General Exodus Has Command As Spring Holidays Begin Today Students Will Go Home, Travel or Stay and Study During Five Day Vacation By Marion Bolton Hasty packing of bags, last minute check-ups on bus schedules and train time-tables, eagerly-awaited arrival of friends to take someone home, hurried "Good-byes" and admonitions to have a good time,-all will give evidence of the beginning of Stetson's spring vacation. Some will stay on campus to work on term papers or to catch up on their work. Others will take books home with noble intentions of doing that outside reading. Most, however, will abandon all thought of school* work and concentrate on more pleasant activities. New Easter outfits will occu* py the attention of many. Visit to the nearest metropolis to see the latest creations of fashion and to try on these ducky little hats and frantic searches to find the exact shade of gloves to match her new bag will keep our co-ed busy. As she lays out her new outfit Saturday night she wonders "What will the Easter bunny bring me?" Will it be an orchid, or gardenias, or roses? Vacation to some will offer an opportunity to visit old friends and acquaintances. Others per* haps, are planning to take trips, to visit new places and enjoy new experiences. Tuesday morning it will all be over. Only a pleasant memory will remain.
