This year's graduation, therefore, affords us a special opportunity to reflect not only on the progress of our individual lives, but on our progress as a people, as well. As a people, our history is deeply rooted in this country from its very beginning. In 1776, Black people in America were slaves. Ironically, they gave their labor only to make our country free for others. Black people had no rights in 1776. The stirring words of the Declaration of Independence - We hold these words to be self evident, that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights and among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - were not written for Black people. It was not until almost 100 years later, during the time of the Civil W'ar, that Blacks were given the right to be free, legally. From the time Blacks first came to this country up to this year of the 200th birthday, Black people have had to fight and struggle and suffer for rights and privileges that other Americans have naturally enjoyed This fight, this struggle, this suffering is your heritage and your treasure. In this Bicentennial year, make it your commitment to contribute yourself to our people's proud history. Make it your commitment to continue this fight, this struggle against suffering, in every area of your lives. Prejudice, injustice, racism, ignorance are still the enemies, and education is our strongest weapon. Segregation may no longer be the law. but it is still a fact of life in America. Tokenism in the professions, in politics, in the labor unions, in the arts, is a transparent mask through which we see the poverty and degradation in which the majority of our people still live. This is the vision that we must keep to remind ourselves that America has still to keep her promise to the majority of our people. In this Bicentennial year, let us celebrate America's birthday by making a commitment to make her great promise a reality. No other nation has ever had such great dreams for its people. Let the heritage of Black people in America be that they were in the forefront to make those dreams come true. Learn and do as much as you can, all your life, so that you will fulfill your own promise and that of America's as well James Barrett. Jr. MORRIS IlKINN Vice Principal BfNNII LEE Vice Principal Vice Principal Although with many of you our contact has been remote and indirect, we have followed your progress through school closely We have enjoyed your scholastic achievements with you, and we have suffered your frustrations. So we feel that we know you very well This makes us very proud. You have been a great class We have |ust a few thoughts to pass along to you Because we have looked upon you as our own, perhaps at times we have been a little permissive For you, those days are over! If you are going to make it, you have to make it on your own because no more excuses will be made for you If you are going to compete, you must produce. Ahead, you have many happy moments of successful achievement Savor them and enjoy them to the full But there will also be times when things do not go |ust right These are the times that will sort the mature from the immature I he adult will take his adversaries in stride, learn a lesson from them, take courage and try again Our best wishes.

This is achieved through the usage of modern electric typewriters, electric calculators, stenography, data processing courses, and other necessary equipment to assure the students of a top-rate education Weequahic is one of very few schools in Newark so well supplied in the business curriculum The Business Department operates the Distributive Education program This is a two-year program for students interested in careers in marketing, merchandising, management, and advertising. In addition to classroom work in these areas, some students are given on the job training in their field of interest. There is also a diversified Work Experience Program that is run by the Business Dept The program is offered to business and non-business students Students are provided with employment in offices, factories, banks, etc. The type of occupations depend on the career interests of the student Most students in the programs plan to continue their education in college 20 PATRIC IA NELSON ANTHONY SACANSKI PEAKl TATUM CAROLYN PARM Director ol Distributive iducjtion HATTIE TURNER RUTH WASSERMAN BLANCHE WATTS 21 This is one heck o( a way to press a sheet ol paper.

To equip them with this knowledge, the science department offers varied courses that aid students in understanding their physical world, and stresses life and its relationship to the environment. There are the standard courses - biology. Chemistry, and Physics—that are more pragmatic in nature. Courses such as Man-made World and tarth Science offers meaningful studies in ecological balance.

Besides the required U S. History I and II, various courses in economics, sociology, psychology, humanities, Afro-American Studies, and world history are instituted to meet these goals Students saw history in the making as Karen Quinlan's family battled for her right to die, as the Russians and Americans met and shook hands in space, as attempted assassinations on the life of President ford were made, as Americans came to bat for the reopening of the Rubin Carter - John Artis case; and as CIA and FBI scandals came to light LARRY LORE R Mil ION GRIM IN LORETTA HALL 40 DANIEL HlADNtY I ESI IE IENKINS EDITH KAYE DAVID MOORE BARRY MUSTER BETTY RICE William Ryans and Darcea Scott visit the Media Center to check the location of Angola El l ABI TH NOBLES WILLIAM TYLER SANfORD WILLIAMS Half-Hour Notice PATRICK WII MAMS VIKUAN WILSON The bell rings.

