Thornton Academy Alumni Fund Drive Aims for Science Building
Thornton Academy launches a fund drive led by Henry L. LaVallee to raise support from alumni in 43 states with no stated goal. If successful, a seven room one story science building may be erected, freeing space as enrollment is expected to reach 1,000 within 10 years. Contributions may go to the science building or general fund and are tax deductible. The school has expanded over ten years with the Locke and Emery buildings, new classrooms, a cafeteria, offices, a language lab, home economics, and the Linell Gym opened this fall at a cost of 525000. The science building remains the board’s next target.
