Dear Professor Allen:

I understand there is to be an opening in your
office sometime during the summer and should like to make
application for the position.

I was graduated from the Eudora Rural High School
in 1951, completed a course in secretarial training at the
Lawrence Business College in about one year and four months,
and have just finished three years of work at the University
of Kansase

My first experience included about two months tempe
work at the Fraternal Aid Union (now called the Standard Lif
Association). My duties were stenographic in nature, con-=
sisting of a good deal of typing and getting acquainted with
office routine.

For six months I worked for the League of Kansas
Municipalities, located in Fraser Hall, University of Kansase
The first two months were part-time, and the remainder full-
time. I did stenographic work which included a small amount
of bookkeeping and proof-reading in addition to typing, dicta
tion and filing. | |

In October, 19535 I accepted a position with the
Kansas Emergency Relief Committee (now called the State Departer
ment of Social Welfare) in Topeka. For two years I worked as ™@
stenographer in the 5ocial Service Department. My duties in-
cluded dictation; typing; keeping records; writing of approva.
and disapprovals of county poor commissioners, case supervisor
case workers; writing up timesheets for payrolls; taking dicta
tion from district supervisors and writing their reports; and
numerous other duties. The emergency relief load during these
two years was at its peak and the work was very heavye It was ||
my responsibility to set up new files and also to train several?
new girls to aid us with the work. a
