Eleven of the twelve living members of the class are in the photo. They are all dressed in suits, and have a badge or ribbon on their jackets. Most of them are holding hats. The men are identified below the photo. "Front row- left to right- Robert W. Lyman of Northampton, W.D. Russell, New York City, William P. Birnie of Springfield, Gideon H. Allen of New Bedford. Rear row- Edgar E. Thompson of West Midway, W.M.[sic] Tucker of Monson, William Wheeler of Concord, Loring Crocker of Boston, E.B. Snead [sic] of Greenfield, George Leonard of Springfield, J.F. Fisher of Fitchburg." (There is no mention of Loring Crocker in either the General Catalogue or the Index. It is uncertain whether he was a member of that class, or whether this is a misprint by the newspaper.)
