morning, it is 9:58 aeme, and I have not succeeded in doing the thing .
that I had hoped to do. However, I did pass up the. Nebraska-Kansas

Hilton and Isabel, along with Tom Van Cleave, Jre,

spd Vein tun, Gant isu dee, They are going on to Omaha to
spend the night with the Newcomers there. Mother did not care to make

the trip to Lincoln, as she is not that enthusiastic about the game.

She said that she would rather stay at home and spend her money on
sgn ig sinrap’ yoreyec ier I had arranged to some back on the bus after
the game, but I figured that I was so far behind in some of the necess-

ary things to do here at home, so I better stay here. The dope does
not favor Kansas, and I doubt if they will win, but I rather wanted to

get away for a day just to look at things from a distant viewpoint.

We greatly saprasinted your calling the other night.
I know of nothing that pepped Mother up quite as. much as your calling.
‘She is lonesome and homesick for you youngsters as well as for Bob and
Eleanor, and although she doesn't say much about it I can tell by her
conversation that she is pretty lenesome. She is bakingva cake for
Eleanor for her birthday Monday. Eleanor will be twenty years of age.
Mother said this morning when we were at breakfast that.it hardly seems
twenty years since she bad the first pain for Eleanor. ‘She said she
renembered it so well and how tired she was, nk. SENSES, See
she could go through with it.

I remember the occasion very well because the stadium k y
was not finished and the field was not in shape so we played at Haskell. 2

Anyhow, this is just a belated note to let you know
that we are thinking of you a lot, and we are so happy that you are
happy and pleased with your future.

By the way, I think it would be a fine thing if you
could write Mother again and invite her up. She feels her’ loyalty
to her home is too great, and I think she hates to leave the old
man alone. But that wouldn't bother’me a bit. I am intensely busy-
it seems busier than usual. I have been asked to write a basketball
a ee ae
know when I will make it.

Wie are playing DePaul in Chicago on January 31. I am
sending you a mimeographed copy of our basketball schedule. Of course
we will have tickets for you and the Mons family. So reserve that
date, but if Mother could come up before that time I kmow it would
, please her, although I doubt if she will. Anyhow, the fact that you
write and ask her will be helpful. ‘She could even run on from Chicago
to Philedelphia for Thanksgiving because. I know she wants to see the
Army-Nevy game. Why don't you propose it? It will be an impossibility
for me to get away from my basketball practice because we are going to
have tough going this year. Five of my players are out for football,
and three of them are three of the best I have. So it will be hard
work with the rest oi them, and taking over five from football will
be no easy task. Their fundamentals will have suffered, and it will
be a hard drive.

‘With lots of love, and here's hoping that everything
clicks with both of you one thousand per cent, I am

Affectionately, Your dad. 10d

Dear Sir:

I have been asked to be chairman of the Major Student Section
of the State P. E. Convention, and I believe I could plan a better
program if I could contact some of the new teachers in the field
and find out just what problems they have.

Would you help me to do this by giving me the names and ad-
dresses of five of your outstanding graduates who are now teaching
in Kansas? I would rather not have 1941 graduates as they probably
have not as yet figured out what their problems are; those with one,
two or three years of experience would be better.

| If any of these graduates ee speakers (with something to
say), would you star (#) their names? :

I appreciate your help in this matter.

The senate committee on examinations has
on file an application for examination in a course called
First Aid, 3 hours credit. The work was given by the Kansas
City(missouri) chapter of the American Red Cross. As the
committee does not have on hand questions prepared for this
sort of an examination it is necessary to have a set prepared.
Please indicate on the question sheet the time limit the
student should be allowed for completion of the examination.
The examination will be given under the supervision of the
committee and the papers will be sent you for grading and

Dear Miss Morrison,

I greatly appreciate your kindly motive in notifying the —
office of the dean of the School of Education regarding the
eutting of class on the part of Charles Black.

