Dart, guidance counselor from the Educational Department of the General Con- ference, advised teen-agers, col- lege youth, and parents during meetings and in private confer- ences during his stay here Febru- ary 14-20. In his chapel talks on Monday and Wednesday he gave the stu- 4ents ten questions to help them in making their choice of a life companion: 1. Is he (or she) a Christian? 2. Is he in good health? 3. Is he on your intellectual level? 4. Does he have emotional sound- ness? 5. Is he capable and willing to take responsibility? 6. Do you love him for his own sake or for what he has? 7. How do you get along with his relatives? You have to marry them all. 8. Does she accept his family and he accept hers? 9. Do you have the same interests and likes? 10. Are you comfortable in each other's presence? Can you trust each other?

From left to right are John Dovich, student president, Beverly Hegstad, staff secretary, Mary Peek, ASMC secretary, and Joe Fields, chairman of the fund-raising campaign. Delta Nu Zetans Fete Men at Banquet The age-old theme of Valentine's Day was carried out in the annual Delta Nu Zeta banquet, held on Sunday evening, February 15, in the cafeteria, when the young men were the guests of the young ladies of the college. Entrance to the gaily decorated banquet room was through the center of a huge valentine heart which had been placed over the doorway. Inside, Mr. and Mrs. Brenton Bullock, host and hostess, ushered the guests to their tables. Mter the tasty appetizer, the main course of mock chicken drumsticks, mashed potatoes and gravy, peas, corn, salad, and hot rolls was served. The dessert was ice cream and cake. The main part of the program was presented in the Assembly Hall, where Alyce Faye Williams, m stress of ceremonies, gave a hearty welcome to the guests. The highlight of the entertain- ment was the .film, "That We Might Hear," which ·stressed the friendship and fellowship that exist when men love and under- stand each another. Other numbers on the program were a reading by Lucy Courter, "What Is a Boy and What Is ·a Girl?"; a song by Nancy Currier and Jean Openshaw, "Playmates"; a piano solo by Lydia Guerrero, "Over the Waves"; a cornet solo, "Cherry Pink and Applebloss:>m White," by Darlene Syvertson; Anna Peterson's version of "The Memories of a Soldier"; a skit, "Don't Tell a Soul"; a piano duet, "Malaguena," by Shirley Burk and Carol Hilgers; two solos, "Indian Dawn," by Jo Anderson, a n d "Homing," by Ruby Seibert. An appropriate ending to the pro- gram was "A Perfect Day," sung by Fay and Kay Eller, Dorothy Graham; and Dolly Nelson. Those who planned the eve- ning's entertainment were t h e Delta Nu Zeta officers: Shirley Burk, Velma Robinson, Elleanor Haddock, Virginia Greenlee, Lila Ring, . Catalina Marzan, and the ass.~sting _committees. i• The ASMC voted last Monday at chapel to launch a four-week drive to raise $2000 for the com- plete renovation of the dining area of the cafeteria. The proj- ect also includes the furnishing of one end of the cafeteria to serve· as a temporary social center. Plans call for the installing of acoustic tile ceiling, fluorescent lighting, and asphalt floor tile and the painting of the entire cafe- teria area. A folding door will separate the social center from the main dining area. Beecher Zollinger, chairman of the project, is in charge of the plans and the carrying out of the plans. He says that all labor will be donated by students. The money raised during the campaign will be used only for materials. John Dovich, president of the student body, states that the proj- ect so far seems to point toward great success, as "the students are enthusiastic, the project is most worthy, and money is already starting to come in." This is the second entire student project in the history of the ASMC, according to Dovich. The last such project was the constructing of the outdoor swimming pool by the student association a numbe' of !'ears ago. The campaign is under the di- rection of Joe Flelds, wh'> is work- ing hard to see that everyone reaches his goal in a period of four weeks. "Gifts are welcome from anyone interested in seeing the present dull-looking cafeteria changed into one of the brightest · and most cheerful spots on the campus," adds-.Joe. ' ' FUTURE EVENTS . . ~ .

