Professor Davis' Commencement. One of the items missed by Altoona's busy newsgatherers was the commencement of the Altoona Business College on the day before Christmas eve, but it will not spoil by reason of time. There were no formal exercises further than an address by Professor Davis to the class, and the presentation to them of their diplomas, which were very fine works of art executed with the pen. The graduating class consisted of twelve members, as follows: Elmer M. Thomas, Lincoln Loudon, Morrison J. Reeder, of Sharon, Pa., Miss Emma Heess, Murray W. Ermine, of Tipton, Pa.; Fountain E. Brown, of Lock Haven; Sigmund Altman, Dennis Cronin, Frank Schum, Augustine McClain, J. Ruda Fink, and Charles H. Behm. Messrs. Thomas and Loudon graduated about even at the head of their class and attained great proficiency under their instructor. The school starts out again with every prospect of increased success.
