Dawnwood Middle School - Orbit Yearbook (Centereach, NY)

Theme and School spirit reached an all time high at Dawnwood this year. There were many contributing factors. We began the year with an outstanding football season, with record breaking performances on the field and in spectator attendance, and this success continued in a similar manner throughout the other sports seasons. Then came spirit week sponsored by the ninth grade and featuring a red and white dress up day contest, a spirit poster contest, the sale of red and white hats, and, climaxing the week, a spirit rally. But leading and influencing all these events was a great desire on the part of the stu- dent body to make Dawnwood a school we can be proud of: a school where students and faculty alike share a desire to set and meet high standards, academically, ethically, and socially. z 1. gs, S2-rx . I .M I On behalf of the student body of Dawnwood Junior High School, we wish to dedicate this part of Orbit '68 to Mrs. Menefee to thank her for her outstanding spirit and concern for the students of our school. Mrs. Menefee has been a constant supporter of all Dawn- wood sports and activities. She has been the guiding light behind our cheerleading squad. She has been a great and wonderful teacher to many of us. She has always been the epitome of spirit at Dawn- wood and consequently we wish to thank her for her time, effort, and sincerity.
