Tribune, Ernie Knight.After the Second World War, many retuning soldiers from Tacoma/Pierce County took advantage of the GI Bill to return to school. This is the fifth graduating class at Tacoma Vocational School. 123 students received their apprentice certificates at Tacoma Vocational School June 3, 1949. Speeches were given by L.H. Bates, director of the school, and Superior Judge Hugh J. Rosellini, the guest speaker. The school was renamed in honor of L. H. "Vern" Bates in 1969. (TNT, 6/5/1949, p.A-4)
