l - NNE Mr. George Wright Mr. Wright, the eleventh headmaster of Thompson Academy, concludes his third year in office this Spring. ln 1970 he was promoted from Director of Studies and succeeded Mr. Dibble as headmaster. Halfway through his first year as headmaster, the Main Building fire destroyed a major part of the school's records, the office complex, staff living quarters, and almost all of the existing classrooms. Mr. Wright was confronted with the difficult task of rebuilding facilities and restoring a system which he had taken control of just a few months earlier. February 1971 will not be easily forgotton, and neither will Mr. Wright be forgotton for his dedication to the school, for his energy in rebuilding it, and for his unwavering belief in its purpose-the guidance and development of young men.
