Cast Picked To Give
Story of ‘Anne Frank’
The life of a young girl in an
attic in Amsterdam will come alive

the “1963 Football Queen.”
Normally the football co-cap

Enrolment Hits
All-Time High
An all-time high in enrollment
for the fall semester, 1285 stu
dents, has been achieved by Mars
Hill College in its first year as
a liberal arts senior college.
According to statistics released
this week by the registrar’s of
fice, there are 706 men and 679
women, as compared to last year’s
first-semester total of 1141.
A breakdown shows there are
167 seniors, 255 juniors, 369
sophomores and 499 freshmen.
Five students are unclassified.
The honor of being the first
student to complete his registra
tion and, therefore, enroll as a
senior went to David E. Shaw of
Pfafftown near Winston. He is
majoring in business administra
tion.
Two Coeds Fill
Home Ec Posts
Two seniors majoring in home
economics, Catherine Powell of
Mt. Holly and Lynette Robinson
pf Pennington Gap, Va., have been
elected to positions of leadership
by the Mars Hill Chapter of the
American Home Economics Asso
ciation.
Miss Powell was tabbed to rep
resent the chapter on the plan
ning committee for the state col
lege club workshop to be held
next spring. She is in Greensboro
today to discuss the workshop.
Miss Robinson was named treas
urer of the chapter to replace
Virginia Freeman, who was re
cently married to Don Radford.
Playing the lead role of Anne
is newcomer Kathy Young sup
ported by Arlis Suttles and Crae
Collins as Mr. and Mrs. Frank,
Anne’s parents. Mary Horton
plays the part of Miep, who help
ed hide the Frank family in the
attic. Mimi Jones and Reid Potter
play the parts of Mr. and Mrs.
Vann Dann, who were responsible
for helping Mr. Frank find a job
and place to live when he got to
Holland.
Others in the cast include Mike
Yelton as Peter; Rosemary McCall
as Margot; Henry Walden, Mr.
Kraler; and Mayon Weeks who
plays the part of Mr. Dussell, the
dentist.
Written by Anne Frank, the
story covers three years during
World War II and immediately
afterwards. Anne, a 13-year-old
Jewish girl was forced into hiding
with her family and four other
people over a factory in Amster
dam. In two acts, three years are
lived. The play is of the lives of
these eight people and the world
that changes them. It is a mar
velous story, seen through the
eyes of a young girl growing up
during the time when age was
meaningless. It is written with
love, courage and a sense of hu
mor rare in books of this type.
Anne Frank died with her
mother, sister, and boy friend
in a concentration camp some
where in Europe. The only sur
vivor of her family was her fath
er Otto Frank, who had Anne’s
diary published. It has turned
into one of the most loved stories
ever written. The Diary of a
Young Girl has been translated
from Dutch into all the major
languages of the world and has
been made into a movie.
Anne Frank has become the
symbol of senseless persecution
and hatred throughout the world.
Foundations have been set up in
her name all over Holland, and
the refuge where she stayed has
been made into one of the chief
tourist attractions in Holland.
