However, he is extremely hard-working and, although they don't always show it, he is widely admired by the students at Riverdale High. He is quite friendly with the cafeteria chef Miss Beazley
. His birthday is June 21. He first appeared in Archies Jokebook #35.

On another occasion, he reported to Weatherbee that the school had exhausted its supply of paper, notepads, pens, pencils and other items; Weatherbee told him to simply make out a requisition; Svenson replied, "Vit vot?"
