Overview
S. B. Norton obtained the old Van Eps homestead, which as of 2021 is the American Legion, and turned it into this school. According to Pioneers of Vernon, "Boarding pupils were limited to fifteen, and fifteen day students could, also, be instructed. Daily exercises in the fresh air were required. Sweets and pastries were frowned upon. The girls were carefully taught and strictly supervised in manners and morals. The cost was $200 per year, music and painting being extras."
