One purpose of this event was to replace the school van by selling pledges to raise money. Another reason was to draw positive atten- tion to Gross High School. Clothed in their school colors, stu- dents traveled by bus to four differ- ent locations where they would be- gin their long journey back to Gross. Seniors started at Our Lady of Lourdes, juniors began at the Sarpy 68fjuniors County Court House, sophomores started at St. Mary's of Bellevue, and the freshmen traveled from St. Mar- garet Mary's. After the students returned to school, they were greeted by re- freshments and warmth.

The most common disadvantage of being a twin was a problem with identity. Identical twins were con- tinuously mistaken for each other. jason Krist said, Everyone always had our names mixed up. People also mixed up our talents and ex- pected us to be exactly alike.

Steve True said, You can share things like clothes or change places to trick people. Also,,you almost al- ways have someone there that you can count on, even though Dave and I are rivals in just about everything. Although having a twin brother or sister gave each person a friend, competition in sports and academics was familiar. Mark Vara said, Chris and I have always tried out for the 351 , xx ..-i 1.

Meredith jarecke commented, With having the same classes, Mark and I tried to get better grades than each other. just because they have the same birth dates doesn't mean they had the same interests. Scott Henely said, I enjoy the outdoors and like to fish and hunt, but Doug isn't too crazy about it. He also likes many preppy clothes that I don't Iike. . is
