JUNIOR CALLS STORY
TELLING PARTY is
GREAT SUCCESS
1900 CHILDREN HEAR
MRS. OLSEN'S TALES

How many OF the Juniors came to
the story telling party which the Junior
Cali gave to the boys and girls Of San
Francisco last Saturday afternoon in
z Scottish Rite temple? Those who were
there will tell you 1t was the best party
ever. and 1t was source of much graf
ification to see how enthusiastically the
girls and boys responded to the invita-
tions.
The doors of the hall were scheduled
to open at o'clock, and as early as
1890 the children began to gather BY
the time o'clock rolled around they
werc massed up and down Sutter street
from Van Ness avenue to Polk street.
MY! What hurrying and scurrying
once they did get past the doors Boys
and girls, large and small, some with
small brothers and sisters hanging to
coats and skirts, came rushing down
the aisies. and by 2:s0 o'clock the big
hall was filled to the entrances with
happy faced. expectant children.
Mrs olsen told them stories to their
hearts content "Oliver Twist" was
the first, and those of you who are
familiar with. divers woes and tribu-
lations will appreciate the deep interest
with which the audience followed Mrs.
Olsen's recital of them.
The second story she told was that
OF Daniel O'Rourke and his fantastic
trip to the moon, while the third took
up the adventures of Wee Willie Win
kie. In between the tales were musical
numbers contributed by three splendid
young musicians--little Miss Blanche
Hertz, Harold Abbott and Julius Lister.
SO great q success was this first big
party that the Junior Call has decided
to repeat it at an early day. While
nothing definite has been settled on as
yet, the announcement of the second
big story telling bee will be made very
shortly, SO that it behooves all good
Juniors to keep their eyes wide open
and watch the papers. Mrs. Olsen Is
busy getting ready some more good
stories, and there will be a musical pro-
gram also.
The boys and girls who were on hand
last Saturday will be sure to come
again, and those who were not can not
afford to miss second good time.
Keep your eyes open and read the
Junior Call.

PUPILS OF CROCkER
GRAMMAR SCHOOL
WIN LAURELS
BOYS AND GIRLS TURN
OUT FINE PAPER

What's the matter with the Crocker
grammar school? It's all right!
That's what they've been saying since
last Saturday, when the Crocker school
number of The Junior Call made it's
appearance with flying colors. There is
no doubt that the editorial stan, re-
cruited from among the pupils of the
school. along with it's corps of wide
awake, energetic reporters, turned out
thoroughly creditable paper.
With the exception of the space de-
voted to the standing contests. pic
ture Of Alonzo and two announcements
concerning the big story telling party
at Scottish Rite temple. every inch of
the paper was filled with copy culled by
these same editors and reporters. And
not only was last Saturdays Junior
filled. but filled to overflowing. Four
columns of material was crowded out
through insufficient space. and this
same matter appears in the current
issue.
Under the able management of Mer-
ril Mensor. the editor in chief and his
clever STAFF, every department in the
school was carefully covered. There
were three splendid editorials, a social
column full Of school news despite the
fact that Lent is rather a dull season
for the society editors pickings and
couple of interesting articles on the
athletic situation Over in the middle
page appeared a cooking department,
in which was found string of recipes
our mothers would find it hard to beat.
The back page was particularly inter-
esting. in that 1t dealt with a number of
articles directly pertinent to San Fran
cisco today. On this same page was a
resume of the work accomplished by
the classes in manual training. illus
trated by a large photograph showing
the boys at work.
There were short stories galore and
any number of articles, while one of the
most interesting features was the page
full of personal experiences Some OF
them were thoroughly startling and
made good reading.
The Junior Call here and now wishes
to congratulate the boys and girls OF
the Crocker grammar school on their
splendidly efficient work. They have
set the pace. and pace hard to beat.
Within few weeks there will be an
other school edition. so keep watch
be chosen, and then it will be up to you
to do your share toward making a rec
ord for yourself and your alma mater.
