Flowers Algernon The atmosphere of the play was effectively established through the use of song and lyrics by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel -- along with quick scene changes which carried the story smoothly. Under the direction of Miss Kris Newman, the cast and crews worked long hours with a great group commitment to produce an impressive performance. A new innovation to standard procedure was added this year when the members of the Drama Club sponsored a reception for families of the cast, crews, and administration. The flower on Algernon's grave stood alone in the fading spotlight as The Sounds of Silence played to the darkened theater. The audience was then left in silent darkness for a moment, followed by realization, and then, a standing ovation. The fall play, FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON, told of Charly Gordon's chance for know- ledge. Charly, a mentally retarded man, undergoes a brain operation similar to an operation given to Algernon, a mouse. To- gether, Charly and Algernon get smart , and Charly eventually comes to know, intellectually and emotionally, the joys and frustrations of a superior intellect. Then, came the regression; First, Algernon dies, then Charly returns to his former state, retaining just enough memories to plant a flower on Algernon's grave in the final scene. He's rather nice look- ing, dark hair and eyes
