The Drama Festival
Sudbuiy took cn a iesthe air last veekend l)e^niung early Friday
marmag vtimi ibe Tomn anive grceting bkarj^ed
Sudjburians witb a cbeery good roorping. After a ssries of^de^y
gnmts and with tlie aid of öun»n>us cups of
with anequally cheery greetingand the festive air continued untaiate
Sunday night^ wben with the depaiture of the out-of-töwners, a busy
wÄlcend came to a conclusioo.
The occasionof coijrse was the Anniial Youth Drania F)e5tival^^^~^^^
the fourth — which was iield in Sudbiny over the Easter weekend.^^
ITiis year; this' Finnish Ch-ganization of Canada sponsoredevent,had:
. the young people of Port Arthur, Toronto and Sudbuiy busily prepar- J
ing.tbelr entries yi the festK-al since late February. ^ . . > <
Jud^ng from the levd of pefformahces ä great deal of work had^
gone into rehearsals aithough in some cases a little more work'wonld
haive done a ^ y with the nuQor difficulties enoountered,.
- The adjudicators dedared tbe entry of, the Alerts A. C.' as the
best presented play and the John Salo trophy vras Vvrarded to directpr
Aino Pirskanen.! The play "Yö ja*päivä"by Aleksis Kivi is one of
the Finnish classics.;':The leading adtress' award was awarded ^JTaimi
A\'hitman Tvho was'cast'in the lead role. The leading actor's award
was presented to Taisto; Savela of Toronto for his psrformance/ in
*'The Valiant" which was directed by Allen Waren. Nita Aitkäits^iio
had a part in the same play was given the best supporting actressJ
award and Albert Maki,received the award for the best supporting ac-torfor
his part in the Sudbury play "Vastahenkeä" directed by Helen '
Grenon. " ' '• -
. Manyother membersof the casts of the five playspresent?d also
put on a comrinäng performance nialdng the tasks of the adjudicators V
a difficult bne. ' • , . -
_ Although this year .pnly five plays were presented 36 young
people were involved,in theplays;with the largest,east in the vinniijg
play. • ' - • .
AJn interesting- thing to^note is that the Finnish classics have
proved to be extremely popular with the audiences and that the ypung '
people have in the main been able- to overcome the difficult länguage
problems encpuntered. The main award in the first festival wa^ won
by a Sudbury groupunder the direction of Helen Grenon with the
play '-Lyylikki", The foIlowing year wheh the festival was held in
Toronto the play '-Sudet'-wasvery welirec;ived although itdid^not
win' the festi\'al. Last'year no Finnish c'a5sics were entered but this
year "Yö ja päivä", the' only Finnish classic entered; won top honors.
• '• Although the adjudication is done on thebasis of the performance
and the content of the play is nottaken into consideration, it is öb-
^^^bus that the Drama Festivalswill play an even more important role .
in our cultural worki if plays are chosen with audience appeal in mind.
(Past experiences seems to indicate that the most popular plays are the
dassics of the last century' with folkrplays "ninning aclose secondi • '
" - V -Experience has also shown that the younger generation jcan n\asr;
ijer^these plays and the ;language'difficulties;:prwidingpreparatio
are.startedin good time. , .-,
'• •'• HoTveverj the qiiestion of EngHsh plays should not be rejedt!^edj*äs;
there are many young'people in'-our clubs: whb either cannot \^'eak'.
Finnish or c^bnot speaik it.well enough to learn the Iines. ,But bere
:too>-more emphasis should be placed on the dioice of jplaysr-J^Astthe;
Drama Festival has now become a^permanent annuaV affair, it >m L
b(j'a good idea to start4ookingaround[ for g^
the.interest is high so^that the choice of plays and-direGtorscoujd be.:
discussed atclub meetingsand:the wholethingcouldbeconiecplkctive
effort. If preparations can be started will in advance it will mean that' •
there will be a^choice of people fof different paits and the' director
vrill not face the problem of havihg to "bug" someon^vyho is not an-^^
xious in taking pa;t.
^^^^^^^^^^ i^^^^ term planning wll make' it' possible to have möre ehi- '
ries in the festival and will also: lead to regional elhnination iestivals;:
thfe vrinners ofwhich would be entered in the central festival.
c: J>fow that we have firoilyestablished this important cultural'festival
wemust strive to rmprove it in every way. The best way to do
it'is to start preparations muchearlierthan has been the habitjpre^
ferably in the early fall when fäll activifies start. around the halls.
^ Smaller centres have persistently shied away from the festivals,
although, vjrhenthey have been?entered their performances haye been
well received and on numerous: occasions they have won individual ^
• a\vards. It is to be. hoped. that next year a number of the smaller^
cetitres will be entered. •
? In the final instance we must' always keep in mind that it is im'^
portant to strive to winy because after ali that is the purpose of com-petition;
but on the other hMä<it*is obvious that everyone cannot win.
Aitihough at times the decisibns o f the adjudicators may not seemquite
correct, they are nevertheless final and based ön a carefui appraisal of:
ali äspects and therefore cannot be changed. If it is felt that an in-justiee
has been 3one the best th^hg to do is to adopt the attitude that
next year even more work,will go into the production to ensure a
victory. **
This writer is of the opinion that such an attitude will seethe level,
of performances making a sharpupvrardtrend next year, '•

