Children love stories. A good teacher will know many stories and know them well. The value of story-telling was realized in our Normal school about five years ago when a club was organized under the guidance of Miss Inez Johnson. This year the club has been very active and rewards for its labors can be easily seen. Meetings were held every Monday night, with few exceptions, and very entertaining programs were given. The stories were divided into different groups, so that at one time the program would consist of animal stories, again of humorous stories, mythology stories, or miscellaneous programs with special features. Two Junior Story-Telling Clubs have been organized; one in the East Side School under Miss Daisy Watkins, and the other, in the Butcher School. These boys and girls were the guests of the J. S. T. C. many times this year. Besides this work members of the J. S. T. C. have provided enter- tianment at many of the chapel exercises in the public schools. The club closed its successful year with a marshmallow and wiener roast held on Monday night, May twenty-sixth. Twenty-scv

The dramatic training was given by Miss Johnson, who also saw to the procuring of the costumes. These, beautiful and appropriate, were loaned by Mr. E. C. Jones, the merchant. The performance was credible to all that took part as well as to the trainer, and that chapel was pronounced one of the most interesting of the entire year. Trvcntv-ninc
