I-low can you have four students ofthe same family at- tend the same school? It is very possible when that family has twins. Such is the case in the Plummer family. Born in Langstuhl, Germany, Rita and Lita are in the ninth grade. Their brother John is in the seventh, and oldest sister Nita is in the ninth. Both twins are active in Plaza's fine band. They both play the clarinet and piano. Band takes a lot of time, chorused the two. Lita is also a member of the FHA. At school they have the same friends and hang around each other. One advantage of being a twin is getting into trouble together. Another is that we gave each other seven things for Christmas. A disadvantage is when others mistake you for your sisterf' To Rita, Lita is short, very bossy, and lazy in her academic studies. To Lita, Rita is naive, rather in- telligent, and a gum-snapper. They usually do not argue, but if they do, it is only on little teeny things. The cause for any disagreement usually results from Lita's mischievous nature. For example, in kindergarten they once switched classes for the whole day. They stressed that they were completely different. I'm taller and weigh more, said Lita, who is a mere ten minutes older. In the future, Rita would like to be a musician while Lita aspires to be a nurse or interior decorator 68 Faces 'K

But, it is still great to be . . . a ninth grader. It feels good, that after two years of waiting, you've finally advanced from being called a something to being called a somebody.', -Charlene Coral It is sorta like being boss of the school, I like it! -Deak Holtz I hate to leave Plaza and the people, 'cause next year, I'll be a punky sophomore. -Rhonda Gardner 9th or 8th graders, does it really matter?
