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.

Ways to Paydays With more and more of us working every year, the I had to work last night was rapidly replacing the old my dog ate it excuse for unfinished homework. In most cases (for once?) we were telling the truth. Many of us invested 30 hours a week at school, and 20-30 hours a week working at part- time jobs. Although a few of us cited experi- ence as a reason for punching time- cards, most of us agreed that MONEY was the main reason that we worked. Considering this, it ' s not surprising that payday was often our favorite day of the week. Keeping the high spirits of payday was difficult, though, as we watched our paycheck quickly dwindle dowm to almost nothing the minute it was cashed. Car insurance, gas, clothes, movies, dates, and fun kept most of us living from one paycheck to the next.
