Prior to this assignment, Mr. Barrett taught mathematics at South Side and several years before taught math at West Kenny Jr. High. Outside of the school system, Mr. Barrett served as Coordinator and Assistant Director of the neighborhood Youth Corps and presently teaches at NJ Institute of Technology. Educated in the ewark Public Schools, he attended Bloomfield College. Montclair State, and Rutgers U. It is good to reflect on the 1950's, 1960's, and the 1970's, to analyze the progress our people have made over this span of time. In the 1950's the need for the battle against racial injustice was apparent. During this time, the fight against racial injustice took the form of overt protests. This could be classified as the beginning of the era of the sit-ins, the boycotts, the marches, etc. Such leaders emerged as Dr. Martin L. King, Malcolm X., et al — all of whom played a significant role in bringing attention to the injustices under which we were forced to live. The injustices at that time were apparent. Blacks had to sit in the rear of the bus; they were not able to attend many universities, colleges and other schools because of the color of their skin. These apparent injustices existed more so in the South than they did in the North, and so the biggest war was waged in the South. By the early 1960's, the fight began to travel throughout this country; every state of the Union felt some of the dissatisfaction expressed by Blacks through various forms of protest. In the late 1960's the protest took on a more violent form when rioting began to take place in a number of major American cities. Because of the unrest of the 50's and 60's, new laws were written and programs were established to help Blacks overcome the apparent injustices and clearly a change of attitude developed in the minds of those who held positions of power. As a result of the 1950's and 1960's, we have seen Blacks take an even more responsible positions than ever before. In the early 1970's, it was apparent that the fight against racial injustice was effective and as a result many assumed that the leaders of the 1950's and 1960's took a back seat and in many cases you do not hear from them anymore. It should be apparent to all Blacks that those injustices are still here, however, they have taken on a different form. Understanding of these injustices now require more of a level of sophistication because they are so subtle in nature. Blacks must still seek answers to such questions as: (a) Why are urban schools inferior to other schools? (b) Why are there so many Blacks out of work? (c) Why are so many of our correctional institutions filled with Blacks? (d) Why is good housing still so difficult for Blacks to find? These questions and many like them still plague the Black community, and we as a people will not have forgotten our just due until all these problems of injustice are rectified. The Battle has just begun! 30 bmn Barrett. Jr. The Barretts Mi. Leo Pwrl, Vice-principal A native New Yorker, Mr. Pearl received most of his education in the Newark Public Schools — West Side High and Arts High. Upon graduation, Mr. Pearl entered what is popularly known as the roughest, toughest, (censored) outfit in the United States services — The Marine Corps. Once a Marine, always a Marine, Mr. Pearl proudly wears his service insignia about school and will take the time when interest is expressed to rehash his golden days in the Corps. Receiving degrees from Panzer College, Rutgers University, and Seton Hall, he began his teaching career in 1946. He was a physical education teacher for many years before being promoted to vice-principal in 1965. As a family man, Mr. Pearl is married and has two daughters and one son. Outside of school, Mr. Pearl is a businessman, running one of the most successful catering establishments in the state. You name a job and Mr. Lee has done it. From postal clerk to Director of the Neighborhood Youth Corps, Mr. Lee brings practical as well as technical experience to the vice-principalship at Weequahic. A math major, he took his degrees at Newark State and Rutgers University. For four years he taught mathematics at Central High School before serving as vice-principal. In .addition to his administrative duties at WHS, Mr. Lee also teaches mathematics at Rutgers U. Mr. Lee is most interested in school law and has once been overheard to disclose a secret yearning to become a medical doctor. A family man, also, Mr. Lee is married and has three children. 32 Vice Principals Mr. Bi-nniv L. lev, Vicc-principjl Running A Smooth Tepee Mr. Gentile is a new addition to the WHS administration. Before being transferred to Wcequahic, Mr. Gentile taught in the school system for sixteen years, serving part of these years as math instructor and Assistant Principal at Arts High School. Mr. Gentile attended Saint Peters Prep in Jersey City, receiving his degrees from Seton Hall. Mr. Gentile is the only single vice-principal at WHS. Mr. Alfredo Gentile, Vke-prirKipal Mr. Morris Bunn, Vice-principal Mr. Morris Brinn came to Weequahic in 1960 as chairperson of the Biology Department, later becoming vice-principal in charge of discipline. Mr. Brinn attended Baylor University in Texas, receiving there his B.S. degree in chemistry and physics, minoring in biology. Mr. Brinn's interests are varied, ranging from tennis to keep his body fit, to psychology to keep his mind in perfect shape. Each year at graduation, Mr. Brinn awards a graduating senior a scholarship in memory of his wife. Mr. Brinn is widowed. But with a son in college and a married daughter, Mr. Brinn still leads a very active family life.

