My father's Graduation booklet is dated June 1944. However, the date in the Grad booklet is June 14 and it says Class 35 but his Certificate of Training reads June 19, 1944 and says Class 36. His name was Mauro Montoya. Hope this helps.

Just found my grandfather's yearbook, class 15. This page was very helpful in dating the publication as I was unable to find a date within the booklet.

Douglas Roberts says his father graduated class 20 Mar 15, 1944, yet the class list from the AFHRA microfilm indicated class 20 graduated April 21, 1943.

In response to Ana Wade. I have two add'l Radio School Class books and in one there is a student identified as, 'M.A. Montoya'.

Go to the webmaster of this site and he can share my email address. Drop me a note and I can scan the photo so you can determine if this is your relative.