Miss Rich immediately notified me and I attempted to reach’
Charles. Charles was working at the city ice company, but I
failed to get him there last night due to their closing with
the oncome (of the cold weather.-

I called him out of bed at 7:30 this morning and I can assure
you that I made phe point that I was displeased and disappointed
in hime He gave the excuse that he had to prepare for speech
class under Professor Buehler. I made the observation that he
should spend more time on Miss Morrison's psychology because ¢ ~
was the thing that needed more attention than my friend, Profs
Bushler's, class and raat that he do so.
Of course I consider this a rather flimsy excuse, but I can |
pretty well assure you that we drove home the point to the
young man and I don't believe you will have any more trouble with
class-cutting by Charles. Y

| |.
Mrs. Black and I have conferred together a number of times regare
ding Charles’ temporary inconsistencies, but I am happy to
that I definitely feel that Charles will make a grand man he
faces the responsibilities of a more serious ‘life.

Again I want to thank you and assure you that I will enthusias-
tically cooperate in having him get out of college the nost
important things. /

Joe Kibler Is New
Garnett Coach

Owen Hired to Replace Masoner
But Accepted Position
At Chanute’

 

Coached at Oswego)

Has Attended N. Y. U., K. U. and
Pittsburg Teachers’ College;
Parents Early Settlers in
Anderson County

 

Joe Kibler, last year’s coach at
Oswego has been hired to replace Paul
Masoner as coach at the Garnett high
school for the coming year.

Last week, the school board hired
Harper D. Owen of Mound City to
replace Masoner, but Thursday night
the board was notified by Owen that
he had received a better offer to
coach at Chanute and would take
that position. Kibler was immediately
asked to fill the vacancy and he ac-
cepted the job Friday.

Kibler graduated from the Sedan
high school at Sedan, Kas., where he
lettered in football and basketball and
was named on the “all-star” confer-
ence football team as guard. He
attended New York University where
he played football and baseball, and
later received his Bachelor of Science
degree from Kansas State Teachers’
college where he played both football
and basketball. In his senior year
at Pittsburg he directed the school’s
intramural athletic program.

Kibler has majored in both phys-
ical education and industrial arts. He
has done graduate work towards his
masters’ degree in physical education
instruction in basketball coaching
under “Phog’” Allen.

He has had five years coaching ex-
perience, including work at Quenemo;
Bennington and Oswego. He resigned
from Oswego to accept the position
here at Garnett.

Kibler’s teams have won 18 out
of 22 games played in a season, won
runners up in the district tournaments
and runners up in county tournaments.

His parents were early settlers of
Anderson county, both attending
school in Garnett in the early ’80s and
both later taught in Anderson county.
He comes from a family of school
teachers since both his father and
sister were county superintendents of
Chatauqua for several years afte)
leaving Anderson county . 2

Kibler is married, and he and hi
wife will move to Garnett short]
after the completion of the summ,
session which he is now attending |

Dear Dr. Allen:

Enclosed find a clipping from the Garnett paper, which will explain
the coaching setup there for next year. I believe you are right
about Garnett going back to an Industrial Arts - Coach program,
although I am not certain about it.

Next summer I plan to go to school for work on my Masters. I feel
that the sooner I get it done the better will be the opportunities
for advancement in Physical Education. If things go right for me
I plan to get as much done as possible next summer and then take

a years leave of absence to finish up my work during the year of
19435 and 1944. Do you think that would be a better idea than only
during summer school work.

I have 129 hours plus three hours of Graduate work now. A question
came to my mind whether I could transfer five of my hours in Physical
Eduation toward my Masters' degree. There are several courses of
Physical Education that are Graduate courses which I have had. If
this could be done I have five hours of Modern History, which could
be used to fill out the 124 needed for my Bachelors degree.

I would appreciate hearing from you, pertaining to this work.

Please give my regards to my friends in the Physical Education

Department and to Mrs. Allen.

Paul Masoner
