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,”

if the twins will equal their skills
in ping pong they may get the

opportunity to be the first twins
to play in the Chinese
tournament?)
Mark is an English major and
says he would like to become a
teacher. Melvin is a history
major, but he says he definitely
does not want to teach. When
they graduate they will go their
separate ways and this will be a
new experience in life for them,
they agree.
Faculty Wives Hold
Country Fair Exhibit
The air was full of the smell of
home-baked bread and the walls
were lined with sewing and art
work when the new Education
Center building was converted
into a fairground Saturday. The
event was a Country Fair
presented by the Faculty Wives
Club.
Kids squealed with delight as
clowns handed out free balloons
and student Manuel O’Sorio
performed magic tricks. The
youngsters ran excitedly from
one booth to the next, and played
bingo with a determination to
win, while their parents browsed
through the displays of paintings,
photographs, samplers, doll
clothes, and tissue-paper flowers.
The booths included “Art Shop
and Hang It All,” “Candy Cor
ner,” “Secondhand Treasurers,”
“Flower Boutique,” and
