“The Not-So-Silent Generation,” The Wall Street Journal (May 13, 1977) “My particular little branch of the silent generation—the Yale class of 1952—has just been heard from. And the message that comes through from that small contingent of middle-aged males is a surprise.”

Beyond Our Means (1987)

Within Our Means (1991)

Lost Prophets (1994)

Thomas W. Norton
Yale 1952

Tom enjoyed a satisfying career as a physics instructor at Linton High School, Schenectady, New York before retiring last year. During the summers he attended NSF institutes, including ten years as a research associate with the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center, State University of New York at Albany. His students respected him as a scientist and a science teacher. Tom was a pioneer in the use of movies and computers in the classroom as well as using weather satellite views in earth science.

In 1984, Tom was one of five finalists for New York State in NASA'S Teacher In Space Program. He enjoyed sharing the application process with his students, incorporating some of their ideas, and practicing in front of them for the final TV interviews.

Solar Energy Experiments for High School and College Students (1977 Rodale Press) This includes eighteen self-explanatory solar energy experiments and classroom activities suitable for individual student analysis. They were developed over several years in response to the 1973 energy crisis. If Tom had been selected by NASA to go in space he would have expanded these experiments and had the world as his classroom!
