Holidays Provided New Spirit. Holidays provided an opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of college, to relax and to enjoy favor- ite pastimes. The holiday spirit actually began days in advance. We became lazy and carefree, waiting for noon on Fri- day. Home, beaches, jobs and other re- treats waited in the outside world. Left behind were memories and a deserted campus. Holidays spread an emptiness over the campus. Some always had late classes Many happy hours were spent in P.C. Santa always adds to the Christmas spirit
