Brown, at the age of ninety-two. In 1896 Miss Brown joined the teaching staff at Trafalgar, and taught here for thirty-one years until she retired in 1927. After her retirement, she continued to take an active interest in the life of the School, and was a regular visitor at all School functions until a very few years ago. She was an authority on the history of the School, and for the fiftieth anniversary in 1937 she wrote an account of it for Echoes . Miss Brown was always affectionately remembered by those whom she had taught, and when the Junior Library was established in 1958, it was named in her honour. Since her death, several of her friends and former pupils have sent donations to the Library in memory of her. Tliese include: Miss Ejlizabetli (Cameron, Dr. Archibald ( ' amcron, Dr. and Mrs. E. M. (jawlord, IMrs. G. Hanson Davidson, Miss Slwvila McFarhun , Mrs. Martha I ' owell, Miss A. L. Shaw, Miss H. A. Shaw, and Miss Kiilli Whitley. I 0 J
