Williams Vice Principal Benjamin 0 Мад Congratulations to all graduates of June 1989. You have just completed the first step toward social and economic independence. Becoming successful in life is not an accidental occurrence. Working hard and establishing goals are essential in becoming a successful individual. Do not blame others for your failure; no one can determine your lifestyle but you. Remember Weequahic High Sc hool as a training ground. You made mistakes, met new friends, discarded others; but most of all learned that time passes us all by. What you do with that time is of utmost importance. W hat will you be doing ten years from now, besides being 27 or 28 years old? Benjamin O'Neal Vice Principal
