ATHLETICS 1 Athletics play a large role in the life of a Thompson Academy student. During any one of the sports seasons more than 500A-, of the student body can be found competing on an interscholastic varsity level. Though small is numbers, we have always held our own against schools four and five times our size. We are the smallest school in New England to field an eleven man varsity level football team. Although this was not one of our banner years for victory, a proud sports tradition will end with the closing of the program in June of 1975. The Fall was a struggle in football and soccer, but the Winter improved with hockey and the basketball team won the second division Class D in the Bay State Tournament. The Spring looks even brighter with the return of a veteran baseball team. ln this small space we would like to honor our captains, Brian Feeney, Doug Marr, and Jon King in football, Dave Rose and Wayne Gerrish in Soccer, John Nee and Steve Scott in Varsity Basketball, Tim Buckley and Wally Logue in JV Basketball, and Larry Bavis in Baseball. We would also like to thank our coaches John Robinson, Dave Handy, Bill Peck, John Quinn, John lnjun Horan, Doug Paige, Alan Willis and Bob Sullivan for jobs well done. . A special thanks goes out to Bay Thomas who started our-athletic program 45 years ago, and who served as Athletic Director for the first 42 years. Thank you, Mr. T. I 'glifvm 9- it w .