Public focus has been drawn on the low reading and achievement scores of Newark pupils; and the unsatisfactory past performances of Weequahic students on the SAT has been spotlighted. In the wake of this concerned attention, the guidance department took a positive step in improving WHS juniors and seniors test-taking skills on the SAT. Under the auspices of Talent Research, Incorporated, the Guidance Department instituted after-school SAT tutoring sessions, instructed by two math and two English teachers. The Peer Counseling Group enjoyed an expansion in membership, growing from ten to nearly eighty in number. These select students aid others in school and social adjustments.

Preparing For The Job Market The Business Department presents twenty-three courses to meet the needs of WHS's students' diverse interests. Courses are available for the students who are preparing for college, as well as those who plan a career in the Business field. Bookkeeping, Accounting, Merchandising or management. Data Processing, or within the secretarial or clerical areas, there is a course for everyone here. The Business Department's goal is to provide the students at WHS with those competencies required to compete in the job market and to assist interested students in attaining personal-use skills in the areas of consumer education, typewriting, and shorthand.

Emphasis On The Basics When asked what was different and variant in the English Department, Mr. Mr Elroy replied, The only thing new in this department is me. (That's true enough. Mr. Mr Elroy comes to us from West Side where he server! as English Department head.) But he went on to add that the English teachers were teaching to T anil F — Thorough and Efficient Education, the hack-to-basics program instituted by the State board of Education. There was a stepped-up emphasis on reading and test-taking. Every junior and senior was the recipient of SAT preparation manuals. Sample State Assessment Tests were distributed to underclassmen in a valiant attempt to familiarize and expose the student to content and test-taking procedures. The department continues its vitalized courses of Shakespeare, Black Literature, Humanities, Creative Writing, Drama, Library Studies, Black Studies, The Novel, and Speech Communications. Discontinued are Classical Lit, Humanities combiner! with History, English-1 listory 2000 course and Film Seminar. Joanne Attatdi B A .

This past year. Dr. Clark said, has seen more emphasis placed on basic mathematics in concordance with the new T E program. Not that the students have started back to counting on their fingers or using an abacus, but more concentrated attention has been brought to bear on basic concepts and formulas in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers and fractions. Over half of the juniors taking the 11th year math exam fail it. Those who fail are enrolled in a class called 11th Year Review Math in order to correct the deficiencies.

Faculty 49 Play Me The Music For years the Music Department went without a department chairperson, coming, often, under the auspices of varius other department heads. The department is proud to announce that Mr. Ransom, who has served unofficially as chairman, is now not only the music head but the boss of the Foreign Language Department as well. Little has changed in tin past years. Mixed Chorus and Advanced Chorus continue to enthrall audiences at concerts. There is a piano in every music room on the fourth floor. There is a stereophonic record player system in every music room. Every instructor is as finely tuned as their precision instruments and their students come away with a deep and profound appreciation of our musical heritage. There are courses offered in woodwinds, percussions, strings, ja band, brass, and marching band. (See pages 154-161.) Mr. Frederick Ransom, Chairperson B.S., M.M., Music-U. of Ark.

Washington about the merits of using one's brains versus using his hands. The debate is still going on among educators. There has been no winner, and perhaps that is the reason why WHS offers vast opportunities in using both. The Industrial Arts Department is second to none in diverse course offerings. New in the IA curriculum is Photography, a course taught by Mr. Ogens that covers from taking the picture to developing it. The printing shop gets lots of business from within the school.

It circled the earth every 95 minutes until it fell to earth on lanuary 4, 1958. Ever since that time, the United States has been placing more and more emphasis on science alloting billions of dollars for its study, determined to be number one in space travel and scientific discoveries. Students at WHS learn new and exciting information everyday in their science classes as a result of these discoveries. The lest tube or vial is one of the most invaluable science apparatus ever developed. In it may be the next revolutionary cure of vaccine. The test lube held the key to the Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde mystery— that's the past—in the future there's talk of test tube babies. Many experiments are carried out in the test tube in the science labs at WHS—tests involving blood, mercury, formulas, uranium, single-cell animals. We are living in a highly computerized world, and the students at WHS are learning to deal with and understand how it operates, as the science department continues to expose them to new advents in this ever growing field.

