In the 1959 El Caballero…
we find that there was an Electronics Club during the 1958-1959 school year.
The members are listed as follows:
Dale Bodtker
Jack L. Du Bois
Douglas Hauge
John E. Barber
Alan R. Sherwood
David W. Edwards
Robert A. Fink
Tom A. Nichols
Bob Marliave
It doesn’t give the name of their faculty advisor. However, Eugene Melville is still listed as teaching “Industrial Arts”.
It’s likely he was still their faculty advisor.
If we look at the Summer 1958 and Spring 1959 amateur radio call books, then we find a listing for the Las Lomas Electronics Club that corresponds to the entry in the yearbook.
Summer 1958 amateur call book
The entry states the following:
Las Lomas Electronics Club, Las Lomas High School, Danville Highway, Walnut Creek,
Spring 1959 amateur call book
The entry states the following:
Las Lomas Electronics Club, Las Lomas High School, Danville HWY, Walnut Creek
That’s all the information on this part that we have at the moment. As with all these posts, please feel free to share any information you might have.
