HISTORY OF THE SECRET SOCIETY PINS
HELIX 1980 - LA JOLLA 2012
THE STAR CHAMBER IS EXTREMELY PROUD OF ALL THE SECRET SOCIETY TEAMS THAT REPRESENTED THE HIGHLANDERS
AND THE VIKINGS OVER THE YEARS. IT IS ALSO PROUD OF THE MANY YOUNG MEN WHO REPRESENTED THE SECRET SOCIETY WITH COURAGE
AND HONOR. ALTHOUGH THE MEMBERS ARE SEPARATED BY 30 YEARS YOU ARE ALL BROTHERS AND PART OF THE SAME
FOOTBALL FAMILY. YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD AND IN LIFE ARE EVIDENCE OF YOUR COMMITMENT TO
EXCELLENCE AND A SOURCE OF MUCH PRIDE FOR ALL YOUR COACHES. WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND CHERISH THE TIME
WE SPENT TOGETHER ON THE FIELD.

| 1998 Was the only year in Secret Society history that the players did not receive their pins. The pins do in fact exist but they were hidden so well that no one can remember where they are stored.
