One newspaper clipping from the Chicago Herald and Examiner entitled Their Essays Win High Prize Awards dated May 14, 1932. The article features thirteen portraits of essay contest winners including Paul Hlobik on the top right corner. The contest was the George Washington Essay contest sponsored by William Randolph Hearst. Paul won third place in class two for any person between age 16 and 21.

Paul H. Lobik changed his last name from Hlobik between June and August of 1936. As a result the earlier letters in his collection are addressed to Paul Hlobik and the later letters are addressed to Paul. H. Lobik. To remain constant and honor his choice of name he is listed in all letters as Paul H. Lobik.
