Fifth Leaf - Presents the 1970 CHS Memory Book
CHS Memory Book
The CHS MB is inside the PDF files listed below. Once you download a file you can view it with a PDF viewer or reader. All photos are in high resolution except the newspaper clippings. Since the photos are in high resolution you can zoom or expand a photo to get a better view without the image being distorted or fuzzy.
Content of the Memory Book
The Memory Book is divided into sections because there is a limit to the size of the files we can edit and create and which can be downloaded. Also, MS Windows limited the size of what we could produce in our desktop software. Believe it or not, we could only work on 3 GB at a time. The PDF files are much smaller but the program and OS use a lot of memory to produce those PDF files.
If you didn't graduate close to 1970 or you are not a CHS classmate most of the files won't interest you. However, the History and the Stories should be interesting and captivating.
History of Caldwell Idaho
There are 5 and soon to be 6 sections about the History in this MB about and around Caldwell Idaho:
1) Memories of the 1970s that include the more popular Record Albums, Books, Cars, Fashion, Movies, Products, Television, and News.
2) 1970's history, some Ads, and newspaper clippings.
3) Notable CHS Graduates. Talks about the origin of Caldwell. Sometime between 1940 - 1952, Sam S Foote gave one or more speeches, and his speech is included with some photos in this section.
4) Continuation of Caldwell's History. Caldwell Time Line, and some local newspaper clippings.
5) Photos and explanations of Caldwell from 1867 through 1928. Did you know that Indian Creek flooded Caldwell a couple of times?
6) Not ready at this time but will be another speech given by Elizabeth Corn who was related to Sam S Foote and spent several years researching Caldwell. I hope soon to find the time to create this History Section about Bug Town.
Photos Only Sections
The files named Class Photos, Extracurricular, Reunions, and Teachers and Staff only have photos. The Class Photo and Reunion sections are incomplete. At some time, I hope people who physically have photos not in these sections will send me high-resolution scanned copies and I will add them. Please don't send your photos only send high-resolution scans of the photos. The Class Photo section is missing the most, so if you can help I'm certain everyone will appreciate it.
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me with names in the Class and Reunion photos to identify as many classmates as possible. I only recognize a few, so if you want to help, please contact me.
Stories and Jokes
The stories are written by our classmates and as far as I know, were real. The jokes come from many different sources and are there for your enjoyment.
Classmates Section
This section includes every classmate who graduated in 1970. There were several people who helped with the MB and are noted in the Special Thanks file. Several classmates greatly helped in getting information from classmates, doing research, looking through newspapers, finding obituaries, and contacting everyone. Countless hours were spent on this MB.
Each classmate has their 1970 photo in their section, except for several who didn't get their photo taken or added to any of the High School Yearbooks. We tried to contact everyone, but many either did not respond or we couldn't contact them. The best part is from those classmates who responded with their personal history after graduation, memories while in CHS, or some who included both. The stories from the classmates who submitted something are excellent and are worth reading a couple of times.
Deceased classmates have obituaries if we could find one. If you have an obituary not in this section, want to talk about a classmate, or want to add something to their obituary, please contact me. I am very sad we could not find obituaries for many classmates and I'm depressed when we have an obituary of less than a paragraph talking about someone's entire life. If you can help, please do.
If you want to add your story or memory or want to update your section please contact me and I will add what you want. Please send photos with whatever you send and please add captions to those photos.

The files below have a name followed by a month and year date. If you have not downloaded a file, please do. If you have downloaded a file in the past you can look at the date behind the name to determine if you have the latest file. If your file is older than any of these you see below, you should download the new updated file. For example: if you downloaded a file with the 4-21 date, this means the file was made in April of 2021. If the same named file here is dated 9-24, you should download this latest September 2024 file. If you have any questions about this MB or are having trouble downloading a file, please contact me.
