THE INDEPENDENCE HIGH SCHOOLS E. R. STEVENS, Principal J. S. MILLIGAN, Acting Vice Principal E. R. BEVAN, Vice Principal INDEPENDENCE, KANSAS ‘March 25, 1942 Coach "Phog" Allen Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allen: I am writing to you at the request of Jimmie Sherman, a boy who is to graduate from our high school this spring, and who plans to attend Kansas University next fall. Jimmie is a better than average student, and a boy who lives and breathes basketball. He is a pretty fair player who wants to con- tinue in the game at your school. He has pos- sibilities as a basketball player and wants to make your acquaintance. Jim plans to call at your office around April 5, and if possible, I hope you can ar- range to see him personally. Very truly yours, Le~an/ E. R. Bevan, Vice Principal Independence High School Independence, Kansas
