Posing backstage at Emily Brittain School are members of the puppet troupe, “The Kids on the Block,” from the March 2, 1982, edition of the Butler Eagle. The puppets, which have different disabilities, are used in performances to draw out questions from students about people with disabilities. The group traveled internationally and appeared on nationally televised talk shows. Vicki White, left, who coordinated the effort to bring the troupe to Butler, met with puppeteers Paula Pettavino, center, and Sylvia Jackson.
