This is the 1970 Caribbean yearbook from Cristobal High
School, located on the Atlantic side of the isthmus of the
Panama Canal Zone in the town of Coco Solo. The contents
include faculty and student activities for grades 7 through
12. The end of the yearbook has lots of cool advertisements
from familiar places in Colon and on the Atlantic side of
the former Panama Canal Zone. Go Tigers! This yearbook was part of the Panama Canal Museum
archives. When the museum closed, 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. This copy does not have any writing on the pages,
but there is water damage on the bottom of most pages,
especially in the front. Almost all of the information is
present and readable except for on a few pages when the
water damage occured. If you do not have a copy of this
yearbook, it is still worth getting as a reference. 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.
