FIFTH ANNUAL REUNION You are cordially invited to attend the Fifth Annual Reunion of the Cushman Indian School, now known as the Tacoma Hospital, Tacoma, Washington, on June 24, 1933. For the past four years the former students and their friends have gathered at Tacoma to attend this annual event. Everyone looks forward to this Reunion. Many of the employees and parents of the students here were former students of the Tacoma school. During the past years baseball games have been the outstanding attraction of the day. Then, too, sports of all kinds are featured. Races and contests are held for both young and old, with prizes for the winners. Free luncheon is served and there is a dance in the evening. We hope to have a bigger and better time this year, and sincerely hope the students will inform their folks of this event and bring them to Tacoma to have a grand time. 1933 GRADUATES Howard Abbott, Vocation and High School Simeon Bean, Vocation and High School Harold Berys, Vocation and High School Oscar Braden, Vocation and High School Howard Churchill, Vocation and High School Leo Cottenoir, Vocation and High School Melvin Davis, Vocation and High School William Demmert, Vocation and High School Frank Dumont, Vocation and High School Kenneth Galbreath, Vocation and High Scnool George Goujon, Vocation and High School Leroy Grenier, Vocation and High School Andrew Hatfield, Vocation and High School Lawrence Horn, Vocation and High School Raymond Ignace, Vocation and High School Ben lyall, Vocation and High School Leonard John, Vocation and High School Wesley Larsen, Vocation and High School Peter Levay, Vocation and High School Fred Motschman, Vocation and High School Mark Renter, Vocation and High School Chester Pepion, Vocation and High School George Pepion, Vocation and High School Andrew Peterson, Vocation and High School Louis Randell, Vocation and High School Robert Thomas, High School Louis Pitt, Vocation and High School Vincent Pratt, Vocation and High School Carl Whitman, Vocation and High School Terrance Courtney, Vocation and High School Charles Huber, Vocation Charles De Poe, Vocation Jessie Jim, Vocation Janies Kelly, Vocation Alex LaFromboise, Vocation Eustace Markishtum, Vocation Arnold McKay, Vocation Peter Paquette, Vocation John Peltier, Vocation Eddie Nanpooya, Vocation Andrew Desautel, Vocation Violet Adams, Vocation and High School Melba Arnoux, Vocation and High School Zona Afraid-of-Horses, High School Lillian Billy, Vocation and High School Lucy Billy, Vocation and High School Emma Celestine, Vocation and High School Alleta Good bird, Vocation and High School Alma Hatch, Vocation and High School Esther Hillman, Vocation and High School Elizabeth Ides, Vocation and High School Nina Jack, High School Alice Jones, Vocation and High School Frances Jones, Vocation and High School Alice Ladderoute, Vocation and High School Dora LaFrance, Vocation and High School Marie LaFrance, Vocation and High School Lena Louie, Vocation and High School Luella Moore, Vocation and High School Caroline Parker, Vocation and High School Sophia Powakee, Vocation and High School Gertie Queahpama, Vocation and High School Nancy Reynolds, Vocation and High School Margaret Sampson, Vocation and High School Alice Slater, Vocation and High School Mildred Smith, Vocation and High School Gertrude Thomas, High School Edna Wesley, Vocation and High School Anna White, Vocation and High School Oma Woodcock, High School Elsie Bartow, Vocation Alice Clairmont, Vocation Mae DeCelles, Vocation Lydia Pepion, Vocation Ethel Proctor, Vocation P age 3
