 o c? sc Cr FOREWORD Every high school student likes to boast of the superiority, traditions, high standards, and accomplishments of his high school. We of Hueneme High can be especially proud, but we do not need to boast — our superiority is evident to all. One day, the traditions of our school will be only cherished and honored memories, but today they are the living attributes of a fine high school. Hueneme has attained high standards in its scholastic and extra-curricular activities, and every year its members bring forth impressive and worthy accomplishments. This year the Voyage staff has embodied the fine qualities of our school in an emblem. Each symbol within the emblem denotes a different aspect of our achievements. The heroic Hueneme Viking is fittingly the central figure of the emblem. He is accompanied on each side by vining ivy which expresses the many memorable experiences accumulated during our four-year voyage through Hueneme High. The shield symbolizes one of Hueneme’s foremost qualities —the strength and faith which each student possesses merely by being a mighty Viking. This strength and faith has been clearly illustrated by the large number of students who attend our school events. We have always encouraged and praised our teams for their accomplishments, whether trivial or great. The winged foot of our emblem holds a special significance for us this year. It is the symbol of our victorious conquest of the Channel League cross country title. This achievement along with our other athletic victories, shows the true fight- ing spirit of our athletic teams. Our school has always been known for the scholastic achievements of its student body. This continuous search for knowledge and understanding is de- picted by the lamp of knowledge. Last, but certainly not least, the ribbon of our emblem is used to express the unity of our student body in spirit, pride, and fellowship. We are all Hueneme Vikings and we are all proud of our school —the biggest and the best. 4
