,Query gle, Melissa Mosman Earlene Herness Neo Edwards Row three Nel The Miracle Worker was presented as the fa ll play by the Yelm Thespians. It is the story of Helen Keller, a blind deaf mute, and the open- ing of anew world for her--a world of comprehension. Not only is it a story of Helen, but a story of her great teacher, Anne Sullivan . Anne herself had known the frus- tration of blindness, Through patience and determination, the defiant Helen is transformed from an animal-like beast to a human being. Helen learns the meaning of a word, but Anne le arns that she is capable of love. This rela- tionship creates a moving story. Earlene Herness Q? an 9' .. BRQWE7 ll Q'i-kvi3i?i2iVf '
