I’d
like to call everyone’s attention to a very special honor that will be bestowed
upon one of our faculty members this weekend.
Salem
State University will officially retire women’s basketball jersey #4. This jersey
was worn by MaryDolores Brown-Sokol - Class of 1987. Mrs. Sokol was a four year
starter on the women’s basketball team at Salem State. She was also the Co-Captain
of the 1986 National Champion Team.
She
was named an All-American in her senior year as well as being the first player
at Salem State to receive the College Sports Information Directors Academic
All-American Honors, which is seen as the most Prestigious honor at the
Division III level.
Mrs.
Sokol was also the first student Athlete at Salem State to be awarded the
Howard C. Smith Award, recognizing her as the top female athlete at Salem to receive
both these prestigious awards.
On
behalf of everyone at DHS, let me say congratulations Mrs. Sokol on such a
wonderful honor. We are so proud of you but more importantly we are so glad
that you are here with us every day. You were a special athlete and you are
without a doubt a truly special and wonderful person who means so much to our

The Junior class is sponsoring a Cancer Walk at the High School which will wind its way through a few neighborhoods in town before finishing up back at the High School. We hope you'll consider participating in this event this year. All proceeds will go to cancer research. Students can count this as community service hours also.
****************************************
Anyone in need of community service hours see Courtney Cotnoir or Rachael Morin to volunteer at their senior project on October 9th at 5:00 in the Gym. You would be selling raffle tickets and baked goods at a volleyball game to benefit The American Cancer Society. Also if you want to donate baked goods, the donation would be greatly appreciated and will also count for community service hours! Sign-ups can also be found in the library.
****************************************
Remember that agendas are available at the school store for $3 each. As well as the new Tiger Bracelets for $22.00.
****************************************
If you have any good school appropriate photos
that you would like to see in the yearbook please email them to Brianna
