Scope and content
A group of unidentified former Vashon College students gathered on August 7, 1938 beside an unidentified wooden building for a school reunion photograph. The Burton Garage and Shell Station and a church steeple are in background. The community of Burton grew up around the college that was founded there in 1892. The school provided a co-educational, Christian environment for study, without all the distractions of city life. It closed in 1912 when the main building burned to the ground and it never reopened.
