FAMILY AFFAIR Can you imagine living with twelve brothers and sisters? Kit Hayslett. the youngest of thirteen siblings, com- mented. I like to have so many in our family because I am never alone or lonely. There is always someone home. All of the Hayslett's have at- tended Central. Let's face it families are not the same. Another family, such as Tina Thurn's. may only have two members; Tina and her two-vear-old son Tony. Tina is still able to attend school because her sister watches Tony in the morn- ing. Raising a child is a lot of responsi- bility ond I have learned a great deal from it. explained Tina. Relationships differ within each household. Sometimes a mother may seem like an older sister. My mom always tries to understand everyth- ing. She looks at situations from a par- ent's point of view, and a teen- ager's. thoughtfully commented Ju- nior Cyndi Cox. Sometimes a brother of a new baby is old enough to be the father. Senior Ted Godwin hds a nine-month old sis- ter Maggie. When he was told that his mother was pregnant, Ted said that he could hdrdly believe it. He wondered if it would be too hard on his mother, it was a big adjustment at first, having a little baby around the house, especially since I can bar- ely remember my other sister at that age. I think Maggie has helped unify our family. It matters not how old parents are. the number of family members, or the age difference between brothers and sisters. The most important as- pect is the special relationship be- tween its members. YS 20