Though the history of our own country is emphasized, other countries are being brought under the scrutiny of history classes designated to teach U.S. history. With countries like Uganda ever present in the news, the social science teachers are presenting lessons and exercises in understanding how other countries are ruled. The map is an indispensable aide in the history classroom, as is the globe. The Social Science department also offers sociology and psychology as half-year subjects, as part of its diverse programming. The Afro-American studies is still a strong program with Mr. Williams spending more and more time redirecting the thinking of Black youth. A concentrated study of how Blacks live in other countries and how they arc treated is a main part of Mr. Williams' program. The History Department separated from the English Department this year in that English-History 2000 was no longer offered, nor was the Humanities joined with history.

Generally speaking, school libraries have S been criticized tor a depressing lack of visual appeal and a disturbing absence of reading activities — not . so at the Weequahic library. The Media Center's I bulletin boards are among the most colorful in the school, decorated with highly descriptive paper covers from books and reading messages. There are several displays of paperback books on a wide range of fictional topics positioned about the orange-carpeted room. Every student is invited (indeed required) to check out a book of some kind when he attends the orientation to the media center. The teacher reinforces this by requiring a book -report on the student's selection. At the end of the year, the librarians circulate a book request form to teachers and order those books teachers request for their students. The Media Center remains a meeting ground for guest speakers and students — often presenting authors of famous books — another step in encouraging students to READ. Devaior Hooks, Head Librarian 64 Media Center PR On Books In clockwise rotation — making practical use of the Media Center are: Susan Librarian Mr. Feldman helps Donna Thomas find cross McLeod, who shows she's hooked on books and words, too; Cynthia Washington and references on the subject of geology. Leroy Kelly, who get help from Miss Chapman in locating European cities they've been reading about in history; and Cynthia Mitchell, who learns first hand how to operate an opaque projector.

Faculty 67 Immunization— Number One Concern Over four-hundred students found the WHS doors barred to their entrance in September, l ack of proper immunization innoculations caused hundreds of students to enter school late, having to suffer long lines and sore arms as a further consequence. DPT — Diptheria, Tetanus, and Whooping Cough — shots were administered en masse in the WHS health office, doctors' offices, health centers, and hospitals all over New Jersey as a part of a health mandate handed down by the State Board of Health, Education, and Welfare. During the 1977-78 school year the WHS health office treated near-epidemic numbers in fevers, sore throats, colds, nausea, and hot flashes. And it seems those students involved are the ones who have been immunized against the same. Mrs. Dorothea August checks immunization records of incoming freshmen and new students to WHS. legend literary Editor Karen Hatcher complains of a sore throat and gets tongue depressed by Nurse Florence White. 68 Faculty Return Of The Truant Officer The truant officer is definitely not a thing of the past. Though today they are known by a more euphemistic appellation — attendance counselors — they basically perform the same tasks — that of searching out the reasons for poor attendance, correcting them, and motivating the student to return to school. Home visitations are necessary and for that reason the attendance counselors spend a half day in the field investigating truant pupils. 763 forms are completed by the homeroom teacher and transferred to the Attendance department which acts on any blatant absences. The attendance counselors are: pictured — Janice Pinckney and Steve McClendon; Kenneth Milligan and Roderick Alston. The ultimate goal of these counselors is to modify attendance habits and behavior. Janice Pinckney vets out to visit the home of a truant student. A familiar sight in the Wcequahie community, Mr. McClendon n known to personally escort the absent student to school. Faculty 69 Because It's Legal Doesn't Mean It's The Best Thing To Do . . Drug Counselor loraine While often discusses drug-related problems with our school nurses. Here she and Mrs. August review the health record of one of her drug counselees Because it is legal, does not mean ii is the best thing to do . . . Mrs. White feels very deeply about the question of legating marijuana. We are moving more toward decriminalization than legalization, she said, in an interview with Miss Scott. The two are not the same. Decriminalization just means there is no police record involved; however, t he same criminal implications still stand. The student can't get a civil service job or other government-type service position if he is caught in possession by police. . . Mrs. White says the trend is toward a younger smoking group. It has reached its peak — to the point where it can sometimes be smelled in the halls. The effect it's having on education is devastating. The young drug user should .think about priorities. Education is of utmost importance in his life. . . Drug Educator: lorainc C White 70 Special Services Freshmen like Beverly Baksh find high school awesome ai limes. And at times, need special listeners. Mrs. Connie While has found that in her position just being a good listener is oftentimes enough. Replacing lackic Mirkin as school social worker, she gets the aid of two other social workers who come into the building once a week. These social workers act as a caucus for dealing with social-related problems of WHS students. Many teachers come to me with problems in dealing w'ith students. Sort of off-the-cuff advice instead of official is what they arc many times seeking. Discussing the problems with administrators, nurses, and guidance counselors is standard operating procedures. It takes a unified concentration to solve problems, Mrs. White admits, even though having a compassionate ear has proven to be successful in most.

