Brouwers points out that missionary work in foreign lands has almost eclipsed the attention given to the home missions.

I am confident you will help the Homecoming Com¬ mittee to make this a great suc¬ cess. Some of the other major events planned for the year include: Sports Spectacular, Spring Musi¬ cal, Art Exhibit, Basketball bus trips, bon-fire rallies, and Foreign Students Day.
