Nile C. Kinnick High School in Japan correspondence and photographs, 1960-1968

September 17, 1962
Mr. Douglas M. Spaulding
Vice Principal
Nile C. Kinnick High School
Yokohama, Japan
Dear Mr. Spaulding:
We did indeed receive the 1962 Annual
and appreciated again the opportunity of seeing the faces
of the fine young people who make up the Nile Kinnick High
student body and reviewing the activities of the past year.
We always enjoy hearing from you and are glad that you can
find time to include us in the circle of people who want to
know 'what goes on'.    Thanks so much for the year book.
In regard to a picture to enlarge for
the main foyer, we are sending two clear prints and three
other items that may be of interest.
1. A picture in Navy uniform. We don't know who took
this photo, probably the Navy.    Evidently after completion of training.
2. The plain clothes picture was by Harris & Ewing in
Washington, January 1940, when Nile went there to
receive the Walter Camp trophy offered by the Touch
Down Club of Washington D.C.
3. The picture in football garb was taken at the University of Iowa in 1939.
4. The sketch was made by Robert Mills of the Chicago
News staff, and the caption below the print is by
James Kearns of the News sports staff.    Kearns spent
many week ends following the Iowa team in 1939 and
apparently developed a liking for Nile.
5. In 1944 Supreme Court Justice Rutledge spoke before
the Chicago Bar Association, paying tribute to the
late Dean Wigmore of Northwestern University and to
Nile.    Jim Kearns wrote the piece that is reproduced
in the photostat.
If one of the above will serve your purpose for the picture, please use it. And if the others
will be useful to you in any way you may keep them too.
With our kindest regards, and thanks
again for your letter and the year book.
Sincerely
Nile C. Kinnick, Sr.
Mrs. Nile C. Kinnick