Newark Board Of Education: A New Superintendent In a special meeting held at the Lafayette Street School on January 3,1978, Alonzo Kittrels was chosen to replace the usurped Stanley Taylor as executive superintendent of schools. Mr. Kittrels had been acting superintendent since June 1977 when Stanley Taylor was suspended. Before this present appointment, Mr. Kittrels served as director of personnel for the board. Though there were some protests over the selection, Mr. Kittrels was the unanimous choice of the board which considered the choice a milestone in education . Mr. Kittrels looks forward to making significant changes that will affect the learning of Newark's school children.

Actually it isn't called that at all; its true name is St. Peter's Open Space Park. It isn't a large park; but it's expanding. According to Councilman Sharpe James (South Ward), St. Peter's will add a tennis and handball court. There is already there an outdoor swimming pool (the first in the Weequahic community), a basketball court, and a recreation hall. This park provides worthy use of leisure time for the young and the old, and its purpose is to aid in the physical, mental, and social growth of Weequahic citizens.

Community 79 Open House Open Grade Books On the calm, balmy night of November 16, parents, teachers and students left their homes to meet and greet one another at a common meeting affair — WHS's Open House. The general meeting-at-large was routine with the welcoming addresses and introductions and financial reports. Then came the enlightening portion of the evening — when parent met teacher and both learned some surprising things. This is the time when the concerned met face-to-face and exchanged information that helped each to understand a little better the child in question. (On these pages are some candid scenes from that exchange.) On hand, also, were the administrators, guidance counselors, and social workers. The evening was culminated by a get-together in the cafeteria for social conversation and refreshments. Mr. lames Barrett, Mr. Richard McClish, president of PTSA, and Mr. Banks lead audience in the Pledge of Allegiance. Ms. Leslie Jenkins and parent focus in on student's test grades. 80 Curriculum Ms. Pat Svec reassures parent that her son is doing quite well in her biology class.

It was mourning the death of Miss Mamie Jones, who died suddenly the latter part of August. Miss Jones had graduated from Rutgers University with Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Arts in Education degrees and had enjoyed a career in dance and theatre before coming to Weequahic in 1974. Miss Jones had assisted Ms. Joanne Accardi in the production of WHS drama presentations. She was a beautiful and talented woman whose warmth and devotion touched all who knew her, said Miss Accardi. She was a real nice lady, said Joe Bennett, one of her former students. I used to carry her books to class for her sometimes. I remember that she was always smiling. Ms. Janice Findley, one of her colleagues in the English Department, said: She was dedicated to the theatre, her students, and her friends. One thing I remember about Mamie Jones, recalled Mr. James Barrett, was that her enthusiasm and dedication in the teaching arts was always present. All you would have to do is sit in one of her classes and you could easily see what an excellent teacher she really was. We certainly all miss her. Professional — she was very professional — and nice, Hermaine Brown remembered. Mr. Barry Horton, security guard, said: Nice, pleasant to talk to, respectable. Carried herself in a friendly, refined, and ladylike manner. She was a glistening star, Mr. Morris Brinn elucidated, in the firmaments and scintillated the light of knowledge to her students. Miss Jones was the most effervescent person I have ever known. She had a lot of energy-spreading good will to all who came in contact wih her, said Ms. Joyce James. Mamie was a real lady in every sense of the word. She was continuously extending herself for kids. When she had the play, she bent over backwards to make sure everything was perfect. She had a lot of compassion, remembered Mrs. Rose Bodzin. What can I say? pondered Ms. Annie Williams, Mamie was a lovely, lovely person. I miss her very much. Miss Anita Tur, Newark Teachers Union Building Representative, said that Mamie's name sums up her qualities: Modest..........never boastful but sure of her worth Amiable.........good friend and strong Union member Motivated. . . . guiding her students to high achievement Intelligent . . a brilliant mind ever growing Earnest.........and true to us all.

