WINFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT WINFIELD, KANSAS August 27, 1943 Mr. Fred Ellsworth, Secretary Alumi Ass'n. of University of Kansas Room 2 Frank Strong Hall Lawrence, Kansas My dear Mr. Elisworth: This letter is to you in personal confidence. Please do not tell Dr. Allen about it since I have no con- fidence at all in him regarding anything to do with the Winfield Schools. His Tucker stunt has put him off my list for life. The Brannum twins are high class basketball players and do have another year before they will be eighteen. They spent a week at the University of Kentucky this spring as guests of’ the University athletic depart- ment. The University would not accept their trans- cripts although they are graduates of this school. One of the boys had to make up a half unit of English credit. He took the work this summer at Southwestern College under a man greatly interested in athletics _ and very easy to get along with and failed in the work. The boys have good minds, They are not too easy to manage. Clarence is married. The mother is quite ambitious for them. I rather doubt if they will be interested in a place where they have to work for what they receive. I did enjoy being in your home both for the excellent food and for the equally excellent companionship. Your sister is one of the people for whom the Evans family has the very highest regard--so are the rest of you. Please do not tell Dr. Allen anything I have written you. Very a ? Evan Gui EEE: ch Superintendent AUG 28 1943
