Dr. Forest C. Allen
Athletic Director,
University of Kansas

Dear Dr, Allen:

You will doubtless be surprised to hear from me after
a lapse of several years, but I am needing some help, and
wondering if you can help me out as you used to.

We have a position of History and assistant athletic
coach in our Senior High School, which we would like to fill
with a competent young man. We would like someone who is
capable of teaching the History, assisting with athletics,
especially football and basketball, and who, above all, is
a gentleman and can be depended upon to treat boys as young
gentlemen.

The History position will be four classes in our Senior
High School. This is one less class than the normal load.
The athletic work will come after 3:00 o'clock in the after-
noon.

In our athletic setup, we will have a coach and two
assistants who will help the coach in the afternoons with
major athletics. The athletic work will run the full nine
months. After basketball season, they will have spring
football practice, softball, some baseball, and some track.
However, our chief sports and interest are football and
basketball,

The salary for this position will be on the same scale
as that of our regular teachers, except he will have one less
class to teach and will be paid an additional $340.00 ag
athletic assistant. Our beginning salary this year for the
Bachelor Degree, without experience, is $2,000.00. The $340.00
additional would make $2,340.00 for the position. We also
allow $20.00 per year.for experience up to and including eight
years. Married men maintaining a family receive $180.00 more
than single men.
