(cover) NEMOSCOPE SPECIAL EDITION (page 2) (page 3) We'd Send YOU an ENGRAVED INVITATION . . . . to attend the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College this fall. . . . BUT . . . . the cost for several thousand would be prohibitive and besides, we think you'd be more interested in seeing a pictorial booklet about the school. SO . . . . we have assembled pictures of representative activities of the College, to give you an idea of the sort of life you may expect to lead for the next four years if you enroll this fall. HOWEVER . . . . you may want more detailed information. If so, write Walter H. Ryle, President, Northeast Missouri State Teachers College, Kirksville, Missouri.

The fellow with the big smile in front of the door is Mr. Maddox, Assistant Professor of Physical Education. This College is renowned for the friendliness of its faculty and the personal interest taken in each student. (page 6) [photo caption] This beautiful building was erected to the memory of John R. Kirk, one of the nation's outstanding educators. Dr. Kirk was president of the College for 26 years. Directly behind this building is the Sunken Garden--a spot of perpetual loveliness.

Pink (40) out-reaches his opponents in taking a rebound off the bank-board in the Kirksville-Whittier game at the N.A.I.B. Tournament in Kansas City. Basketball at the Teachers College has taken the lime light in the field of sports this year. The Bulldogs, thanks to Illinois, are the strongest team that the College has ever had. The M.I.A.A. Championship was, for the last several years, thought of but never taken. This year the Bulldogs ripped and tore their way through to the Championship with only one defeat, by Springfield. Dodd, an expert ball handler and shot, and Gallatin, center and tipster artist, were chosen All- Conference. Lewis was picked for the second team, and Semanek and Pink were given honorable mention in the All-Conference election. These were the most players ever picked and mentioned for Kirksville in the M.I.A.A. election. The coaches, Boyd King and Jimmy Dougherty, deserve a tremendous amount of credit for coaching and controlling such an expert group of ball players as these. The Bulldogs, through their great ability as a team, received the coveted honor of playing in the N.I.A.B. in Kansas City, an honor which has never before been bestowed on the Kirksville Cagers. They won their first two games, defeating Cleveland, Mississippi, 76-58, and their second game, Whittier, California, 51-49, and lost their third game to Flagstaff, Arizona, 59-55, which eliminated them from the N.I.A.B., but not without a gallant struggle from the Bulldogs.

Courses are scheduled with a ten- minute break between classes to enable students to get from one building to the other. This scene was once the site of a lake. (page 16) One of the most popular subjects of students today are the commercial courses. This College has an enviable record in the preparing of successful commercial graduates. It is one of the oldest of teacher training schools in the work of preparing business teachers, and the instructors are recognized leaders in their field. Graduates of this department have the double advantage of being equipped to teach the subject, or enter the business field and apply their knowledge of bookkeeping, typing, shorthand, business law, and allied subjects to some particular position. In the fall of 1947 more students will be enrolled in institutions of higher learning than ever before. You should make every possible effort to be part of that great student body. (page 17) [photo caption] PRESIDENT WALTER H. RYLE Never before in the history of mankind has there been such a demand for educated citizens as exists today. Farsighted leaders in every field of human endeavor are desperately needed to sustain our democratic way of life. This is especially true in the field of teaching. The public is becoming aroused to the need for better prepared teachers. And the demand for better teachers is producing wonderful opportunities in this field. --W. H. R. [photo caption] L. A.
