REFLECTIONS
There Shall Be No Night . . .
Once in a long while one is privileged to witness something which
is of the earth and vet is verv close to the stars---- of the earth because it
deals with the grim realities of war, of the stars because it reveals hearts
which refuse to bow before tyrannic force. Such a play' is "There Shall
Be No Night” by Robert E. Sherwood, starring Lynn Fontanne and
Alfred Lunt.
The theme—the effect of war waged by' power-crazed dictators,
upon members of a peace-loving family of .a famed Finnish neurologist
and Nobek Prize winner, and how each reacts in the face of this grim
reality---- is a vivid and telling revelation of the unconquerable spirit of
little peoples who go down fighting gallantly with nothing but their
faith to strengthen them.
When invasion comes upon Finland, Kaari Valkonen sees his only
son, Eric, caught in the maelstrom of fighting men. He sees his daughter
to-be ready to destroy' her unborn child rather than bring it into a world
fraught with an atmosphere of fear and hate and suffering. And he comes
to realize that working within the walls of his laboratory, he has been
refusing to face actualities, and against his own beliefs on war, he goes
gallantly to his death that unborn children shall be born into a world
where there shall be no more night.
£
It is a propagandist play, but the quiet restraint of the acting, the
slow but inevitable march of events to their climax, lifts the propa
gandist element into the realm of pure drama.
Throughout the three-hour play' are memorable scenes such as the
tender, yet pathetically gay' parting between mother and son: the heart
break of a father, unspoken but felt: the outburst of Kaatri, symbol of
all girlhood raised in a world of fear and bloodshed: the almost patriotic
fervor of Eric as he denounces the very foundations of civilization: and
the dramatic and effective close, with Miranda and Waldemar, one htisbandless and sonless, the other still burning with a patriotism for a coun
try' that is no more---- waiting for the inevitable, refusing to leave even in
the face of death.
And somehow, coming away from the play, one could not but
feel that democracy that fire of freedom---- although it mau become
dimmed and obscured at intervals, mill never be quite put out. Surely,
With people like the idealistic Valkonen, the stoic Miranda, the passtonate Waldemar, the zealous Eric, in the world, there will come
a time when “There Shall Be No Night.”

Will You Be My Valentine? , , ,
To these I sent a Valentine:
. . . the prettiest girl in the class because she is so popular, because
she is beautiful, because she is as unattainable as the Evening Star.
. . . the homeliest girl in the neighborhood, because she can ‘‘take
it," because she is the butt of everybody’s jokes.
. . . the richest girl in town because she is generous to those who
shower her with favors.
But to these I forgot to send a Valentine:
. . . a certain "girl" whose love is as constant as the
— Northern Star
itself, whose hands are red with dish-washing, whose hair is streaked
with gray.
• • ■ the girl next door, who alway's listens to my' dreams, who helps
me with my work, who forgives what others would not because she
knows me for what I am.
• • • the girl who lies on a bed of pain, the world of sunshine and
blue sky shut out by' four white walls.
. . . the lonely girl in our midst, a little shy, a little lost, a little
bewildered.
Perhaps this is why V alenttne's Day does not mean so much to me.

