Paly ~ Class of '61

Nort Thornton was a revered teacher and coach at Paly for 25 years, and his record is unmatched. His nationally ranked water-polo and swim teams held many league championships throughout the years. The water polo teams were league champions for 25 consecutive years, and undefeated from 1948-51. Join us in honoring this extraordinary man and his accomplishments.

"The high school experience is the mother lode of group memories. It's the imprint and paradigm because that's where our roots are; it was the site of our coming of age and where adult life started, where we found our first role models and maybe our first love." Dick Henning
