For six long years members of the Board of Trustees of Norton Community High School worked on the building program. Their interest in youth and public affairs, their time, foresight, and good judgment provided us our modern, well-equipped school and we deeply appreciate it. The responsibility for the building project has fallen on the shoulders of members of the Board of Trustees from 1949-1955. It is to these board members we dedicate The Bluejay of 1955. 4
