Snecial Sets This year the walls of DSHS held 12 sets of twins, both fraternal and paternal. Each class, from freshmen to senior, contained twins which were found to participate in various activities ranging from music to sports. From the junior class twins Heather and Heidi Connolly commented on the life style of twins. You always have someone to talk to, said Heather, and of course, you can share clothes. Heather and Heidi find that more often then not their friends have conflicts due from confusion. Heidi enjoys life as a twin. I think it's a special feeling. We're as close as we can be, the closest in our family. added Heather. The girls also enjoy being unique. Heather finds her taste for clothing more casual as compared to Heidi's tastes for the New York look. Both girls have their own plans for the future. Heidi wants to attend Iowa State to go into the dental field. Heather would prefer to graduate early and get into a business career. Another set of Senior twins is that of John and Jim Haberkorn. They have a different outlook on life as twins. it's no fun at all says John. We're always afraid of who's going to get the attention at home. John does not seem to care where the interest goes, as long as good grades show up on report card day. l really care about my grades. l'd like to go to college and then on to medical school. Jim has military lifestyles in mind. l'd like to go into the Army. John and l are totally different people. For mixed twin sets, such as Ellen and Eric Clark, life seems pretty normal. We're like any other set of brother and sister. they commented. Ellen has found that she takes school more seriously than Eric. Eric seems more interested in competing for attention. We compete at home alot. Eric and Ellen both have colleges picked out for next year. Eric is going to Madison Wisconsin whereas Ellen is headed for Valley University of Indiana.
