Mrs. Lesovsky was one of the early teachers in Germany and has since that time had an inter- esting career in Near Eastern countries. She served as principal of the school of Beirut for a num- ber of years and also founded a school for and with Moslems in Damascus. cOnference President Speaks at Church Elder R. H. Pierson, president of the Kentucky-Tennessee Confer- ence, was the speaker at the Sab- bath morning service on May 14. . e McDaniel Returned to Presidency The students of Madison College went to the polls on Thursday, May 19, to elect their student association officers for the com- ing school term which begins next September. Voting machines ·were brought out from the Davidson County Election Commission and the vot- ing was carried on in a proper manner. Floyd McDaniel, from Rifle, Col- orado, was re-elected to the presi- dency of the student assoCiation. Floyd first came to Madison in 1948. After one year here he went back home to edit his hometown newspaper, where he was kept Floyd busy for the next two McDaniel years. He came back to Madison in the fall of '53 to resume his classwork, taking a major in Business Administration. Last year he was editor of the col- lege yearbook, Cumberland Echoes. This past year he was chosen to represent Madison College in Who's Who Among American Col- leges and Universities. Bill Graves, from Hot Springs, Arkansas, was elected vice-presi- dent of the association. Before coming to Madison, Bill attended public high school. Bill has been an active stu- dent on this campus ever since he came here. Among the of- fices which he has held are president of Bill Wasiota Club, editor Graves of the Madisonian, editor of Cum- berland Echoes. Bill has completed a course in X-ray and has been accepted to the school of labora- tory Technique. Bill will be a jun- ior next year. He spoke appreciatively of the work that Madison and the self- supporting units in this confer- ence are doing. The main burden of his talk was evangelism, which he stated should go hand in hand with the medical work. He stressed the importance of church mem- bers, students, and others training for self-supporting work in order to start medical and educational units throughout the Kentucky- Tennessee Conference. Mary Doneskey, from British Columbia, Canada, was elected secretary-treasurer of the association. Mary will complete her X- ray course in Septem- ber, after which she plans to continue with a Laboratory course. Mary has been active in several campus Mary clubs. After gradua- Doneskey tion she plans to work with her doctor brother in Colorado. Joe Schnell, from Kansas, was elected as religious vice president of the association. This is a new office with the association. His duties will be to correlate t)he religious activities on the cam- pus with the student association.

He is a junior this year, majoring in religious education Glenn Brown, from Kansas, was chosen to serve as parliamentarian of the association. Glenn is a freshman this year. He plans to major in X-ray and Laboratory Technique. At present he is serv- ing as parliamentari- an of the Wasiota Club.

PRINTED BY THE RURAL PRESS Page 2 • May 26. 1955 1Jelta ~ew3 Cta LILLIAN AZEVEDO The girls of Williams Hall wel- come Eva Jo Aldrich to the dor- mitory. She is now rooming with Edna Earle Lee. Hilda Schneider seems to have something up her sleeve-what it is we don't know. But it seems to have something to do with a pair of glasses. She really seems to be a mixed-up kid lately. La Veta Herber, sophomore nurse, has left on her vacation to visit her parents in Shattuck, Oklahoma. Her roommate; Mael- lene Haviland, really misses her. College graduation does not oc- cur here until early in Septem- ber. In the meantime the college- seniors will work diligently throu-gh the summer quarter to gain those few remaining required credits. Mrs. Patrick's record must be. com- plete before anyone can don that cap and gown. Graduation exercises at Union College attracted Professor and Mrs. Mitzelfelt to their son's grad- uation. Vincent, who completed two years here at Madison before going to Union, will enter the school of medicine at Lorna Linda ·next fall. Traveling to Lincoln with the Mitzelfelts was Mrs. Vin- cent Mitzelfelt and young Ramona Lynn. Professor Mitzelfelt is proud of his young granddaughter but admits he doesn't "feel like a grandpa yet." It was interesting to watch two Junior M.V.'s in action this week. Young Sylvia Mitzelfelt and Reba Vaughn descended upon the Music Department with a page number from the Nashville telephone directory, intent upon· getting names for the Bible Correspond- ence School. They worked with systematic zeal and soon had nine enrollees. It looked easy the way they did it. We're not mentioning any names, but one morning recently two young ladies came to our home hinting that they were hungry. We invited them in and served them home-made bread and butter and hot cocoa to help tide them over until dinner time. Guess they needed that