Student Nurse of Madison College. 
The winner of the 1959 title, 
Mrs. Student Nurse of Madison 
College, is 
Mrs. 
Lila Ring, a 
senior. The 
ann'ouncement was 
made in chapel on November 16 
by Mrs. Virginia Sellars. 
Mrs. Ring was chosen for this 
honor by her fellow students be-
cause of her friendliness, leader-
ship, enthusiasm, and that "extra 
something" which makes her the 
warm, sympathetic, and under-
standing nurse that she is. 
Having always been active in 
student affairs, Mrs. Ring has held 
the following offices since she has 
been at Madison: snapshots editor 
<>f the Cumberland Echoes, secre-
tary of the girls' club (Delta Nu 
Zeta), pastor of the girls' club, 
assistant treasurer of the Nursing 
Club, and assistant Sabbath school 
superintendent. She is also cur-
rently the program chairman for 
District Three of the Tennessee 
Association of Student Nurses. 
Mrs. Ring will compete with 
students from each of the other 
five nursing schools of the district 
for the title Miss Nashville Stu-
dent Nurse. The district winner 
will in turn compete for the state 
title. The student so honored is 
chosen as an outstanding repre-
sentative of the nurse of tomorrow.

Class Visits Shiloh Battlefield 
The 
American 
history 
class 
spent the day of November 11 
visiting the Shiloh battleground, 
of Civil War fame, located near 
Pittsburg 
Landing, 
Tennessee, 
about 130 miles southwest of Nash-
ville. 
Evangelism Class 
Conducts Meetings 
The 40 members of Mr. Gulley's 
evangelism class planned and pre-
sented an eight-night evangelistic 
campaign in Nashville. 
On opening night, 50 persons, 
in addition to the regular church 
members, came to view the anti-
cigarette film, "One in Twenty 
Thousand," showed by Dr. R. R. 
Bowes, who also gave the seven 
signs for cancer and some practi-
cal information on this subject. 
Night after night a busload of 
students went down town to hear 
fellow students lead out in the 
singing, playing, and speaking. All 
in attendance heard Madison stu-
dents preach with enthusiasm, pre-
sent health talks with practical 
helps, and man the entire program 
with a devotion to duty that im-
(Continued on page 3) 
It was the Northern victory on 
the second day of fighting at 
Shiloh, on April 7, 1862, that 
paved the way for the fall of 
Vicksburg, which broke the back 
of the war and brought Union 
victory. 
After viewing a. film of the 
battle, "Shiloh-Portrait of a Bat-
tle," the class toured the inter-
esting battlefield, seeing the site 
of the first camp hospital ever 
used on this continent, the exact 
tree where Johnston (Confederate 
leader) died, the old sunken road 
where N orth~rn men gallantly 
held out the first day, and the 
longest line of cannon ( 63 in num-
ber) ever used up to that time. 
There are more than 300 Civil 
War cannons on the battlefield, 
and original trees still bear the 
markings of the fury of the battle. 
Twenty American history stu-
dents enjoyed the field trip, very 
appropriately taken on Veterans' 
Day. Mr. Gulley, their teacher, 
pointed out to them that all can 
"thank God for the unity v.;hich 
emerged strengthened from the 
forge of encounter, a unity which 
was necessary to cradle the Sev-
enth-day Adventist denomination 
in its infancy."

battlefield where Confederate General A. s. Johnston was killed. 
Melting snow, frosty breath 
upon the crisp air, and the bril-
liant stars overhead gave an aura 
of enchantment to the cafeteria on 
Sunday night, November 29, as it 
became the banquet room for the 
Delta N u Zeta reception. 
Background music, provided by 
Roy Steck, . greeted the guests as 
they entered. The tables, with 
t h e i r beautiful centerpieces of 
spruce, pine cones, snow, and can-
dles, gave luster to the decorated 
banquet room. A winter scene 
painted by Victor Rivera and 
Christmas trees covered with blue 
lights completed the decorations. 
After everyone had enjoyed the 
attractively served meal, President 
Nita Lanham extended greetings 
and welcomed the guests. The 
evening's :£estivities were then 
turned over to Mistress of Cer-
emonies Lila Ring. 
Pat Ricks, Dorothy Graham, and 
Carolyn Holder set the mood for 
the evening with the song "Winter 
Wonderland," 
accompanied 
by 
Mary Lou Sullins. "Angel's Sere-
nade" was played by Rowena Felt 
on her violin. Dorothy Chase gave 
the reading, "Janice ' Entertains 
Her Sister's Beau." 
"Frosty the Snowman" was a 
clever little novelty number by 
Juanita Mercado as Frosty and 
Dorothy Maxwell as soloist. Janet 
Huff and her stuffed dog "Shorty" 
brought gales of laughter with the 
amusing reading, "Coon Hunting 
in Moonshine Holler." 
The two closing numbers of this 
part of the program were "Silver 
Bells," played on the Bell Lyre by 
Lorraine 
Fields, 
with 
Darlene 
C 1 o s s e r 
accompanying, 
a n d 
"Granada," sung in Spanish by 
Ruth Perrales. 
The rest of the program was 
given in the Assembly Hall. Those 
taking part in the skit, "Colossal 
Coeds," 
were 
Donna 
Auge 
as 
Lizzy, Darlene Syvertson as Tizzy, 
and Carole Franklin as Dizzy. Ida 
Gordon was the Dean of Women, 
and Pat Mendenhall the narrator. 
Janice 
Quarnstrom gave 
her 
reading "Higher Culture" on the 
scrubboard. Jo Anderson's solo, 
"A Perfect Day," was a perfect 
ending for a perfect evening.

