said:
Though in the twenty-three years
that this college has been afording ed
ueations to the boys and girls of Ke-
nosha, we have tonight the smallest
class of graduates, we have also the
most efficient class ever graduated from
the college.
For the efficient boy or girl, fred
with ambition and willing to work there
are every day plenty Of chances open
whereby to make start on the road
that leads to success. At least thirteen
of the students to be graduated tonight,
already have positions in the large fac
tories and other business concerns of
Kenosha and several more have posi-
tions in view
"Of the five boys tolreceive diplomas
tonight, each one is ready to go out into
the world determined to "Dig,' not SO
much for the dollar at first, but for the
knowledge and experience that at this
stage are of more value than money!

vile College, who came to Kenosha
especially to attend the exercises, spoke
on Zone Big"
Leaving college, = he said to the
students, lis but the beginning in your
start of life's battle, the winning of

and it pays, pays in more ways than
just in money
