They aren’t identical but fraternal. Though they do the same activities such as roller hockey, skating, horse back riding, and playing tennis with their dad, they aren’t the same per se. Shanelle is the type of person that is independent and wouldn’t like to be known as the “Enlow twin” or “the blonde twin." She's also loud and proud of it. She knows when to have fun but be serious when it comes to school. Shanelle has the dirty blond wavy haired topped off with blues. Sheree on the other hand is the type of person that is “Evil Twin” Sheree E. laid-back. She does anything she wants and when it comes to the Shanelle E.(Above) point of being called twins she doesn’t care. She is also the artis- Shanelle E and Sheree E. posing (below) tic twin compared to Shanelle. I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing her amazing art and I can’t believe that she can draw so well! As for Sheree, she has blond straight hair, and brown eyes that are to die for. They’re different but they’re also similar. Both girls are very smart with GPA’s of 3.9 or over. They constantly talk and have the same friends. They have the same style but Shanelle refuses to share clothes. Their older brother travels around the world playing roller hockey. He was a part of the 2010 Men’s Rink Hockey World Team. Hoping to step into their brothers footsteps they plan to play roller hockey for a long time. No doubt these girls have the sports bug that most of their family has. Sheree and Shanelle are a force to be reckoned with. Watch out people, you might be looking at future women’s roller derby players. Sleep, the Greatest Escape for Teenagers. By: Taylor Cook High school is full of teens who all cannot agree and can barely stay awake all night. Maybe I can give you a with each other on some things. But, I know one thing we all few ideas to help pull an all nighter. Of course only when can agree on, and that is that we all love our sleep! you’re not needing the sleep though. Maybe have a friend over. I’m sure the first thing you think of when you get You guys can keep each other awake and occupied. Try watch- home is sleep. School is stressful and tiring. It’s just the per- ing some movies, but not the ones that bore you and put you to fect combination to want to crawl under the covers and sleep. Listen to some of your favorite music. Get on Facebook sleep. Well, I know a solution for you if you’re lacking if you have one. If not, then get on a website you enjoy. Now, sleep. Try going to bed earlier. Our body needs at least ten all I can say to you is good luck! hours of sleep each day. Not seven or eight hours. Immedi- ately erase that thought from your mind. The more sleep you get, the more you’ll be able to concentrate in school without being tempted to fall asleep. Something I find shocking is that it’s a proven fact that middle school kids need more sleep then high school kids. I know, you’re probably thinking “How is that possi- ble? They do not do nearly as much work as we do.” I think the same thing. But maybe it’s because they are younger. I guess as you get older you can live without as much sleep, even though it’s dreadful. Hm. Enough of sleep talk. How about them all nighters eh? These days most high school kids can’t seem to pull an all nighter. It’s kind of sad, because we are so young, Drey P. sleeping in class with his lazy bracelet. The History of the Butterfinger By Sidonie Clark In 1923 the Curtiss Candy Company in Chicago invented the Butterfinger candy Today, many Butterfinger fans have made bar.

There is the classic Butterfinger (in several sizes), Butterfinger Crisp; which is like a wafer (mini and king sized), Butter- finger BBs (small round pieces of Butter- finger), and the Butterfinger ice cream bar. Also, during the holidays there are jingle bell shaped ones as well as egg shaped ones. Features Page 2 Why is there a law for that? By: Sharon Gingrich Isn’t it common sense that a person shouldn’t tie their pet alligator to a fire hydrant? It makes one wonder how many people actually did some- thing so stupid that a law had to be created. Now, every state has some pretty outlandish laws (not just Alabama). Most of them have never even been heard of so a chart has been compiled of laws from a few states that have graced the ranks of the most comical laws.
