In the 1960 Mirada…

Cover of the 1960 Mirada

we find that there was an Electronics Club during the 1959-1960 school year.

The activities pursued by the Electronics Club during the year included visiting the FM radio station KJAZ, making a school television system, building a two meter transceiver, and listening to lectures on electronics. The officers were Mickey Wilber, President; Marty Mieger, Vice President; Tom Hutton, Secretary; and Dave Stillson, Treasurer. The advisor was F.R. Davis.

The members are listed as follows:

Chuck Dana
Tom Hutton
Martin S. Meiger
Stephen V. Cantrill
Ken White
Brian Traynor
Michael B. Wilbur
David H. Stillson
Ron Parks
Richard J. Harrington

In the senior section there are a couple of other people who are listed as having been in the club this year:

Russell Briggs
Richard Williams

Their advisor was F.R. Davis

We couldn’t find an amateur radio call book online that covered any part of the 1959-1960 school year.

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.
