Dear Mr. Allen,

I have received your letter and also the physical education catalog. I have re-
ceived the other K.U. c,talogs also. Thank you.

In regard to the course which I wish to choose, I have decided not to try for a
B.eSe degree in physical education. In high school I have planned a course along the
engineering line, especially aeronautical engineering. I've also given much considera-
tion to accounting, since its requisites are, more or less, natural to me. I have con=
sulted several of the professors around school and also some of my friends, and they
all seemed to be of the opinion that my career should be along the lines of engineering,
or as second choice accounting. I prefer to take aeronautical engineering above all.

I was very grateful for the letter I received from you. I'm still very much enthused
over going to college, and I prefer K.U. Something that might help me in gaining en-
trance to K.U. is my scholastic ability. I'm not at the top of my class, but I'm in the
upper portion of it. My grades all average well over 90. Every year of my junior high
school and senior high school career I have been given a scholarship pin. If you want
any references, write me and I'll be glad to send them to you.

I am hoping to hear from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

“lebih
