 Hire Auto Truck?
 There has been some talk of hiring an auto bus to convey the followers of the basketball team to Water bury on next Friday evening when New Britain plays there. When Wa. terbury played in New Britain earlier in the season, one of the best games of the year was staged and an equally close match is anticipated when New Britain plays in Waterbury. Many have already signified their intention of witnessing the coming game, but some balk at the stay overnight which is necessary if the trip is made by train. The bus the party could re turn the same night and thus avoid the overnight stay. The management will probably decide whether or not to hire an auto truck early next week.

 It is thought that minstrel show would be fully as popular as the con- cert by the college boys as there IS always more interest manifested in an entertainment when the talent is en- tirely local. The cost of producing would be less and, except for the trouble of preparation, the minstrel show would seem on the whole, more worth while than the G1ee club con- cert. The senior class will meet next week to take action on recognizing this minstrel show and whether or not to give up the plans for the other. IT the minstrel show were placed under the direction of Harry Gins burg, it would be put in competent hands as he has had wide experience in this line of entertainment.
