Lafayette History Rabbit Holes – Acalanes Radio Station KCEQ: 1947-1948 Acalanes Radio Club

August 18, 2021 2 Comments

The Acalanes Radio Club for the 1947-1948 school year can be found in the 1948 Acalanes Yearbook (Aklan).

Judging by the picture, this radio club seems to have been focused on the electrical engineering aspect of radio. It wouldn’t be surprising if these kids were, or were planning to become ham radio operators.

It’s humorous to see two of the other clubs listed on the same page with the Radio Club considering that what they were about–Music Appreciation and Public Speaking–would become vital later on when Acalanes students were running an FM radio station.

That’s all the information on this part that we have at the moment.  As with all these posts, please feel free to share information you might have.
