-AKE TWO — OR MAYBE THREE Take two. Automatically you think of twins, SRA testing, and Media Productions, right? No? Well the students at NHS did at least. For those of you who walked through the halls and began to think you had double vision”, don't worry! Actually NHS had many sets of twins and at least one set of triplets. Although some of the matched pairs were identical, some were fra- ternal and often not even noticed as being a twin or a triplet. Most people never even noticed that the Blackley's, the triplets, were related. The three seemed to find it strange that hardly anyone ever connected their names and figured it out. The funniest thing that happens to us is when a teach- er has all three of us in her class, and finally around the middle of the year she'll ask us if we're cousins.” said Trent Blackley, the only boy of the three. Another interpretation of take two” was very familiar to the juniors. Everyday during the SRA tests they heard their teacher's voice, Take two 2 pencils with you.” While the seniors were at home, cozy in bed, the juniors were getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning in order to make it to school on time for their eleventh year of testing. I'm just glad it's finally over. It's going to be great next year when we can sleep in and the juniors have to get up and go take tests all morn- ing.” said Paul Behrman. “Take two” had still another meaning to the students in Media Productions. It usually meant a second chance to improve and redo, but not this time. This time, to the class' surprise, there would be no re-take. Their practice shot” would be aired on channel 8 for everyone to view. Take two” may have puzzled some, but NHS students knew exactly what it meant. IN A RARE MOMENT. Ch:. and B: n TV- one of NHS’ sets of twins, are caught together before going their separate ways for the day. ARRIVING AT SCHOOL TOGETHER not uncommon lor Keith and Kevin Morren. The fact that they were twins didn't cause anger or fights. Instead, they were great friends and were often found together dunng the year. student£kife

STOl NT LIFE ARKING MULTIPLIED Parking- we all do it at one time or another. Whether it's at 8:30 Monday morning or at 11:30 on a Saturday night, someone's parking and more than likely, someone's getting caught! At 8:30 a.m. availability was the main problem. That last space in the baseball field was a good choice for adventurous students, since parking there required a lengthy hike. There were still a few curbs left or there was always a teacher space available for the student who flunked that teach- er's last exam. Of course, when the teacher ar- rived to find his space stolen, the violator was yanked out of class to move his car to the baseball field. Illegal parking was often the final solution. As senior Brian Ringer said, I park illegally ev- ery day. Parking at school was an unpleasant activity, but students soon remedied this by visiting their favorite park at lunch or after school. A relaxing lunch plan was to pick up food at a drive-thru and eat at the park. Senior Sean Wilson recalls an experience he had: Greg Witherspoon, Dan Canfield and I agreed to meet Jodi Crown, Tara Murphy, and Amy Davidson for lunch. We brought the drinks and they brought chicken from Grandy's. Well, the chicken was horrible! We tried to be polite, but it didn't work. Anyway, they haven't asked us back. And let's not forget the all-American legacy of parking on a Saturday night date. It's been done for centuries, possibly dating back to ancient Rome when couples would wrestle themselves into a back seat of a chariot. But modern-day parking involves wrestling into a Volkswagen and hoping for the best. If one is lucky, he will have the benefit of a prime location. This is usual- ly defined as far enough away from home to avoid being caught, but close enough so you get home on time. Most people will agree, however that getting caught was one of life's most embar- rassing moments. AS A POLICEWOMAN WRITES HIS TICK- ET. senior Jack DeArmon protests the mass tow- ing that took place October 24. John Bamberger can only agree.
