Riverdale's Unique Twins Celebrate Quite Twelth Anniversary By HELEN NORTON MISS HAZEL LEAVITT loves her job of indoor teaching, to youngsters who are unable to attend regular classes. Here she is shown helping Roselyn Harrop, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Royal Harrop, who has been confined to her home with a broken leg, result of a sleighing accident some time ago. By KYLE HARROP A faithfully committed service, of which we hear little of is, the work of the Home Visiting Teacher. Her job is to help the ill or child who cannot attend school, either permanently or temporarily, keep up with the schooling of thejr age group. SUCH A PERSON is Miss Hazel Leavitt who has spent nearly 35 years of her life in the teaching profession. The eight years that she has been a home visiting teacher for Weber County she considers to have been the years of the greatest happiness and satisfaction to her, for in this capacity she has been able to give individualized instruction to pupils who would otherwire have had no irportunity to L u i. Hazel Leavitt was bern in Emporia, Kansas, the third child in the family of five children of Herbert IL and Nora May Huntington Leavitt. Her father was a carpenter. When she was about 10 years old, the family moved to a little town near Cortez, Colo., where she attended the public schools, graduating from the Cortez High School. IT WAS WHILE attending high school that her desire to become a teacher took definate shape. Much credit in her decision was due to the principal of the school who d d much to encourage thz earnest young girl who vus such a fine student, to consider teaching for a proft ssion. Consequently, Hazel enrolled 'at the Wester States College at Gunnison, Colorado. She graduated with a AB Degree and a Life Teachin ing Certificate having majored elementary and secondary educa- tion. BEFORE RECEIVING her cer tificate, however, Miss Leavitt taught for a year in Delores, Colo., in a one room school which included casses from the first year to high school. After receiving her degree, she accepted a position in Delta Coun ty, Colorado where she taught for 13 years. For eight years she was a teaching principal and for six years, she served as superintendent of the county schools. It was an elective position, however, and upon losing the election, she found it necessary to make other plans for her future. Her parents had died leaving her sister Stella and herself to live by themselves. IN 1945, desiring to have a share in the war effort, the sisters moved to South Ogden and purchased a home at St., where they are still living. Hazel went to work in the payroll division at Hill Air Force Base where she stayed until 758-37t- 1951. In the meantime, Hazel Leavitt found herself yearning more and more for association with children in a classroom and so she quit her job and went to see Parley Bates who was then superintendent of the Weber County Schools. PLANS WERE Just then being formulated to begin the home teaching service in the county and since Miss Leavitt had specialized In Rural School Supervision In college, 6he got the job. There was one hitch to it, how- CONTINUED PAGE 4 Riverdale's unique set of "twin" girls celebrated their 12th birthday together Friday, Feb. 20, with a swimming party at Weber Gym. an IVndcvson and They ar: Joyce Ritter, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Edis Henderson and Mr. and Mrs. Max Ritter, respectively. THEY WERE both born in Ogden on Feb. 20, 1947. At the age of four Jean moved with her family into a home they were building just two houses south of the Ritters. As the two families become acquainted they began to notice how similar the two little jirls were in features and coloring. At the age of about six they were so alike that often their own mothers mistook one for the other. However, along about that time Tcyce. began to grow taller than Jean. '1 HEY ARE still remarkably dike considering the fact that as .ar back as each family has traced their genealogy there are no connecting blood lines. However, both sets of parents resemble each other in coloring and frame. Added to that, each family had a son fer the oldest child, a daughler, then the twin and finally a son as the youngest. Since then, however, the Hendersons have another daughter and a son. Five years ago this unusual created quite a stir twinship when the story was printed in the Deseret News and in the Family Weekly. Dr. Arley Flinders, who was pictured in the latter publication, received a book from a doctor in Germany explaining his research on twins who arc not actually twins. THE SCHOOL teacher received a letter from a fellow in the French Foreign Legion who wished to correspond with her. Tourists from New Jersey recognized the girls and were delighted to be able to ake a picture of their young son standing with the celebrated pair. A lawyer from the east notified hem he had a case set up for them ready to sue the hospital on the .uppositicn that they had given the separate babies to some one else as twins and then broke up a set of real twin to give to the Ritter and Henderson families. The reporter, Helen Norton, received a telephone call from the You Asked For It" program who wished to arrange an appearance on their show.
