Picture of Mark Jeffrey in 1979

We’ve reached the 1973-1974 school year at Del Valle. This is an excellent point to once again stop and summarize where we’ve been and where we’re going. So far we’ve looked at all five schools in the Acalanes Union High School District (AUHSD) and one in Nebraska. Let’s try to arrange this into a narrative, […]

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 […]

Picture of the 1970-1971 Miramonte Electronics Club

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 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 […]

In the 1969 Mirada… we find that there was an Electronics Club during the 1968-1969 school year. One of Miramonte’s most unusual clubs, the Electronics Club, has undertaken various stimulating projects during the year. The group sponsored an unusual contest to raise money. Helium balloons were sold at noon to the student body, and the […]

Picture of the 1966-1967 Miramonte Electronics Club

In the 1967 Mirada… we find an entry for the 1966-1967 Electronics Club. The Electronics Club takes over where the Audio-Visual Club leaves off; when the school’s sound and lighting equipment need repair, the Electronics Club is called upon to fix it. Under the guidance of Mr. F. R. Davis, the club members become well-versed […]
