Entry for the 1972-1973 Campolindo Electronics Club in the Winter 1972-1973 amateur radio call book

In the 1973 Compañero… we do not find an entry for the 1972-1973 Electronics Club. We do find an entry for the Campolindo TV show in the yearbook. A new program initiated at Campolindo is the video tape program lead by the dauntless efforts of Mr. Carl Shanahorn. In addition Campolindo began a new season […]

In the 1973 Aklan… we do not find an entry for the 1972-1973 Acalanes Radio Club. We do find an entry for the Acalanes TV show in the yearbook. Reporting the activities at school, the Acalanes Review was a new and well-received activity this year. After establishing a studio in Moraga during October, a representative […]

Cover of the Winter 1971-1972 amateur radio call book

At the moment, we do not have access to the 1972 Mirada. There are amateur radio call books that cover the 1971-1972 school year, but this is the last school year we find an amateur radio station at Miramonte. They had quite a run. We first spotted them in the Summer 1958 amateur radio call […]

In the 1971 Mirada… we find that there was an Electronics Club during the 1970-1971 school year. Every other week, fifteen interested boys meet in X-1 to learn more about electronics and work on projects such as ham radios, laser beams, and computers. They have also visited many electronics firms in the Bay Area. As […]

Cover of the Fall 1971 amateur radio call book

This is the first school year where we could find amateur radio call books that show when Acalanes got their own amateur radio station. It may have been the previous year, but there weren’t any amateur radio call books covering that school year. Their call letters were WA6AAG. After Las Lomas had the first amateur […]

In the 1971 Aklan, we don’t find entries for the Acalanes Radio Club. However, when you look at the 1972 Aklan… and go to the senior section, then you find three students who are listed as having been in the Acalanes Radio Club during the 1970-1971 school year.

The Electronics Club this year has provided students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge of electronics by working the lighting and sound systems for such activities as the Senior play, school dances, the Christmas program, and the […]

Cover of Volume II of the 1970 Mirada

In the 1970s yearbooks in the Acalanes Union High School District got creative. So far, this is the most unusual yearbook we’ve come across. Unless we’re misunderstanding this, in 1970 Miramonte released their yearbook in two volumes. We only have access to the “People”, or Volume II book. This means that even though the index […]
