Yourselves . F..
BY Philip H. Love.

II you're accustomed to thinking
Of twins as look-alikes, as am, you
ought to see Anne and Helen Whis-
sen of Eastern High School. You'd
almost certainly take Anne for a
13-year-old and Helen for her older
sister.
AS matter of fact, both girls
were born within five minutes of
each other. on October S, 1929
which makes them exactly 16 years,
5 months and 10 days old.
Anne is 4 feet inches tall and
has green eyes and blond hair.
Helen is 10 inches taller-5 feet 7
and has blue eyes and reddish
brown hair. The only similarity be-
tween them is that both are pretty
each in her own way, of course.
If you go for the "cute" type, you'll
like Anne. II, on the other hand,
you prefer the more statuesque kind
Of girl-and, of course, it all depends
on how tall you are-you1l think
Helen tops. AS for Newell, I like
'em both.
The Whissen twins came to Wash
ington from Philadelphia two years
ago. In Philly they attended Hard
ing Junior High School, where Helen
was editor of the student newspaper,
the Star. Altogether they've at
tended seven schools so far-which,
they say, is all to the good, because
they 'like people" They both grad
uated from Eliot Junior High
School.
Helen's favorite sports are bowling
and swimming. Anne likes bowling
too, but she has never learned to
swim. Shed rather sit home and
listen to her collection Of Perry
Como recordings.
In school Anne's favorite subject
is history, but Helen's is-you'd
never guess-lunch. But in the
mornings Helen works in the school,
bookroom, while Anne prefers tc
spend her spare time talking with
friends.
Anne's ambition is to attend Johns
Hopkins University and then to be-
come an airline stewardess. Helen
on the other hand, is undecided as
to both college and career.
