to our annual football dinner.

We certainly want to thank you in behalf of the

Chamber of Commerce, the High School and the comnunity

for the inspiring address you delivered.

Your appearance at the banquet was very gratifying
to me for the reason, I am trying very hard to build up a
series of Chamber of Commerce meetings here and the prestige
of a few men of your caliber was very much worth while.

If we can ever be of any service to you or Kansas
University please call.

We received two mats from your publicity department
and are returning one of them, leaving the other with the
Gazette.

With best person regards for a Merry Christmas for
you and yours, I am,

Yours very truly,
EMPORIA CHAMBER OF C CE

Dear Phog:

This will confirm our telephone conversation of this morning in
which you so kindly agreed to come to Emporia November 30 and
address our Chamber of Commerce Forum which is honoring our high
school football team on that occasion.

Harry Bouck is secretary of our Chamber of Commerce. He was for-
merly in Manhattan, and upon coming to Emporia this summer, he in-
stigated the idea of having all the service clubs combine one meet-
ing a month and hold a Chamber of Commerce forum dinner. At the
first forum dinner, I was asked to talk on town and gown coopera-
tion. At the October meeting, Mr. V. P. Conroy, vice president of
Transcontinental Western Airlines discussed the future of air
transportation, the occasion being the dedication of our new muni-
cipal airport. The November 30 meeting will be the third meeting
and the objective will be to honor the high school football team.

We have not had any football banquets here for some years. Of
course we have no college team this year, and our high school team
has been only moderately successful, having won their games with

El Dorado and Winfield, and having lost to Newton ., Wichita, Topeka,
Haskell and Salina. Their last game will be with Ottawa on the llth.
I really think that they have been playing a number of schools out
of their class. The coach of the high school team is Alfred D. Smith.

Following is the train schedule which indicates when you can leave
Lawrence and arrive in Emporia; Leave 8:45 a. m., arrive 10:40 ;
leave 9:47 a. m., arrive 11;55 a. m.; leave 11:41 a. m., arrive
2p.m.e The three trains you can get out of Emporia are at 8:05 p. m.
(if this train is late), 4:30 a. m., and 9:20 a. m. Please let me
know when you will arrive. We want you to make your headquarters at

our home. Again, many thanks.
Cordially yours

Dear Phog:

I knew you when I was secretary of Manhattan Chamber of Commerce,
I came here April 1, from Manhattan. We are trying to rebuild a
Chamber of Commerce here.

One of the things we are doing is to organize monthly Chamber of
Commerce meetings similar to those of Manhattan, with the four service
clubs meeting with the Chamber of Commerce.

The November 30, meeting is the Football Dinner for the members
of the Emporia High School squad. You know we have no college teams
this year.

In looking around for a speaker, our committee unanimously
selected your name and requested President Jim Price to contact you.

" Jim just called me with the good news that you had agreed to
comes The dinner starts at 6:15 at the Broadview Hotel. We will
have around 500 or more people, both men and women. We can broad-
cast at least a part of your remarks, if you so désire over KT sw,
Mutual affiliate.

I cannot tell you how much that I personally appreciate the fact
that you have consented to come and to do this job for us and I hope
that you will get as big a bang out of doing it as we will have
doing it.

I wish you wuld send us a little advanced publicity and single
column mat, if you have one available in order that we can give
proper publicity to the event as this is the first community
recognition of our football team to be held here ina good many years
and we want to make it good.

With best personal regards, I am,

Dear Mrs. Kerich:
I acknowledge receipt of your letter of September 23.

As coach of varsity basketball, i#-is aimost imperative
that I not make any dates during the month of December. I have a
date at Salina, which was set for the 15th of November, but I have
a conflict there. I am asking if they can take the 22nd.

} Would it be possible that I could come to your place
following that meeting: Or it may be possible they will take the
29th. If they should take that cold you take the 30th? or
would an early date in November suit you? I much prefer the
earlier date to the later one on accoumt of interference with
basketball.

Very cordially yours,

Dear Phog: ©

We are having a K. U. Alumni Dinner at 6:30 P.M. on the night
of November 22nd in one of the special dining rooms in the Casa Bonita
Cafe in this City, which is just across the street from the Lamer Hotel
in which one of the ladies on the P.T.A. Committee obtained a reservation
of room for you on that date.

We arranged our Alumni Dinner on that date, changing it from
today, for the reason that the Alumni wished to have you with them at
their annual dinner and indirectly I had asked Fred Ellsworth to contact
you to see whether or not you would be available to us, mowing full well
that you would accept our invitation providing someone else had not spoken
in advance.

Fred tells me that your train is due in Salina at 4:00 otclock
on the afternoon of November 22nd. I will meet you at the train and take
you to your hotel room. This room was reserved by one of the ladies of
the P.T.A. before we made arrangements for this dinner. If for any reason
this room should not be available we have a guestroom at our house and at
tis time will extend an invitation to you to come to our home.

Let me hear from you concerning this dinner engagement because
I know that all the old K. U. grads will turn out in full force to greet
you and to enjoy hearing you on whatever message you have to bring to them
at this time.

Sincerely yours,
