A Pirate Qlrniziv Rugged men in ragged trousers climb spidery riggings high above the sea. Land Ho! The treasure is in sight! The end of restless seeking. The joy of possession is theirs. Even today there are treasure seekers, for each person searches for a treasure of his own. Whether the treasure is gold or silver, success or knowledge, it requires the same searching, the same dedication of intent. Each student at Van Nuys High School seeks the treasure of knowledge on which to build his future. Through the three-year voyage on the sea of knowledge in high school, the student searches restlessly for his goal in life. Then he reaches the Land Ho-Graduation! Like pirate's treasure, the diploma he receives is the key to achieving success. Van Nuys High is a ship well manned for the treasure search. Her trusty and skillful Pilots of the Main administer and guide the ship along its course. Skilled though the pilots may be, Old Salts are necessary to help them with the voyage. These old timers, the Seniors, set the example to be followed by the Swabbies, Underclassmen, who propel the ship forward on her quest. Throughout the voyage, there are many Hidden Treasures gained through participation in activities which are provided for the crew. Clubs, sports, and school service organizations are open to everyone who wishes to add happy memories and lasting friendships to his treasure chest. As each pirate ship and its crew were proud of their physical strength, so, too, are the students of Van Nuys proud of their sports prowess. The pirates of today uphold their name, and forever prove their strength to the world in brave and daring Conflicts of Honor. With the color and drama of the Pirates still before us, we go forth to even greater quests. -..A HM . te? Elms PILOTS OF THE MAIN . 6 OLD SALTS . . . BH HIDDEN TREASURES . 6+ CONFLICTS OF HONOR .
