                    TRIBUTE TO MRS. MARY SECZAWINSKI

                                 ______


                            HON. HERB KLEIN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 10, 1994

  Mr. KLEIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mrs. Mary 
Seczawinski, a woman who has dedicated the past 32 years of her life to 
the Passaic, NJ school system. It is with great pride that I join the 
students and staff of Passaic High School in honoring the devoted 
foreign language teacher and trusted friend.
  Mrs. Seczawinski's teaching achievements reflect the scope of her 
influence and commitment to her students. In 1991, she received The 
Governor's Award for Excellence in Teaching. Through the recommendation 
of a former student, she was honored at the William Paterson College of 
New Jersey in 1993. The nomination cited Mrs. Seczawinski as the 
teacher who had a great affect on her life. Her students have followed 
a variety of career paths, becoming everything from attorneys and 
physicians to teachers and musicians, including the recording artists 
``The Shirelles.''
  Her efforts on behalf of Passaic High School extend beyond academic 
education. Mrs. Seczawinski has served not only as a teacher, but as a 
friend and adviser as well. She has been called upon by individual 
students a countless number of times, and always responded to the young 
adults' needs with consideration and care. Mrs. Seczawinski has 
instilled respect and responsibility in her students, and the Passaic 
schools have greatly benefited from her positive influence.
  For decades, Mrs. Seczawinski has demonstrated her dedication to 
Passaic High School, and I know she will be deeply missed by both 
students and staff. I am proud to have the opportunity to ask my 
colleagues to join me in wishing here continued success on this 
distinguished occasion.
