Cochran Bird Sanctuary Bobby Thompson Pond
-
This pond was made into a swimming hole in 1942 and was named for Robert Torrey Thompson, P. A. Class of 1936, who died in a training accident as a member of the Army Air Corps April 9, 1941. It was called the Bobby Thompson Pond and its sandy beach was constructed using sand from Crane's Beach in Ipswich. In 1955, a hot dry summer caused the school to stop pumping fresh water into the pond and it became contaminated and was closed to swimming. This view is taken from the stone bridge at the south end of the pond
