Battle over high school in San Juan Capistrano history
Don Tryon recounts a long local clash between San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente over a high school. From 1919 beginnings, 1956 site fights, two failed bonds, and a 1964 graduation end, the struggle shaped city incorporation and local politics, with quarrels, crowd anger, and a library on the former gym site.
