Tell us about it.
I would love to teach there! Hmmm.....
I was one year past the green line rule...as recently as 1979 there was a green line down the middle of main sidewalks on campus. Boys on one side, girls the other, no hand holding! My time at the college was OK. Although we were required to attend a certain number of religious and a certain number of patriotic or cultural convocations. My grades, mediocre. I had too many diversions...SDC, the theater I worked at, buddies, beer, smoke, and girls. Those were the days, or so I thought. I grew up and left the smoke and beer and chasing most of the girls behind. Finished college at Southeast Missouri State University, and enjoyed a 20 year radio broadcasting career in Missouri and Arkansas. Pretty cool though to have Ralph Foster Museum, Edwards Mill, and the tourist train on campus. Although I hated getting stuck in traffic behind the little train that showed parents and grandparents and tourists around campus. I have visited campus a few times over the years, and some things have changed and progressed, other things are exactly the same. It is a good school, and I am glad they brought back the elementary and high schools. Good for them. The college was the place for me to start my higher education, but I enjoyed my time at SEMO more, as there was more freedom to come and go. Less rules. No guy fresh out of his teens likes to follow rules! Anyway, I graduated from college, first in my family to do so. Little sister followed a few years later, graduating from SEMO, too.