She wades through the chattering knot of students locked out of Room 437. trying not to hear the gleeful whispers, “Oh boy! A substitute' Once inside, the kids sit with buddies knowing that the substitute hasn't had time to find a seating chart They stop talking only long enough to hear their names called Preliminaries over, she is ready to begin the lesson Where is the sub folder?

Their jobs range from keeping the state attendance register to ordering supplies and handling over-the-counter registrations. In addition to their clerical tasks, the secretaries greet all guests that come into the school Thus, their job also encompasses the area of public relations. Some secretaries have special assign ments such as the principal's secretary, the pay roll secretary, guidance secretary, transcript secretary, et al. Their work is sometimes taken for granted, but without it the school could not function. HFRMAINF BROWN BRENDA POTTS MARJORIE ZIMMERMAN BARBARA THOMPSON Is this any ssa lo run .1 school?

Aside from routine but necessary tasks of cleaning, maintaining and securing the building, the staffs are prepared to meet unusual and emergency situations There are those who did not really appreciate the aides, security guards, and custodial workers until the strike occured in September of 1975 The building then became cluttered, filthy, unsafe and hazardous to work in Teachers, students and parents found themselves prevailed upon to carry out cleaning and security duties.

Plans were underway for possible trips and performances. The spring parade season was marked by Attucks-Kmg Parade and appearances in Orange and East Orange. Did Weequahic's Band make itself known in Mr Ross' new town?! When we get ourselves together, we get the job done! Weequahic's marching band does its number down Bergen Street. Newark, during WHS Homecoming Parade In Tune Step to the Music To paraphrase the band director in the comic strip Funky Winkerbean, Football will be played before and after the band show on Saturday. This may not be the prevailing attitude at Weequahic, but then again it may be, as more and more people avoid the half time rush to get refreshments and remain in the bleachers to watch and listen to the 100 piece marching band Drum major Marty Gibson and Head Majorette Darcea Scott lead the band, twirlers, and color guards in intricate routines Routines are invented and practiced after school by dedicated students who work diligently in order to put on fine shows for football games and parades Added to the rah-rah repertoire of most high school bands were a few contemporary numbers such as The Hustle and Get It On If this is any indication of the direction in which the band is heading musically, Saturdays just may become the day of the band show Seniors Vincent Brown and Lambert Yoons |oin the tail of the procession on field SVNVII1IM 11NVI uie)de o) SINOJ VI3NV1SNC).)

