Superintendent of Schools,
Emporia, Kansas.

Dear Superintendent Richards:

I em happy to advise you that we heave a young man, George
Dick, who is honor captain of our football team, now a member of
our varsity basketball team, and a major in Physical Education.
He is graduating this year.

George Dick is a fine, clean, personable and energetic young

° side Weel WM ter eae Dabbatted de ane af ar ace ee.
Army at Port Leavenworth. He served until this past September
n he was discharged on socount of an injured knee that he sustained
maneuvers. He returned to the University this fall to finish
S practice teaching for his degree. I believe that he will not
his degree completed until this spring. I think he has a few hours
he wants to finish here, but he would be in a position, I believe, .
pt a position for next fall. we is 24 years of age, very mature
dependable. He is now coaching the University High School
ketball teamh as a part of his practice teaching.

You could do no better if you are interested in this young man.
He is a high grade young chap in every respect and I recommend him to
you without reservation. I have not talked to him, but will in the next
dey or 80. In my opinion he should command e very good salary because
he is not the accidental type of teacher nor a youngster just getting
out. Will you let me kmow whet such a position, in your opinion, would
pay? I will be glad to disouss it with him. George Dick is no great
bargainer, but he does realize that there will be many coaching jobs
open to him this coming fall.

i Hi

Very sincerely yours,

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