There are two classes of criticism-destructive and constructive. As Christian young people we . should guard against the temptation to give frequent and needless criticism. If we find it necessary to criticize, the criticism should always be given in a constructive manner and given only in a spirit of love. Which class of criticism do you practice? Do you express your opinions freely or pass judgment with- out thought of how it may affect the feelings and reputations of others? Young people are often hurt· and discouraged by thoughtless remarks of criticism. Something hap- pens which does not meet our · approval. We "pop off" with the first thing that comes to our minds without thinking of the effect upon the one against whom i_t is said. Christ is our example. Let's not forget that "the ideal of Christian character is Christlikeness," and that "His tender compassion fell with a touch of healing upon weary and. troubled hearts." This should be our ultimate goal, and it would be well for us always to keep it in mind when we are tempted to criticize or· make some statement against someone. P.S. Albert Isom took Joel Stahl, Henry Fujita, Rupert Ham-Ying, John Treu, and Robert Eaton to Wild- wood, Georgia, where the group spent a pleasant weekend recently. At the testimony meeting which climaxed Elder Frazee's Friday evening vesper talk, Harry told how a number of years ago in Japan he had met a young man by the name of Bill Boykin. Bill, wqo was sitting on the platform at the time, was in Japan during his time in the army and had become acquainted with Harry and Alfred Fujita at Mt. Akagi, the only self-supporting school in Japan. The boys were happy to meet again at Wildwood. On Sabbath afternoon Harry and Bill· joined in telling experiences to a group of about twenty-five, emphasizing how the Lord leads in establishing these units, wherever they are. A hearty thank you to those at Wildwood who made the Madison students feel so much at home .. over the weekend. If you haven't visited Wildwood, you will be inspired and helped by doing so. While at Wildwood the boys learned of a recent gift to the institution that will mean much to the work there. A company in Chattanooga has donated. material~) and labor for about one-half mile of paved roads Wtiich will connect the :~various buildings. For most of us this -is our first time to fill out income tax returns with no help. One Qf our girls has a new name for the income tax department of the government. She addressed her letter to the Department of Eternal Revenue! One evening recently the Wasiota men accepted our invitation to join us in some marches in the gym, led by President Sandborn and Shirley Burk. After the marches we served punch before going back to our dorms. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Mayden, 1920 N.W. 29th St., Miami, Florida, are in ·their second year of teaching at Miami Junior Academy. Harry and Joyce are both graduates of Madison College, he finishing in 1957 and she in 1955. Campus residents remember Mrs. Mayden, the former Joyce Christensen, for her many contributions to the musical life of the college. Joyce writes that Harry is now the choir director at the Miami Springs Church. Harry was a charter member of the Criterion Quartet here on the campus. Seems that the Maydens .usually keep up with Madi- son news through Alfred and Bonnie Durham, who pass on their copies of the MADISON lA~. Alfred Durham, also a Madison College graduate, Class of '55, is a lab technician at Hialeah Sanitar- ium, where so many Madisonites are located. His wife, the former Bonnie Ryals, was also a Madison student. A/2c David Harter, who graduated from Madison College Academy in 1955, was recently awarded the "Outstanding Airman Award" at Carswell Air Force Base, Ft. Worth, Texas, where he is stationed as an artist in the U.S. Air Force. Based on personal ap- pearance, courtesy, outstanding performance of duty and a spirit of co-operation, this award covered a time period of six months ending December 31, 1958. David is the son of Mrs. Betty Harter, music and art teacher at Madison College. Mr. and Mrs. Neil BiurrUI!l, of the Chulumani, Bolivia, hospital, announce the birth of Hernan Haroldo, born February 15. Mr. Biurrum is an Anesthesia graduate of 1958. He and his wife are both ,working in the mission hospital. It is good to see Eulene Borton here on the cam- pus. She came to be with her mother, Mrs. John Owens, of Highland Academy, ~ho recently under- went surgeryf at Madison Sanitarium and Hospital. LeRoy (Clas~--of' '57) and Eulene -and little Loni Lynn are -now at 'El Campo, Te~as, :where· LeRoy is a laboratory' fl!chniCian. · · · · : , · :<::L New Missionaries Write from Brazil Lorraine and Joe Fields are sharing with MADISONIAN readers portions of a letter they received from their sister, Nancy Gibbons. Nancy, Jack, and little Nancy Lynne left recently for mission work on the Amazon River. They wrote from Belem, Brazil, where they were temporarily &taying. Their permanent address is Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gibbons, Central Amazon Mission, Caixa Postal 143, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. · Dear Lorraine and Joe: We left New York on January 13 and half the time we were sea- sick. The only place we stopped on the way down was Trinidad. There we met Dr. and Mrs. Am- mundsen from California, who work in our hospitaL ... Also we visited 'the college. While there we met Walter Tate, Herbert Tate's brother, and Elder Thomson, a good friend' of Elder Mills. We had dinner with the Ammundsens, and it really was good after the ship's food. . . . Belem is a large city for here but it is not modern. It will have' a skyscraper with 27 stories when it is completed. . .. . Mangos, papaya, bananas (22 kinds), pine- apples, oranges, avocado, and pas. sion fruit are abundant. . . . Als:> cocoanut is plenti~ul. We have to boil our water and use powdered milk. I will make all our bread and gluten. We use Brazil nuts, cashews, and peanuts. . . . Peanut butter, honey, and soya flour come from our school in south Brazil. The houses here are quite .nice, although the bathroom doesn't work half the time, and the water pressure is too low to take a cold shower, and the lights . go off for half a day without n1t1ce. There is only cold water in all the house .... · P.S. We need a typewriter. (Note: We are especially glad to bring news to readers from Madi- sonites who have gone to m:ssion fields. We hope to have more to share with you in the future.) Concert-from p.

