Dear Sir:

As far as 1 have been able to determine, Miss
Margaret Curd wrote Mir, Rogers, the Amarillo Superin-
tendent of Schools on April 3r4, inquiring about a
position, An application blank was then sent to her,

The position would be in one of the junior high schools
in Amarillo, and up until the present time hasn't been
filled, I doubt if influence, if any, brought to bear
would be st all helpful, Rogers is now at Columbia
University and will be there most of the summer, A
personaly interview would probably be the most helpful
thing that Miss Curd could have to make better her
chances for a job,

Now let me ask you about another matter, We have a
football player here in McLean, a senior in hish
school this coming year, who I think bids fair to
become quite well known some ot these days. He weighs
around 195, plays full back now, and is remarkably
fast for nis size. If his play next fall is anything
like his past performance, he will have offers from
many schools, His coach tells me that he is one of

the best prospects he has ever seen, He reminds me of )

a fellow named Mayes who played on the Amarillo team (6

in 1956, and who will probably be on the Texas varsity > =9

this fall, in addition, the boy, being a preacher's + )

son, is both smart and conscientious, 7 po
~~

frankly, I'd like to see him at tCU or some other major — \ ) Jf

fexas school, but next to that, and before he goes to , Ce

fexas Tech, Hardin Simmons, or such schools, 1'4 tke / > Xx )
to see him at Kansas, Coulé probably get him a $15.00 /
monthly job at the DU house, but he would need more tf
than that, since he will have to be entirely selt- t. v
supporting, Could you all do him any good’? Or would .
you be interested in trying? If so, I'll keep an eye on

him and see if I can do some good for you,

Any further assistance I might render will be gladly
given,

  

Sincere
