June 14th, 1941 Mr. Albert E. “aas Haas & Wilkerson Insurance Kansas City, Missouri Dear Mr. Haas: . You have been very nice to follow up in your letter as of June llth concerning some of our applicants. John Burge accepted a job at Raytown, Missouri. Paul White has joined the Marines. I'm not sure regarding Ramie Biems. This afternnon I had Ralph Dugan in my office and talked with him regarding this position. “6 was in Victor Hurt's class and Victor told him that if he wanted a coaching job in football, he would be glad to recommend him. Ralph was out with the freshman team but the fact that he was married while in school and has had to work for a living has kept him from going out for major sports. Ralph is one of the cleanest young men I know and has a very forceful personality. He does not use tobacco or alchoholic beverages and is an exceptionally save and valuable man to deal with young people. He has two or three positions on hand but has not closed with any and when I told him about the Stanberry position he seemed very much inter- ested. First, I want to apologize for not answering more promptly, but the ending of our baseball schedule, examinations, Commencement and the 75th Anniversary besides the Amateur Golf Tournament for which I was an officer, has taken up my waking hours as well as my evening hours. I had a large number of Commencement Addresses and this schedule has really ruined me as far as initiative is concerned. I'm as stale as a three-months-old piece of rye bread. When you mentioned Stanberry, Missouri, it called to my attention that I was born in Jamesport. Gallentine, Clarence and in all towns up North, I have relatives there. My grandfather, George P; Allen, was County Surveyor of Davies for a great number of years. And the Pogues, the Millers and the Allens are a great number there. Harry K. Allen, former Dean of Washburn College and now one of the Associate Justices of the Sansas Supreme Court, is one of my counsins. I do not know whether your father kmew any of them or not, but I presume he did because he is an old timer, too. T have not written to Superintendant Zeliff or to My, Hubert Lindley, a member of the Board of Education, but I gave Red Dugan their addresses and I'm assured he will write them tonight. page two You did not give your father's initials, hence, I cannot write him, but I do appreciate your courtesy in your follow up letter. I']] promise to be more prompt, hereafter. With kindest personal regards, I an, Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education and Recreation- Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach. FCA:re CARBIDE & CARBON BLDG. RA E Telephone 912 Baltimore Ave. INSU NC Victor 6430 KANSAS CITY, MO. May 27 19 41 Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: This will acknowledge and thank you for your letter of May 20th with respect to applicants for a coaching position. The town in which this position is open is Stanberry, Mo. This is my home town and my dad still lives up there. It is forty miles north of Ste Joee Since writing you originally I learned that they are very seriously considering a boy from Maryville Teachers, who it seems dates the daughter of one of the members of the School Board. However, this boy is single and there would be no assurance that he would not be called into the army before next years' school term is over. For that reason I believe that they definitely want a married man. If it wasn't for the close connection between the Mary- ville applicant and one of the members of the Board, I would say that we would be a positive cinch to get the job for anyone whom you might recommend. While the writer has not lived in Stanberry for a number of years, I am still very well connected up there and my dad, at the present time, is very active in the community and has been for about fifty years. Therefore, I feel that with the influence we could exert we would undoubtedly be able to do a lot of good for the right applicant. In looking over the circular that you enclosed with your letter, it is difficult to tell which would be the best man to choosee I think that I had best leave that up to your good judgment as I know that you know these boys and would not give us a "bum steer", Therefore, let me suggest that you have whichever one of the married boys that you choose write to Professor L. Ae -2- Dr. Forrest C. Allen — May 27, 1941 Zeliff, Superintendent of Schools, Stanberry, Missouri, and also to Mr. Hubert Lindley, c/o of the Board of Educa- tion, Stanberry, Missouri and use my namee Tell them that I suggested they write for an appointment to have an inter- view concerning this job. I don't know what it pays, but it probably pays the same as all high schools in towns of around 2,000. If you desire to do so yourself, since you are well known to both of the individuals mentioned above, it might not be amiss if you would write to one, or both of them stating that I suggested someone from Ke Ue apply for this position and that you could recommend the applicant. After you have done this please advise me and I will have my dad get the "dope". I saw our boy friend, Don Ettinger, the other day, and I think that I am going to be able to get him a job on this Lake City Government project this summer. He will make $.85 an hour and be able to live at home, which would be of great benefit to him. With kindest personal regards, I am Very truly yours, .

Try to include some less active games in your program such as art or nature projects, story telling, hobby shows, etc. Trusting this will be helpful to you, I em, Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education and Recreation-"arsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
