Have. You Met Flo?
She's The Newest
Popularity Queen
The most popular female on
and off campus is "Flo". Anyone
who doesn't know her personally
has seen her, even though she
just came to the campus this se
mester. Eager males flock her
way; little boys look on with
wonder and amazement; no mat
ter where she goes, people smile.
Indeed. she's something to be ad
mired.
"Flo" is the Crosley convertible
with the green body and red up
holstery that can be seen dashing
down Colleges, avenue, whizzing
up Fairmount. and squeezing into
the• most limited parking space,
any time, any day. Beta Sigma
Rho pledge Mickey Becket and
frater Bob Freedman, both Ex-
G-I's are the lucky owners in a
town and at a time where even a
covered wagon would satisfy
Many of the car-hungry veterans.
Standing three ,feet .above the
ground and stretching eight feet
along the curb, "Flo" is an inex
pensive proposition. Her gas tank,
which is under the hood,holds only
four gallon's, but who cares: "Fib"
travels 45 to 50 miles on just one.
In fact, , Mickey and Bob drove
her to school from Philadelphia
in ten hours on only four and •a
half gallons of gas. "And what a
commotion we caused every time
we stopped,",Bob said. "People al
ways wanted us to pull over so
they could life up the hood and
have a look."
Speed Limit, 45
."Flo zooms down a level road 45
miles an hour," Mickey added,
"and 60 down hill." It took a lot
of prodding before either Mickey
or Bob would tell the eral story
about acquiring "Flo." But, when
it finally came out, with addi
tions, corrections and subtrac
tions from the whole fraternity,
Collegian found out that as in all
good enterpises, there was a girl
involved and her name was
Florence, as one might have
guessed.
Mickey began dating Florence
after he got back from overseas,
and Florence fell hard. However.
she was going to Florida to school
and wanting to show Mickey how
:nuch she cared, she sold hilyt the
car. "But," Mickey argued, "I
only bought it for lack of any
thing better to do with 5200. At
any rate, Florence left Philadel
phia, and Mickey dated other
other girls. So did Flo, in fact, she
is now engaged to be married.
How does Mickey fekl about it?
"Well, I have the car," he con
cluded.
Speedometer?
It didn' t take long to find out
that "Flo" needed a new motor
and starter before she'd be fit to
-make the trip to State College.
That's when Bob became half
owner. However, she's in good
condition now; that is if you over
look the broken speedometer.
Wayne, Pa., is the only place in
the state where the boys can buy
replacement parts.
Equipped with a regular size
battery, free wheeling, and sliding
windows, the Beta Sigs pile in
(four or five at a time cause that's
all "Flo" can hold).
Everybody everywhere else is
loking at the new Buick, but
State College has their eyes on
"Flo." Offers are "a dime a dozen,
but we wouldn't sell her for the
world," the owners said.
