eeing double lately? It wouldn't be surprising conf sidering the many twins on ' campus and of those fifteen twins, fifty percent of them were identical. Our parents still can't tell us apart! said seniors Frank and Mark Cardiell. Contrary to po ular belief, most of the twins saidn they didn't feel that they got any special advantages from being twins. Some of them, however, did manage to receive benefits from their situation. One April Fool's Day, we switched all our classes and our teachers never found out, said freshman Shelly Howe. The identical twins seemed to have fun changin identities, but what about the fraternal twins? They couldn't switch classes, work at each other's jobs, or go out with the other's boyfriend or girlfriend. Sometimes, however, the element of surprise can be fun, too. Since Iererny is my twin brother, it's really neat because when peo le find out we're twins, they're reallly surprised, said Kathy Murphy, fres man. Keshila Iones said she felt the same way about her twin brother Walter. Most of the twins got along reall wellwith each other. We have afl of the same friends, said Anna and Ellen Kim. Others are so close that when one hurts, the other hurts. At soccer practice one day, I got stung by a bee and that same day, so did Deanna. said Melanie Mar- shall, freshman. Even though there are some twins who get along, most of the other twins are just like regular brothers and sisters - they don't get along! They said theystay as far away from each other as possible, they dress totally different, and they take different classes. It's hard to believe that most of these eople actually dressed alike when they were little!