A 20 YEAR RECORD WIIX GO
What conclusloii io draw? This
Champion makingmethod-ls.ofaly in
itc earliest stages and we can be conr*
fident that there are many more to
come and lots of records" to go yet.
As a matter of f act,. in athletics. I
thmk we are going to see a whole
series of new figures for the 400. m.
and 800 m. The 800 m. is the distance
where. the almost super-hmnan
training Schedule should pay,'Teally
b'g dividends. Last ye^ar Roger Iijoen
of Belgium chcpped neaisy a rull se-cond
oif Rudolf Harbigv 16 year old
•record: Lou Jones of the USA set 45.4
sees. for the 400 m. Bob .Whllden 402
sees for the 440 yds. in a relay. They
and oihers shoUId do even better this
*eason.
ncYou could point to the 100 m. and
Jessle Owen*s 102 sees. 'which has
stood the test of the last 20 years.
This Is the distance wherenatural
abllity counts most.: but 5 others
have equalled 102 and in my opinion
'there are 16 athletej} capaUe oC dolng
the same. By tiie end of11066 I ex-pect
one of the 6 top Americana to
beat Jessie Owen's: flgture. Keep; an
eye open too for M. Germar af Ger-
:.many and Mike Agostlni of Trinidad.
Best bet of ali is perhaps Hec Hogan;
Australia, who equalled the 100 yds;
World record in r 92'sees., when not
fully tralned.

SOVIET HOCKEY CHAMPS
EMPHASIZED TEAM WORK
In a press Interview Vsevolod Bob-rqv,
the captain of the champlonship

his, impressions of the Winter
Olympic toumamcnt as followsM
- Questlon; How do you explairi the

a feeUng of great solldarity;* In'oor-tlna.
before every game, we would get
together.dlscuss the pian and go over
the tactical and technlcaL peculiari-tjes
of our opponents.
Question: What can you teli us
about the other teams" that participa-ted
in the ice-hockey tournament?
Answer: A few word3 about the
Americans first, There is no doubt
that the US team has becothestron-
£:er recently and was one of the main
bidders f or the Gold-Medals,.: Cjiarac-teristic
of the American players were
well concerted actions. fiwlftness, and
the aggresslve ••. spirit, Their goal-keeper,
Ikola; is a splendid tlayer.
As to the Canadians, I think that
their fame for being one of the
strongest teams in the world was not
s:jattered at the \ Glyniplcs,: though
they only came third.^ Their • defeat
by the US team was, I thlnk ducto

': I'have to admit that'the Czechoslo.
vak team did not live up to expecta-tlons.

skiU. ot> the players was practically
equal, But I can mention NU^olai
Sologubov. our defender, who dlsplay-ed
extraordinary Ingenulty; and ma-iuged
to keep a cool head in the most
excitlng moments. V Our young goal-keeper;
Nikolai Puchkov> also deserves
to be^mentioned for his good.form.;
Question: /TVhatare you impressions
of Cortina d'Ampezzo?
Answer: I havebeen to many European
:cduntries, but I tftiall remember
the games in Cortina for a l o i^ time.
The gorgeous scenery, the hospitality
of the Itallans, and the good sports-manship
that reigned throughout the
game8>-T we Soviet athletes shall ai-ways
remember. this, I.would like to
mention the spectators, the tourists
who came f rom ali parts of the world.
We met and talked to people of many
nationalitles. We were ali Insplred
by one thought, by one wish — to live
ir. peace and friendship.

