Dear Miss Baker:

I em very sorry that we just haven't anyone to suggest
fox bite wnaniay oh Pattie Oreck. Most of the boys are going
' inte the physical education programs under the direotion of
Gene Tunney in the Navy, or in the Army, or Army mechanics.
- I heve talked to Ralph Miller, and a mumber of other boys,
pak Gag ea STL. pee inte Giese Jobe, or ti ctvilion Jobe
until they are drafted.

Where they can enlist, they are doing that. All the
boys are looking toward the service. I don't know what the
schools will do for teachers - we are in the same fix here
with our faculty. —

you more fully some time later. I do appreciate your writing
me and em sorry that 1 have no one to suggest.
