Famil Ti s? Most people have some interesting feature about them that separates them from someone else. It could also tie or link them to another person. It could be in the form of common names, common interests, or common faces. All members of a team have at least the shared interest of playing the same sport. The five Schroeders, though, are not only related, they also all participate in the same sport - track. Not all people who share a common name are related, though. There are nine Johnsons at OHS and none of them are related as brother and sister. The same applies to the four Andersons and the four Nelsons. Another interesting group of people is twins. There are five sets of twins in OHS this year. Two sets are freshmen, one set of juniors, and two sets of seniors. All but one pair are boy and girl. There is also a complete family to be found at OHS - the Bielemas. Don and Bev Bielema are both teachers while their son Thad is a senior. There are three other parent-child relationships but none with both parents teaching at the same school in which their child is enrolled. Demetrius John Frana has a name all to himself. When someone calls his name. he knows they are talking to him and not the student sitting next to him. 38 Family Ties Andy, Jill. Jerome, Dawn, and Leah not only five related Schroeders are all interested in running. Jill. and Leah are sisterst brothers Andy r Jerome are their cousins. All five ticipate in track. and the Schroz brothers are also a part of the c country team.
