Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Each student stands next to his or her twin, many of them wearing identical clothing such as shirts, dresses, jackets, and sweaters. They stand in a pattern to form SF with their bodies. Photograph appears with the headline, "Twenty-two Pairs of Twins in One School!" Los Angeles Times, 10 Dec 1935: 10. Text from newspaper caption: No wonder the teachers see double at San Fernando High School. The school has twenty-two pairs of twins, believed to be a Southern California record. Here are the doubles lined up to make the school's initials-"S.F." With so many walking counterparts about, students and teachers both suffer from confusion. Nina W. Ferguson, teacher, has voluntarily assumed control of the unusual group. Recent enrollments gave the new high total. Text from negative sleeve: 4779 - Twins at San Fernando High school 4-7-36 [stamped:] Apr 14 1936