Derek Williams. Charlie Stewart. Rod Slaughter, Coach Peter Trunk Soccer The 1975 soccer season at Weequahic High was not a successful one in terms of won-lost record. Winning only one game, the team was an inexperienced bunch of mostly freshmen and sophomores. I undamentals were stressed and progress was seen toward the end of the tedious schedule Playing against very talented squads like I ast Side and Vailsburg, the Indians took their lumps Goalie Norman Kelly made a season's amazing total of 277 saves, many of them in spectacular fashion The defense was very green and thus gave Mr Kelly little or no support. Coach Trunk feels that with a year of experience under their belts, the hustling breed can escape the depths of the Newark City League basement in 1976 Hope springs eternal next Fall at Weequahic High School for the fighting Indians! It was a tough but rewarding season The high point of Weequahic's 6-2-1 season was the upset of the East Side Red Raiders in a Newark City League contest at Unterman Field. Weequahic, sparked by Mike Lemon's outstanding two-way performance, stormed from behind in the final period to defeat East Side, 14-8. Running mates Maurice Brazell and Lemon hooked up for a touchdown. A pass from Brazed to Lemon picked up 21 yards and gave Weequahic a first down on the 12. A pass from Brazed to Darryl Black gained two yards. Then Brazed fired a 22-yard scoring strike to tight end Terrell Murray to give Weequahic the lead. Brazed ran for extra points The game typified a season in which, according to Coach Adams, we won the big ones but lost the ones we should have won. Substitutes did a good job filling in for key players on the injury-riddled team Senior back Mike Robinson, substituting in the Central game, gave a fine performance as he capped a short drive with a nine-yard touchdown run Ad City honors went to Willie Grady, Ron Shuler, Robbie Dews, and Michael Lemon. Players honorably mentioned were Brazed, Banks, Murray, Anthony, Prysock, Wiggins, and Darryl Black Another player worth mentioning is Senior Virgil Williams, who - praised Coach Whipps - played a consistently good game for a first year man 84 Saturday Excitement Darryl Black [top left) has the hall in a power play that led to the downfall of the Shabaz team Black sprinted 22 yards before going the last 13 lor the ID Mike Robinson |top righr) gets caught in a clothesline alter 15 yard game against West Side Darryl Black [above) cat!lies a pass for a short gain Maurice Bra ell [opposite page. top| sets up to pass in the last Side game Willie Crady [opposite page. be ow| leads the charge 85 SCOREBOARD Weequahic 44 Central ( Weequahic 6 JFK 6 Weequahic 8 Barringer IS Weequahic b Clifford Scott 7 Weequahic 14 East Side 8 Weequahic 14 Vailsburg 3 Weequahic 18 Paterson East Side 0 Weequahic 28 West Side 0 Weequahic 6 Malcolm X Shabazz 0 lohn Hanks 'lately Halfback (.Udrd Robbie Dews| foreground) leads Darryl Black in a svsecp to the right side Wayne Ingram blocking Marvin Anthony Guard - Lmebacker Maurice Bra ell (Quarterback Mike Robinson eludes a would-be tackle 86 lames Canty I'untor Robbie Doss Guard Dctcn ivv f nd Coach Whipps last minute strategy I No blocking by Ingram lames Hunt Iickte Wayne Ingram fullbjck lofrell Murray Corner-tuck Ind A Feast Of Champions Ronald Prysock Tackle Coach Adams Where does it hurt, son Alike Rohmvon Tailback C.reg Sanders Ronald Shuler Corner hack fullback VARSITY TIAM ROW 1 | Hunt, R Smith.

Advisor The Orange and Brown Association saw student apathy as one of Woequahic's greatest problems In an effort to turnabout attitudes, instilling pride and dignity in the student body and the school became the OBA's main goal First of all, a membership drive was begun in an attempt to involve every student in the school Highlighting the year's activities was the OBA Ecology Day project - a successful clean-up campaign inside and outside the school To perpetuate student participation in the overall function of the school, the OBA remstituted the OBA Credit List It entailed students receiving credit points for service to the school, from holding office in a club to helping out in the main office. The students with the most | oints received monetary rewards Plans for a student store to be run by the OBA got underway, and it is hopeful that the store will open for business next year An animated movie was shown, cars washed, dances given, and buttons sold - all in the spirit to provide entertainment, raise money, socialize, and increase student pride Stephanie Coleman Orange And Brown Association OBA officer Stephanie Coleman |pre enrl.

Whichever, are you ready for the challenge' Are you willing to work hard to become the best in your chosen fields? When you set out on your journey you must be physically, emotionally, and intellectually equipped to survive in this now economically depressed society High school has not been a breeze No matter how much you might think you have gotten over , you had to work to get this far, one way or another. Your diploma can take you as far as you aspire The more serious you take it, the more success you will demand of yourself. Make it work - because you worked for it! W'e had a jammin' good time our last year at Weequahic. Even though the class as a whole was low on participation, there were those who worked hard to plan and perpetuate activities that kept our class lively and memorable.

Over 1000 colleges and the Army have an educational plan called Project Ahead. It's a way for young people to enlist in the Army and start their college at the same time. Through Project Ahead, qualified students choose the participating school they'd like to graduate from before enlisting. Then no matter where they study while in the Army, they'll take courses taught by accredited colleges right on post, with the Army paying up to 75% of the tuition. After their enlistment's over, they'll be eligible for education benefits as prescribed by law. If you're interested in finding out more about Project Ahead and other opportunities in today's Army, call me. Call Army SSG Milton Walker about Project Ahead. 372 0233 Join the people who've joined the Army. MEN —WOMFN We'll pay you $361.10 a month to learn Data Processing.
