B.G., Milt
Blaine is a fellow to envy! Not getting enough "juice" from academics, he studies radio for pleasure, tinkers with a homemade set when he is not writing letters. Another reason to envy him is his record of a letter per day without fail—the snake! Fortified with two years of college, "B.G." had few academic difficulties. He is always ready to lend a helping hand.