Work-sometimes shunned by the wealthy, often 
performed because we are forced to work, and 
occasionally spoken of a plague by the younger 
of us-was ordained of God in the Garden of Eden. 
Everyone works at Madison College, even the 
president. Our school educates the heart, the rhind, 
and the hand. In our own campus community we 
find opportunities to learn farming, which is the 
A, B, and C of education, building construction, 
electronics, electrical w o r k , ·mechanics, cabinet 
making, painting, baking, clerking, telephone operat-
ing, welding, manufacture of health foods, shoe · 
repairing, and many other things so vital to the well 
being of everyone. 
None of us should consider our work drudgery. 
It is not drudgery to have to work one's way through 
school. It is rather an opportunity to learn to per-
form the practical duties of life, duties which will 
fall to all of us in our life's work. 
PHIL SANFORD 
That chapel announcement telling us girls to watch 
the bulletin board the next day, had us puzzled. 
After classes on Thursday we made a mad scramble 
for the dorm and the bulletin board and there we 
found it-an invitation from the Wasiota Forum to 
go on a hayride, at 6:45. 
That hour found the students, attired in slacks, 
pedal pushers, jeans, big heavy coats, and warm quilts 
all waiting for the tractor to bring the wagon-or 
wagons, as there were two of them. Dreams of a soft, 
comfortable ride on hay were shattered as we piled 
into the second wagon-filled half full of unshucked 
corn. At every bump in the road, cries were heard, 
"I'm going to be all full of dents, as well as black and 
blue, for a month." 
The lumpy-bumpy ride ended at a huge bonfire in 
the middle of a field, where everyone piled out and 
soon began toasting marshmallows. 
On the return trip it seems that the driver hit 
every hole in the road, and 9: 15 found stiff, sore, and 
shaky girls climbing off the wagons and staggering to 
their respective dorms. Within half an hour the dorm 
was more quiet than it usually is at 11:30 at night. 
Even though we are still bruised and sore from the 
ride, we wish to thank Stan Dovich and the Wasiota 
Forum for the evening of relaxation and fun in the 
fresh evening air. 
We also extend thanks to Mrs. Stearns, our interest-
ing guest speaker at .a recent club meeting, who gilve 
us some pointers on etiquette. We were glad to learn 
the proper way to do this·and that. We were amused 
as she read to us from an etiquette book from our 
great-grandmothers' days, and couldn't help being 
glad that we lived in 1959. 
The men of Gotzian Home appreeiate the silhouettes 
of Thanksgiving scenes which were made and put in 
the parlor windows by Mrs. Fragola, our dean's wife. 
They were a constant reminder of the Thanksgivjng 
season and our country's first Thanksgiving. 
The six new modern chairs in Wasiota's parlor 
surely do give the room a brighter, more comfortable 
look. 
The Wasiota Forum treated the Delta Nu Zeta 
Forum to a hayride Thursday, November 19. The 
bonfire was just the remedy for cold feet and hands. 
I'm sure that everyone had a good time, even though 
an overflow crowd showed up. 
Juan Anglada, Marlyn Kurtz, and Joe McAllister 
went to Harbert Hills Wednesday, November 25, to 
look the unit over. These young men may decide to . 
work there next quarter. 
What is it we see coming, almost just around the 
corner? Christmas vacation. Many of us who didn't 
get home for Thanksgiving are fortunate enough to 
be able to go then. 
White-clad figures hurrying to and fro through 
swinging doors is not ordinarily an unfamiliar sight 
around the sanitarium and college, but it is when 
the doors belong to the academy gymnasium, when 
the usual dignified sounds are replaced by laughter 
and gaiety, and when the odor of anesthetics and 
disinfectants is likewise replaced by the tantalizing 
aroma of food. 
On Tuesday evening, November 17, a group of 
nurses and aides from the various floors welcomed 
the opportunity to r~lax together and enjoy an old-
fashioned pot luck supper, followed by a round of 
volley ball and other games. With Thanksgiving as 
the theme, the ~ursing Department social committee 
(Mrs. Sellars, Pat Grismore, and Mary Faye Draughon) 
had decorated the table very attractively in autumn 
eolors. 
Several of the floors were identified by lapel deco-
rations which their workers wore. The Obstetrical 
Floor workers each wore a card picturing a stork 
carrying a little black bag, while those from Surgical 
Wing were appropriately identified by the picture 
of a pair of bandage scissors which they wore. 
Although several of those present were on duty 
and could stay only for the meal, everyone enjoyed 
the get-together. 
Special-from the Operating Room 
RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT 
By ISABELLE Y. ALTENBRUN AND LILA M. RING 
Behold Gene Wheeler, hero! Intrepid soul is he! 
All ready now for surgery, he's scrubbed till quite 
germ free. 
Before him lies the patient, draped, shaped, and 
scrubbed as well-
A radio celebrity-or so I have heard tell. 
"Knife!" yells the surgeon grimly. "And hurry, if 
you please." 
Poor Gene, our valiant hero, is shaking at the knees. 
The operation's started with promise of success, 
And things are going smoothly, and at their very best. 
But-let us see what's happening to our first hand 
scrub 
As the blood he suctions with the rub and with a dub. 
"Timber!" shouts our hero. "I'm feeling mighty faint: 
Urple, purple!" So he plunks-and now he simply 
"ain't."

