wr Double The Double The Fun T hey look I nothing I alike. There is no way that those two are twins, or I can ' t tell them apart, no matter how hard I try. Either way, twins are a fairly unique sight in any school. There are sixteen sets of twins roaming the halls. Some are identical, but a majority are fra¬ ternal. Twins in action! Shawn and Dawn Winslow do their part to help decorate the school by painting a mural outside the his¬ tory pod. Both girls were very talented artists. Twins seemed to have a special bond between them. They often shared interests, and other talents. They all say that most of the time, it is fun to have a twin. There is always a per¬ son to talk with or to share clothes with. With all the fun, there are a few problems with being a twin. Jen- Doubletrouble . . . The twins take time out of their schedules to pose for a group picture. There were more than sixteen sets of twins roaming the halls and confusing friends all day long. nifer Harris com¬ plained, I hate it when people call me my sis¬ ter ' s name. When a good friend of mine calls me Allison, it gets on my nerves. Mistak¬ en identities and hav¬ ing people think that you and your twin share the same per¬ sonality was always a pain. Nobody can pull a good prank better than a set of identical twins. All the fun and all the problems — they were all part of being a twin. Twins

Twins fdkeui Twins H ave you ever wondered what it would be like to have a twin brother or sister who didn ' t live with you and who you rarely saw? For juniors Tammy Scott and Karen Davis this unique situation was reality. Neither Tammy ' s twin brother nor Karen ' s twin sister lived at home with them. Tammy ' s brother Ty went to Virginia Military School. This was his sec¬ ond year at the school and he and Tammy ' s second year apart. It felt real strange to be in school and know he was not there, com¬ mented Tammy. After sharing classes with her brother for nine years, it was a real shock for Tammy not to see him anymore. Being best friends with her brother, Tammy found it very difficult to get used to being separated from him. Karen Davis felt very alone this year without her identical twin sister Christen around. With her sister gone, Karen had to get used to not having someone to talk to all the time. It was really hard for her to adjust to being by herself. The two were each other ' s best friends and comment¬ ed Karen, I know her as well as I know my¬ self. Although Christen lived in Florida, she and Karen remained close. 11 didn ' t realize how much he meant to me unti he went away. I took him for granted when he was here and now that he is gone I miss him a lot. I find myself looking forward with great anticipa¬ tion to seeing him on holidays and over the summer break 33 — Tammy Scott It is really hard to get used to her not being here. We were each other ' s best friends, and now she is gone, but we still talk to each other on the phone a lot. When we talk, it ' s almost like we know exactly what the other is thinking and feeling. j Karen Dav is Twins

The Excitement Of Comes Alive E ach fall, one week is set aside in order to get ev¬ eryone pumped up for the fall sports season, and most of all, the big football game against our rivals Gar-Field. Ev¬ eryone knows those five intense days as Spirit Week. School spirit was the main agenda for the week with five spirit days, the spirit links contest be¬ tween the classes, the big pep rally, and, fi¬ nally, the Wood- bridge-Gar-Field foot¬ ball game. Every st udent was able to show off his true colors with the spirit days. These in¬ cluded nerd day, col¬ lege sweat shirt day, tie dye day, costume day, and, of course, green and gold day. The rowdy seniors ac¬ cumulated the most spirit links, but due to a technicality in how they were accumulat¬ ed, the junior class won the contest. Spirit Week came to its cli¬ max at the Wood- bridge-Gar-Field game where Wood- bridge won 34-14 in Gar-Field ' s Barnette Stadium. Getting into it! The seniors let their rowdiness come alive dur¬ ing the pep rally. Pep rallies al¬ ways charged students up for the different sporting events. What a Nerd! Senior Pete Vay shows his school spirit on Nerd Day. With five different spirit days during Spirit Week, stu¬ dents were able to show off their school spirit. Senior Todd Whitley gets all wrapped up in the spirit links contest. The huge amounts of links amassed by all of the classes were displayed during the Spirit Week pep rally. Student Life
