EDWARD D. KROESCH Superintendent Cc. C. HARDY, Principal Senior High School HOISINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS HOISINGTON, KANSAS April 6, 1938 Dr. Forrest C, Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Perhaps you can add-to your letters of recommendation: that Hardy is persistent. This time I am trying for the Salina High School coaching job. I have sent my credentials and records to Superintendent W. S, Heusner and Monday I went for a personal interview. While there I saw Earl C. Woodward of the Class of 1910. He informed me that he played two years on your teams. I thought it best for you to write to him instead of to Superintendent Heusner. The address is Phe Salina Journal. The Board of Education will probably make the decision Monday night, April eleventh. Congratulations! Even your few enemies will have to admit after this years wonderful basketball season that you are the World's Best Basketball Coach.
