This is the 1998 Cougar's Pride yearbook from the Curundu
Junior High School, located in Curundu in the old Panama
Canal Zone. This school was part of the Department of
Defense Dependent Schools (DoDDS) system before the American
Canal Zone was turned over to the country of Panama at the
end of 1999. This yearbook is hard cover and it has 142
pages. It is in new condition with no writing inside, but
the inside of the back cover has a Panama Canal Museum stock
number written in pen. A very rare yearbook. The students
from this school would not have graduated from the Balboa
High School because the DoDDS school system shut down on the
following year. This yearbook was part of the Panama Canal Museum
archives. When the museum closed down, I gave the museum a
large donation in exchange for some of their yearbooks. I
already have a copy of this yearbook in my personal
collection, so I am selling this copy to recover some of the
money from my donation. Many of the yearbooks from the Panama Canal Zone have
been digitized and are available as free downloadable JPGs
on the University
of Florida's archival website, but you cannot search the
text on graphics and reading jpegs on iBooks is not easy on
your eyes.. You can also purchase xerox copies of yearbooks
from Classmates.com for about $80, but it is much better to
purchase an original copy of this yearbook to keep in your
own collection.
