The Hypertwins have a long tradition with Carolina Friends School (CFS). Woozle and Harena both went there for high school (1979-1982 and 1974-1978 respectively), as did Harena's older sister Kathy and younger sister Jenny and Woozle's sister Jessica and (briefly) cousin Neilly. Tigger also went there for a couple of years in the late 1970s.
Zander went there from 2004-2006. He also re-applied for 2008-9 after spending an enjoyable year at CPSC, but Duke School accepted him first (it was after the deadlines, so we had to take what was available).

Recollections
CFS in 1979-1982 felt almost magical, at least compared with the rigid structure and competitiveness at DA. I met people there who totally changed my life. (Athough some bad things happened, too, and they didn't handle Harena's crisis very well when she was there, but they at least erred on the side of allowing the individual to make their own choices rather than being heavy-handed and authoritarian.) It would also seem to have been very good for for Mel (Harena's eldest), who graduated from the CFS upper school in 2002(?), and Zander (age 7 when he first went there in 2004), who was not getting along very well at Hope Valley (Durham Public Schools).
Notes
Advertising
Apparently CFS is now actively promoting and actively advertising itself, which was something they never did when we were there in the 1970s and 1980s:
You've seen our ads in various print publications, helped us to distribute flyers throughout the community, and heard our spots on WUNC FM. Now we're reaching out in some new directions.
To hear a lively conversation about the CFS dance program, tune in to WCHL (1390 AM) this Sunday, 12:30 - 1:00, when Jon Wilner interviews Annie Dwyer, Mike Hanas, and Lydia Kramer on his arts program. Those who are unable to hear the program on Sunday can access a podcast on the WCHL website.
Mike will be interviewed on Ron Stutts' morning program later this month, and you can hear radio spots about CFS broadcast by Mike on WCHL from now through December 3.
Also, jazz lovers may hear underwriting spots on WNCU (90.7 FM).
We're on the air, spreading the good word about CFS. As always, thanks for your support.

Our feeling is that the place has gotten too big already, and does not need to be expanding any further. –Woozle 09:34, 4 November 2006 (EST)
