Dear Dr. Allen:

Because of your distinctive position I am writing to solicit
your shpport i matter, which I trust is meritorioud and in which
you probably might be interested.

You possibly will remember me as a student on the campus and
as principal of the high schools at McLouth and Tonganoxie nearby,
For this,my.second year, I am serving as principal and coach
of the Stohrville Rural High School, located at Bluff City in
Harper county, Kansas. However my bona-fide residence is at South
Haven, Sumner county, Kansas.

At South Haven I have a son, “enneth, who finishes high school
this spring. Kenneth is making pland and desires to enter K. U.
this fall. His mother, Laura McKay (deceased “ecember 30,1944) and
I graduated at K. U. in 1916. I have a Master's from the same in
1934.

Kenneth's application to Dean Henry Werner (or is it Adviser
to Men?) for residence in one of the Men's Residence Scholarship
Halls is going ferward in today's mail.

For your consideration I would like to state that Kenneth has
been "all out" for athletics:since he was in the sixth grade. A
brief resume of such athletic participation follows:

Four years! of high school football, climaxed last fall
by his being captain and quarter-back of an ever-viétorious
nine game season.

A regular member of his school basket ball team from grades
six to twelve.-- high point man in his district basket ball
tournament last spring and consistently high point scorer in
all games this season and he is not an individual player.

In his sophonire year his school tried baseball -- Kenneth
did a creditable job of catching.

Last spring he was something of a general utility man on his
track team.

Last, but not least, he has been consistently on his high school

Honor Roll this year. (For the latter I give all the credit to
his mother -- she was Phi Beta Kappa at K.U.+
