” Ah, ;
. JOE MILNITE
In our circlo of scqurintences thore is one who stands out to such
degroo thot his monnerisms sre oxtromely intoresting to study, This porson,
Joo Milnite by nemo, is no doubt n fomilirr figuro to the mejority of our
readers, Knowing him so well end admiring him so much, they surely will not
mind if we endeavor to put on paper our conception of his character.
Joe Milnite goes to Milne High School, where he is getting his educa-
tion, When he graduetes he intends to Do Something for the Yorld. In the
meantime, therefore, he is content to wait nround and bask in the sunshine of
knowledge. He is superior to his female contempornries st Milne, but, rerl-
izing thet they are sensitive crentures, he never mentions the fact.
Joe's moin interost is the forming of opinions, He has nn opinion on
everything, which he is more then glnd to oxpress at ony time) Joe's tenchers
sometimos find it nm bit nnnoying when Joe impnrts his views at odd moments,
Thoy renlizc, howover, thnt solf-oxprussion is nan importnnt pert of Joo's
education,
As for his tonchors, Joo is very interested in thom! Ho feols thet ho
hns something to give thom. He docs not mind, slso, if they tench him some-
thing in return,
Joo hrs meny friends. Thoro is something nbout him which seoms to draw
fll sorts of poople to him, Although Joo renlizes this, his modusty kuceps him
from roforring to it,
Spneo forbids our doscribing Joo Milnite in full, for which wo beg our
rondors' indulgonce, We hope that wo hnvo not conveyed any orronvous impros-
sions in this nttompt to portrny the substrnco of Joo Milnite's ch:ractor, As
for ourselves, wo find him unusurl in .ll respects rnd he will novoer conse to
bo a source of wonder to us.
Yours truly, The Editor

DISSERTATION ON ROAST TURKEY
Just where would one start ona turkey? Hither the neck or the
‘yumble-seat". would do, I imagine. Upon the question of attack, it is
entirely up to the attacker's ‘tempercment as to what weapons would be used.
If you were the dainty, precise type, you would probably use a carved fork,
elegently fashioned with a monogrom, und one of those knives which ere made
to fit the palm of the hand “nd wiosc blede is cimilar to thet of oa razor.
If you are the bold, ond rather "braggadocious" kind of person,
you vould probably use a huge fork with long, sharp tines end knife capable
of splitting the turkey from "stem to stern". Then comes the ordinary,
"gorden-voriety" type of person who vould probably use a reguler, black-
hendled kitchen knife and fork.
Back to the ettock \ Suppose you were ordered to sit at the head of a
long, food-bedecked benquet teble «nd had to carve and serve the turkey.
Would you chop the wings, legs, neck, end tail off first; or would you start
at the neces and work down, giving the next-to-lzest person the "sea
trouble", After sll, being the last person myself, I couldn't be ss mean as
thet.
Then, comes the "mining" problem. How do you get into one of these
"hirds", anywey? You know, perfectly well, thet in are probably stuffed
chestnuts or ersb-apples for dressing.
There is clse the problem of how te prevent yourself from drooling on
the turkey in your intense hunger. After putting 2 napkin over the parts of
the cercess, upon which you are not working, you mey rest in peace.
I make 2 motion for newer and better zippers on turkeys. --After oll,
you cen't spend 211 of Thanksgiving dsy corving the turkey ! Thus is the life
of = turkey carver snd the death uf the turkey.
