3« Hlemoriam OF NORMAN R07 THOMPSON The Senior Class of 1954 wishes, by presenting this page in the memory of Norman Roy Thompson, that his personage shall not depart from the hearts of all those who knew him. This trophy, purchased by the lettermen's club, his classmates, and his innumerable friends will be presented each year to an R.V.L. student who has shown high standards of sportsmanship such as those displayed by Norman when he participated as a member of the Cambridge athletic teams. Each R.V.L. town shall have four votes - the school superintendent, the school coach, the athletes, and a committee of three local townsmen. No town may vote for a local athlete. The winner will receive a medal and the trophy will remain at his respective school for a designated period of time when it is then returned to Cambridge. This award symbolizes good sportsmanship in athletic relationships and is intended to encourage the development of the high standards of sportsmanship be- tween R.V.L. teams, which was symbolic of “Tommy”.
