J K Dedication IN token of the esteem and the appreciation, of the friendship and the love with which the North High School holds him, this Annual is dedicated to Edward L. Brown. Mr. Brown began his services in North High School as a teacher of mathematics in 1898 and was advanced to the principalship in 1900. In this position he direct- ed the work of the school until the summer of 192.4 when he was called to the assistant superintendency of the Denver Public Schools and placed in immediate charge of all the junior and senior high schools of the city. In 1900 North High was a school of five hundred pupils and had a faculty numbering sixteen teachers. The curriculum included sixty-eight different courses. In 1914 the young people numbered eighteen hundred, the faculty eighty, and one hundred and eleven courses were offered. Under Mr. Brown's administrative enius the in- stitution has grown in complexity ant? efficiency of organization and in the quality of instruction offered. The high estimate in which the school is held by insti- tutions of higher learning, by educators and by the patrons of the public schools, has come as a result of his keen analysis of educational problems and his in- sight into the needs of young people and through the standards which he has initiated and maintained. Successive student bodies and a growing faculty have alike recognized and respected the ability of the man to whom credit is due for the development of North High School, an institution outstanding among the high schools of the West. To pupils as well as to faculty it has been a privilege to be associated with Edward L. Brown. N F 6
