He is a familiar figure around the studios, especially in the newspaper offices, for he was on the Elm Bark staff for four years, and he was its successful editor during his third and fourth years. He was one of the organizers of the Saturday Soviet. Ted has an uncanny ability for producing, on the spur of the moment, excellent original verse, poem, or song to suit any mood or occasion. If you want to know anything about English ask Ted-hell know. Ted has two especially enviable traits — his thorough knowledge of English and his immunity to worry about anything. [ 18 ]