REFLECTIONS
There Shall Be No Night . . .
Once in a long while one is privileged to witness something which
is of the earth and vet is verv close to the stars---- of the earth because it
deals with the grim realities of war, of the stars because it reveals hearts
which refuse to bow before tyrannic force. Such a play' is "There Shall
Be No Night” by Robert E. Sherwood, starring Lynn Fontanne and
Alfred Lunt.
The theme—the effect of war waged by' power-crazed dictators,
upon members of a peace-loving family of .a famed Finnish neurologist
and Nobek Prize winner, and how each reacts in the face of this grim
reality---- is a vivid and telling revelation of the unconquerable spirit of
little peoples who go down fighting gallantly with nothing but their
faith to strengthen them.
When invasion comes upon Finland, Kaari Valkonen sees his only
son, Eric, caught in the maelstrom of fighting men. He sees his daughter
to-be ready to destroy' her unborn child rather than bring it into a world
fraught with an atmosphere of fear and hate and suffering. And he comes
to realize that working within the walls of his laboratory, he has been
refusing to face actualities, and against his own beliefs on war, he goes
gallantly to his death that unborn children shall be born into a world
where there shall be no more night.
£
It is a propagandist play, but the quiet restraint of the acting, the
slow but inevitable march of events to their climax, lifts the propa
gandist element into the realm of pure drama.
Throughout the three-hour play' are memorable scenes such as the
tender, yet pathetically gay' parting between mother and son: the heart
break of a father, unspoken but felt: the outburst of Kaatri, symbol of
all girlhood raised in a world of fear and bloodshed: the almost patriotic
fervor of Eric as he denounces the very foundations of civilization: and
the dramatic and effective close, with Miranda and Waldemar, one htisbandless and sonless, the other still burning with a patriotism for a coun
try' that is no more---- waiting for the inevitable, refusing to leave even in
the face of death.
And somehow, coming away from the play, one could not but
feel that democracy that fire of freedom---- although it mau become
dimmed and obscured at intervals, mill never be quite put out. Surely,
With people like the idealistic Valkonen, the stoic Miranda, the passtonate Waldemar, the zealous Eric, in the world, there will come
a time when “There Shall Be No Night.”
*

Will You Be My Valentine? , , ,
To these I sent a Valentine:
. . . the prettiest girl in the class because she is so popular, because
she is beautiful, because she is as unattainable as the Evening Star.
. . . the homeliest girl in the neighborhood, because she can ‘‘take
it," because she is the butt of everybody’s jokes.
. . . the richest girl in town because she is generous to those who
shower her with favors.
But to these I forgot to send a Valentine:
. . . a certain "girl" whose love is as constant as the
— Northern Star
itself, whose hands are red with dish-washing, whose hair is streaked
with gray.
• • ■ the girl next door, who alway's listens to my' dreams, who helps
me with my work, who forgives what others would not because she
knows me for what I am.
• • • the girl who lies on a bed of pain, the world of sunshine and
blue sky shut out by' four white walls.
. . . the lonely girl in our midst, a little shy, a little lost, a little
bewildered.
Perhaps this is why V alenttne's Day does not mean so much to me.

Softly, the cool summer breeze

from whence came wondrous tales

the “sendo-san" (boat-man), with
his long stick, pushed and pushed

Geishas ...
Perched, doll-like, sweet, demure,
Forever the plaything, the toy' of

Dressed in gorgeous silk brocade.
Hair pompadoured, in ivory' hands
a fan.
Smiling---- a surface smile.
Forever alert, to charm and beguile.
But underneath.
Where only God could see,
A heart —- a turbulent wheel oh
suffering, suffocating fire,
A soul not free.

Obvious Contradiction
High School Oratory
A glance at the list of topics chosen
■*by7 student contestants in the an
nual high school oratorical contest
sponsored by the University Students’
Club will reveal the interest it should
hold for all of us.
There is apparent, even from the
mere titles, that note of youthful
idealism and enthusiasm, which must
be the very life and substance of the
second generation struggle in Canada.
These young .orators indicate the in
telligent interest in the problems they
must face as the “Nisei.” And more
important, they bring to these prob
lems an attitude of optimistic deter
mination to conquer every obstacle.
The reality of years should serve to
broaden and develop that interest. It
must not be allowed to warp and twist
that attitude. Rather, like cold water
upon heated steel, it must temper and
harden that determination to go on
fighting, even though it may seem but
for the very sake of the struggle alone.
The boys and girls who are to speak
this Saturday deserve your attention;
and if you will listen to them, as they
should be listened to, you will go
away refreshed and uplifted by their
quality of idealism.
