Skillful Drama Department The M'HS Drama Department showed their skill as they performed such difficult plays as 'Diary of Anne Frank , Arsenic and Old Lace , and the ever popular musical Once Upon a Mattress ’. Technical crews and actors worked many long, hard hours behind the scenes, and under the spotlight to present a perfected show once the curtain rose. The year started off with Once Upon a Mattress. Barb Bicknell starred as Fred' the tom-boyish princess in a musical take-off of the Princess and the Pea. Randy Lake played her prince charming Diary of Anne Frank” proved that the drama department could suc- ceed in performing a play which was sophisticated and heavy in qual- ity. Laura Brown played Anne, the young Jewish girl in hiding during World War Two. Arsenic and Old Lace rounded off the season with Vicky Avery and Anne Oren playing the two spin- sters. In their spare time, they added arsenic to the Elderberry wine and served it to prospective boarders.
