Elaine Cutler High

So many things have happened in my life the past 10 years. I married my high school sweetheart, Steven High. We moved out on Merkley Land and bought a trailer. Steven was working for Kraft good and I was busy being a homemaker. The next year we had our first child, a son, and we named him Mark Steven.
We had only been married a year and a half when Steven (he was 20 at the time) was struck by a 3-switch engines going 55 mph on his way to work. He was dragged down the track and the card was completely demolished.. His condition was very critical and I nearly lost him. He remained in the hospital unconscious for five long weeks with a severe brain concussion, a broken leg, and many other bad injuries. He finally recovered and a year later went back to work. Needless to say, I did a great deal of growing up. Because we had no insurance of any kind, we have had to work very hard.
In September of 1970, we went to the Idaho Falls Temple and were sealed as a family. Since then, I have worked as a secretary in most of the different organizations and have taught Primary, Sunday School and Relief Society. I also have been a Volleyball coach and now I am the Sunday School, Primary, and Night Relief Society choristers. I am very busy but enjoy it.
On November 1, 1971, our 2nd song was born. We name him Eric Layne. Steven was now working at the State Hospital and going to school. I babysat children to help out. We were finally able to buy a home and so in October of 1974, we moved to North Shillings here in town. In February of 1976, we finally got our baby daughter. We named her Rachelle. We were very pleased because it is not easy for me to have children. I am extremely ill the entire time. I enjoy my children very much. They are the highlight of my life. I am kept very busy with baseball games, cub scouts, swimming lessons, helping with the nightcrawler business, etc., etc.
In 1977-78, I went back to work at the Blackfoot Head Start program and worked four hours during the mornings. I ten came home and did babysitting for other ladies. I bought myself a piano and now my son and I are taking lessons together. WE both enjoy singing and music is special for us. I love sports of all kinds and I am really getting into racquetball. I also grow lots of plants. I garden, I sew a lot, macram�, quilt and do all those domestic things homemakers do. Steven has worked midnights for seven years now and so I like keeping busy. He is now working at B.E. in Pocatello. All in all, its been a very active ten years and I have grown so and learned a lot. I am grateful for my loving husband and three children and I am looking forward to seeing all of you again.
After graduation I married Steven High and the next year we had our first child, Mark Steven. On Friday January 13, 1970, Steven was hit by a train and nearly killed; he was in a coal and suffered many injuries. U gad hyst turned 20. He had a long recovery and was out of work for a long, long time. I was active in the LDS Church and held many positions. We moved to North Shillings and how our 2nd son, Eric, and a daughter, Rachelle and later our 3rd son, Craig. Our daughter Rachelle married Joe Ferrin, the son of Lois Haynes and Jim Ferrin. All my kids are doing well and turned out to be responsible adults.
In 1987 I became single, worked and raised the kids. I went to ISU from 1992-1996 and graduated with a degree in business management. All of my family were cheering for me as I walked across the stage. I studied hard and got all "A's" 2 "B's" and was on the Dean's List six semesters. I bought a home in Blackfoot and have worked various places. I have 6 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. I fell off a tall ladder in 2001 and cursed a disc in my lower back. I had back surgery but I still have problems.
I am busy finding all of our classmates for our reunion and helping my 88 year old mother. This summer my mother will be going to Utah to celebrate Annette Lowe's mother's 100 birthday. Wow!

2008-2023
Here we are at our 55th class reunion. That makes us 73 years old! Wow!
For the past 15 years it's really been a struggle. My four children have moved away and they are very successful. They are in four different states: Oregon, Washington, Utah and Idaho. I moved out in the country 14 years ago. I am between Moreland, the Post Office and Snake River High School. My house is very lard, 3800 sq. feet and about an acre of yard and lawn and the orchard. It is now too much work for me. I am single with my family gone. It is tough. In 2019 I had a house fire and it was a nightmare. My 99 year old mother died and the next day I had the fire. I was out of my home for a long time. Sixteen months later
I got my furniture and some possessions back. It has taken years to try to make this home back to normal. I am still going through boxes etc.
Someday I will have to move, but I do not know where. I am active in the church and keep busy with house and yard. I would like to find friends to go places with and have fun.
Everyone has children and grandchildren living close by. I have 10 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. I am buying a car so I can travel to see them.
It was wonderful to see all of you. I had an accident on July 2nd and cracked a lot of ribs. Ouch! I am so glad I could come to the reunion. High School for me was so fun and the happiest time of my life. I hope to see all of you in five years.
I have kept a daily journal since January 1, 1970.and am currently writing my life story.
