at home, but when the end of August comes, I am usual- ly ready to return to the world of students and grammar, said Mrs. Holt. The school year had begun and there were no more weekends at the lake. Instead, in its place, were football games, dances, and of course homework. But once again stu- dents found themselves preparing for homecoming. While walking down the halls you could sense the feeling of pride and an- ticipation of the coming year at New Ha- ven High School. This was expressed by Dana Sinclair when she said, Last sum- mer was one of the best. I had fun, but this year is also fun. It is gonna be one of the best!!! Pride is flying high at N.H.H.S.

NHHS presents: Anne Frank. On November 16, 1983, the NHHS Drama Club presented The Diary of Anne Frank, a play based on fact, to the New Haven Junior High for a charge of 50$. As part of the NHJH curriculum, students were required to read The Diary of Anne Frank. Therefore, the play served as two purposes learning and pleasure. The students seemed to be thorough- ly enhanced in the play and following the final scene of the play the students joined in a nice round of applause. When asked about performing the dress rehearsal for the NHJH, junior Leslie Wood (Meip) commented, I thought it was a good chance to per- form in front of an audience before opening night. Senior Joel Reed (Mr. Frank) com- mented, I realize that the show is real- ly hard and it takes total concentration, f m glad we were able to perform today and it will really help us tomorrow. The show will be really great tomorrow! November 17, opening night. No more room for mistakes! Excitement filled the auditeria as an- ticipation arose. Behine the scenes, members of the cast were calmly rehearsing their lines, while others were quietly concentrating on the up coming event. Following junior Brian Harper ' s (Mr. Kraler) first scene he reflected, I feel better now that I ' ve finished one scene. There were no mistakes— thank God! Out front the deeply absorbed audi- ence was filled with humor as sopho- more Diana Henry (Anne) tried dili- gently to explain to her father that she was a good person and that there really was a good side to her. Between scenes the cast scattered frantically trying to get things ready and to their places before the lights would once again return. Following the play a member of the audience, Mr. Wright, Latin teacher noted, All of the hard work showed. I also am very impressed by the props. He continued, It ' s amazing to know what the human spirit can endure if it has to. After the final scene of opening night, the cast gathered together for re- freshments as each person told of his or her small mix-ups and greatest fears while on stage. December 18, the second perfor- mance of The Diary of Anne Frank. Back stage was filled with excite- ment and anxiousness as each member of the cast prepared himself for the sec- ond presentation. As the play began, the audience seemed captivated. While continuing humor was added, the audience responded openly. Again the audience seemed to thor- oughly enjoy the play. Following the play cast members once again removed their stage make- up and changed their clothing while cheerfully talking about the how the play went. Out of the approximate 850 persons who attended the play, Saturday even- SOPHOMORE, DIANA HENRY, writes in her diary as she portrays Anne Frank in The Diary of Anne Frank. 22— Plays
