education courses required to obtain a teaching
credential in California prevented my enrolling in some
of the basic courses which I needed for a physical
education major during my last year at Stanrord.

My work in graduate summer schools and my six years
teaching experience, however, have veen chiefly in
physical education; and my thesis was written on 2
physical education subject. I expect to continue work
in physical education in summer schools, although

last summer it was interrupted by a trip around the
world, which I felt was equally valuable. Besides my
Masters Degree, I obtained an administrative credential
as well as the regular teaching credential while at
Stanford. During my years in high school and college,
I competed in football, basketball, track and swimming.
i was on the All American Honor Roll in track for the
Year 195i. =:

Without any intention of being egotistical,
i might add that I come from a "physical education family".
My father, E. B. DeGroot, was the founder of the tamous
South Park Playgrounds in Uhicago, was later Superintendent
of Physical Education in the San Francisco Puplic Schools
and is at present Scout Executive ot the Los Angeles
Metropolitan area Gouncil. My prother, Dudley, is heaa of
the physical education department and heaa tootvnall coach
at San Jose State College, Galifornia. We are all proud of
my younger brother, Hugo, who, as a sophomore, is one of
the nation's leading javelin throwers at U.S.C. this season.

If you do consider me as an applicant for the
position in your department, I shall be glad to supply any
further knformation you might want and I shall also be glad
to forward to you the addresses of any persons under whom
I have worked and whom you might like to contact for further
reference or information.

Yours very truly,
