Ritter attended the 19o8 Project with the Loman Elementary School for the physically handicapped.
Remembers Present "I mainly remember receiving a present and seein" a show, but a project such a? this can go deeper by helping the children and the students who organize it.’’ he said.
“It is very worth while.'' he continued, “that USC students take part in this type of positive, community activity instead of negative college activity."
“It usually means a great deal to the children who are invited.”
Show at Bovard The Christmas Project was discontinued for almost ten years. It will begin again tomorrow at 11 a.m. when 600 children arrive at Bovard Auditorium.
At 1 p.m. the guests will return to Bovard for a show. It will feature Bill Matteucci as ^anta and Cathy Crosby. Helen of Troy, as Mrs. Santa, Claus.
