Frederick Goode (formerly of the EOUMB) returned to East Orange on Saturday as admissions
counselors from Cheyney University of Pennsylvania to recruit East Orange high school pupils and sign them
up for scholarships and admission next fall. Posing with them
above is Mayor Ted Green, of East Orange, who is also an alumnus of Cheyney, which was the first Historically Black College, dating back to 1837.

Superintendent Dr. Kevin West, Frederick Goode
They also posed with East Orange Superintendent Dr. Kevin West who takes a personal interest in encouraging East
Orange pupils to transform themselves into college students by
hard work and study. The success of today's Fair will be measured
by the number of East Orange pupils that not only sign up to
attend a college, but who then go on to successfully attend that
institution of higher learning and actually graduate with a
degree. Mr. Goode and Ms Saez both have a reputation for
following through with the college students they recruit and
encourage, as can be seen in the stories of Alumni from the East Orange Unified
Marching Band.
