give a show saturday nov 5 the night of the lafayette game was the date selected and though but a few days over two weeks are available for rehearsals it is known that an an excellent show can be gotten up if everybody helps after some discussion it was de cided that there should be one general manager and that he should have an assistant and a director for each of the various parts ot the performance r farnham was elected manager and chose c m knight as his assistant in a short but pointed speech he out lined the plan to be pursued and presented its difficulties these he showed were ones which could be easily overcome not by the efforts ot the manager but by the work done by the college at large the necessity of every man in the chorus attending all the rehearsals was pointed out and each man was urged to do his part toward making the whole a success jackson 99 was elected musical director and white 1900 was chosen to take charge of the spec ialties it is hoped that a part of the college orchestra can be se cured to furnish the music and that every person who knows of any amusing act that might serve for a specialty will speak to white at once hanscom 1900 was elected to manage the third act of the per formance which will probably be a short sketch the most import ant place in the troupe to be tilled is that of interlocutor after some discussion of spec ialties which might be used and an announcement that the time for the first chorus rehearsal would be posted the meeting adjourned it was learned later that the opera house could not be secured for saturday nov 5
