Barnes and Mrs. Perry were in charge of the table decor with huge May baskets in Blue, white, lime and yellow filled with bouquets of magenta verbena, asters, pentas, oleander, frangi- panni, snapdragon and other flow- ers. At the entrance and on the tables were beribboned minature May poles on a mat of fern. The multicolored streamers, festooned from striped pink and blue poles, were held by a ring of tiny dolls in frocks made with satin bodices and full flared skirts trimmed in matching ribbon. The dolls wore bonnets and accessoris to match in red and white, green and white, primrose and white, aqua and white, lilac and white, skyblue with white and pink with white. Name cards and place cards were tiny striped drinking straws to represent May poles and were -topped with four or five curling paper streamers.

Jameson, noted writer who} maintaines residence at 1501 Oli- \¥ia Street, Jameson startled his j steners at tre outset by adding to lopers.” From then on, he held the Tapt attention of the large assem: bly with combined seriousness and humor. His topic was “How Not To Write Short Stories.” He claim- ed he had spent eight years learn- ing how not to write them, and was perfecting himself ‘‘in reverse.” Jameson explained the plight of writers which he described as “a kind of disease; you feel terrible if you keep doing it and you feel worse if you stop.” In defining a short story he said}, that it was not a narrative, a tale or a sketch and said that a short story could best be defined by telling about form, that is, struc- ture. He began by pointing out that the opening must have punch and that the material must be made of something “that people will want to read. First there is bre Singperedl which is arranged th editors, layouts, etc. ive up to this formidable ad- aoe notice, said Jameson, the best thing is to sit back and re- member that your story has to be about people who are as nearly like flesh-and-blood people as pos- sible. Character identification must be recognizable. Second step is to put the hero | before a barrier. In other words, conflict and a problem to create interest. He suggested introducing the hero early in the story and putting him into motion pronto. Next, “put ouf hooks” to relay more about the problem and hero’s character. Atmosphere belongs in the start, too. it helps people vis- ualize better,” Jameson. said. Once the story starts rolling to- ward. the middle, the problem should be made more difficult for the hero (probably for the writer, too) and the way in which it is to be solved must be done in a realistic way, Jameson underscor- ed, Realism means - possibility, whatever the realm.or field. The element of suspense is all- important, It adds vividness, he Said, and sustains interest. A single viewpoint is ‘best. for the short story;.the: pace. must be kept at a the rate at which it set off. “Simplicity-is something else to keepin’ mind,” he said, es- pecially when it comes to ‘using words, in realistic’ dialogue. At this point, Jameson reeled out a line for the word “said” which was used in a story and the ef- fect was overwhelming to say the least, A surprise is good, if tt can be worked in logically. To back up all the statements, Jame- son read his version of “Three Little Pigs,” using the suggested the usual greeting to the ladies, guests, members, the word “inter- { Outline. points, He followed it with the . wrong fond to tell the same King And Queen Of The May asaya i lacs genta May Festival were Bobby and Darlene Jurezynski.

In open forum, Jameson answer- ed a number of questions on story writing.