From Mud to Beauty Victorio Rivera works on his plaque of the head of Christ. On the table are displayed articles made by various members of Mrs. Harter's ceramics class. One of the mJst popular classes being taught on the campus this year is Mrs. Harter's class in ceramics. Meetin5 on Monday and Thursday evenings it is also open to members of the campus com- munity. The art of ceramics is one of the oldest industries known to man-· kind and makes use of the simplest of materials, the main one being just plain "mud" or clay. Today students of this craft follow much the same procedure as did their ancient forefathers. The first step is the molding of the clay. If in a liquid form, it is poured into plaster of Paris molds to harden into the desired shape. If more pliable, it is molded by hand. The second step is the firing, which Madison studeitts do by means of an electr:c oven whose temperature rises to 1800°F and above. Mter the firing, the design is painted on the molded object after which it is again put through the firing process, from which it emerges a finished product. · Mrs. Harter has bad extensive training and teaching experience in this field. The recent exhibit put on by members of her class last December made an impressive showing. Mrs. Lamar of the Lamar 'Ceramff'$ s·ud!o in Nashville, who visited the display, was so pleased with their work and es- pecially with Victor Rivera's plaque (If the head of Christ that she wrote an article which will appear in the near future, along with a picture, in a national magazine known as Popular Ceramics.

Each student is contrib- uting one piece of work each quarter toward th building up of a permanent d:splay of ceramic art work for Mad· s·on College. Ceramics · s a two-hour class and is offered for two quarters. Special techniques are the subject of their study this quarter. Another display of students' work will appear on March 1 . Six new students have joined the class this quarter in- cluding Mrs. Olga Lorenz and her daughter-in-law Mrs. E v e r e t t Lorenz, Joe Fields. Pedro Ramos, Blanch Wilson, and Sam Alabata, who has just finished a very lovely ceram~c orchid. At present three students are buildin5 their own kilns. Wh:Ie snme plan to use this class as the basis for a fascinating hobby, others are looking forward to using it in connection with their tea':!hing profession. Several stu- dents are even planning to use this art or craft as an industry in a self-supporting unit. On the Sick List Dr. J. C. Gant, Mrs. James D. Simmons, Mr. W. H. Gorich, and Mr. James Woodson are all re- cuperating after being in the hos- pital for varying lengths of time. The'r many friends have missed them and wish for them a soon re- turn to their places of responsi- bility in their homes and on the campus. Dean Byers and Mr. Godfrey Duran, who were reported in the last paper, are still improving. Acc:>rding to latest reports, Dean Byers will be in his office in a few days. H ~ H PAINT & SUPPLY, Inc.

