Class History The year 1961 marks the first graduating class that has gone through the four year curriculum since the name Farm and Trades School was changed to Thompson Academy in 1956. As a class We feel proud to be this class and hope that our memory is perpetuated on through the classes to follow. As Freshmen we elected Larry Matson President, Carleton Hill Vice President, and Harold Hanna Secretary-Treasurer. As Sophomores We elected Vlfilliam Poulack President, Carleton Hill Vice Presi- dent, George Sayer Treasurer, and Thomas Parker Secretary. As Juniors We elected Thomas Parker President, Jerry King Vice President, and Robert Hanes Secretary-Treasurer. Harold Hanna and Larry Matson were chosen Stu- dent Council representatives. It was in this year that the Beatnik Dance, the Christmas Auction, and the Fall Hayride were sponsored by the Junior class. The class also made a substantial contribution toward the purchase of the score clock in the Alumni Cym- nasium. Members of the class participated in all events and were active in Varsity ath- letics. As Seniors we elected Thomas Parker President, Larry Matson Vice President, Harold Hanna Treasurer, and Robert Hanes Secretary. Harold Hanna was chosen Student Council President and Michael Veglas was the senior Student Council repre- sentative. The class sponsored the Columbus Day Auction, the Senior Class Auction, and the Senior Prom. The class achieved a very high academic standing, participated in Varsity athletics, and was active in non-athletic activities. services were held on June 4 and Graduation exercises were held on J une 10. Thomas Parker was Valedictorian and Harold Hanna was Salutatorian. Baccalaureate Respectfully submitted, R. Goodman Hanes, Secretary Class of 1961 E