Group from Canada 
Here for Weekend 
Madison College-and Canadian 
students in particular-welcomed 
to the campus for a weekend a 
group of former Madison students 
who are now· employed at the 
North York Branson Hospital in 
Willowdale, Ontario, Canada. 
The welcome visitors were last 
year's 
ASMC 
president, 
John 
Dovich, Miss Luramay Epp, Mr. 
and Mrs. David Warner, Virginia 
Warner, and Davina Warner. 
John Dovich is currently en-
rolled in the X-ray Course at the 
new 
Canadian 
hospital. 
David 
Warner, Madison College Medical 
Technology graduate of 1959, is 
a laboratory technician there, his 
sister Virginia, Medical Records 
graduate, works in the Record 
office, and Davina also is employed 
at the hospital. 
The North York Branson Hospi-
tal, a 165-bed institution, is con-
ducting 
t h e 
first 
Seventh-day 
Adventist school of nursing in 
Canada. Now in construction are 
a nurses' dormitory and class-
rooms to accommodate 60 student 
nurses annually. This school of 
nursing will be approved and 
accredited by the government. 
Thanksgiving Brings

The Kunau family entertained 
over the Thanksgiving weekend 
Mr.

(parents of Dorothy) and son, of 
Gentry, Arkansas, and also Hershel 
Mercer of Keene, Texas. 
On 
Thanksgiving 
evening 
a 
group of students and the guests 
gathered around the piano and 
sang songs. The young people wno 
enjoyed the Kunaus' hospitality, 
in addition to the guests, were

