My dear Dr. Allen:

| In a recent letter, John Bunn informed me that
there would be a position open in your department at the
University of Kansas. John said he did not know the exact

_hature of the position or what the duties would be, but

he intimated that work in general health, physical educa-
tion and athletics would probably be included. I am very
much interested in a position of that nature and I would

like to be considered as a candidate for such a position

on your staff. I believe that my training, experience
and background qualify me for university teaching.

At present I am completing my second year as
Director of Athletics at the Kamehameha School for Boys
in Honolulu, where my duties include the direction of
physical education classes, the intramural progran,
coaching, and teaching units of hygiene and preparation
for marriage and home life in the senior orientation
coursese Previous to coming here, I had four years of
experience in coaching and teaching physical education
and academic subjects in three California high schools.
During my three years at Vacaville High School, I was
head of the physical education department and coached
all sports with more than an average degree of success.
Besides my coaching, physical education classes and
intramural work in high schools, I have had several
summers experience as life guard, pool director and
swimming instructor with the Los Angeles City Recreation
Department. I also held the position of assistant
camp director for several summers in the Los Angeies
Council Boy Scout Camp where my duties included the
teaching of swimming, equitation and sports. :

My training in physical education was obtained
at Stanford University where I worked under Dr. Thomas E.
Storey, John Bunn, Dr. N. P. Neilson, Dr. Walter Brown,
Dink Templeton, and Tiny Thornhill. ly credentials
indicate that I did not complete quite all thg require-
ments for a major in physical education before I
obtained my degree of Master of Arts. This is explained
by the fact that I decided to enter the teaching field
quite late in my college career; and the large number of
