Death, Dare, Hair Shape ’78 Scene While countless events shaped the lives of students in K.V., many other intluences — national and worldly — had an effect on their lives. 1. Freddie Prinze, star of the TV series “Chico and the Man,” died in 1977. 2. Reggie Jackson, of the NY Yankees, smiles and waves to the crowd after he set a home run record during the 1977 World Series, by hitting three homers in one game. 3. Gene Simmons, the vampire figure of the rock group KISS, exhibits the kind of ghoulish antics that continue to attract large audiences wherever they go. 4. Elvis Presley, king of rock’n’roll, died in August of 1977. 5. George Willig, a toy maker by trade but a mountain climber in his heart, climbs up the sheer face of the World Trade Tower in New York City in May of 1977. 6. Janet Guthrie, the first woman to compete in the Indianapolis 500, pours water on herself in the pit area during a pit stop. 7. Bing Crosby, a singer who will be remembered for his White Christmases, died in October of 1977. 8. Newest face on the star scene in 1977 was Farah Fawcett- Majors, whose hairdo and slim figure made her name a household word. Here she is on the tennis court in Los Angeles. 10

Miracles Worked “Helen knocked over the water; put another pitcher on!” . . . “You pushed the baby out instead of the doll!” . . . “Andy, you came in two pages too ear- ly” “The Miracle Worker”, performed on November 18 19, made each per- son in the audience wonder what they would do in Annie’s place. The au- dience withdrew from wanting to change places with Annie, after seeing Helen’s food in Annie’s face. The thrill in Annie and Helen’s mother that He- len lea rned to use her spoon and fold her napkin, washed away all feelings of sympathy for Annie. In the water scene, when Helen associates the word “water” with the wetness running out of the pump, the audience shared her triumph. See page 165 for the cast list. 1. “Yes Helen, It has a name!” 2. “Sarah dear, I don’t want to go.” 3. Annie “un- teaching Helen six years of pity.” 4. “She’s a Keller; she has the constitution of a goat.” 5. “Get the tension in here!” 6. “I wish there was someone here to help me. I need a teacher as much as Helen.” 7. “She knows! She knows!” 12
