1937-38 NSTC Student & Faculty Directory -- Have you ever wondered what businesses were around the square, on College Avenue and along the street (Normal Street) that ran in front of the Castle on the Hill, in the small, rural community of Alva, Oklahoma back in the mid-1930s?

According to the 1937-38 Student directory of NSTC, published by the Delta Sigma Epsilon Sorority, we have found a few businesses that advertised in this 1937-38 Northwestern State Teachers College directory that the Delta Sigma Epsilon, Delta Chapter compile of the students and faculty during those mid-thirty years.

In compiling the roster of college students and faculty members the Delta Chapter tried to give the information most sought after by both those affiliated with the college and the townspeople. They published their 1937-38 Directory with the hope that it would be of service to all. The names of all the students whose schedule cards were checked to the Dean's office on Friday, September 17, 1938 were included in the directory.
