1t 
· Colorful beauty abounded. everywhere Saturday night, February 25, 
as Dorothy Evans-Ackerman presented the high .school chorus in the 
program, "Sweetheart Serenade" in song. 
Felix Grundy Woodward, Dean 
of ln$truction at Austin Peay 
State College of Clarksville, Ten-
nessee, was the guest speaker at 
the Associated Students of Madison 
College meeting on Wednesday, 
February 18. 
Dean Woodward reported on the 
resulfs of a recent survey conduct-
ed by the United States National 
Student 
A~ociation on Student 
Government, Student Leaders, and 
the American College. 
This report was supported by a 
$29,400 grant from the Ford Foun-
dation. 
To 
obtain the results 
questioJlllaires were sent to 
th~ 
deans of students and student body 
presidents 
of 
every 
accredited 
senior college in the United States. 
The report revealed that student 
government is a phenomenon of 
the American college. Its charac-
ter is a reflection both of the 
character of the college adminis-
trat~on and of the student body. 
SIXty-four per cent of the presi-
dents reported that their campus 
had some type of formal court in 
Education Class 
Relives History 
The class in Introduction to 
Educ~tion turned back the pages 
of history a century or two in 
~hapel on February 29 by present-
~ a. school scene of the early 
ayg m America. 
Lorin Mixon, as schoolmaster, 
~led with stern voice and firm 
and. Robert Clark was command-
~ to fe~h a bucket of water from 
e spnng, Harry Dorn was se-
~rely reprimanded for getting a 
w nk out of turn, Richard Kunau 
e~t. to the dunce stool for not 
feCitmg, and Burton Santee was 
trolllised a flogging after school

Pigtails.

Da e favorite songs

which students participated. How-
ever, the report pointed out that 
the college student's attitude to-
ward the administration could be 
indicated by the word "suspicion." 
Dean Woodward said that when he 
first joined the staff of A.P.S.C. 
twenty..six years ago, he thought 
this attitude a 'bad characteristic 
of that particular school, but that 
in visiting many schools during 
the last few years, he has found 
this attitude to be natural. 
The speaker explained that the 
administration must run the gaunt-
let of conflicting pressures-from 
within by the stu_dents and from 
without by the alumni and commu-
nity. The students cry for more 
freedom, while the alumni and 
community 
call 
for 
more 
re-
strictions. 
The smiles, friendship, and love of the songs they sang drew the 
audience to the sunshine of other lands. Gay costumes carried the 
onlookers in dreams to foreign countries. 
Linda Keplinger and Billy Schuler stood on the platform on each 
Temperance Society 
Shows Film 
The Madison College chapter of 
the Amencan Temperance Society 
showed the film, ·"With His Help," 
at chapel on February 27. 
Ernest Plata, local chapter pres-
ident, presented Mrs. Clapp, fac-
ulty sponsor, who introduced the 
film. 
The motion picture realistically 
portrayed the heartache, sorrow, 
and shame in a home where the 
father is in the clutches of the 
demon drink. 
The film emphasized the only 
sure hope for the alcoholic-divine 
help in overcoming the craving 
side of a huge heart as the acade-
my students came through the 
heart and took their places on 
the platform. The chorus opened 
the program with "Will You Re-
member?" 
Clyde Holland, as narrator, re-
lated the tales of friendship be-
tween the musical numbers. 
Special numbers included a duet, 
"Down 
the 
River 
of 
Golden 
Dreams," by Janet Harper and 
Jean Rupel; ;) solo by Betty Jo 
Hudson with Myrna Moore and 
Nancy Grebe dressed as Ruth and 
Naomi; "Japanese Love Song" by 
Elizabeth Cothren dressed as a 
Japanese maid.

