Regarding information you request about Mr. E. 5. DeGroot, Jr.,
I believe he may be ably suited to the work he has chosen as a
teacher and physical education instructor.

My experience with Mr. DeGroot extends over a period of years,

and I have no information about the young mun which is of a

7 nature. My experience with hia has been very satisfactory,
pesitive in every way

I knew Hr. DeGroot at the Los o~ee municipal camp as @ leader
of Scouts during the summers of 927 and 1928, during which time

he acted as an instructor in | a saving, horseback riding
and Scout activities ani games, He did this with a great deal of
credit to the camp organization. Subihe the summers of 1929 and
1950, he was employed under my supervision as a Pool Guard, and
during some part of the summer, was in complete charge of a
municipal pool, shere instruction is given in elementary swimming
instruction, swimming coaching and life saving. Im my opinion,

Mr. DeGroot is qualified to teach and coach all branches of
aquaties in the High School Physical Eijucation program. We need |
men of his type in this very important field.