extra hour's sleep that caused them to .miss break- fast. Come again, girls, anytime. Another of our sophomore nurses, Ruth Blaisdell, has left early for her vacation at her home in faraway Canada. Coming and going takes her so long that she had to leave early in order to ~ have any tilne at home. We hope that both girls will have a good time and that they will hurry back as soon as possible. Helen Pearson, Frances Wool- bright, Virginia Lewis, and Mar- 'tha Tinnon had quite a time on the junior class picnic. From all reports, the picnic must have been exciting. Williams Hall has been a very studious place lately. The girls have been burning the midnight oil, making up for what they should have done in the past. Alice Haviland was called to her home in Maryland because of the death of her grandmother. We extend our sympathies to you, Alice. You ought to see the bustle and excitement _among the senior girls of the academy. For the last twelve years they have been pre- paring themselves for the great day which has come at last- graduation. JJlue JVote3 EDNA THORNTON Strains of ''Pomp and Circum- stance" float on the evening air as graduating classes practice for the weekend's exercises. The chills of exam-time are soon re- . placed by the thrills of graduation for grade school and academy seniors. The men of Wasiota Hall have been exceptionally quiet the past few days. I think perhaps the final examinations -have had some- thing to do with the quietness. Everyone has really buckled down and is trying to make that "A." One day Bill Graves decided that he would leave for home be- fore the quarter was over. He went through all the red tape and was almost ready to go down town to buy his ticket when he ran into a little difficulty. Bill is still with us and planning to leave at the end of the quarter. Henry Burchard is taking his job at the maintenance depart- ment very seriously. Lately he has been spending quite a lot of time in coveralls with a hammer in hand. The results of his labor have not as yet been seen. Donald Bee has had his brother Raymond visiting him here for a few days. He came at a very op- portune time, because the day he arrived Donald was admitted to the hospital on a suspected ap- pendix case. We are very glad that it didn't turn out that way. Donald is back with us again and he is lively as ever. STARCH 4nrl STRIPES VELMA MIDGHALL, R.N. Pioneer Did you know that Madison College is one of the few ·institu- tions that admit· men into nurses' training? Besides the ten men of the freshman class already mentioned, we have seventeen upper classc men who are a vital part of our" nursing program. They are as fol- lows: Seniors: Alex Brown, Florida; Warren Butler, Oregon; Godfrey Duran, New Mexico; Ruben Pera- les, Puerto Rico; Emmett Pierce, Texas. Juniors: Don Fisher, Indiana; Thomas Mino, Ohio. Sophomores: Bill Cook, North Carolina; Henderson Crowder, Madison; Steve Dorosh, Canada; Glyen Haugen, Wisconsin; Cecil Hopps, Washington, D.C.; Bill Howard, Colorado; Thomas Lin- ville, New Mexico; Gerald Turn- bull, Canada; George West, Cali- fornia; John Williams, Missouri. Guinea Pig John Williams volunteered as "guinea pig" for Dr. David John- , son's EEG (electroencephalogram) and Neurology Clinic. Real com- fortable he looked in that large, over~stuffed, reclining armchair, but when the tiny needles from the wire leads were stuck into the various scalp areas, John looked more like a porcupine than a guinea pig. Or, · he might even be compared to the socialite head under the beauty salon apparatus ready for a permanent! Some bright intelligencia com- mented to Dr. Johnson, "I thought they 'taped' the needles on," but . the good doctor replied, "It works faster this way!" (Poor John!) During the procedure, the doc- tor (in deep concentration, work- ing at the control switches) was heard to say, "Oh, there must be a loose connection!" (We never did learn whether it was the machine or John.) 11An Ill Wind ... •• Went Astray Recently a guest speaker from Nashville came to lecture to Mrs. Zeigler's class in Social Prob- lems in Nursing. By some odd error, the time for the lecture had been recorded on the speak- er's calendar for 10 a.m. instead of 1:00 p.m. What could she do for several hours-why, tour the hospital and campus, of course! Upon departure, our friend was heard saying, "You know, I'm so glad that the mistake in time was made; I have enjoyed my visit so much. Because your hospital does so much work in psychiatry, many people in this vicinity think of it in that capacity; but I have seen your large surgical wing, the busy operating room, the lovely chil- dren's floor, the huge medical area, and have talked with the supervisor of the maternity floor about the many mothers and ba- bies-why, I never realized this was such a different place." Mention was made, as it has currently been made by many, many patients and previous vis- itors, of the quiet and peaceful setting of the hospital, the beau- tiful flowers, the tame squirre~ and the smiling friendly nurses and hospital personnel. _Wee Visitor Cheers .Patient . Frances Baerg, junior nurse, really meant to do her utmost to carry out her doctor's instruction to "teach the patient to smile." One evening, for just a-few mo- ments, ·she brought the unusual treat for that patient, via Mr. Baerg's help. She let her patient watch the playful, friendly antics of her five-week-old puppy; no tracks were left on the floor or tousled articles in its wake-no, it performed in the nurse's hands, and could have done as well from a teacup-the wee mite was a black-and-tan Chihuahua! Orchids to Our Nurses From a more serious angle, it has been encouraging to see the excellent care such nurses as Miss Wanda Thomas and Miss Frances Woolbright have given a certain very critical patient. Under the untiring efforts of Stanley Rudisaile, Emmett Web- ster, and Charlie Culbertson, "Uncle Charlie" blossomed out with special shaves and haircuts, left his oxygen tank and took to the wheelchair, where from the front porch he enjoyed the after· noon sunshine. Sophomore students Maellene Haviland and JoAnn Gibbons have done well in total patient care. Field Trip A group of senior nurses re- cently enjoyed an occasion which will soon be regarded as a rare opportunity. During their field trip with Mrs. Clapp, director of nurses, they visited the office of Miss Nina E. Wooten, R.N., secre- tary-consultant for the State of Tennessee Board of Nursing. She retires this year from her goveillr· nor-appointed position, and w go on an extensive tour of Europe. Miss Golden Williams will be her successor. Finals Are Here Examination time is here and everyone is hard at work tr~jng to finish those last-minute assign· ments· vacation is but a few days off f~r many, and only a feW weeks off for others. In the mean· time, BEST WISHES FOR A PLEASANT SUMMER, AND RETURN WlTH "WI f, WIGOR, AND WITALITY"!

After a short baptism the trio sang Malotte's "The Lord's Pray- er"-a fitting close to the Sabbath. Vincent Mitzelfelt, former stu- dent and brother of Patricia Sil- ver, introduced the personnel and their numbers. Joyce Christensen accompanied them at the organ. Many people expressed their ap- preciation for the fine music they had been privileged to enjoy. The members of the group were also privileged to see many friends and relatives. Eulene Borton is a former Union student, and Joyce Christensen's two cousins are stu- dents there. Joyce's parents, driv- ing from Colorado, met her there, making the occasion somewhat of a family reunion. In spite of the long, tiresome ride, all had an enjoyable trip and felt that it was worthwhile. Let's Get Acquainted Vero Elizabeth Wright, cheerful blue- eyed blonde, comes to Madison College from Decatur, Alabama. Only a few years ago Vero knew noth- ing about Seventh-day vero Adventists. Then she Wright went to work in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gui- er, in Decatur. Here, in their dai- ly home life, she saw and heard much that led her to ask questions concerning their religion. Very tactfully Mrs. Guier an- swered her questions, and before long Vero expressed a desire to keep the Sabbath with them. Later, when she began making plans for college, the Guiers per- suaded her to come to Madison College, offering to help her through school. Last September Vero enrolled as a pre-nursing student and was baptized at the close of the fall Week of Prayer. Vero is a true Southerner, as i evidenced by some of her favorite foods-beans, cornbread, and on- ions. She is also a loyal Alabaman, and brags that Alabama is as good as Texas. Her studies and her work at the Food Factory have not kept her too busy to pursue her favor- ite hobby, crocheting. One of her special projects this year was fin- ishing a beautiful tablecloth for a gift. Vero has a happy disposition and makes friends readily. These characteristics will make her a success in her chosen profession of nursing. Probies Undergo New Experiences Five probies discovered what it is like to be hospitalized when they were ordered to bed in the Nursing Arts Building for twenty- four hours. Now Marilyn Campbell, Edna Earle Lee, J eslyn Ice, Jackie Schlotthauer, and Joan Perkins know how it feels to be on com- plete bed rest. All the girls had doctors' orders, just as regular pa- tients have, and were required to stay in bed all day without turn- ing over, or lifting a hand to do anything. Everything was carried on by their nurses just as if they had actually been ill. The nurses had as many interesting experiences as their patients. The 6-11 nurses were Carrie Jackson and Barbara Epps. The night nurse, Marguerite Smith, got more sleep than some of the patients. Paula Dowden and Merritta Haviland were ready for the beds at three o'clock the next day after having cared for their "patients." None of the "patients for a day" had ever been in the hospital be- fore. "The project was a complete success," said Miss Vickers, nurs- ing arts instructor. A.S.M.C.
