Dear Mr. Allen:

Joe Arnold, a very promising athlete, will graduate from
our high school in May. He is 17 years of age and wants
to pwepare for a teaching and coaching position in some
high school.

He has three brothers who are now in the military service
and all four of the boys were exceptionally good athletes.

Joe is one of the best basketball players in our county.
Two scouts from Manhattan have contacted him and are try-
ing to get him to go to school there.

His father was talking with me this morning and inquired
about Ki U.°* He stated that his son prefers K. U. if he
can make the necessary arrangements to pay for his school-
ing.

As Joe is 17, he wants to spend one year in college before
entering the military service and then he wants to complete
His schooling.

He is a very promising young man and very ambitious. His
parents can not finance his education, but Joe is willing
to work and help in any way he can to earn his way while
in sehool.

His father asked me to write to you and find out what ad-
vantages are available there at K. U. Joe would like to
enter college just as soon as he can after he graduates
from high school.

i would appreciate very much if you have something avail-
able which you would care to recommend for this young man.
i have known him personally all his life and I know he
will make good in whatever he undertakes to do.

Very truly yours,

e?

E. C. Brookens