Are you the culprit? 
Are you guilty of such· an offense? 
Do ~ou. clutch a candy wrapper in your hand, hang 
on to It tightly, and unconsciously pass the trash can? 
Then, as you have a heavy load of books do you 
decide that since you can't find a trash can ;nywhere 
any old place will do? So there your paper falls, t~ 
be trampled in the mud with various and sundry 
other pieces of litter. 
From the appearance of our campus, such actions 
have been far too common lately. As you walk about 
the campus, notice whether any of the trash lying 
about was dropped there by you. If so, next time 
can't you hold on to that bit of litter till you pass 
the next trash can? 
Visitors get their first impressions of our school 
from the appearance of the grounds. They judge the 
students by the way the campus looks. 
. It is up to each of us, students, to keep our campus 
clean. Let's not be litter bugs!

Dear Editor, 
~ receive. a ~opy of the MADISONIAN regularly and 
enJOY readmg It very much. 
In each issue it can be plainly seen that students 
are doing their part in upholding the school and 
its standards. 
Being a former student, and now stationed here 
in Ger~any, I . d~eply appreciate the things I was 
taught m a Chnstlan home and at a Christian school. 
I only wish that I had applied myself more diligently. 
It is very important, and I would urge each one 
of you, to do your best in learning how to live for 
Christ and b~ of service to your fellow men, so 
that when Christ comes we all may be in that throng 
who go to live with Him throughout eternity. 
Sincerely, 
Pvt. Vern Manzano 
Editor's Note: Thanks for the nice letter, Vern. 
We do need to do our very best in learning to live

Days come and go. So do students. Several months 
ago Elsie Gibbons left us. Last reports from her 
reveal that she has just changed her name to 
Worthen. She is now on her honeymoon. Lucky girl! 
Six girls-five new ones and a sixth from the 
village-have joined the Williams Hall family. Carol 
Bur~hard, from Candler, North Carolina;. Shirley, 
Manlyn, an~ Nova Weesner, from Amboy, Indiana; 
and Pat Gnsmore, from Bunker Hill Indiana are 
with us. Juanita Schwarz, from th~ village' has 
recently moved into the dormitory. 
' 
Mary Doneskey went home with Vero Wright over 
a recent weekend. 
Maellene and Alice Haviland, Elizabeth Page, 
Peggy Montgomery,. and Florine Gant made a trip 
to Washington, D.C., over a weekend that turned 
out to be a little longer than expected. 
Of c?urse !daellene was extra anxious to go, since 
Don S1sson IS at Walter Reed, about twenty miles 
from her home. Too bad that illness kept Merritta 
Haviland from making the trip home. 
· 
We have heard of beds being too soft, but not often 
in dormitories. However, Shirley Hancock and Paula 
Dowden must think so, for they took their blankets 
and pillows to the parlor recently and slept on the 
floor. 
We girls feel fortunate in having Elder Mills, our 
college pastor,. give us spiritual lessons once a week 
in worship. He is always ready to help us students 
with our problems.

It seems that our friend the ground hog has led 
us to a firm conviction that spring is well on its 
way. We certainly do welcome the bright sun and the 
beautiful spring weather. 
With spring, young men's hearts turn to thoughts 
of love and "chicks." But Glenn Belk has gone 
completely overboard. He cares for over a thousand 
"chicks" every night. Don't get excited. They are just 
fowls. 
The fellows down at Men's Court are sending for 
the Charles Atlas instruction books and a set of 
bar bells. _During the meantime, however, they are 
concentratmg all of their efforts on exercises like 
push-ups, knee-b~nds, sit-ups, and others. Sooner or 
later we will have some real men if these activities 
keep up. 
Joe Mathews is a new fellow from Jonesboro 
Ar~ansas. _(H~ay for the best state in the Union!) 
He s a semor m the academy, and we certainly hope 
he will enjoy his stay here. 
By the way, never enter into a game of table tennis 
with our champions of Wasiota Hall. I did, and I 
was beaten badly. Those boys are really on the ball. 
Dean Williams and Mr. Morris are sponsoring 
the new Amateur Radio Club. The officers are Ernie 
Plata, president; Clinton Johnson vice president· 
and Richard Kunau, secretary-treas~er. The fellow~ 
are trying to learn all they are able about radios 
wiring, and tape recorders.

