the Chicago Business College of Ham
nand at the fourth annual commence
ment at the Methodist church last
night 1t was probably the best If not
the largest class that school has ever
turned out. The strong and impressive
address to the students and their
friends by Judge V. S. Reiter in which
he made an eloquent appeal for the
aesthetic in the buisenss world was the
feature OF the evening. The key note
of his address was that there is some
thing by far more desirable than dol
lars and cents in life for the young per-
son who enters the buisenss world.
Enjoy a Good Program.
The opening number was an overture
by the high school orchestra under the
direction of Prof. Clark Learning. The
invocation was said by the Rev w. F.
Switzer of the Methodist church. F. B.
Virden. president of the college, de-
livered the address of welcome, after
which followed a vocal selection by the
Calumet Octette. Miss Lillian Spaf-
ford sang a solo which was followed
by Judge Refers splendid address. The
high school orchestra rendered another
selection after which Mrs. virden pre-
scented the diplomas. For a closing
number the Calumet Octette and the
audience sang America after which the
Rev F. NJ Elliott pronounced the bene-
diction
No little of the success of the school
is due to the untiring efforts of the
