Howard Twins (Helen Jo Ann)
"Wouldn't Trade For World"
What would you do if you had
a twin brother or sister that felt
and thought the same as you and
had each other's constant com-
panionship7 By jumping into the path of a
speeding Wildcat player wouldn't)
solve the problem. Besides Helen
and Jo Ann Howard don't think I
it a problem at all and wouldn't i
trade places with anyone but
themselves and that is because
they arc twins.
Confusing Dates
The two are together all the
time which becomes confusing on I
date nights. Never has one felt
jealous about going with the same
boy for they both understand
each other. Wanting to be to-

her boyfriends up before but
the big question is "What will
happen to the other one when
one is married7"
Being twins moans going
through the same stages together
and feeling a part of each other
which has increased their friend
ship. They say that they havi
met and made many friends be-
sause they are twins.
Dress Aliko
Jo and Helen dress alike and
when their shoes aren't the same
color everyone notices. They say
they seldom disagree for the ex-
ception of what clothes to wear
and both have different ideas on
that matter but the result must
be the same. Jo is the domestic
type and often makes their
dresses. Helen wants to teach
school and doesn't claim to be
domestic
Their names are often mixed
Up but not in looks Both are
tall and slender although Helen
is a bit taller. Helen has red
hair and wears it long while Jo's

One of the most interesting

such as a luui barct or ash tray
and a dark loom are the necessi-

signs or shadows on the white
paper and when the flashlight is
focused on it the photographic
paper reproduces the design.