After due process of nomina· 
tions and elections, the following 
choir officers were chosen for the 
remainder of the winter quarter: 
Clyde Holland, president; Sylvia 
Burk, secretary; Jack Dyer, treasur· 
er; Ross Clark and Jean Open· 
shaw, custodians. 
It was an almost unanimous 
decision that the choir consider 
new choir risers as a future proj· 
ect. Dues have not been decided 
on, so treasurer Jack Dyer has no 
money to worry about yet. The 
custodians, we understand, are 
responsible for caring for choir 
robes and stoles and arranging 
chairs on the rostrum, etc., etc. 
Recently Mrs. Ackerman spent a 
busy afternoon and evening serr· 
ing as adjudicator at the annual 
meeting of the Middle Tennessee 
Vocal Teachers Association held at 
the Central High School in Nash· 
ville. Vocal teachers from the 
various high schools in and around 
Nashville presented their smaller 
vocal ensembles and vocal soloists 
to be rated. Mrs. Ackerman says 
she was favorably impressed ~ith 
the high quality of the selectiOns 
performed. Mrs. Edythe Cothren, 
who has sung at 
Madison on 
numerous occasions, also served 
with Mrs. Ackerman. 
Under the direction of Professor 
Felix Lorenz, Jr., the Male Chorus 
sang "My Anchor Holds" at a 
recent church service.

N~lie Green Chosen ·Miss Madison Nurse 
Nellie 
Green 
Miss Nellie Green, 
senior nurse, 
was 
presented in chapel 
on February 27 as 
Miss Madison 'Stu-
dent Nurse, having 
been chosen to this 
honor by her fellow-
nursing students at 
a recent club meet-
ing. 
Each year the various districts 
of the Tennessee 
Associ~tion of 
Student Nurses sponsor a Miss 
Student Nurse contest. Each of the 
six nursing schools in the Nash-
ville area (District 3) chooses an 
outstanding nurse to represent 
its school. Later one of these six 
is chosen as Miss Nashville Nurse. 
Foreign Students 
Guests at Banquet 
The foreign students at Madison 
College were guests at the annual 
banquet sponsored by the Ameri-
can Association for the Unit(!d 
Nations for all foreign students 
attending colleges in or near Nash-
ville. The banquet was held in the 
Episcopalian Church in downtown 
Nashville on Thursday evening, 
February 23. 
The thre~ hundred guests, from 
many different countries, present-
ed a democratic picture as they 
mingled one with the other and 
became acquainted. Each person 
wore a name card which also bore 
tlt'lnltne· Of the country he rep-
resented. The group was a sea of 
faces of many colors. 
The banquet was held in the 
huge upper room of the church. 
Following grace, a very appetizing 
dinner was served. 
The table 
centerpieces were miniature flags 
of various nations. 
An impressive part of the pro-
gram was the roll call. As each 
country was called in alphabetical 
Order, the representatives stood 
for a moment. 
The after-dinner program was 
Presented by the students. Songs 
and instrumental music were ren-
dered in the national style. There 
were Korean folk songs, a solo 
Played on the recorder by a Ger-
man girl, a harmonica solo by a 
student from Israel. 
Many students wore their native 
dress, such as the Indian sahri and 
t~e Japanese kimono, thereby ad-
dmg to the international flavor of 
the program. A young woman who 
came from Brazil last fall without 
a knowledge of English gave her 
&rst impressions of America. 
The benediction was a prayer 
for unity and world peace, such 
as Was shown in the group that 
had gathered there for the evening. 
The students representing Madi-
IIOn College at the banquet were 
Esther Edmonson, Elizabeth Page, 
Christina Warner David Warner, 
Canada; Glora Fe~guson, Van Jack-
~~ Honduras; David Hernandez. 
~nor Huerta, Peru; Efrain Pi-
lleiro, Jose Rodriguez, Cuba; Her-
~ Schramm, Germany; Rachel 
••tani, Japan. 
Then the district nurses chosen 
·compete for the state honor, Miss 
Tennessee Student Nurse. 
During her sophomore year Miss 
Green was president of her class. 
She has also been treasurer of the 
Delta ·Nu Zeta Club, assistant 
Sabbath school secretary, member 
of the government committee, a 
prayer band leader, and deaconess 
in the college church. 
Miss Green was chosen Miss 
Madison Student Nurse for her 
high moral standards, her spirit-
uality, and her excellent scholar-
ship. She has determination and 
ability. She also possesses a hum-
ble, helpful spirit and manifests a 
willingness to serve where help is 
needed. 
Vespers Feature Miss 
Moore, Dr. Lesovsky 
Miss Mary H. Moore, author, 
teacher, speaker, and at present 
librarian, colwnnist, and editorial 
consultant for These Times ma-
gazine at the Southern Publishing 
Association, was the Vesper speaker 
on Friday evening, February 17. 
An ardent lover of nature, Miss 
Moore always draws from her 
nature talks spiritual lessons. Her 
interest in nature no doubt influ-
enced her choice of a topic for her 
evening talk-serpents and snakes. 
Elmphasizing the fact that the 
serpent in Eden was not the snake 
of today, she drew many lessons 
from the serpent, which, in the 
Bible, is alike a symbol of sin and 
of salvation. 
Dr. W. H. Lesovsky, resident 
physician 
at 
Madison 
College, 
showed pictures at Vespers Friday 
night, February 24, of his travels 
among the ruins of ancient Baby-
lon and other Bible lands. He 
told of interesting archeological 
finds. With him he had a stone 
from 
Babylon, 
with 
cuneiform 
writing on one surface, which he 
let the audience examine. 
Dr. Lesovsky is a graduate of 
the Graz University in Austria, 
having taken his medical course 
there. He received his Ph.D. degree 
from the University of Vienna a 
few years before completing his 
medical course. Dr. Lesovsky has 
been associated with Seventh-day 
Adventist hospitals in Baghdad, 
Iraq; Beirut, Lebanon; and fro~ 
time to time in other places m 
those and neighboring countries.

