sent to the physical education teacher. All these aside aids
secm to take up every spare moment, but I really love my job,
and I wouldn't trade it for any office job or teaching of
other subjects."

Splendidg’ My first reaction is to feel that Salina is a for-
tunate community to obtain a teacher who enters into her work
so wholcheartedlye I do know that parents and school admin-
istrators always appreciate this type of service that goes
with sincere teachinge

And now here are bits from another letter, This one comes
from Catherine Dunkel, who is in the high school at Coffey-
ville this year. In fact, her letter practically repeats the
news in a similar one from Lucille Bottom, who is also new in
Coffeyville. Here's what Catherine says, "I have some darling
girls in my class, and I'm so excited about their liking moe
They are dependable and work like Trojans, and I love working
for theme" Then she goes on - 2I was in charge of the con-
cession stand at the football game and we cleared $28 for
GeAeAe Now I'm working on a tea for Student Congress Conven=
tion. And also the faculty wives have asked me to give them
& swimming class, so I'm chalking that up on my schedulee

Well, Dre Allen, you've certainly been in physical education
long enough to know that teaching class schedules is almost
the smallest part of the things physical education teachers
are expected to doe And I think you are’ right in assuming
that it is easy for them to overdoe Now, here is a letter
from Irene Moll, who is beginning her work this year in Dodge
City high school. Perhaps you noticed an item in a recont
Journal«World describing the acclaim which greeted her pep
squad when they drilled between halves at a Dodge City foot-
ball gamee Here's the bit from Irene's letter = "Teaching is
fun, isn't it? I am sponsor of GeAedie, Soph. Class, Pep Club,
Girl Reserves, and Tumbling Team." Irene then describes hor
elasses in physical education, and finally adds, “It sounds
as if I have a lot of irons in the fire, but I'm learning to
organize my timee All my energies are toward one thing: to-
ing the best job of teaching I can, therefore I practically
eat, drink and sleep school." Another letter, from Esther
Gilkeson, repeats the same kind of news from Medicine Lodge
where she is teaching physical education and English.
