As the children look on, Mrs. Van Daan accuses Mr. Dussel of unfairly dividing the meager stores of potatoes. Drama a success with “Diary” The second season of a new tradition at Di- vine Child was proudly welcomed with the pre- sentation of the fall play. With the success of a thrilling mystery in tow, the cast and crew of the new production were faced with the chal- lenge of a heavier drama: The Diary of Anne Frank. Set amid the destruction of Hitler’s Nazi rule during WWII, a group of eight people lived in cramped hiding for a period of two years because of their Jewish heritage. The trauma and everyday events of such a secret lifestyle were recorded in the diary of the high-spirited thirteen-year-old Anne Frank. Going through the difficult stages of growing up, Anne had to face her first love, conflicting feelings toward her parents, the annoyances of the others she must live with, and the constant terror of her family being found. Discovery after two years in hiding left Anne a mature young woman ready to face “whatever tomor- row may bring”. The hard work of the entire cast and crew, under the direction of Mrs. Pritchard, resulted in a truly remarkable piece of work. Anne, played by Mary Ellen Hogg, and Duane DiFranco as Mr. Frank led the cast of ten peo- ple (and one cat) in a successful, memorable production. The drama was truly an experience for both the actors and the audience. Unsure of each other at first. Anne and Peter get acquainted through Peter’s cat. Moushi. 13
