Scope and Content

A yearbook from North High School in Denver, "The Viking," that belonged to Broomfield resident Ella Mitze, 1926. The book is 7.5" x 11", hardcover. The cover has a textured, raised image of two mythological figures molded or stamped onto it, one of them likely the hero Aeneas; the figure on the left has a staff and olive branch, wearing robes, while the one on the right has armor and what appears to be a lute or harp. The theme of the yearbook is the mythological story from the Latin poem the Aeneid, which many portions of the book compare to North High students' experiences. Several images in the book also pertain to this theme, including a "Shield of Aeneas" picture in the inside cover. Ella Mitze's name is inscribed in pen just above this image. The yearbook is divided into several sections across 151 pages, including class and student pictures, school clubs, athletics, alumni, faculty, and honor roll. Many students have signed and written comments on blank pages near the front and back of the book for Mitze, as well as on certain pages throughout the book. In 1926, Mitze was a sophomore at North High, having previously attended the Loraine School in Broomfield and Skinner Middle School in Denver. Since Broomfield had no high school at the time, Mitze had to attend North High for her education in Denver.
