It is my pleasure at this time
to r< 'ate to the reading public of
TWC some events in my most fas
'inating and exciting life. First,
my name is Wilbur T. Snafu, T. foi

'? begin my routine of a school
day at 6:00 A.M. with a tub of
cold wat r thrown lovingly in my
a -e by my mother, Queenie. I eat
is small breakfast composed of
Wght pieces of toast, four eggs, two
ups of coffee, a grapefruit, and
s'abs of jelly and butter. Upon

the Pirates," put axle grease on
my hajr. and am on my way with
my pencil stub stuck firmly b -
hind my car with my gum.
I boSrd the bus, give the driv-
er my half fare, grab my trans-
r, and s ek a seat, but to no

a problem that makes Einstein
rack his brain, and end up by hav-
ing the Bible class accuse me of
ki'ling Abel.
For my good behavior I am giv-
n an "off" period. I trot over to
Rcnfro's for a glass of water while
my little girl friend Iodine Siphu,
alias Swe tie Face, eats her eve-
ning meal. She eats like a bird
like a pelican.
I also enjoy my Biology elasss
(pause for a laugh). I never km cw
a dirty little earthworm could be
so much trouble to me, a fond
t'ishgjftian.

my father. Blackjack Pete, pro
