Look alikes Ronnie and Donnie Woolridge sit in the lobby. double-take! double-take! Presently enrolled in ACHS are nine sets of twins. At times this can be very confusing, but each twin has charac- teristics belonging to him and only him. This was proved when we interviewed the Wooldridges, Edwards, Millers, Loys, Martins, Corbins, Knifleys, Allenders, and the Grants. Pat Edwards and his carbon copy Sam, two of perhaps the most identi- cal twins at ACHS, both like the color blue. When asked how they liked being twins. Pat replied. I get asked too many questions, but Sam liked it. Nioki and Naomi Loy both like hav- ing a twin. Naomi replied, “I think its fun having a sister your own age. If the Loys could change anything about ACHS, they both agreed it would be making lunch longer. Two more fascinating facsimiles walking the halls of ACHS are Ray and Clay Martin. Clay feels having a twin “sort of makes you feel special. Ray said, It's kind of like having two of yourself: a permanent friend. Clay likes springtime while Ray prefers the fall. Timmy and Tammy Corbin felt in- different about their twinship. “It’s no different than just being brother and sister, Tammy replied. Timmy’s fa- vorite color is green and he spends a lot of his time watching T.V. If Tammy could change anything about ACHS it would be the demerit system. Jeff and Joe Knifley like using their similar looks to fool teachers. Joe’s favorite class is Latin, and if Jeff could change anything about ACHS, we would have longer between classes, classes. Going on with our quest for dupli- cates, we discovered Mary and Leila Pat Edwards and his duplicate Sam relax on the front steps of ACHS. Although Timmy Miller and his brother Jimmy don't appear to be twins, twins they are. 22 twins Naomi and Nioki Loy reflect upon their twin- ship

Ellen Hancock and Sheila Curry examine each other's new class rings. Brenda VanAradale and Jeff Knifley lind that class rings are useful in a romance. The Mark Of A Winner The excitement of ordering class rings thrills many ACHS students every year. Though they are expensive, no one will be without one. They charac- terize the individual character and per- sonal taste of their owners. Each ring contains a colorful stone. The student chooses from a selection of various cuts, sizes, and settings. On each ring is a select-a-side which is for the stu- dent to place the emblem of his choice. The rings are set in either gold, white gold, or silver. The cost of the ring depends on the choice of setting, cut, etc. This year the prices ranged from $55.00 to about $168.00. One of the most ex- pensive rings was ordered by Bruce Willis, who selected many of the op- tions offered. The price of gold has caused the price of the gold rings to almost double from those of last year. Jostens came to take orders early this year. This was also because of the ris- ing price of gold. The sales representa- tive from Jostens, where the rings were ordered, was Mr. Jerry Bush. He stat- ed, By ordering the rings in April in- stead of February this year, each stu- dent who ordered a 10k gold ring saved about $46.00. A class ring is symbolic of many things. It symbolizes the graduation of a student from high school and the activities that he participated in while he was in high school. It symbolizes its owner, a winner. He is a winner be- cause he has completed the task of a good education. He is a winner be- cause he has endured the hard years of growing up and is now a young adult. He is ready to begin his future. To freshmen and sophomores, class rings are something to look forward to. To juniors and seniors they are some- thing to cherish for a very long time.

II would seem that Ray and Clay Martin have been 'trained Allender. Leila feels being a twin is different,” while Mary likes it be- cause it makes her and her sister clos- er friends. Leila likes summer and playing basketball. Mary likes to talk on the phone and to run around. Kerry Grant doesn’t enjoy being a twin because he says they fight all the time, but his sister Sherry likes it be- cause she wins the fights. Sherry likes math and enjoys riding around. If Kerry could have one wish it would be to grow five inches. Ronnie and Donnie Wooldridge and Timmy Miller weren't available for interviews and last but not least is Jimmy Miller. Jimmy feels being Timmy’s twin makes them closer friends. He spends a lot of time work- ing with his father. No two are exactly alike, but as one sees, some can fool just about anyone. Kerry Grant and his twin sister Sherry are ready to ride away on his Honda Leila Allender seems to have mirrored her sister Mary'e appearance 23 twins
