Admiral Thompson is a graduate of the Mass. Nautical School, Class of 1912, after which he spent 5 years in the Lighthouse Service and one year with the New York to Puerto Rico Line and the Savannah Line. During the First World War he served with the U. S. Army mineplanters. Following the war, Admiral Thompson returned to the Schoolship as Navigator where he remained until 1925. After a ten year separation he returned to the Nan- tucket as Navigator, retaining that position until 1941 when the Mass. Nautical School became the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and the Academy was relocated in Hy- annis, Mass. At this time Admiral Thompson became Executive Officer of the training ship. In 1948 he became Commanding Officer and in 1959 he was promoted to Super- intendent, a position which he held until his retirement in 1963. As we look back over our three years at the Academy it seems that our association with Admiral Thompso ' n was a brief one but during this period he has displayed an at- titude toward the midshipmen which was taut but at the same time understanding. By his concern for the welfare of the Midshipmen, Admiral Thompson will be remem- bered and with him go our best wishes and a sincere, thank you. 26
