New Receptionist

By "JINX" WILSON
"There's a boy at Carolina
whose name starts with 'B.' He
lives over that way. Where can I
find him?" "Here's a bottle of
vaccine I want kept cold. Can you
help me?"
Such questions as these are
rapidly becoming everyday routine
to Mrs. Nell Echer Pritchard, the
new receptionist and purveyor of
information at the info desk in
Maxey College.
A native of Columbia, Mrs. Prit
chard has spent much of her life
in cities far removed from her old
home tovn. After earning her A.B.
at Winthrop College, she taught
English in Wardlaw Junior High
School for a year. Then she worked
as a Spanish translator in Miami,
Florida, taught Freshman English
at the University of Nebraska, and

served as a lieutenant in the United
States Navy. While in the Navy she
was stationed in New York City,
and says she enjoyed her work
there more than the various other
positions she has held. Mrs. Prit
chard's experiences were so varied,
however, that she finds it hard
to compare one job to another.
The brown-haired, blue - eyed
woman has finally "come home to
roost," however, and is a graduate
student at Carolina. As soon as
she prepares her thesis, she will
receive her M.S. Degree in Eng
lish.
"Although. Carolina is smaller
than most universities I have visi
ted, the school spirit is much
stronger. By school spirit, I don't
mean only the football spirit, but
the all-over feeling that the stu
dents hold for the school," opined
Mrs. Pritchard, who also said that
being from Columbia has little to
do with her impression of Carolina.
Mrs. Pritchard is replacing Miss
Jane Brooks Marshall, who has
left with the America4i Red Cross
for Korea, where she will set up a
recreational club for troops there.
Miss Marshall is a graduate of
Carolina's School of Journalism.
