From the class of 1883, Great Falls High School (now Somersworth, N. H.), three members entered 'B7, Richard Eastman, C. C. Gardner, and W. S. Ross.

The proceeds of that term were placed at interest, and a part of it resulted in this gift. W. S. Ross sent a poem, "After Fifty Years," which was read at the reunion and later published in the Somersworth Free Press.
