Once again I sat down at the long row of stools. Once again I ordered a cup of coffee that is really good, and a bowl 1 of savory chili. The fellow behind the counter served them almost immediately. I knew by this time that his name was Lefty. When he brought my check I spoke. "Say Lefty, just what does make TEDDY’S tick?" He thought for a moment then smiled and replied, "You know I’ve been wondering how long you were going to keep coming in here before you’d ask that question. Bill (Bill’s the fellow who runs TEDDY’S during the day.) and I knew that you were up to something as soon as you started coming in here and ordering prac tically everything on the menu." I interrupted him long enough to order another cup of coffee and a couple of the best hamburgers in town. "We knew what was bothering you, but wc weren’t going to tell you. If you don’t know the answer now, after eating that third western sandwich, you never will." But I did know the answer. The mystery was solved. It’s the food at TEDDY'S that draws the crowds, makes the difference. It’s the big wholesome sandwiches, dinners, short orders, and beverages served the way that you want them served —warm and quickly. Good service, fast serv ice, and at the lowest prices in town ; all combine to make TEDDY’S the popular haunt that it is. I repeated these things to Lefty and a broad smile covered his face. Not until I got up to leave did he speak. "Sov where are you going, Short Hand ?'* I told him that I was playing Santa Claus to a beautiful blond. ‘‘Well then don't let me hold you back. I just wanted to wish you and all the students a MERRY CHRIST MAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR. See ya later! That's for sure Lefty. That's for sore. THE END Floral Agency Called Success The student floral agency, which has served students for the Junior prom and Military ball, has been termed a success by its manager, Lincoln Van Sickel. Van Sickel and Allan Reece of the student employment service gave approximate gross as $375 for the Junior prom and $250 for the Military ball. The decrease in business for the Military ball was anticipated since a limited num ber of tickets was sold. Delivery of corsages to the men’s rooms is one of the serv ices offered by the floral agency. Prices are cut slightly for stu m | 8 I H ||ss; William C. McLain 410 Telegraph Bldg. Phone 6-1782 Harrisburg, Pa. SCOOP. . . Joe Breu, at present, is a writer without a sport to write about. Baseball writer in sea son, he will, however, keep his typewriter in working order over- the winter by bringing Penn State basketball fans personal interviews with the Lion players in the “Vignette” column. Joe got his start in the sports reporting world as sports edi tor of his high school paper in his senior year. He also work ed on the evening paper in his home town, Carlisle. After graduation from high school, he entered Penn State and- spent his first year at Shippensburg state teachers college. In the fall of 1948 he came to State, where he cov ered the spring activities of the Nittany track team dur ing 1949 and 1950, and cross country last fall. Say It's Not So In a moment of weakness Breu allowed himself to be talked out of writing the do ings of Penn State’s champion ship cross country team: this fall. He was given the Major League baseball beat and suf fered untold agonies as the Yankees kayoed his beloved Phillies in the World Series. This spring, the Carlisle journalism senior will be keeping Lion baseball followers abrest of their team’s activi ties. Until then he will continue to knock out interviews, features, and (perish the thought) front page stories. Joe Says: I’ve found that when I want to gel the latest news about a sports event, a sure place to find it is at Graham’s. They always have the accurate, up-to* the-minute information I want. And I’ve found that I can get the latest sports* magaxines at Graham’s as soon as they are out. For news of sports, both local and national, it’s Graham’s everytime. Established 1896 dents buying through this group. Cooperating with the agency are all three of the State College florists; Woodring floral gardens, State College floral shop, and Bill McMullen. James Conway, John Bunnell and Donald Hoke are the mem bers of the new agency which, is managed by Lincoln Van SickeL The agency will probably op erate for the WRA sweetheart dance in February. Agency rep resentatives take orders -in Nit tany and Pollock dorms and in Hamilton hall for the West dorms.
