Paquette ACTIVES AN ACTIVITIE Adelphic Alpha Pi began its ninety-seventh year with ten returning active members, electing Robert Waddell as speaker. The spring term saw the leader- ship shift to Richard Powell. During the past season the Adelphics made several changes and improvements on their house by the addition of new furniture and carpeting, redecoration of much of the interior, repainting of the exterior, and heautifying of the grounds. A house mother, Marguerite Dowker, installed during the spring term, was an important addition to the organization. Adelphic held many social events, among them the Annual Valentine's Dance at which Miss Carla Hudson of Grand Rapids was elected Adelphic Sweetheart. The Ad-Dad Banquet was among the more prominent spring activities. Members, of course took part in the Inter-Society Dance. All of Adelphic's members, past and present, can look back on this academic year with a true feeling of accomplishment over tribulation. Page 21

ADELPHIC ALPHA Pl HI TGRY On December 15, 1862, a literary society was organized under the name of the Clever Fellows, during which time they occupied one of the rooms in Colonial Hall, but in October of 1864, they moved into a room in the newly completed Ladies Hall. They then moved into a suite of rooms on the fourth Floor of Parsons Hall. In the autumn of 1865, the group changed its name to Ade1phic and took Semper Fide1is as its motto, In May of 1870, the society was incorporated and its members made their first plans toward building an Adelphic residence. To this end it was decided to reorganize the govern- ing arm after the pattern of Congress, with the resident members as the House, ' and all alumni as the Se- nate. In 1889, work was begun on build- ing the Adelphic Hall, which was form ally christened on June 18, 1890. The building is of broken field stone in natu- ral outline, The main auditorium is finished in antique oak and lighted with four large stained glass windows. The ceiling of red-paneled oak is fifteen feet high at the walls and twenty-four feet high at its zenith. Circular re- ception rooms open onto the auditorium from the first and second floors and add to the capacity of the building.
