Sheffield Twins Graduated With Honors From 8th Grade In Chicago February 4, 1925 Breckinridge County KyArchives News

Breckinridge News February 4, 1925
Misses Elizabeth and Margaret Sheffiled, twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. 
Sheffield, of Chicago, were among the 250 graduates of Hyde Part High School, 
January 29, in the school auditorium at Chicago.  The twins finised high school 
at the age of 15.  During the Christmas vacation they took the Normal College 
entrance exams.  Two subjects, English and History, instead of seven, were all 
they were required to take because of their high class average.  On February 2 
they enter Chicago Normal College for the two-year course which will give them 
two years credit at the University of Chicago.

The twins are members of the Midwest Athletic club, with Tom Eck, of the 
University of Chicago, as coach.  They have won several medals in athletic 
events - the most recent a gold medal at the Illinois Athletic Club meet in 
which the great Nurmi starred.

Additional Comments:
I have no clue how the Sheffield twins tie into Breckinridge County (or if they 
do), but it was listed in the Breckinridge News newspaper, dated 2/4/1925.
