“I thought the play at Christopher Newport provided an experience for people and ex¬ posed them to something unique that they did not learn about in school.” Kris Pelham “At first, it was difficult to accept new mem¬ bers at the Natural Helpers’ retreat in Wil¬ liamsburg. But, when the retreat was over, I felt as if we were a family.” Maria Reduto November

Play-time The Diary of Anne Frank’ earns praise ovember was a good month “to rake up leaves,” “to get a job and earn some money for Christmas- “to go shopping for winter clothes,” “to apply to college and take SAT’s,” “to con¬ tribute to the Thanksgiving Basket drive,” and “to enjoy a holiday with rel¬ atives.” “Applying to college can be very hectic. You have to write to a lot of col¬ leges and you spend a lot of money. It can be very worrisome,” said senior Ann Schwartz. The month of November vanished in a flurry of activity for st udents who looked forward to the holidays and a “real vacation” in December. A TAG cookout before the Lafayette game, re¬ port cards, SAT’s, field trips, and play rehearsals broke the normal routine the first two weeks of the month. The Drama Club’s production of “The Diary of Anne Frank,” Novem¬ ber 13 and 14, drew raves from stu¬ dents who attended and from those who worked on some aspect of the play. Di¬ rected by senior Allen Glover, the play required the talents of many students. “There were a lot of personal problems with the production,” said se¬ nior Dana Clark. “But, it all worked out for the best and I hope that we brought to life “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Over two hundred English stu¬ dents attended a play at Christopher Newport College, November 14, and French, science, and Home Economics students also boarded buses for a field trip in November. “I thought the play we saw was fantastic,” said senior Toni Pardue. “It was a real learning experience. I learned a lot about what goes into the production of a play.” Students in need of Christmas cash found part-time jobs, while others took Mom’s charge cards, or shopped at thrift shops like the continued on page 22 HEY, THIS IS A STEAL!

Play-time continued from page 20 DAV (Disabled American Veterans) for new fall fashions. “I did my Christmas shopping in November to avoid large crowds and hectic sales lines,” said freshman No- reen Krahner. For DAV shoppers, the goal was to be unique, and to enjoy an alterna¬ tive to expensive clothes. “You never look like anyone else,” said junior Susie Renn. “No one else has the same clothes and they really have a lot of class and charm. There is always something different to be found.” The annual Hampton Christmas Parade, although sharply reduced in size because of heavy rain, launched the holiday season. “I got up that morning to go take pictures of the parade,” said senior photographer James Smith. “But, none of the bands or ROTC units marched because it was raining. It was a big dis¬ appointment.” A Natural Helpers Retreat at the George Washington Motor Inn in Wil¬ liamsburg was a mixture of fun and friendship, plus serious discussions and training sessions. “The retreat was different than I thought it would be,” said sophomore Stephanie Raines. “I had a great time and I’d like to go on another one soon,” she added. The annual collection of canned goods for the SCA’s Thanksgiving Bas¬ ket project closed out the month. Clubs, classes, individuals, and organi¬ zations all contributed canned goods or cash to help needy families on the Pen- ninsula. Finally, it was Thanksgiving. The two day holiday from school was a time to enjoy traditional Thanksgiving feasts with friends, family, and assort¬ ed relatives. I went home to Georgia,” said se¬ nior Robb Lanum. ’’Even though I didn’t know much about the area, it was fun being with the family,” L.