John Treu, and Claudia Kunau. 
Let's Get Acquainted. . . Mrs. Sossong 
by MONTY GEORGESON 
MRs. FRIEDA SossoNG 
To interview Mrs. Sossong while 
she is preparing the food for the 
menu of the day is no small feat. 
To her falls the task of serving 
appetizing and wholesome food to 
more than 300 students three times 
a day. 
Mrs. Sossong is not new to 
students of Madison College, for 
the Sossong family arrived on the 
campus in August, 1957, from 
Tacoma, Washington. 
The Sossongs have a son and a 
daughter. Norman is a science 
major at Walla Walla College and 
Juanita is a college freshman here 
Elder Lorenz Spends 
Week at Echo Valley 
Elder Felix A. Lorenz, head of 
the Department of Religion, has 
recently returned from conducting 
the Week of Prayer at Echo Valley 
Academy, Wytheville, Virginia. 
During the week Elder Lorenz 
developed the theme, "Into the 
Depths," beginning with Christ's 
words to Peter, "Launch out into 
the deep," and leading the stu-
dents during the week into the 
depths of the subjects of Repent-
ance, Prayer, F a it h , Surrender, 
Service. 
Eder Lorenz reports that student 
response was good and that all 
who 
had 
not previously been 
baptized declared themselves pub-
licly and are joining the baptismal 
class conducted by the pastor, 
Elder Steinman. 
This school, the only Seventh-
day Adventist academy within 200 
miles and the newest of self-sup-
porting academies, was founded 
and is supported by the medical 
group at the Wytheville Hospital. 
During this, its first year of opera-
tion, it has an enrollment of 39 
in grades seven through eleven. 
Of special interest to Madison 
students is the fact that two of 
its teachers are Madison graduates 
-Floyd McDaniel, Class of 1956, 
and Alvin Barham, Class of 1959. 
The principal of the academy is 
Mr. Henry Hansen, father of Madi-
son's Bob Hansen. Floyd teaches 
typing and bookkeeping in addi-
tion to conducting the business 
end of the hospital, and Alvin 
teaches history, Bible, agriculture, 
and physical education. S i n c e 
Floyd has been there the longest, 
he has earned the title of "Prof." 
Alvin's wife, Ramona, is nursing 
at the Wytheville Hospital. 
at Madison. Mr. Sossong's work as 
superintendent of grounds 
has 
been greatly appreciated since he 
came to Madison. 
Since corning to Madison Mrs. 
Sossong has been assistant dean 
of women and also secretary to 
Professor Zeigler. She confesses 
that in her weaker moments she 
wishes she were still grading 
P. and A. papers. 
In June of this year, when Mrs. 
Olga Lorenz resigned as matron 
of the cafeteria, Mrs. Sossong 
was asked to fill the vacant posi· 
tion. Upon accepting she was told 
that no matter how much a matron 
did for the students, they would · 
never show their appreciation. 
However, Mrs. Sossong says she 
has found the students very ready 
to tell her how they enjoy differ-
ent dishes she has prepared and 
how they appreciate her flowers 
and decorations for the tables. 
She works long hours, from 
early morning till late at night, 
planning meals a month in advance 
and performing the countless du-
ties of a cafeteria matron. But 
she says she derives a satisfaction 
from her work and is happy to be 
serving others. 
Education Classes 
Visit Museums and 
Historic Fort 
The social studies and reading 
classes enjoyed a field trip to the 
Children's Museum, Nashville Prod-
ucts Company, the State Museum, 
and Fort Nashboro. 
At the Children's Museum, visit-
ed by as many adults as children, 
the scale model of a portion of 
Nashville and the Conservation 
Display, depicting soil erosion be-
fore and after something had been 
done to correct it, attracted atten-
tion. The animals were also fasci-
nating, but most of the girls were 
glad that the snakes were behind 
glass. 
The Nashville Products Com-
pany, a veritable teachers' paradise, 
showed the future teachers the 
books, maps, pictures, models, and 
other supplies available for the 
teacher of today. 
Although the State Museum is 
undergoing 
reconstruction, 
t h e 
classes were able to see almost 
everything. The visit was a visual 
course in the history of Tennessee 
and of pioneer days. 
The final stop was at Fort Nash-
boro, named for Francis Nash, a 
North Carolina general. The city 
of Nashville maintains the fort 
and furnishes a curator who keeps 
it open to the public. Visitors and 
tourists find it a constant source 
of interest. 
Those who went on the trip 
were Mrs. Betty Harter, teacher, 
'Lyn Taylor, Mary Silvers, Doris

Concert Band Presents 
First Program 
The Madison College Concert 
Band, under the baton of Patricia 
Silver, presented its first formal 
concert of the year on Saturday 
evening, November 21. 
On the program were outstand-
ing marches, including William 
Latham's "Brighton Beach Concert 
March," Henry Fillmore's "The 
Footlifter," and Meacham's "Ameri-
can Patrol." 
Besides a saxophone s o I o b y 
Harold Iles, a cornet trio by the 
College Trio, and a clarinet duet, 
other special features included a 
group of marimba selections played 
by Shirley Eldridge, of t h c 
Southern Publishing Association, 
and a special drum solo by Elder 
W. E. Dopp, the new MV secretary 
for the Kentucky-Tennessee Con-
ference. 
Other numbers enjoyed espe-
cially by the audience were "The 
Big Top Overture" by Bowles, . 
"Born to be Free" (a joint choir 
number), by Williams, and the 
"Gypsy Baron," by Johann Strauss. 
DID YOU KNOW 
That a drinking fountain once 
stood between Gotzian Home 
and

Formerly 
there was an old windmill on

was lime and sulphur water, 
and students, so we are told, 
did not enjoy its taste.

