13 sets of multiples to graduate together

SEWELL, N.J., June 13 (UPI) -- Officials at a New Jersey high school said 12 sets of twins and one set of triplets are set to graduate from the school Wednesday.

Administrators at Washington Township High School in Sewell said the 27 students will be among the 666 to receive their diplomas Wednesday, the Gloucester County Times, Woodbury, N.J., reported Wednesday.

Triplets Dave, Sarah and Brian Carlin said not being identical kept them from being able to play any pranks on their teachers, but attending school with their siblings did have advantages.

"The best thing about being a triplet is you make a lot of friends," Dave Carlin said. "With three different kids in three different cliques in the high school, you make a lot of friends. We're friends with everyone."

The triplets said they are planning to attend Gloucester County College in the fall.

Identical twins Carly and Kaitlyn Gallagher said they will be separated in the fall when Carly attends Misiercordia University in Dallas, Pa., and Kaitlyn goes to study at Loyola University in Maryland.

"It will definitely be weird at first because she's always been there, but with Skype, Twitter and Facebook, we can keep in touch pretty easily," Kaitlyn said.
