Adams Presents Good Food, Pool, Location Near to Yard

Adams House is a haven for all.

Material pleasures attract to the Gold Coast, every year gourmets, scholars jazz flends, and sleep lovers, who like to stay in bed until five minutes before their classes. Lover's of the a synthetic can enjoy the House's fine print collection and hundreds of classical recordings; athletes can paddle in the pool or batter the ball on Adams' private squash courts.

The only drawback to the House is its age and appearance.

Just a minute's walk from the Yard, Adams offers the finest food in the College. The fine food is appreciated most at lunch time, when the other Houses offer un-appolitzing meals.

Cool Water

When summer's balmy breezes blow, the cool waters of the swimming pool will be most inviting. Sunbathers can enjoy the sundecks on top of A and B entries.

While Adams' physical appearance and outmoded style indicates the disadvantages of age, its rooms are large and inexpensive, the plumbing is good, and C entry suites are among the newest in the College.

In an attempt to balance the large number of sophomores in the House, Adams will restrict its acceptances almost exclusively to freshmen this year. Many of the suites still open are triples, and if you are thinking of living with two other follows next year, take another look at Adams, because it has almost as many triples as all the other Houses put together.

The friendly personalities of Housemaster David M. Little '18, and his staff pervade Adams. The staff members do not eat with the students only in theory--but in practice as well.

Socially, Adams men are above par. They wear their share of dirty white shoes and striped ties, and drink brandy or sherry freely. The Houses's dignified yet comfortable atmosphere is well suited to impress a date, and the more darling socialites may test the parietal rules in one of the dozen entries without check in gates.

Comfortable Living

Studious men will find the library filled with texts, reference books, and fiction, French, German, economics, history, and pre-med scholars gather in the dining hall and common rooms periodically, to discuss their fields. In addition to a large and varied collection of classical records, the House boasts, more than $800 worth of jazz discs.

The television set in the upper common room, two grand pianos, a music room for playing records, a complete darkroom, a wobbly ping-pong table, and comfortable lounges make for gradious and enjoyable living.

Divided into two, sections, one problem of the House is its lack of unity. The Gold Coasters also miss the attractive countryards of the Houses down and near the Charles.
