It is not a graduating class. The Pressburg Yeshivah was for almost 200 years the most prominent yeshiva Gedolah in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. As a way of training its students to be Rabbis it had Groups that sent its memebrs to nearby suburbs and towns to give Torah classes and lectures to its congregants. Its alumni were among the most famous and well known Rabbis in Hungary
The Hebrew across the top says:
The lecturers of the Tiferes Bachurim "Glory of Young Men Society, of the High Yeshivah of Pressburg,
last three words are abbreviations or acronyms that spell out "May God Protect them in the 5661 year since the world was created"
The Hungarian caption across the bottom says
Pozsonyi (Pressburg) PUBLIC RABBI-School Oratorical Society 5661 (1901)

NOTE: The Expression Tiferes bachurim -Glory of Young Men" is a quote from Mishlei -Proverbs 20:29.
