A powerful 1962 biographical drama about Helen Keller and her determined teacher Anne Sullivan, whose difficult journey toward communication becomes an unforgettable story of patience, discipline, breakthrough, and human connection.
Classic Movie Friday is a recurring library movie series at Sylvan Oaks Library, typically held on second Fridays. This month’s screening is scheduled for 2:30–4:30 p.m. in the Sylvan Oaks Meeting Room, with refreshments generously provided by the Friends of Sylvan Oaks Library.
This powerful biographical drama tells the story of Helen Keller, a young girl who is deaf and blind, and Anne Sullivan, the determined teacher who refuses to give up on reaching her.

The Boater Hat Tap to expand
Flat-top confidence since 1870 — Timeless. Weightless. Fearless.
Boater Hat: From River Regatta to Runway Classic
(1870 – 1930s)
Born on the rivers of England and France, the stiff-brimmed straw hat kept oarsmen cool under the sun. Its flat crown made it easy to stack or stow between races.
Adopted for summer outings, cycling, and seaside trips. Men paired it with striped blazers; women with shirtwaists and long skirts.
A mark of collegiate charm and barbershop harmony. In the U.S., “Straw Hat Day” celebrated its annual debut each May.
The boater crowns everyone from silent-film crowds to jazz-age partygoers. Light, crisp, modern — a uniform for summer modernity.
As felt fedoras took over, the boater lingered in uniforms, gondoliers, and nostalgic fashion — forever linked to early-20th-century elegance.
