BRUCE ATKIN Bruce Atkin Mamed D-D- ay Chairman Bruce Atkin, Dixie College soph- omore, has been chosen as chairman of the D Day activities for 1962. The event is planned for March 24, a Saturday so that alumni from northern universities can come home and participate in the festivities. Bruce, son of Pres, and Mrs. Rud-ge- r Atkin of St. George East Stake, was born and raised in the St. two-yea- r George area. He fulfilled a LDS Mission to the Northwestern States and spent six months in the service. Only a few months ago he married Janet Stoke from Lincoln, Nebraska. She also attends Dixie. Bruce is majoring in business management at Dixie and plans to graduate from Dixie this spring, after which he and his wife will attend the BYU. Bruce is dedicated to church work and is very active in its affairs. He is also interested in livestock as he was raised on a ranch and his family deals with cattle. A very likeable person, Bruce gets along well with people, and says of them, I enjoy people. Theyre fun and funny. Chosen for the D Day committee by Bruce are Dale Hunt and Lana Kay Frehner, Dance; Ralph Atkin, Parade; Joe Bowler, beard growing contest; Larry Shurtliff, recreation; program on the hill, Doug Hafen, and Publicity, Kay Hanson. ' Anne, a thirteen year old girl, called her diary Kitty and to Kitty she poured out her heart. She was not afraid of telling the truth. She wrote about the changes in her life as she thought about life and as she grew from a little girl to a young woman. She wrote about the changes that the war wrought upon the families. She wrote not under the threat of death but of how she was ready to live. She was a very warm and sensitive young girl. She wrote about her relations with her parents, her and the problems of growing up under such extraordinary conditions. Annes diary ends August 4, 1944 when the Green Police made a raid upon the Secret Annexe. All the occupants were arrested and sent to German concentration camps. The Secret Annexe was plundered by the Gestapo. In a pile of rubbish Annes father found her diary. Of all the occupants of the Secret Annexe, Annes father returned. Taking the role of Anne Frank in the Dixie College production is Joan Esplin, sophomore student. Her parents Mr. and Mrs. Frank are played by Don Blake, Monti-cellUtah, and Susan Neely, Salt Lake City, both Freshmen. Playing Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan are Doug Cox of St. George and Pat Robinson of Salt Lake City. Peter, their son, is played by Brooks Pace, a freshman from St. George. Cecil Pendleton, St. George, sophomore will play Mr. Dussel and Sue Ann Lytle, St. George, will play Margot Frank the eldest daughter. Playing Mr. Kraler is Ed Reber and Miep is played by Jerri McGregor of St. production George. The arena-typ- e will be directed by Marion J. Bentley. The play will be presented in February in the little theater of the Fine Arts Center. It should be a worthwhile production. o, The axe, symbolic of athletic supremacy between Dixie and CSU, is currently residing in the CSU trophy case, which is an unusual phenomenon, to say the least. The last few years has seen the a.e making infrequent appearances at Icicle University. Last year we shot down the fowls in five of the six axe contests. That one being a basketball defeat caused Dixies trophy case to gather a thin film of red dust before the axe was back in its favored place. In the school year CSU had possession of our prized axe for a period of 21 hours. No wonder the cry at Icicle University What in the hell is the was, axe? Now that we have given CSU a twro weeks glimpse of just what the axe is, we as Dixieites feel that our generosity shoald not be overdone. So tomorrow night we shall relieve our friends from the northland of their new found toy, until sometime in the far distant future, lest they acquire a parental affection for our axe. 1959-196- ESPLIN JOAN Coed of the Month Is Chosen 0 Dixies coed for the month of January, Joan Esplin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T.
