Mr. Herbert E. Wiebe,
Director of Recreation,
Bethel College,

North Newton, Kansas.

Dear Mr. Wiebe: |
I can appreciate your dilemma since you have so few boys
are at Bethel. I can hardly visualize your set up there. A recreation  —

program needs to fit into a special situation, and since I am not ac-
quainted with your set up it is very difficult for me to prescribe.

I believe that the.dances .are, taboo edetne? but I am quite

‘gure that the square dances wo _not%,.be out of bounds.at,vour place,

If not, that would be one feature that you could promote. You could
paint shuffleboard courts on your gymasium floor and you could make

that a co-recreation feature of entertainment. You could have badminton —
and work that in with some competitive co-recreation tournament.

All of your physical and social activities must be tied in,
in such a way that they are not extraneous but an inherent part of your
school activities.

By the way, if you do not to use paint on the floor in
marking the shuffleboard courts, you could take one-fourth of Lelage's
glue and three-fourths of show card shiting or show card color and paint
the lines on the floor. Warm Water will erase all lines of this nature
so that no one could object to your placing them temporarily there as
long as they might be needed, and yet that would not deface the floor

I am sorry that you were not able to attend ow Recreation
Institute. We had a lady stenographer take down all the activities of
this institute. The time consumed for this would run into a lot of money
on the hourly basis. However, we desired to preserve the activities of
the five-day institute. We have in typewritten form the entire mterial
