- Changing.. . Growing The 1980 Legend is the largest in the history of Weequahic High School. At the outset, we pondered about the volume of Legend '80, realizing that Weequahic is a complex and active school. So ... we endeavored to cover everything — from student life to student learning. I must say that I am honored and proud to have edited our yearbook. The experience has brought me closer to the WHS faculty and to my fellow classmates. I hope you will look back upon the Legend in the 21st Century and lx able to chart your growth and be able to substantiate a continuity in your experiences. Carolyn Dillard, Fditor 28

Mr. Claude S B«‘v In conference with hit chiellains — Mr Morrii Bfinn, Mr. OwHet Meidow . Mr. 1(0 PwH,tnd Mr Al Gentile. Vice-Pfincipik. Dedication, faith: attributes of our new principal A WHS Student Comes Home to Lead To the class of 1980. Editor's note; Rare indeed is it that a former student returns to his high school alma mater as its principal; that is exactly what Mr. Claude Bey has done, much to the delight of his former teachers at WHS. A 1%i graduate of WHS. Mr. Bey received his BA degree at Fairleigh Dickinson and his MA degree at Rutgers U. Mr. Bey first entered the Newark Public School System as a teacher of business skills at West Side where he later server! as drug coordinator. Our principal entered the administrator sector as vice-principal at Central ('77-'78) and most immediately served as principal at West Kinney |r. High School. Mr Bey is married and he, his wife and their two-year old daughter reside in Orange, N|. It is my sincere pleasure to congratulate you on yet another milestone in your lives. You are the bulwark on which our future rests. With the advent of the 80's, we see ourselves approaching the 21st century in just a matter of years. The 70's was a decade of paradoxes and controversies and we are still victims of its problems, racism, unemployment, inflation, and other social ills that are waiting to lx ameliorated. “Time waits for no one is an old adage and as young people this may not mean much to you now. That is why the administration and faculty at WHS, as well as your parents, have tried to steer you toward preparation of the future. You must lx prepared. And that is just w hat we tried to do during your tenure at Weequahic. Again my best wishes to all of you for a bright and productive future. 30 Clou S. Bey
