One Acts Become Legend “Jump, go ahead and guinea pig. jump, see if I care, well go ahead, jump ” The One Acts: “Flowers for Alger- non”, “I Never Saw Another Butterfly” and “Ledge, Led- ger and Legend” took a flying leap onto stage as well as into the hearts of those who attended them on Satur- day, February 5, 1983. “Flowers for Algernon” was a one-act play concern- ing Charlie Gordon, played by Trent Thomas, being changed from a retarded man to a genius. This was done with the help of Professor Ne- mur (Jennifer German) and Professor Strauss (Billy Skin- ner), who soon finds out he is also a human being and not a In “I Never Saw Another Butterfly”, Stephanie Moore portrayed a young girl named Raja. Raja is a Jew in the ghetto during WW II. With the help of her teacher friend Irena (Janella Carpenter) and her boyfriend Honza (Billy Skinner), she learned not to be afraid and how to survive. “Ledge, Ledger, and Leg- end”, took a funny look at suicide. Pamela Rutherford, played by Dawn Van Gilder, starts to commit suicide, the wrong way. J.M. (Janet Wil- son) comes along to show her how to do it right. They both learn that life isn’t all that bad and they should live it to its fullest.

Blustery Relays — 1983 In keeping with its blustery tradition, the 12th annual Charger Relays opened to six- teen male and female teams on Friday, April 15. The annual event brings in its own Rites of Spring by being one of the cold- est days for any season. This year teams were challenged not only by some of the best harrier competition in Central Indiana, but also by nippy degrees in the thirties and low forties. And, when the sun sank over the goal posts on Charger Field, extra mittens, scarves, and masks were seen not only on specta- tors, but also modeled by the competitors. In citing the goals of the individually-oriented event, Mr. German and Mr. Stuffle, hosts for the meet, both concurred the same thing by stating, “The Relays allow more people to compete in the meet itself since they are competing for a team total and not for an individual score.” Although no team score is recorded for the event, runners from West La- fayette were seen running away with majority of the blue satin. Outstanding performances for the home team Chargers were recorded by Jill and Jodi Dyer in the discus throw, the shuttle Hurtles comprised of Susan Struck, Jill Lytle, Angela Shel- ton and Kelly Smith, and the shotput event of Sheri Spangler and Marlena Verhey. The men’s best event was the Sprint Relay of Jeff Grant, Kent McAninch, Donnie McCormick and Doug McDonald. BUCKLES MARATHON Linden Indiana, 47955 Phone: 339-4222
