To date the following have been placed: Mr. Lorin Mixon to Ocala, Florida, Miss Carol Burchard to Dyersburg, Tennessee, and Miss lune Meyers to York, Pennsylva- nia. Miss Myrtle Bain, Miss Elaine Culpepper, Mrs. Bessie Burnett, Mr. Mervin Ernst, Mr. Floyd Mc- Daniel, and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Riffel have been contacted concern- ing teaching. A school is waiting for each of them. It is hoped by the staff of the 1-'"'En!lmmt!lTy Edueati6u Bepartment that a large number of qualified teachers will continue to go forth from Madison College, which is the newer name for Nashville Agricultural and Normal Institute. -ASMC- Air Conditioners Placed in Classrooms Air~onditioned classrooms at Madison College are well on the way to being reality, thanks to the eft:orts of the Student-Faculty Government Committee, which !>egan working on its project early Ill June. Already classes are meeting in the cool library classroom, which boasts a ton-and-a-half air condi- tioner. The next room to enjoy the benefits of cool air is to be the faculty room, which is the usual meeting place for the larger dasses of the college, besides being the place of meeting for the faculty, many committees, the board, and youth's Sabbath school. The weekly prayer meeting may also be held here. With the exception of the gener- al Sabbath services, it will be PGssible for all gatherings, classe lnd otherwise, to meet during the hot summer months in air- ec>nditioned rooms. Besides, stu- d~nts who wish may study . eve- lilllngs in the cool room off the brary.

A special feature of the program was the honoring of two members of early graduating classes, both of whom are living on the campus and are still employed at the Sanitarium. Miss Elizabeth Windhorst, who graduated in 1920, and Mrs. Edna Face, a graduate of the Class of '23, were dressed in long-sleeved, ankle-length uniforms worn when they were student nurses. After Miss Shirley Weesner, a member of the new class, presented these nurses to the audience, she told of nurses' duties in the Sanitarium during those early days and then presented the two with small gifts. The address was given by Elder R. R. Hegstad, of the Southern Publishing Association, who spoke on the high calling of the nurse. Special music was presented by a ladies' trio composed of Pat Silver, JoAnn Gibbons, and Dorothy Ackerman and by Bill Howard. Others who addressed the nurses were Dr. Jean Slate and Mrs. Doris Clapp. After the nurses received their caps and insignia they lighted their their candles from the candle of Florence Nightingale, represented by Mrs. Mary Jane West, R.N. Another feature of the program was the presentation of a New Testament to each nurse by a representative of the Gideon Society. After the evening's program was over, the newly-capped nurse were entertained at a reception held on the lawn of Mrs. Teckla Wilson's home. This is the second class of freshman nurses to be received into the full status of their profession during 1956, another class of twenty-six having been capped in January. campus-bound or meting out other restrictions." Doctors, ministers, teachers, workers, and students are donating liberally to make possible the purchase of three air conditioners, the project for this summer. However, funds are still needed to bring the project to completion, and contributions from friends are solicited. Send your gifts to the Government Committee, Madison College, and designate that the money is for the air conditioners. The Cumberland Echoes staff of 1956 will be happy to present the annual for the 1955-56 school year early in August. For the first time in the annual history of Madison College, the cover of the annual features a photograph of the Demonstration Building, in green duotone. The end . sheets consist of photos of Fall Creek Falls and the Cumber- land River, and the first eight pages of photographs of the campus buildings are all in green duotone. The annual staff has tried to do Madison College justice in putting out this annual. Carolyn Berrier and Shirley Burk, representing the annual staff, with Floyd McDaniel and Mr. Duane Higgins, treasurer of Madison College and Hospital and Sani- tarium, left recently for Topeka, Kansas, to get the annuals from the Myers Yearbook Company. While there, the group made their headquarters at the farm of Duane Higgins' parents, Mr. and Mrs .. Earl Higgins. They spent Friday morning sleeping and helping with the farm chores. Friday afternoon they made a tour of the printing plant, and then they cargoed the 1,000 annuals in a trailer. Sabbath the group attended the Seventh-day Adventist church in Topeka. There they met some prospective students for Madison College. The weary group arrived back at Madison College at 3 p.m. Sunday, ready for some sleep. all . . '~.~ ..

Wedding Bells On July 7, Miss Marge Swallow became the bride ·of Jack Dyer at the home of the groom's parents, five miles north of Magazine, Arkansas. Relatives and friends of the family met to witness the ceremony on the lawn under the cedar and crepe myrtle trees, fragrant with perfume. Jack and Marge have been students at Madison College the past two years. They plan to continue their college work to further prepare themselves for a place in the Lord's work.

It is not intentional that any have been omitted. We hope we shall have the information for the next issue. Joan and Christine Perkins had visitors while on vacation in Arkansas. They were Glenda Luzader, Jackie Schlotthauer, and George Roach. Dean Wike Here's a welcome to the ten new fellows who have joined our ranks. They're here for both work and study this summer .. Clyde Holland substituted for a few weeks for our dean, Theo Williams, who was away on vacation. Just at present the swimming pool is an active place, where Wasiotans, Delta Nu Zetans, and resi- dent families enjoy that regular plunge. Jan Rushing, college sophomore, is in charge oi the swimming pool for the summer. Richard Kunau was one of the eight cadets who took officers' · training at Camp Desmond Doss, Grand Ledge, Michigan, held June 26 -July 10. Richard is now counseling at Junior Camp at High- land Academy. Gene Henderson has been monitoring while Richard Kunau has been away. He's been doing a good job; after all, he's one of those big Texans. Fellows, how about having an outing some week- end? Come o,n, let's do something besides work and study. · How did you like that fine joint worship the girls gave us not long ago? Let's have just as good a one for them. STARCH and ST{(/PES To all you sun-tanned vacation- ers we would like to say, "Welcome back." The campus was getting a bit too quiet and peaceful, except around the hospital, of course, \here things were really buzzing! We may not have had "the sox'' worked off us, as it was rumored that Mrs. Vaughan had promised, but with only a "skeleton crew" on duty on most of the floors during the month of June, there was no time for loafing. Even the clinical instructors, who were doing vacation relief, were doing every- thing from giving bed baths to acting as head nurses and super- visors! Since there were no classes (except for a few short courses), there was ample opportunity for doing special duty, and a number of wallets seem to have lost their gaunt look, at least temporarily. It was with regret that we bade farewell to one of our R.N.'s, Miss Beulah Vickers, and her brother, Eldon, who left for California, recently. A farewell party in her honor was given at the home of liss Windhorst by the nursing faculty, graduate nurses, and nurs- ing students before she left. The Nursing Education Department has greatly appreciated the fine work Miss Vickers has done as clinical instructor and Nursing Arts in- structor since her graduation in 1953. For some time Miss Vickers had been anxious to return to California, which is actually her home state, but had stayed longer at the request of the faculty. She plans to enroll at Walla Walla College this fall to work on her !
