FLOWERS FOR Drama produced their first play of the year with the per- formance of Flowers for Algernon in late November. It was a compelling story of Charlie Gordon, a mentally handicapped man and a willing victim of a strange experi- ment based on the intellectual capabilities of man. Charlie, played by Jim Chamberlin, accepts the operation that would make him smarter. Going from dumb to smart, Charlie undergoes changes mentally and physically, but when he learns that Algernon, a mouse dies from the same experiment, he soon believes the same will happen to him and he starts to regress and returns to his normal state, a mentally handicapped man. 66

WINTER BRINGS SURF DANCE Let ' s go surfing now, everybody ' s learning how, come on a safari with me! The waves were rad and the sounds were cool at the ' 60 ' s surf dance. Far out surfer cats hangin five and riding the tide in their beach apparel even though Summer was tucked under the chilly Winter skies in early December. Though the gig was small, there were cool dudes and swingin chicks hangin ' out down near the surf in the gym. Groups like the Beach Boys, Go-Go ' s, and the Deltones, played the wild tunes that everyone wanted to hear. There was a limbo contest in which surf cats put their skills to the test and there were far out slides of high waves and totally cool surfed out surfers. Bananas and pineapple were sold as well as leis. It was a farout night in those wild ' 60 ' s down near the surf in Laguna Hills. 68
