Miracle Worked With Miracle Worker The lights came on . . . We slowly made the transition from being in Tus- cumbia, Alabama, in the late 1800 ' s, to being in Elmhurst ' s auditorium, in November, 1978. Blinking against the light, we clapped and whistled as the cast of The Miracle Wor certook their bows. The Miracle Worker was put on as the fall play. It was the story of how a deaf, mute, and blind girl, Helen Keller, was taught to relate to the outside world. Her teacher was Annie Sullivan, who was once blind herself. Although the play was a last-minute choice due to the cancellation of Cods- pell, the cast pulled things together for a very successful play. They worked a few miracles themselves! CONFLICTS WITH ANNIE have Helen running lo her family for sympathy. A BIG BREAKTHROUGH comes when Helen understands that the spelling in her hand stands for a specific object. Annie spells W-A-T-E-R as Helen uses the pump. SPELLING INTO HER hands becomes a game for Helen, since she doesn ' t understand what it means.

DRESSES WERE VERY popular this year as dressing up became widely accepted. Juniors Anne Springer and Tammi Gallops show two of the many different looks. HEELS WERE HIGHER and thinner this year. Freshman Lisa Renkenberger displays hers (and her legs!) during a break at the Snow Ball. Jeen at the Scene Uh, Dad . . . can I borrow your new blue tie? A couple of years ago, you might have pictured a nice yo ing man getting ready for his first date. That ' s not the case today. Now you might have to look beyond the Levi straights, sweaters, and down coats, to the ears (double-pierced — female, pierced — probably female, non-pierced — probably male, single pierced ear — either or?) and the hair length to discover just who wanted to add to the increasing number of ties worn at Elmhurst. Long hair almost always pointed to a girl as short, layered hair became the norm for the guys. Of course, the decision wasn ' t always difficult, due to the popularity of dressing up among the girls. Dresses (worn with hose or socks), pleated trou- sers, blazers, and tunics kept the Who ' s Who game to a minimum. Further clues for the undecided would be jeans, velour shirts, T-shirts, flannel shirts, jerseys, Colorado boots, and running shoes. Three checks in this category usually meant an EHS girl fol- lowing not too far behind! A . HEAVY SWEATERS W RE not only practical but stylish too. Senior Diane Miller stops to check her manual. THREE-PIECE SUITS not only rated high with the EHS guys, they also received stars from the girls. Senior Derrick Hall dons his for the Snow Ball. Student Life — 2t