The Drama Festival
Sudbuiy took cn a iesthe air last veekend l)e^niung early Friday
marmag vtimi ibe Tomn anive grceting bkarj^ed
Sudjburians witb a cbeery good roorping. After a ssries of^de^y
gnmts and with tlie aid of öun»n>us cups of
with anequally cheery greetingand the festive air continued untaiate
Sunday night^ wben with the depaiture of the out-of-töwners, a busy
wÄlcend came to a conclusioo.
The occasionof coijrse was the Anniial Youth Drania F)e5tival^^^~^^^
the fourth — which was iield in Sudbiny over the Easter weekend.^^
ITiis year; this' Finnish Ch-ganization of Canada sponsoredevent,had:
. the young people of Port Arthur, Toronto and Sudbuiy busily prepar- J
ing.tbelr entries yi the festK-al since late February. ^ . . > <
Jud^ng from the levd of pefformahces ä great deal of work had^
gone into rehearsals aithough in some cases a little more work'wonld
haive done a ^ y with the nuQor difficulties enoountered,.
- The adjudicators dedared tbe entry of, the Alerts A. C.' as the
best presented play and the John Salo trophy vras Vvrarded to directpr
Aino Pirskanen.! The play "Yö ja*päivä"by Aleksis Kivi is one of
the Finnish classics.;':The leading adtress' award was awarded ^JTaimi
A\'hitman Tvho was'cast'in the lead role. The leading actor's award
was presented to Taisto; Savela of Toronto for his psrformance/ in
*'The Valiant" which was directed by Allen Waren. Nita Aitkäits^iio
had a part in the same play was given the best supporting actressJ
award and Albert Maki,received the award for the best supporting ac-torfor
his part in the Sudbury play "Vastahenkeä" directed by Helen '
Grenon. " ' '• -
. Manyother membersof the casts of the five playspresent?d also
put on a comrinäng performance nialdng the tasks of the adjudicators V
a difficult bne. ' • , . -
_ Although this year .pnly five plays were presented 36 young
people were involved,in theplays;with the largest,east in the vinniijg
play. • ' - • .
AJn interesting- thing to^note is that the Finnish classics have
proved to be extremely popular with the audiences and that the ypung '
people have in the main been able- to overcome the difficult länguage
problems encpuntered. The main award in the first festival wa^ won
by a Sudbury groupunder the direction of Helen Grenon with the
play '-Lyylikki", The foIlowing year wheh the festival was held in
Toronto the play '-Sudet'-wasvery welirec;ived although itdid^not
win' the festi\'al. Last'year no Finnish c'a5sics were entered but this
year "Yö ja päivä", the' only Finnish classic entered; won top honors.
• '• Although the adjudication is done on thebasis of the performance
and the content of the play is nottaken into consideration, it is öb-
^^^bus that the Drama Festivalswill play an even more important role .
in our cultural worki if plays are chosen with audience appeal in mind.
(Past experiences seems to indicate that the most popular plays are the
dassics of the last century' with folkrplays "ninning aclose secondi • '
" - V -Experience has also shown that the younger generation jcan n\asr;
ijer^these plays and the ;language'difficulties;:prwidingpreparatio
are.startedin good time. , .-,
'• •'• HoTveverj the qiiestion of EngHsh plays should not be rejedt!^edj*äs;
there are many young'people in'-our clubs: whb either cannot \^'eak'.
Finnish or c^bnot speaik it.well enough to learn the Iines. ,But bere
:too>-more emphasis should be placed on the dioice of jplaysr-J^Astthe;
Drama Festival has now become a^permanent annuaV affair, it >m L
b(j'a good idea to start4ookingaround[ for g^
the.interest is high so^that the choice of plays and-direGtorscoujd be.:
discussed atclub meetingsand:the wholethingcouldbeconiecplkctive
effort. If preparations can be started will in advance it will mean that' •
there will be a^choice of people fof different paits and the' director
vrill not face the problem of havihg to "bug" someon^vyho is not an-^^
xious in taking pa;t.
^^^^^^^^^^ i^^^^ term planning wll make' it' possible to have möre ehi- '
ries in the festival and will also: lead to regional elhnination iestivals;:
thfe vrinners ofwhich would be entered in the central festival.
c: J>fow that we have firoilyestablished this important cultural'festival
wemust strive to rmprove it in every way. The best way to do
it'is to start preparations muchearlierthan has been the habitjpre^
ferably in the early fall when fäll activifies start. around the halls.
^ Smaller centres have persistently shied away from the festivals,
although, vjrhenthey have been?entered their performances haye been
well received and on numerous: occasions they have won individual ^
• a\vards. It is to be. hoped. that next year a number of the smaller^
cetitres will be entered. •
? In the final instance we must' always keep in mind that it is im'^
portant to strive to winy because after ali that is the purpose of com-petition;
but on the other hMä |
