Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a twin? To have someone look just like you? Well, being a most curious person, I de-cided to find out!
Winter Park High School has four sets of twins. I found it very interesting finding out from them just what their reactions were to being a twin. Here's what I learned.

     I first interviewed the Cummings twins, who are sophomores. Sharon and Sheila were born on March 17, 1942. Sharon is fifteen minutes older. I found out that they don't make the same grades. Wondering how to tell them apart, they told me that Sheila has longer hair, weighs more, and is a little taller. But seeing them together, I still couldn't tell them apart! They said that they feel closer than most brothers and sisters, as they enjoy about the same things. The only jokes they ever pull on anyone is exchanging names and fooling people on the phone. Their futures are different, as Sharon hopes to be a secretary, and Sheila is planning to be a teacher.
     Next came the Harmeling twins. Those boys really amazed me at their reactions of being twins. Dan and Jim were born November 6, 1941. Dan being the older by seven minutes. I was also told that Jim makes the best grades. They both enjoy sports and make an attempt at a little bit of everything. As for the opposite sex, they both play the field! I asked them how people told them apart--Jim said, "Dan is bigger and louder!" They said they both try to avoid dressing alike. When I asked them if they felt closer than most brothers and sisters, they said only as far as common interests go. I got a kick when I found out they switched bank instruments in Mr. Williams' band at Glenridge. It must have been a riot!! It was very interesting to me to find out they had, of all things, twin counsins! As for their future, they plan to attend different colleges.
     Bonnie and Bunnie Pechin were next on the list. They were born April 2, 1943. Bonnie is the oldest by six minutes. Bunnie takes the lead in grades. They both enjoy doing the same things and are almost always together. Bunnie's hair is longer at the present time, so this is one way of telling them apart.
