Students stayed close to their radios on the night of October 11, because the 1985 homecoming queen was to be announced. The song, Don't Try to Live Your Life in One Day came on, and the Sigma Alpha Tau house began to go wild with screams of excitement. WOBN was playing the song of their candidate, Shonda Keckley. The house was filled with excitement as everyone tried to rush up at the same time to congratulate Shonda, who had her face in her hands, Owl Rosemary Lutz said. Everyone was so excited, it was hard to believe we got it, she said. The 1985 maid-of-honor was Epsilon Kappa Tau's Alecia jones.

'l'IIEA'l'llE EXPLUIIEC WIIRLII WAR Il STU DEN TS LEARN AN ll ARE ll0N0llEIl Sometimes you'd think it might be nice to close yourself off from society. Perhaps have just a few friends or family members living with you, and not have to worry about dealing with other people. In a way, the Department of Theatre explored this idea in its fall term production of The Diary of Anne Frank. , The setting was that of isolation, but the inhabitants were not isolated by their own choice. The Frank and VanDaan families went into hiding to flee Nazi persecution. Tim Gregory, who played Otto Frank, described how he envisioned the isolation: Imagine having to isolate two families together in a very small space and having to live daily with the horrifying thought of being imprisoned or killed. The thought is taxing both mentally and physically. If helped me realize, more perfomzlly, the plight of the j6Zl'.f.l' -- Dizzfid Cizldufell Other cast members included Jodie Silk as the leading role, Anne Frank, David Caldwell, Dia I-Iuekler, Charlotte Dougherty, Marc Foster, Liana Peters, Roy Woods, Michael Blakenship, and jo Beth Phalen. Senior David Caldwell found playing the part of a man in hiding quite revealing. The actor com- mented, Through research and talking to those who lived during the war, it helped me realize, more personally, the plight of the jews in Europe during World War II. The Diary of Anne Frank was well-received by audiences, even though it did have a sobering theme. The actors' performances were also well-received as both Silk and Gregory received nomina- tions for the Irene Ryan Award for Ac- ting. Nominations were made by the American College Theatre Festival after viewing the show. - Vicki Mabry Z4 Diary of Anne Frank The Franks and VanDanns celebrate the news of the In- vasion of Normandy, Mr. VanDann CDavid Caldwell! is caught stealing from l the food Supp y. cd Lu E I- -1 Q