Guidance Clinic-from p. I The first part of each eve- ning's meeting was given over to _ a question box and a motion pic- ture emphasizing proper home re- lations. The counsel given at the 7:30- 8:30 meetings each evening was directed especially to parents, al- though many students attended. Love, security, responsibility, and success were presented as the four foundation pillars -for a home in connection with the training of a child. In speaking of the importance of establishing right attitudes in the home, Elder Dart said, "At- titudes are caught, not taught. What a child sees and what he hears day by day _ in the home make up his attitudes." Students, teachers, and parents have expressed themselves as feel- Have you ever given a Bible study? If not, you have not ex- perienced the thrill that comes from knowing you have brought someone closer to Jesus. A few MV's are already giving studies on Thursday evenings. On Sabbath afternoons many are participating in the handing out of the "It Is 1 Written" lessons, which will lead to more requests for Bible studies. Then, when the Old Hickory meet- ings begin, still more opportunities will open. The Master Guide Club, under the leadership of Nancy Currier and Mrs. Sossong, is progressing. Come one! Come all! Everyone can be a master guide.

Love is the basis of all that is ?ood, great, and everlasting. Love IS powerful, yet it is gentle, for the strongest love is at times found in the weakest child. Love is not a mere feeling; it goes deeper than feeling. It is the answer and reason for many things. We should make every day a day of love, a Valentine's day. Love should rule in our lives. Then all hatred and wrongs will be made right daily. Let us always keep our hearts open to the source of all love: "God is love." When He dwells in our hearts, love will rule supreme -always. L.B .. You Can Help, Too ''Everyone win one before the sixties have begun." This slogan of our c o ll.e g e .church is also the slogan of the .academy students who. are par- ticipating in the evangelism pro- _gram. If you could pass through the halls of the dormitories, you would hear students tellin1:1 ex- periences of their Bible c~rres­ pondence surveys. You would also hear ·of plans for giving Bible studies. Enthusiasm for evangel- .ism is spreading everywhere. Should you see the academy youth as they go from home to home inviting people to study their Bibles and learn of Christ, your heart would thrill as you see what young people can do. Fellow students, you may say you can't engage in evangelism, but with God's help you can. No service is too great to give back to Christ in exchange for the life He has given us through His death. l, H. G.

The seniors had all gathered in front of Assem- bly Hall awaiting the arrival of the school bus and the driver Mr. Dickman. Mr. Dickman likely thought the drizzling rain would dampen the seniors' spirits for it was a little before five. ~hen they finally got him out of bed and on the bus. ~ha?~s to Clyde Ball and Larry ReiSWl:J s cleverly operated wind- shield wipers, the bus whizzed along in spite of the rain. The seniors were off for a full day, for they were comb'ining a trip to Col- legedale with a history field. trip to Chattanooga and Civil War shrines. As the bus sped along, the sen- iors recognized a familiar car-. the Culpeppers' Reo on its way, al- so, to Collegedale, where Rebecca would try for the Southern Union title in the. oratorical c:mtest. Although they passed the Reo they soon met at the ~{ict'itoriun{ at SMC. The contest was very good, and although Rebecca didn't win first place, she came in second. The seniors . were proud of their class- mate, who in their estimation was tops. During· the history tou:..· in ChJ.t. tanooga the class saw the Con- federate engine, t h e General which is famous for the great train chase, when it was captured by the Union Army but ultimately recaptured by the Confederates. The seniors also went to Look- out Mountain, famous in Civil War history. In the museum they saw life-like wax figures of soldiers and many scenes connected with the Civil War-for instance, the signing of the papers by the Con- federates admitting their defeat. There were also exhibits of Civil W a r weapons, uniforms, a n d equipment. Upon returning, the seniors pre- sented Mr. Dickman with a Valen- tine box of "candy as a token of appreciation. They thank Mr. Dick- man, Mr. Fragola, their history teacher, and· all those who made the enjoyable trip possible. L.B. .HENSHAW FURNITURE CO.
