February 27, 1941 Mr. Ernest J. Vanek Wichita High School North Wichita, Kansas Dear Mr. Vanek: I have refrained from writing you until Mr. Stout had sent you the official communication from the Board Of Education. We had a good meeting the other evening and the Board of Education seemed to be unanious in its desire to secure you for work in Topeka High School. They indicated a willingness to offer you either the work as basketball coach or head of the physical education department, which would include work for girls as well as boys. We are anxious to have some one who will head up this work and develop a good course. Athletics then of course becomes a part of the whole program. I sincerely hope we may be able to secure your services for one or the other of these positions. Very sincerely, We. N. Van Slyck Principal SLRS as a eee Sy,
