EXECUTIVE SECRETARY August 30, 1939 Eleventh Annual Reunion of the Kansas City, Missouri Y.M.C.A. Leaders’ Corps. Wednesday evening, September 20th has been tentatively set as the date for the Eleventh Annual "Get-Together" of the former active members in the Kansas City, Missouri Y.M.C,A. As a matter of explanation, the idea of the Annual Reunion was originated by a few of the members of the old Leaders' Corps. However, it was always the idea and plan of this group not only to include members of the Leaders‘ Corps, but also all former active members in the Y.M.C.A. As each year has passed the interest and enthusiasm has been increased as you will note from the copy of the Secretary's Report and list of those attending last year's meeting. At a recent meeting of a few of the members of the Committee it was decided that perhaps a Fall meeting would be, if any- thing, more desirable than the early Spring meeting. You will be informed later of the exact date of this year's meeting, and also a card will be enclosed for your reserva+- tion. June Baker Ansel Stubbs E. T. McGaw V. £. Chaney T. A. Neidenberger L.

LEADERS' CLUB WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1938 The Tenth Annual Reunion of the Leaders! Corps. highly justi- fied the plan inaugurated last year of inviting "old timers" to participate. Twenty-eight men were present and letters were read from V. P. Brockhouse?, Lester Bisel, Dr. Max J. Exner?, Ernest Frederick, A. Me Roach, Jack McCleery, L. Hoxey, and ¥e P, WetZe John Sowers presided in an efficient manner in spite of his quite recent return from his honeymoon. Following the dinner served gracefully by the staff ladies, Joe Creed outlined the changing trends in "Y" gym work and his training of leaders to meet the new conditions. He presented four new leaders: Fencing, Swimming, Volleyball ---- C. G. Lord, General Secretary, reviewed the years of his connec- tions with the Kansas City "Y" and surprised some of the newer men by referring to his five years as Physical Director, while emphasizing the friendships developed in leader corps work as being beyond circulations. The impromptu part of the program was so well carried out that the entire program might have been rehearsed. As each man in- troduced himself and recounted his connection with the "Y" all those present listened with interest, for no two men had the same history or experiences. From initial membership in 1897 to 1931, the composite narrative was like a beautiful mosaic, with the colors of healthy activity set in a background of fine fellowship and service. It was agreed by all present that next year's reunion would be attended by a much Larger number. At 8:30 the group adjourned to the gym for Volley Ball, Handball, and Swimming, where even the old-timers demonstrated that muscles still coordinated, in spite of regrettable years of disuse. secretary LEADERS ANNUAL MEETING Attendance - May 18, 1938 C.

You see, I am going to attend a radio announcing school there, and I thought I would like to call upon Jane just to have a chat with her. I expected to see her at one of the basketball games, but there were too many people. During the past basketball season you have truely made Big-Six supporters proud of your great cage Squad. Your current edition of Kansas”basketballers," in my knowledge of the sport, is still tops, despite your loss to a great Indiana team. Your athletes carried through the last half of league competition through strain, and then went into the playoff under the same handicap. The NCAA games included the nation's best, one of which was old K U. Enclosed is a stamp, for which I hope you will forward to me Jane's address. Really I would like to get in touch with her.

We are now ready for Missouri Friday night. Itve been telling the fans around here all along, about your finish, but they believed it im- possible. I most certainly hope that all the tickets are not sold out for Friday. I have a meeting here that afternoon, but there will be nothing in this world that can keep me away from Hoch auditorium that night. Yet there is a slight chance that I might not make it, but regardless, my heart will be with you and your fighting basketeers. fo make sure, I would reserve a couple of seats, but such a thing might occur that I wouldn't get to see the game. But when I usually make up my mind to get something done, I at least make a spirited try. Hoping that there will be a few tickets left by Friday, and wishing you your well deserved victory, over those Missouri Tigers, I remain, Most sincerely yours, co Le 1 B.
