MARSHALLTOWN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND JUNIOR GOLLEGE B. R. MILLER, PRINCIPAL MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA, June 16, 1944 Dr. BF. Cs. Alien Director of Athletics University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: We are in need of a man to be head basketball coach and to assist with football. The man we employ will also teach some classroom subjects and may take charge of one or two boys' gymnasium classes. At the present time, the schedule calls for a man who could handle classes in the social studies. We are quite interest- - ed in securing a good basketball coach and can arrange to place subjects other than the social studies in his teaching schedule. The salary the position will pay, will depend upon the training and experience of the applicant. We can offer a salary that will attract a good man. You are at liberty to notify candidates to apply at once for the athletic position that is open here. [I am inclined to believe that the chief source of supply for suitable candidates will be from the group of men who are already employed in teaching positions in towns smaller than Marshalltown. I assure you we will appreciate any assistance you can give us in filling the athletic position. Sincerely yours, SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Co , Ber Cea) BRM:b jd Principal