Hilgers, and Dorothy Cantrell sang 
"Wherever You Are." A special 
encore was given Fitzgerald Jen-
kins for singing "Mah Lindy Lou" 
so beautifully. Linda Pitman and 
Rhea 
Harvey 
represented 
the 
Spanish people. The journey .to 
many lands in song ended w1th 
"Will You Remember?" 
Carol Hilgers on the piano, Ross 
Clark with the violin, and Mary 
Lou Sullins at the organ were 
accompanists. 
Business Classes 
Visit Bank 
Mr. Lowder's class in Principles 
of Accounting visited the main 
offices of the First American Na-
tional Bank in Nashville on Feb-
ruary 21. 
The 
trip through the Bank 
acquainted the students with the 
functions of the banking system, 
the vaults, the safety deposit boxes, 
and many other aspects of a bank. 
A highlight of the visit was the 
privilege of holding in their hands 
a 
one-million-dollar 
government 
bond. 
In the near future Mr. Lowder's 
class in Law will visit the civil 
court. 
.Madisonites Provide 
Music at Worlq 
Prayer Service 
Mrs. Leroy Borton and Mrs. Bob 
W. Silver, accompanied by Mrs. 
Harold 
E. 
Mitzelfelt, 
provided 
appropriate musical selections for 
the World Day of Prayer service, 
which was held at the City Road 
Methodist Church in Madison on 
February 17. This church served as 
host to all the churches in the 
Madison area. 
World Day of Prayer is observed 
by over 134 countries throughout 
the world and in 20,000 communi-
ties across the United States. 
On this day a special service 
for prayer is held by believers 
of all faiths under the sponsor-
ship of the World Day of Prayer 
committee. Each year the program 
is prepared by authors of one of 
the cooperating countries or states. 
This year the service came from 
Cook Training School for Indian 
Christian leaders, in Phoenix, Ari-
zona-a school which receives a 
part of the World Day of Prayer 
offering each year. The central 
theme-~'One flock, \one Slhepherd," 
was chosen from John 10:16. 
Education Class 
(Continued from page 1 l 
Stream," and "Yankee Doodle," 
directed by Dorothy Evans-Acker-
man. 
Mrs. Selma Mohr with her 16 
first-grade pupils showed the audi-
ence a well-organized church school 
in 1956. Bulletin boards, books, 
and modern desks were in evi-
dence while a feeling of rapport 
was 
felt between teacher and 
pupils. The stern discipline of 
yesterday had been replaced by 
understanding, a working together, 
and better teacher-pupil relations. 
If teaching interests you, plan 
to register on March 11 in one or 
more classes offered in the De-
partment of Education. 
Finding fault is the easiest and 
most dangerous thing in the world. 
If you do anything worth talking 
about-let somebody else do the 
talking. 
Always be courteous in the face 
of discourtesy.