Friday the thirteenth

a 
I u c k y day 
for 
approximately 
one-third of the college freshman 
class. Thirty-nine freshmen and 
their sponsors-Mr. Lynd and Mr. 
Dickman-spent a 
weekend 
at 
Fletcher Academy in North Caro-
lina. 
This was the second of these 
trips to self-supporting schools 
planned annually to acquaint fresh-
men with the work of the units, 
or small schools and medical insti-
tutions, for which Madison was 
established to train workers. 
On 
Friday night at vespers 
Wayne Hayes, class pastor, pre-
sented four Madison College fresh-
men-Pauline Romo, Terry Trivett, 
Janice 
Quarnstrom, 
and Frank 
Johnson-who told why they are 
at Madison and what work they 
are preparing for. 
On Sabbath afternoon Harry 
Georgeson had charge of the MV 
program. 
Seven 
students 
gave 
musical numbers and readings on 
the theme of autumn and Thanks-
giving. Those participating were 
Gene Wheeler, John Bryant, John 
Villenueve. 
Rebecca 
Crittenden, 
Loraye Long, Sandra Young, Carol 
Cantrell, and Harry Georgeson. 
It was the first time that most 
of the students had visited this, 
one of the oldest and largest of 
the Southern self-supporting insti-
tutions. As they toured the campus 
they were impressed with the 
well-kept grounds, the Mtural 
beauty of its setting, and its good 
organization and management. 
After the Saturday night pro-
gram they left for the return trip. 
The group appreciated the hospi-
tality, friendliness, and many kind-
nesses extended to them while 
they were there.

At Nashville Church 
The Academy Choir, directed by 
Mrs. Bob Silver, made its second 
appearance of the year at the 
Nashville First Seventh-day Advent-
ist Church, singing the responses 
and the anthem, "Build Thee More 
Stately Mansions," by Andrews,

and women to extend the work 
in this field. 
Up to now all the lumber for 
building houses has been sawed 
by hand, all the soil tilled with 
crude hand tools. During his fur-
lough, Elder Tol has received as 
a gift the equipment for a sawmill 
-all except the power to run it. 
The Madison College Church 
members felt impressed to take 
upon themselves the project of 
purchasing a 40-horse-power Die-

Thus the slow work of building 
houses for the natives to replace 
their unsanitary 
huts will be 
speeded up and the work will 
progress more rapidly.

when the subject was "The Sab-
bath." This fine Christian minister, 
with a congregation of more than

followed the scripture texts closely, 
writing "Pope" next to Daniel 
. 7:25. The class has 'presented him 
with a Great Controversy and asks 
all to join in praying that he may 
see truth and accept it.

Hospital 
at ·Murfreesboro, 
Tennessee. 
This V. A .. Hospital is a 1300 .. 
bed mental hospital and keeps 
1250 beds full the ye_ar around. 
The Madi~on group was especi-
ally interested in the recreational 
and occupational therapy program 
at this large institution, since plans 
are on foot to develop that phase 
of the work for mental patients 
at Madison Sanitarium and Hospi-
tal.. Miss Hochstatter, director of 
education, 
conducted 
the 
tour 
through the recreation and craft 
rooms. 
T h e 
n e w 
Special 
Service 
Building, dedicated just a few 
days ago, has a modern theater 
room, a local radio station, and 
a modern cafeteria-like canteen. 
The group continued their tour 
through the hospital, down through 
winding halls and long corridors. 
· Some of the places visited were 
the print shop, the upholster 
shop, the shoe shop, and the 
occupational therapy rooms, wher 
patients were receiving instruc-
tion 
in 
weaving, 
leathercraft, 
painting, and tailoring. 
The high point of the tour was 
a visit with Mr. Sam Jared, Jr., 
the manager of the institutio . 
Mr. Jared took time out of his 
busy program· to answer some of 
the questions concerning the re-
habilitation work being done at 
the hospital. He told his visitors 
that the purpose of the occupa-
tional therapy program is two-
fold: to keep the patients occupied 
and also to teach them vocations 
which they may continue after 
they leave the hospital. When 
weather permits, the men work 
on the lawns and in the flower 
and vegetable gardens.
