Later in the fall, the BHSU Theatre Department presented the final event celebrating the Quasquicentennial year, an original drama about the history of the University. “Letters from the Past – a Celebration of 125 years at BHSU” was written by BHSU theatre student Jessica Juhrend. The story was about a student writing a paper on the history of her school. She discovered old letters from students describing the school. Each decade depict- ed was accompanied by a musical number.
