In the midst of this frivolity, how- ever, the meaning of Easter was not for- gotten. While many students attended church services with their families, local churches welcomed those unable to spend Easter at home. Maybe home is not so much a place as a state of mind. At Davidson, our friends help us gain those feelings of warmth.
