 The Miracle Worker was a sad, inspirational play about a family who had a handicaped little girl who was blinded when young. The eleven cast members met often to go over their parts in the play. I thought the play was very successful, I was happy with it and was pleased with the characters, set, and the student audience. They were very mature in their conduct, commented Director Bernie Clark. The highlight of the play was when Annie Sullivan, (Jeanine Lindquist) got Helen (Solveig Hansen) to spell words with her hands and to recognize things by the way they felt. The Miracle Worker was the first play done in years. It was well received by the audience and the cast and prop members who had lots of fun putting on the play. 15

Council Moves Rock, Attend Convention The Student Council achieved various things this year to make the school year more worthwhile. The year began with a two day convention at Omaha Tech. The convention was set up to exchange ideas and discuss improvements for the Student Council. The members sponsored the movie “The Other Side of the Mountain at Christmas. Admission was a can of food to be donated to the welfare office. The most significant project was moving the Wahoo High School rock from the old school to the new school. Next years election may prove to be different. Elections requiring a campaign may be the way to a new and improved Student Council, according to sponsor Jim Carlson. 1.
