Drama comes back lo Cul-ling hall in fall pla The fall play, The Miracle Worker, was the first drama in Cutting hall since 1969. It played Oct. 18 and 19 to standing ovations. junior lean Linsner won the title role of Annie Sullivan, teacher of blind deaf mute Helen Keller, played by fresh- man Sue Guenther. Other members of the cast included Betsy Santow as Mrs. Keller, Mike jenkins as Captain Keller, Ben Siegler as son james, Sheila Fyfe as Aunt Ev, Eric Mund- singer as servant boy Percy and lanice Lindegard as Viney the maid. The play dealt with the proud Keller family of post Civil War Alabama and their efforts to find help for their handi- capped daughter Helen. From Dr. Anagnos lFrank McGeeJ, a specialist at a clinic for the blind in Boston, they learned of someone who would teach Helen. They became appre- hensive when the teacher turned out to be Annie Sullivan, a stubborn twenty year old with a great desire to teach the blind. Through many experiences, Annie endeared herself to Helen and the Kellers and gave Helen contact with the outside world. First obedience and then communication were Annie-'s objectives. While trying to achieve obedience, Annie forced Helen to sit at the table to finish breakfast. After earning Helen's love, Annie taught her the alphabet at the Keller pump.
