On November 12, 13, and 14, the Benildc-St. Margaret’s Drama Department presented the play “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown’’ in the St. Margaret’s school auditorium. Aided by Miss JoAnn Holonbeck, the play proved to be delightful and an enjoyable experience for all who attended. Cast in the leading role of Charlie. Brown was freshman Paul Shall-better from Benildc. Filling out the remaining roles were Terry Duffy as Lucy; Peter Regan as Linus; Ann Jennings as Patty; Joe Burns as Snoopy; Mark Cosentino as Schroedcr; Louise Covert as the Little Red Haired Girl; Linda King as Frieda; Jan Stitt as Pigpen; Steve Dolan as the Red Baron; and Diane Lundeen as Sally. Musical accompanicmcnt was directed by Mr. Robert Strusinski, with Sr. Renee Brannigan in charge of technical direction. The final performance on Sunday was highlighted by the attcndcncc of the person whom Charles Schultz modeled the character of Charlie Brown after. He attended the cast party that same evening and was so impressed with the presentation that he asked the cast to give two additional benefit performances on December 4 and 5. The request was gladly received and granted by the members of the cast. The success of the play was a well deserved reward for the people involved in its production, who had spent many weeks in preparation for opening night. The success proved a fine indication, as to the ability of Benilde and St. Margaret’s to work together in producing a first-rate presentation. 26
