1. There are a lot of talented and socially conscious people who make interesting conversation. Our house has great rooms and a cozy library. Our house has a lot of facilities, such as an indoor pool, and the Bow and Arrow Press--a working printing press which students can use for posters and invitations.

2. There is little "Adams House spirit," and too many "interhousers" come to lunch. Unfortunately there are many cockroaches in areas of the house. Sometimes people complain of noise from the Lampoon's loud parties.

3. There is the Adams House Raft Race, which beginning this year will be co-sponsored by the Undergraduate Council. Also, each fall the house has an interesting Halloween dance, and every spring we have a traditional waltz.

4. There are two separate lotteries--one for rising seniors, and afterwards one for juniors. Rooming groups' lottery numbers are drawn out of a hat, and groups can select from among all the available rooms starting April 23. Sophomores are assigned rooms over the summer.

5. On April 25, there will be a welcoming reception in Randolph Court.

6. In our estimation, there is no justifiable stereotypical Adams House student.

7. Master Kiely holds teas every other week in his study in Apthorp House. He and his wife, Jana, are often available for meals and appointments. Both are very concerned with the quality of life at Adams and are very willing to help out the House Committee when we need them.
