A PRAYER FOR GOLD STAR HUNTERS Dear God, we sent them to the grave, They died for us, they were so brave. We can raise banners, we can shoot guns, But we can't make amends for lost loved ones. All we can do is say this prayer For the gallant men who died somewhere On land, in air, and on the sea, To keep precious freedom for you and me. by Leslie Gingery ETERNlTY'S THIRTY-FOUR This is the plight of the thirty-four Who died for their country in time of war. A strange tale the thirty-four could tell: How they died at foreign gates of hell. Overseas they fought, stumbled and died, Behind, their loved ones bitterly cried. A fighter plane in the flak-filled sky Carried Hunters with appointments to die. To the Valley of Deathi' through an open door, Serving their country, rode the thirty-four. Page Six The men on the beach-head, face down in the sand, Protected only by Godis invisible hand. Be Strongi' was the motto of Canoga High, Remembered by mortal men before they die. They lived and they died, and they fought like men, So proud of their country, they'd do it again. Their bones turned to dust, these Hunters are gone, And a lonely bronze plaque carries memories on. Let not their names slip from our memory. Remember them, Hunters-for eternity. by Stuart Fox

Page Eight The position of any point on the earth's surface can be expressed in terms of latitude and longi- tude. At sea a navigator must know how to deter- mine his position at any time in order to plot a course to his destination. When he is out of sight of land he must make use of the celestial bodies to locate himself. If he possesses the necessary knowledge, skill, and equipment, he can do this with great accuracy. If he also has a seaworthy ship and a capable crew, he can be quite certain to make his landfall. The seas belong to everyone. Today as in the past they offer an exciting oppor- tunity for the properly prepared to get from one place in the world to another. However, the ill prepared may flounder and fail when faced by the ever present challenges of the sea. Sovereign of the Seas, selected as the theme for this year's Utopian, provides an excellent parallel to the opportunities and challenges of a high school education. The public schools, as the seas, belong to everyone. A serious student must determine his position and his destination and plot his course as carefully as the captain of a ship. He must be able to adjust his course and his speed day by day and semester by semester taking into full account his abilities, his interests, and his opportunities for counseling and instruction. Pursuing an education, as sailing the seas, offers MR. HENRY 0. DYCK, Principal courageous and strong. ever new horizons to those who are determined, I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by . . . john Masefield Sincerely, H. o. Dyck he admiral guided uA an our oqage To: Mr. Henry O. Dyck From: The Canoga Park Student Body and Faculty Dear Mr. Dyck: We would like to express our deepest thanks to you for serving the individ- uals of Canoga Park High School and looking after the general welfare of the student body. You have done much for Canoga Park High School. Under your generalship Canoga has acquired many new line facilities such as the boys' gym, parking lot, new classroom and shop buildings, the collegiate type quad, and the remodeling of the science and old shop buildings, the girls' gym, and the lower floor of the Administration building. For these material advances Canoga thanks you. Even more important, you have made a steady effort to upgrade the instruc- tional program and encourage the students to accept more and more responsi- bility for their own actions in accordance with the general welfare of the stu- dent body. You represent sound judgment, high standards and the best of personal qualities. You stand for what is right, you have the courage of your convictions and an unusual ability to communicate your ideas to young people. Anyone who works any length of time with you becomes aware that it is indeed a privilege to know you. We wish you the best of luck at your new school. Thank you again, Canoga Park High School Students and Faculty
