Annual book for the Colorado Training School for Nurses, titled "El Amigo", 1931. The book is 8" x 11", red colored leather and hardcover. The cover has a textured pattern on it similar to leaf veins, with a border that has leaf designs in the corners. The title is raised in a gold box, with a City and County of Denver seal and the year below it. Ella Mitze's name is written in ink with the year, "'31", in the lower right corner of the first inside page under a designated Ex Libris space.
The annual was the fourth volume of "El Amigo", and served as a sort of yearbook for the students, faculty, and staff of the Colorado Training School for Nurses. The book's owner, longtime Broomfield resident Ella Mitze, started her nursing education at the school in 1929. She was a senior in the three year program in 1931, graduating that year. The book contains many types of information about the school, including: pictures, information, poems, and stories about individual students and faculty; class information and pictures; sports pages; information on different parts of Denver General Hospital, where nursing students worked; achievement lists; jokes; and several written comments and autographs from students. Certain patients that Mitze cared for while training at Denver General Hospital also wrote comments on some of the pages.Collection
