College Choir Presents Sacred Music 
On 700 ·Mile Eastern Tour 
The Madison College Choir has 
just returned from the second 
spring tour which took the thirty-
member group nearly 700 miles in-
to two states. 
Friday morning the college bus 
left at approximately 6:30a.m. and 
arrived in the Great Smoky Moun-
tains at dinner-time. Mter eating 
their picnic lunch the choir mem-
bers had some time to do a little 
relaxing and sightseeing before re-
suming t h e i r journey. Fletcher 
Academy had a warm welcome for 
the group, a good supper, and 
over-night accommodations. The 
program for the evening consisted 
of three groups of choral numbers, 
selections by the Criterion Quar-
tet, as well as other musical num-
bers. 
Sabbath morning the same pro-
gram was presented at the Greene-
ville, Tennessee, church during the 
eleven o'clock service. This ap-
pointment was arranged for by 
Elder N. C. Wilson of Greeneville, 
who is chairman of the board of 
trustees of Madison College. The 
church members there provided 
dinner for the group, and again 
the choir members were on their 
way toward Little Cree]I School at 
Concord, Tennessee, where they 
presented a Sabbath evening ves-
per program. 
The choir members greatly ap-
preciated the kind hospitality they 
received at these various places. 
Bob Tetz and Mary Peek were es-
pecially happy to visit their homes 
in Greeneville and Little Creek re-
spectively. Little Creek School is 
also "home" to Anne and Virginia 
Davidson, who spent their acad-
emy days there.

Nature Lovers Spen.d 
Weekend at Falls 
Nature lovers have just returned 
from their weekend at Fall Creek 
Falls, famous State park located 
about 135 miles southeast of Nash-
ville. This annual event, spon-
sored by the Nature Club, always 
attracts a large number in addi-
tion to the regular club members. 
The group spent three days in 
this veritable fairyland of trees, 
flowers, birds, c a s c a d e s , deep 
chasms, gorges, and virgin for-
ests, hiking through the region 
and exploring the area. 
A highlight of the trip was the 
journey down the steel cable at 
the side of the famous falls, the 
walk under the falls, and then the 
trip down into the canyon. 
The park consists 
of 15,777 
acres. Fall Creek Falls is 256 feet 
!ligh, the highost falls in easter 
North America. 
The students report that the trip 
has furnished them with new zest 
for the tasks of the grueling weeks 
ahead between now and the close 
of the quarter.

Films Furnish 
Evening Program 
Two films, "Voices of the Deep" 
and "Again Pioneers," were shown 
Saturday night, 'May 4, in Assem-
bly Hall. 
"Voices of the Deep," a Moody 
Bible Institute film, was a record-
ing of under-water sounds of vari-
ous creatures of the sea. Surprising 
to most people is the fact that fish 
can purr, grunt, cluck, and whis-
tle. By using some new technical 
devices these sounds can be picked 
up and recorded. Fish also have 
ears, especially made for marine 
life. 
"Again Pioneers," produced by 
the Protestant Film Corporation, 
portrayed the tragedy of a poor 
family of the working class who 
had m o v e d i n t o a supposedly 
friendly town. However, they were 
rejected and finally completely 
thrown out of the town because 
of the prejudice of the haughty, 
well-to-do church people. 
In spite of the prejudice of the 
town, the mother of the family 
never lost faith in God and her 
fellow men.

Madison College Offers New Curriculum 
For Training Self-supj)orting Workers 
Madison College is plan~ing to 
introduce a new field of studies 
with the opening of ·the fall quar-
ter. These studies will deal direct-
ly with givirig specific training to 
those who plan to open self-sup-
porting institutions and to those 
who plan to join institutions that 
already exist. 
Training will be given in gen-
eral management, personnel prob-
lems, finances, sanitarium admin-
istration, ·school administration, in-
dustrial administration, legal stand-
ards,· and many kindred subjects. 
Madison is definitely planning 
on a dual system of education. 
Along with the program leading to 
professional diplomas and degrees 
will run a parallel program, open 
to those who desire a short prepa-
ration to enter into some phase of 
self-supporting work. 
The latter group will be given 
great latitude in choosing the sub-
jects they desire to study, not be-
ing bound to a set curriculum. 
These students will not be seeking 
a degree; therefore the entrance 
requirements will be more· liberal. 
Our purpose is to give educa-
tional opportunity to all serio~s­
minded young men and women of 
maturity and older ones of sta-
bility of character and purpose 
who feel the need of further train-
ing in order to better fit them-
selves to go forth as self-support-
ing workers.

School Grows Food 
Madison is constantly drawing 
nearer the ideal of growing what 
it eats and eating what it grows. 
Plans are forming for a frozen 
foods locker to be built on the 
campus in the future. 
On three recent mornings, teach-
ers and students joined from five 
till seven in the garden, planting 
sweet potato plants and hoeing 
corn, tomatoes, onions, and mus-
tard greens. 
Recently a student-faculty bee 
prepared thirty-five crates of straw. 
berries for freezing. Another such 
bee is planned for this week. 
Agriculture Dept. Is 
Strong· at Madison 
Agriculture is often· spoken of 
as the ABC of education. This 
means that agriculture is to be 
given first consideration; it is the 
foundation upon which to build. 
Madison intends to make the 
study of agriculture occupy its 
rightful place. Every student who 
graduates from Madison is required 
to take some training in agricul-
ture.

The nutritionist is rapidly taking

cation, food services, industrial or 
transportation nutrition, and others. 
The Home Economics and Nut-

and functionally correct of its 
kind. A visitor from a state uni-
versity recently stated that Madi-
son's was far superior to theirs. 
Mrs. Felix A. Lorenz, who has 
had charge of the department for

Academy Seniors Tour Nation~s Capital· 
Mter many good-byes to friends 
and loved ones and a prayer to the 
Heavenly Father for a safe trip, 
the door to the school bus closed 
and the academy seniors were off 
on their trip to the Nation's Capi-
tal, on Saturday night, April 27, 
at 8:20 p.m. 
Pen cannot describe the action 
and fun of the twenty-five youth 
and three adults packed therein. 
Suffice it to say, all had a wonder-
ful time traveling together, sing-
ing, talking, pillow-fighting, and 
trying to sleep. 
After twenty hours of traveling, 
the group arrived at the Cairo Ho-
tel in downtown Washington, where 
they found approximately 700 other 
seniors from various parts of the 
country.

Canadian Quartet 
Visits Churches 
The Canadian quartet, a new and 
promising musical group on the 
campus, has made several Sabbath 
appearances recently. The quartet 
consists of Lou Fleck, first tenor; 
Emmett Tetz, second tenor; Bob 
Tetz, baritone; and Alex Nischuck, 
second bass. 
This group, along with seven 
other Canadians, 
journeyed on 
Sabbath, May 4, forty miles into 
the hills to a small country church 
at Kingsfield, Tennessee. At the 
church service they sang "A Lit-
tle Talk With Jesus" and "Riches 
of Love." Others in the group took 
part in the services. 
Mter church they went down to 
the district Boy Scout Camp, nes-
tled deep in a valley beside a 
small creek, for a picnic dinner. 
After lunch the quartet sang a 
few more numbers. 
Those in the group besides the 
quartet were John Dovich, David 
Warner, Mrs. Fleck, Mrs. Emmett 
Tetz, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Dre-
bert and Donald. 
Besides 
singing 
at 
different 
churches the quartet is a special 
feature for most of the Canadian 
Club's activities. Their next ap-
pearance will be on May 13, when 
the Canadian Club will give a 
farewell party for their sponsors, 
Elder and Mrs. J. M. Ackerman,