It isn't especially the time of 
the year to expect glowing re· 
ports from the farm, but there's 
never an idle moment for farmers, 
·at least not for thooe in the Madi-
son College Agricultural Division. 
Winter has been the time to 
repair tools. Wagons, tractors, and 
other implements have had a 
complete going-over. Last fall 15 
acres of new pasture were re-
seeded; this spring eight more 
will be sowed. The increasing size 
of the dairy herd makes good pas-
ture essential. This past year 15 
cows were added, and next fall 
another 15 young heifers will come 
in fresh and take their place in 
the dairy herd. 
Speaking of the dairy herd-
milk production has reached an 
all-time high during the past three 
months. Because of this over-
supply, the milk plant has sold 
$1500 worth of milk to the Sealtest 
Company in three months' time. 
Mr. Cantrell reports that the 
future looks bright for the small 
grain crops that were planted last 
fall. A dry season-they said a-
while ·back. Now, because of the 
heavy rains of the past few weeks,

Post Office Receives 
New Look 
The Madison College post office 
has acquired a new look since the 
installation of new boxes and an 
entire new front. The gleam of the 
new boxes and the brightness of 
the light oak paneling give the 
lobby a modern, attractive ap-
pearance. There 
are 
now 
370 
boxes, 50 more than there were 
formerly. 
Shortly after the first of the 
year the installation began on 
equipment which had been accu-
mulating since last July. However 
when the job was once begun, 
within four days the work was 
completed with little inconven· 
ience to the workers and patrons. 
A post office was first established 
at Madison College in 1936. Pre-
vious to this, Madison was the 
school's 
post 
office. 
The 
first 
post office was located in one 
corner of the store, and Mr. R. B. 
King was the first postmaster, 
serving for ten years. 
· 
The ne}S:t postmaster was Mrs. 
Naomi Anderson, who also served 
for ten years. She resigned in 
February, 1956, just a few weeks 
after the renovation of the office, 
which by now has become a sec-
ond-class post office. 
Mrs. John E. Dodd, the former. 
LaVerne Wilson, is the new acting 
postmaster, filling 
the 
position 
temporarily. 
Bob 
Register and 
Jan Rushing are clerks in the 
office.

Chapel Honors 
Washington 
The two hundred and twenty-
fourth birthday of George Wash-
ington was commemorated at the 
chapel period on February 22. 
Preceding the _program the band, 
directed by Felix Lorenz, Jr., 
played a group of spirited numbers. 
Elder Lorenz opened the pro-
gram by reading a poem written 
by Edna Atkin Pepper honoring 
the father of our country. Mrs. 
Ackerman sang "God Bless Amer-
ica," 
in 
which 
the 
audience 
participated. 
In Professor Patrick's quiz on 
the presidents, the girls won by 
answering the 
most questions. 
Professor Patrick concluded the 
program with a talk on the char-
acter of George Washington. 
Blue Notes 
(Continued from page 2) 
As a member of the Nashville 
Symphony Guild, Mrs. Mitzelfelt 
was . also privileged to attend the 
guild's luncheon meeting at which 
Mr. Gregor Piatigorsky, world-re-
nowned 'cellist, was interviewed. 
A representative group of Madison 
students, teachers, and community 
, folk attended the symphony con-
cert which featured Mr. Piatigors-
ky. What a thrill it was to hear 
him play. We haven't come down 
to earth yet!
