Miss Ritter, M. A. '14, was a visitor on the campus last week. Miss Ritter has been teaching in Holly Hill during the past year. The senior co-eds are looking forward with pleasure to the re ception to be given them the hrst of May, by the freshmen, sophomores and juniors. In view of the coming reception all undergraduates are looking for positions as cooks or wash women. Mrs. Love offers no recommendations, but any one willing to take the risk may ap ply at the study.
