Here is the card of Mildred Elizabeth Shorb. I think that even today graduating seniors still hand out these cards with their names on them. These cards were shared with other graduates, teachers, family members, and friends. This practice began in the 1800s when people would carry cards and deposit them in a basket or on a table at the entrance to the home as a souvenir of their visit. You can find albums full of this type of card people would keep from graduations or their guests' visits.
