8-Day Vacation
To Be Enjoyed;
Return On 25th
Some 350 Brevard college stu
dents will get a welcomed eight-
day spring holiday vacation begin
ning at noon tomorrow and last
ing until Monday, April 25.
To some, the break from the
monotonous life of a college stu
dent will come as a much-needed
rest, while to others it will only
mean the packing and unpacking
of suitcases. But, needless to say,
there is no doubt that the vacation
will be enjoyed and taken advan
tage of by all.
This year’s spring vacation will
mark the first at Brevard since
1947. Last year the holidays were
cut out because of a delay in the
opening of school due to construc
tion bn the campus.
Only five weeks will remain in
the current school year after the
return from the holidays, the last
of these being set aside for final
examinations and graduation exer
cises.
