APRIL 30, 1971 Mark and Melvin Perry Cause Doubletakes By PERRY JOHNSON If you see one person in two places at the same time on the West Georgia Campus, don’t think the hot spring sun is affecting your mind. It will probably be the Perry twins, Mark and Melvin. If you can t distinguish between the two, don’t be alarmed because both will answer to either Mark or Melvin. Mark and Melvin transferred to West Georgia from Brew ton Parker near Savannah. Out of 20 years of their life they have been separated only twice, once when Mark transferred to West Georgia and Melvin remained at Brewton Parker for a quarter, and when Melvin transferred to the University of Georgia for a quarter. The twins are from Reidsville where their father is a corrections officer at the Reidsville State Prison Farm. CLASS TOGETHER English History 281 this quarter is Mark’s and Melvin’s first class together at West Georgia. Usually they do not take the same classes. While in grammar school, however, the twins were usually in the same rooms and once they won a piano duo contest and went on to compete in the district contest. The twins were born on November 22, which is “Link Day.” Both are the same height, but their weights fluctuate. They like to play ping pong and they agree that when one beats the other it makes him feel bad because “we’re supposed to be equal and we feel that one should do as well as the other,” (Maybe some time in the future if the twins will equal their skills in ping pong they may get the He can still have his prescriptions compounded at Robinson Drugs.
