2A THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdoy, June 14, 1966 . ie LIBRARY NEWS AND REVIEWS TEEN SCENE SUZANNE WEEKS STEVE JARRELL BILL VAN VEGHEL BOUDIEN WITTEWEEN BARBARA ANN 61885 Teens Talk Of Discipline Six studenis of Oshawa asked: Has school discipline Catholic High School were been carried to an extreme fm the case of a Cobourg youth who was recently suspend- ed because he went home for lunch (home was several minutes away) and thus broke a school rule that says everyone must stay in school OMER DUPUIS, 18, Grade li: " ... it would seem to me that this student saw noth- ing wrong in what he was doing. Perhaps he was not aware of the rule, However, it had been broken and it was up to the authorities to see that he was punished." BILL VAN VEGHEL, 16, Grade 11: "Every organiza- tion must have regulations to help maintain discipline. Rules are made for a reason --not for the sake of being broken." STEVE JARRELL, 16, Grade 11: 'All of Oshawa's schools encourage siudents to go home for iunch. There must be another more impor- tant reason for this particu- lar student to have had to stay at school," BARBARA ANN GIBBS, 17, Grade 11: "School rules are made for a purpose, and not to be broken. In this case the student could have gone to the principal and asked for for lunch? special permission to go home for lunch, thus saving all the confusion." SUZANNE . WEEKS, Grade 11: "There must be some circumstances which we do not know about. If the student has been staying for lunch all year then the prin- cipal is responsible for him during this time. A student is only suspended when he has done something which is ser- jously wrong." 17, BOUDIEN WITTEWEEN, 16, Grade 11: "Most of the collegiates here have about one and one half hours of noon hour time in which they have ample time to go home for lunch and be back in time for afternoon classes. These siudents live quite close to their schools which allows them enough time. Students of our schools mostly live on the outside of the city and bring their lunches. Many students, however, live close enough to the school that they can go home for lunch." Stratford Moderate Success, Writes New York Times Critic NEW YORK (CP)--The Strat- ford, Ont., Shakespearean Fes- tival production of Henry V. which opened its l4th season Monday has been pronounced only moderately successful by Stanley Kauffmann, New York Times drama critic. Kauffman reaches this con- clusion "because the part of Henry himself needs a virtuoso. Douglas Rain is a resourceful, spry, fairly intense actor, but he is not the magnetic young king - general who sparked a) nation."' He has praise for the other | actors--with the comment that 'a group of able French-speak- ing Canadian actors portray the unwise French court with grace and, one may add, broadmind- edness" -- and Michael Lang- ham's direction is energetic. Writing generally, Kauffman observes: "The actors do not play Shakespeare as an act of piety or resurrection. They have no special theory to prove, nor are they worried about Shakes- peare's timeliness, They present the play as a theatrical event-- in -straightforward yet poetic style, marked by good speech, good voices and good under- standing of good verse." Press Acclaim For Hart House LONDON (CP) -- Toronto's Hart House Chamber Orches- tra, making its single London appearance Wednesday night in the course of a European tour, won high praise in the Daily | Telegraph for its concert. "From the point of view of performance, last night's con- cert was a complete success, All the works were for the strings and there is no doubt that in this department the or- chestra is many a mile ahead of its English competitors. "The apparent ability of any of the 16 players to take a prominent solo line was very noticeable. So, too, was the rich full-blooded tone which the or- chestra achieved in tutti pas- sages with no looseness of en- semble and only the slightest tendency to deviate in intona- tion."' | (The following reviews were written by Miss Ruth Brooking, "lead of the Adult WiRG Jc aeees ee ee H, J, Boyle.

Tuesday night saw the opening of Henry VI, which sev- eral critics felt was the better of the two historical plays. The festival will continue to Oct. 8 and will also feature Strindberg's The Dance of Death, The Last of the Czars by Michael Bawtree of Toronto and Mozart's Don Giovanni, as well as performances by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. After Wednesday's production, Peter Bellamy of the Cleveland Plain Dealer predicted that "the comedy will undoubtedly be the hit of the festival season," province, said: "This is the way to treat Shakespearean comedy, with- out stodginess or pomposity, to blend love and lightness, humor and happiness, and finish with Critics were generally enthu: | siastic in their praise for the| James Barber, Vancouver | BEATTY HAULAGE SAND GRAVEL LOAM TRENCHING EXCAVATING BACK FILLING LOTS LEVELLED 725-2156 344 Pine Ave. Oshewe cosm which bred jealousy and! has proven her ability in weav- Even Anthem Applauded At Opening Twelfth Night By DONALD PHILLIPSON (a whipped-cream confection of | 1, ~ | elevant fresh delight."

HES HUMOR, MAGIC Herbert Whittaker, Tor-| onto Globe and Mail, said the production brought humor and magic to the Stratford stage. "It also brought the happy recognition that the festival has acquired another very useful director in... Mr. William." Nathan Cohen, Toronto Star, disagreed with Mr. Whittaker, saying the production "has no magic in its voice," It was an- other attempt "to hack Shakes- peare down to pint-sized propor- tions."' "Excess in what Mr. William dotes on, surfeit he achieves, thereby certainly causing our appetite for Shakespeare, al- ready spoiled by performances of Henry V and Henry VI this week, to sicken still further," Canadian Question by Ramsay Cook or Owen by C, E.
