Spring Holidays
Begin March 23
Because of the simultaneous
revival services to be held in
churches of the Southern Bap
tist Convention, March 25 to
April 8, spring holidays for
Mars Hill College have been set
for one week later than the
catalog date. They now extend
from noon March 23 to noon
April 2.
The new date for holidays
will enable students to be in
their home churches for the
first week of the revival.. It will
also leave students and faculty
members free to assist in ser
vices in other churches. Several
have already received invita
tions, and many others plan to
be active in the revival work.
