other Metropolitan News.

Mr.. Vic Herman, the well-known pho
tographer, has been notified that his ex-
hibition at the recent photographers
convention at Milwaukee carried of sec
ond honors in Class C. Mr.. Herman's
exhibit contained twelve cabinet photo
graphs and was given rating OF 80 per
cent in that class. The work was given
22h per cent on lighting, 22h per cent on
posing, % per cent on chemi al effect and
% per cent on composition. At the con-
yention work from the entire State OF
Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula OF
Michigan was in the competition and the
best photographers in this district were
represented. This speaks very highly for
Mr.. Herman and for Calumet. Mr.. Her
man expects his diploma in the course OF
a week or 80. The first honors in the
same class and the only one which was
considered superior to Mr.. Herman's was
by Ii. s Willer, OF Fond du Lac. The
judges in this convention were well
known photographers who have made
the profession life study and hence their
appreciation Is considered OF great value.
