HS masquerade adds to Halloween festivities Adding to the many activities common during the early months of the school year, the National Honor Society, in an attempt to raise funds, sponsored a masquerade ball held in the gym on October 22. So many students attended this dance that many complained of the crowded dance floor. lt was so jam-packed that you could barely move on the floorf' said junior Sherri Mercier of the more than 450 students attending the dance. 4'Everyone at the dance showed a lot of creativity in their costumes. You could tell that a lot of thought and work went into most costumes, said senior Richard Kravitz. The dance, with music provided by a disc jockey, was a financial success. The NHS earned more than 5350. This money was used to sponsor other NHS activities which included Cperation Santa Claus which gave gifts to Grange foster children and the Special Clympics.

Students To remind people of the atrocities committed against his fellow man during World War II in Nazi concentration camps and in hopes that these atrocities would never again be repeated, The Diary of Anne Frankn was the drama department's fall presentation. Dedicated to the memory of late French teacher Louise Levy, the cast consisted of ten students and one cat. It was directed by drama teacher Susan Stauter who said, I dedicated 'The Diary of Anne Frank' to Louise Levy because my first play that I directed here was 'Diary' and I promised her I would do it again. Louise saw every show and was very important to the theater. I felt obligated to dedicate it to her because we were so close, . Senior Debbie Green played the title role of Anne Frank, a Dutch-Jewish teenager forced to hide with her family from the Nazis. I-Ier family, father Ctto, mother Edith and sister Margot were played by sophomore james Bludworth, senior Eliza- beth Prescott and junior Dana Gribble respectively. The Frank family was joined in hiding by the Van Daan family. Mr. Van Daan was played by senior Matt Ells- worth, his wife, Petronella, was played by senior Valerie Eaton and their son Peter was played by freshman Richard Mosier. Snooky, a cat belonging to Nancy Stone, a mem- ber of the prop crew, and Steve Camera portraying the dentist jan Duessel completed the number of Jews in hiding. Senior Lisa Schmidt and junior Rod Watkins played the two gentiles who kept the family in hiding. Many alumni returned to help Stauter produce this play. 1982 graduate Jodi Spiker was associate director, 1980 graduate Mark Stephenson designed the lighting, 1981 graduate 'loan Scheide assisted Stephenson as did 1979 graduate Mitch Orellana. CSUF drama instructor Todd Mufatti designed and dressed the set. It was nice having Mitch, John, Mark and Jodi back to help with the produc- tion. Todd Mufatti was also a great help to me. I can't thank him enough. Ilm lucky to have had them all, said Stauter. 1. The Frank family prays that their hiding place will not be discov- ered by the Nazis.