Miss Janice Findley, senior class advisor, raised the curtain on the Dance With Me presentation of the Ms WHS Pageant. Then eighteen beautiful young ladies dressed in long, flowing white gowns with laurels adorning their hair danced slowly down the two middle aisles. And at the foot of the stairs that led to the stage, holding long-stemmed red rose buds, the escorts waited to dance with them on stage. It was an evening of elegance and taste. The young ladies smiled charmingly, curtsied delicately, danced divinely, and performed admirably. The judges were enthralled and the ultimate decisions were not easy. (Earlier in the week there had been preliminary judging and the judges got the chance to speak with each contestant personally — which helped.) The competition categories were curtsy and fashions for freshmen and sophomores; curtsy, fashions, and talent for juniors and seniors. During the course of the program, Derek Whitaker performed You Are So Beautiful at the piano and Vanessa Zimmerman sang You need a Friend . 1 he Reigning Queens at WHS were introduced along with the Legend 78Calendar Girls. Then at 6 p.m. — titillatingly keeping everyone on the edge of their seats — Ms. Findley announced the winners and their runners-up.

If he is good, he runs alone. If not —he runs with the pack. This year the WHS runners were usually alone or with each other because they were better and faster than most of the competition. Indeed, they were good enough to win over Central, Malcolm X., Vailsburg, East Side, Arts High, and Barringer — and take the City Meet. Cross Country — the toughest sport of all. There are no substitutes, no bands playing, no cheerleaders, no chance of passing the blame to another team member. There are few spectators or fans to brave you on.

Wrestling: Close Calls The wrestling team this year finished with a disappointing record (0-5-1); many of these losses were close indeed and three or four losses resulted from forfeits. One of the teams' problems was team depth , according to Coach John Mayer. Highlights of the season was a 33-31 loss to Vailsburg and later an 8-1 loss to Vailsburg. The top wrestlers on the team were Sherman Kcnnan who was undefeated; freshman Angelo Kennon, and Dion Shaw. Other team members and scores were: Carlton Howington 4-2; Stanley Judson 1-2; James Baker 1-2; Mark Davis 3-3; Bruce Wright 3-3; and Tracey Johnson 0-2.

Hard Work, Effort You couldn't exactly call it a good year for the WHS Indians. They went all year, practically, without uniforms — playing out their games in nondescript blue gym exercise suits. They won lonly one game, losing thirteen others to Competitors. But despite this blitz of nisfortune, they didn't lose their spirit nor heir will to win. The team consisted of three ieniors, one junior, five sophomores, and three :reshmen. And, according to Coach Gaylord, he returning members will be ready for the rhallenge having gained much experience in he game. The highlight of the season sprang forth with the win over Vailsburg.

WHS challenged Arts High and Fast Side; these teams swam each other three times in regular competition. According to Mr. Bruce Bennett, coach, the team did not do well (record: 0-6); however, individual team members swam away with excellent citations. James Banks, a senior, excelled in the 100 yard breast--stroke and received four (4) first place prices as his reward. Promising are juniors Ken Johnson, John Mulqotfand, and Deirdre Van Walters. Because of a lack of participation by other city schools, the Annual City Swim Meet was eliminated, leaving the city championship to go to the team with the best record.

Under the divine guidance of first year fencing coach Shirley Moore, the team found itself competing in the state finals at FairLawn, NJ. The team finished its season with ten wins and four losses, tying with Barringer for second place. Unlike other teams, WHS had enough strong fencers to have two starting teams. This enabled more members to fence and feel a part of the team. Besides the seniors listed on these pages, other fencers are: Kenny Buford (co-captain and Bronze medalist), Lorenzo McCluney (co-captain), Darryl Parraway (Silver medalist), John Counts, Terrance Simpson, Alise Forde, Jane Morris, and Sidney Trainer.

But as the year broke cold and the work became measuringly harder and furious, our staff dwindled to a faithful dozen. These twelve stuck it out during cold, snowy days and the ordeal of the late evenings to put together this 260-plus page yearbook. There were some editorial changes during the year: John Bowles replaced Talmech Williams as sports editor; Susan McLeod was first assigned as acting editor when Felix was hospitalized and later was promoted to associate editor .

Donna Walker and Donna Thomas plan to become Certified Public Accountants — Miss Walker is off to NC A T State and Miss Thomas is staying right here at home, Rutgers U; Osman wants to go into marketing, import-export, and economics as end products of his Business Administration education at NYU. Lesha Hodge and Robin Kilgore both want to teach elementary school kids; Lesha will major in Elementary Ed at Kean; Robin, at Fairleigh Dickinson. Lorraine Thomas, Adrienne Jordan, and Dclmarie Wiggins arc entering the computer science field each wishing to become programmers (Dclmarie will teach children with lesna and Robin if her career in computer technology doesn't pan out).
