Mr. Bob Meredith, 429 Elm Street, Washington, Moe Dear Bobs Your very good letter of the 24th instant just arrived at my desk this morning upon my return from a week at the Iowa High School Coaches Association coaching school where Clark Shaughnessy of Stenford, Bernie Bierman of Minne- sota, Henry Iba and I were on the teaching faculty. It pleases me to kmow that you have made such de- finite progress toward a fine career for the future. It is a great pleasure to work with a young man of your ability and vision. I told Mrs. Hulteen this morning that it gave me more pleasure to have contacts with a fine young man such as you are then the contacts that I often make with some of my athletes who feel that they need just a little more wet-nursing. As i told you last spring, you earned your money and you were very dependable. It is a pleasure to have people like you around our organisation. We certainly shall try to have a@ position for you when you return the second semester. The work that you are doing is a fine experience for you and when you re- turn to school you will even do better than you have done in the past. And I recognize that your past work has been a source of pride to you and, I am sure, a pleasure to your instructors. With all good wishes for your continued success and happiness, I am Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education and Recreation, FCA:AH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach. . hoes bt 27% 9 hae fugust 50, 1941, In clearing up some of my files which have been listed for attention weeks and even months ago, I find your letter When Mrs~ Hulten left ‘se last August I spent quite iis Seed ahidbiaial Yee eoccemamans Her name was Miss Lauretta berger. I impressed upon Miss Gerstenberger the thought that I wanted to engage some one who would stay with me quite some time. Miss Gerstenberger had worked for John Stutz, and had three years work in the University in domestic science. She was one of the Eudora Gersten- bergers. her that unless the young lady agreed to stay at ans Oe uc ee > lieved in the institution of marriage, but for the work hore I wanted St casld coms ak fie am Gubdailad papteds She assured me that she had no thought of getting married. Sho was married May Ist. That made eight months for her. ee aaa ee Christian- et ree i £9 job he took it, of course, and with it changed the decisions of the young lady. in fairness to Miss Gerstenborger I might say that her young gentleman friend was also in the draft but he went to 4nnapolis on the short course and got an ensign's job out of it, so that changed her ideas. This defense program really is working wonders} : Now Mrs. Hulteen is with us at the present time and she is writing this letter, but it is only for thirty days, although I wish it were for as many years. Mrs. Hulteen is breaking in Polly Gowans, who just graduated from the University with Phi Beta Kappa honorse She i ee ee ee & Ottawa High School, and I believe she will make a very capable secretary. My strategy in choosing a younger girl is that I believe it will take them at least two years to get lined up. These other girls were older. I wouldn't say on the anxious margin, but at the same time these younger ones have more years to go. You mention Ruth Pyle. Did I tell you that I offered her the dance job and I talked to her physician and found out that her heart was not affected nearly as much as represented. One of my good friends on the faculty at Rosedale talked to this doctor and he stated it would have been a good thing for her to have taken this job. ‘So I believe that you have been wasting some ) injured her here. The dostor who had been caring for her said that this was something that came to her long before her school days at the Univer sity. I felt moh better after having that information, especially after what you hed told me previously. . regarding —— She was going splendidly at ‘Wyundotte wad Mise 8, Barnett was hor eading guide and counsel, She dated with Mise Barnett regularly, then something happened, whether Miss : Barnett got jealous of her, or whether Maxyne slipped a cog, I do not know, But Mexyne ceme to see mo and asked my help. I went to Super- intendent Schlagle and to Principal Wellemeyer end had the cooperation of Tom Van Cleave, Sra, who is a momber of the boards They told me that she was just impossible and that they would have to demote her which they did some time after Christmas, and then they let her out in June. I remember your telling me how good she was one day and how poor the next. Well, that caught up with her end it happened in such @ way that I could not help her» I do mot know what she is doing at ‘the present time, but 1t would be hagardous, I am efraid, to recommend her for another trial, She had been in a small sehool and then had catapulted to Vyendotte. She had the opportunity of her career, but she didn't see it. You asked about Mrs. Hulteen and I mst tell you that she has two fine children and she is only helping me out because things were in such a mess after tro nervous pre-brides got through shuffling the correspondence that a sleight of hand dealer could not have worked —— out. So we called on Mra. Bulteen. George is a postal clerk and doing splendidly, but the fact that Sam Moyer, the supervisor of mails, was called into the National Guard, upset things a down there at the postoffice. Moyor's substitute is endeavoring to do on less help end in that way hes out down om the hours for all, This naturally works a hardship on all the boys, but since he is the None 7 Gunes Whey Wil) Just have to wale wnets fim omens or Tihs fellow gets siok. tas whist Indie i Qk Matton: aekts to Otte tenn ; old today, end she is a dendy.

He was working on his master's degree, and only the other day he was selected dom at Alebema Poly at $2600, So all these young physical education students are really going places in the defense set-up.

Track naturally will suffer due to Bill's injury, but it has been almost as low as it could get for the past three years. Our basketball team lost Howard Englemen, John Kline, Bobby Allen, fd Hall, Norman Senneman, and Jim Arnold.

Perhaps it will be a good thing for these youngsters to get awey from home and learn what life is like away from every parental service and Cares finish next summer.
