                        Thursday, April 21, 1994

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I stand today to recognize 
the Yazoo City high school chorus of Yazoo City, MS for being selected 
to represent the State of Mississippi in the 1994 American Musical 
Salute to the Veterans of World War II and the Bicentennial Anniversary 
of the Founding of Washington, DC., which will be held in Washington 
from May 8, 1994 through May 14, 1994.
  The Yazoo City high school chorus, under the direction of Mrs. 
Jevonne McCoy, is comprised of 27 young men and 42 young women. The 
choir has consistently received superior performance ratings in State 
choral contests. While in Washington, the choir will sing at the U.S. 
Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, the Pentagon and at Arlington National 
Cemetery in a ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
  The Yazoo City high school chorus is comprised of an outstanding 
group of young men and women. Many students are honor students, 
participate in numerous extracurricular activities and serve as 
volunteers with various nonprofit organizations in the Yazoo City 
community. In addition, these students graduate from high school and 
proceed to attend college and assume leadership positions in the State 
and the Nation. These young men and women are to be commended for this 
high honor. They will represent Yazoo City and the State of Mississippi 
with great distinction.
