Dear Maurice:

Thank you so much for Ne
iste I called Frank Allen and Harold Testerman and gave
them the information, and passed on the good word to Reg
Strait, our physical education instructor in this depart-
Se eee who in turn succeeded
Dre Elbel.

There certainly was a big fleck of candidates up
there to greet Moon and Lt. Forsberg. I believe these
 @fficers had a good opportunity to leok over e fine group
of candidates. Strait, who formerly supervised physical
education in the Chanute Public Schools, felt that he had

told, on account of the qualifications being very high.

I thank you for writing and I will definitely keep
in mind the qualifications so that when we run across good
men we will be eble to tell them exactly what qualifications
are necessary. —

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year, I am

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
PCA: AH _ Varsity Basketball Coach.
