Infuriated by Annie's stubborn refusal to let Helen have her way, a frustrated Captain Keller glares at this inter- ruption to the welcome-home dinner.

Miracle Worker boosfs drama department here The portrayal of deaf and blind Helen Keller by blind student Lynn Wiggins made unique the production of “The Miracle Worker” by Baptist College students. The spring presentation further developed the relatively recent rise of dramatic art on this campus. Under the direction of Mrs. Eli- zabeth Osbeck, “The Mircale Worker” gave practical experience and technical know-how to students who plan to teach or who can use drama as a method for dispersing the gospel. Though hampered by inadequate facilities and equipment, “The Miracle Worker” deepened the experience of the whole student body in quality drama.
