Qblzafzm ol llw Class ol 1955 CLINTON RAY THOMPSON graduated from Bates College in 1913. President of his senior class. Ray was active in his school activities. was a football letter winner and a four year participant in track. Following his graduation, Ray taught and coached at the Moses Brown School. Tilton, New Hampshire and at Augusta. Maine. In 1924 he returned to Bates as an instructor in history and coach of freshman athletics and four years later became the head track coach. a position in which he has served admirably and wisely. During his coaching career. Coach Thompson has produced many winners. His two mile relay team was champion of America in the Pennsylvania Relays in 1928 and 1930, and this same team was vic- torious in the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association of America in 1930. His cross country teams in 1929 and 1930 were New Eng- land Champions as well as champions in the state of Maine. In 1928 one of his pupils. Arthur Sager won the Javelin in the Olympics, and Arnold G. Adams won the 1600 M. Relay in 1932. Anton Kishon was a national collegiate champion in the hammer throw in 1935. and his New England record of 154'l in the discuss still holds today. Russell Chapman won the IC-l-A championship in the 880 yard run in 1930 and is the only man to win this event four years in succession in the New Englands. Coach Thompson has had the pleasure of seeing sixteen of his men become individual New England champions in various events. The above illustrations are just a few of the many accomplishments achieved by Coach Thompson during his tenure at Bates. He has proven himself to be a fine coach, a trustworthy friend. and above all,- a man in every respect of the word. His cooperation has always been at a maximum. and no task was too big or too small for him to undertake. After thirty years of continued devotion and service to this institu- tion. the time has come for Coach Thompson to leave the Bates scene. as his retirement date has been reached. lt is indeed an honor to dedi- cate this 1955 edition of the Bates MIRROR to a deserving gentleman. C. Ray Thompson.
