It (academ- ics alone) doesn’t make us who we are,” says Geiser. Fine and Blidner have many common activities. They are edi- tors at the school newspaper, and participate in Students Against Drunk Driving, the foreign lan- guage club, key club, and the learn-and-serve group, where they teach at the elementary school.
