Broomfield Lounge The new lounge was made possible by a S5,000 annuity fund left by BishOP and Mrs. louis Broomfield.. Bishop Broomfield was a former student at Adrian College in the class of 1896. He received an honorary LL.D. degree from Adrtdll in 1939. The new structure is of brick in keeping with its two connecting bulld- ings. This new lobby connecting Metcalf and South Hall serves as a IGCIGCIUOH room, lounge, and hall. Here tables are set up for students who wish to PlUY games. Other students may prefer sitting around on the new furniture discussing events of the day and future plans, or reading. Smoking is permitted in the lounqe during the winter months. When the weather is warm the deck, west Of the lounge, is reserved for smokers. A Pictured above are tl. to r.l Bill Waara, Lorraine Schultz. Bill Lewis.
