The secretary of the BSC is Mary Anne Spier, who is Kristy's best friend. You might
think she would be as loud and outgoing as Kristy is, but she's not. She's extremely shy and sensitive. They do look alike, though: Mary Anne has brown hair (although she recently got it cut), and brown eyes and is also short for her age.
As secretary, Mary Anne takes care of that record book I told you about. Her neat, even handwriting fills every page, and she does a perfect job of keeping track of all our appointments. I think she has the hardest job in the BSC, but she seems to like it.
Mary Anne's mom died a long, long time ago, and Mr. Spier was the one who brought up Mary Anne (their only child). I guess he was worried about being a single parent, so he kind of overdid it. He was very, very strict about what Mary Anne could wear, and how she could fix her hair and that kind of stuff. But he's loosened up now, and Mary Anne has become a trendier dresser. (She'll never compete with Claudia, though!)
Mary Anne has a kitten named Tigger, and a cute boyfriend named Logan Bruno. And not too long ago she also acquired a stepsister! Not just a stepsister, but a best friend and a co-member of the BSC named Dawn Schafer. Here's how it happened: Dawn grew up in California, but her mother had grown up in Stoneybrook. And when Dawn's parents got
a divorce, her mom decided to move back to Stoneybrook, bringing Dawn and Dawn's younger brother, Jeff, with her.
