Entertain -Seniors 
At Annual Banquet 
The college seniors were enter-
tained by the alumni of Madison 
College' on the evening of August 
16 in the cafeteria. The original 
plan was to hold the entertain-
ment on the lawn at Dr. Bowes' 
home, but rainy weather inter-
fered, and made it necessary to 
change the place to the cafeteria. 
The alumni brought in a bounti-
ul suppfy of food in individual 
covered dishes, which lasted until 
most of the hungry men had had 
"seconds." 
Dr. Bowes, master of cermonies, 
introduced a program that was as 
good as the food. The first number 
was a ladies' trio composed of 
Connie Rimmer, JoAnn Gibbons, 
and Eulene Borton. 
This was followed by "The Tad-
pole Song," sung by Mrs. Frederec 
Cothren. Felix Lorenz, Jr., then 
sang "Old Man River." Vincent 
Mitzelfelt and Billy Burks followed 
with a trombone and accordion 
duet. 
A talented newcomer on the 
campus, 
Miss 
Laura 
Slattery, 
helped with the program with a 
vocal number. 
The string trio consisting of 
Mrs. Thornton and Mr. and Mrs. 
Mitzelfelt, accompanied by Joyce 
Christensen, brought the curtain 
down on an evening greatly en-
joyed by the guests. 
The seniors then lined up and 
let everyone know who they were 
and what their plans were for the 
future. 
President Jasperson, Dean Sand-
born, and the class sponsors-Mr. 
and Mrs. Bowen and Mr. and Mrs. 
Voorhies-gave the farewell ad-
dresses and wished the graduating 
class success in their chosen pro-
fessions. 
Wishes were expressed that as 
these seniors have reached the 
goal they have worked hard to 
attain they may also be successful 
in attaining their final goal in 
heaven.

Sri Sadly, A SeniDr 
I remember my college school 
days. I remember when I first came 
here four years ago. I remember 
registration day and the long line 
of red tape I had to go through 
in order to get registered. I re-
member the first week or two, and 
how lonely I was. I remember the 
first formal reception I went to at 
college. I think that was the first 
time I permitted mys~li to say, 
"I really like it here,~ · 
I remember the vesper services 
on Friday evening, the \ ·ond.erful 
songs we sang, the special music. 
I remember the many good Mis-
sionary Volunteer Meetings we 
had. 
I remember the 
student 
leaders. I'm sure they niust have 
worked hard to provide such good 
meetings for us. The best things 
about those M.V. ·Meetings was the 
organ meditations just at sundown. 
I remember how quiet and rever-
ent everyone was. 
I remember all my classes-.ana-
tomy, psychology, education, and 
yes, even history. I enjoyed them 
all, I enjoyed preparing for them. 
I enjoyed those daily quizzes. I 
enjoyed 
everything 
about 
my 
school work. 
I remember the student-faculty 
day each year at college. I was 
among those chosen to fill an ex-
ecutive office one year. I remember 
how much fun we had in the ad-
ministration of the college for 
that one day. 
I remember the annual school 
picnics. Everyone always had so 
much fun at them. 
I remember everything about my 
college days, especially the won-
derful teachers who worked untir-
ingly to help us in our classes. 
And now the time has come for 
me to leave the doors of Madison 
College. For four years I have 
studied here-four happy, memor-
able years, and now as graduation 
is almost here I find it rather hard 
to leave; but God calls me, and I 
must go. 
I shall always remember Madi-
son, its teachers, its fine program, 
its 
Christian 
atmosphere. 
God 
grant that I may ever hold its 
ideals before me in my life.
