Dear Miss Baker,
We have just finished the rush of enrollment and things are
looking fine in the department of physical educations

I am gled to know that you have just completed a profitable
sumer, but I eam sorry that we were unable to see you when
you wore in Kansas. ,

iiss Hoover and Miss Stapelton have returned to take on their
 @uties in the women’s department and Miss Melba Schilling, a
graduate of the University of Tllinois, has been engaged to
handle the dance classes. She comes very highly recommended by
Miss Freer, the head of the women's department of the University
of Illincis. ae

On the men’s side, Doctor Blbel and Tf are back and we have Mr.
Henry Shenk of Junction City who has replaced Mr. DeGroot to
handle the practise teaching for boys and for courses that Mre
DeGroot had charge ofs |

We also have Mr. Bob Raugh of Colby who is here on a scholar-
ship working on his master's degree.

In answer to your inquiry about Bill Hargiss, he is ‘able to
walk with the aid of a cane and we hope by spring he will be
well enough to take cere of most of his track duties.
