Class of 1887

Mrs. Charles L. Carpenter returned from her European trip just before Christmas. Rev. W. P. Hardy came East in September on account of the fatal illness of a sister. He visited his brother at the old home in Nelson, N. H.

Conditions on the Nebraska cattle ranges are reflected in a letter from Chamberlain's wife, who writes: "Cattle prices arelower than in 42 years. Most of the cattleand land are mortgaged to full value. Wehave just sold 40 calves at $20 a head; threeyears ago the price was $55. Dressed hogssell for five cents a pound, chickens eightcents, turkeys ten cents, and no demand."

Mrs. Wallace writes: "Priscilla Barker,only daughter of Rev. and Mrs. JohnBarker of Lebanon, N. H., and James H.Wallace were married in New York, July9, 1932." Those who met Mr. Wallace five years ago and again last June will wish to extend hearty congratulations to the young couple.

The Sanborns are expected at Ormond Beach, Fla., in March.

Word comes that Shelton suffered the loss of his wife, Mary A. E. Shelton, which occurred November 9, 1932. By correspondence the Secretary had come to regard Mrs. Shelton as a bright and interested member of the '87 family.

In December the Secretary called on Hill, Quackenboss, Gage, and Cushman, and talked over the telephone with Sanborn and Bacon. The last named had resumed in part his duties at the Tufts Engineering School. In Tampa there was a pleasant hour with Carl Henry, who is interested in a Bible Institute recently established near Tampa.

The following is the poem by W. S. Ross that was read at the recent reunion of the class:
