Diary of Anne Frank': an Artistic Success The Diary of Anne Frank, as presented by the active group of drama students this year at North Branch, has been described as being the most sophisticated and dis- playing the most talent of any play ever before prod- uced at our school. The play which was a story of a group of Jews who went into hiding from the Germans in World War II was seen by only about 100 at each of its four performances. The cast included: Randy Allen (Mr. Frank): Margaret Naracon (Miep): April Sieh (Mrs. Van Dann): John Rob- bins (Mr. Van Dann): Ron Chase (Peter Van Dann): Brenda McDowell (Mrs. Frank): Evelyn Lockery (Margot Frank): Vivian McConnell (Anna Frank): Chris Clark (Mr. Kraler): Mark Adams (Mr. Drussel). Don Kernedy (Light- ing Technician and Stage Hand): Deb Marlinga (Stage Manager); Robin LaFond and Matt Perry (Sound Effects): Vicci Lindsey (House Manager): Deb Hilts (Cos- tumes): Judy Swoish (Make-up). The Diary of Anne Frank was directed by Mr. Lee Schleicher. 27
