Lynnie Meek, portraying a troubled youth during the second World War, pleads with Father, Bob Morrison, for understanding. In their hiding place, the Frank family and friends pray during the festival of Chanu- kah. Plays Prove To Be A Trial For All Involved The prosecuting attorney, Wayne Weaver, gives it one lost whirl as he tries to convince th e jury that Karen Andre is indeed guilty of murder in the first degree. Anne Frank, Lynnie Meek, gives her mother, Ann Wilson, a look of smug defiance as she lectures her on the impor- tance of being a lady. Involvement was the key to the annual spring play, The Night of January 26. As the evening ' s performance progressed, the tables were turned and the audience became a part of the action, acting as the jury in the trial of Karen Andre, portrayed by Peggy Grift, for murder in the first degree. Both the prosecu- tion and the defense had a night of triumph as the jury judged the defendant to be innocent on one night and guilty on the other. The annual fall play was also a hit as the cast put on a terrific performance of The Diary of Anne Frank. It followed the lives of a Jewish fam ily living in hiding in the Netherlands and their struggle for survival during World War II. Hundreds of hours of behind the scenes ac- tivity were poured into the preparation of both performances. As in every production, mem- bers of the cast and crew encountered prob- lems with lighting, sets, and scripts. Students participating in the fail play adjusted to a new director, Mrs. Eve Meredith. Even with these various problems, the hardworking students managed to overcome these obstacles and made both of these productions a success. 94 Fall Spring Play
