                      CHATHAM HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

  Mr. KERRY. Madam President, I would like to take a moment to 
recognize the accomplishments of the Chatham High School students who 
participated in the We the People . . . The Citizen and the 
Constitution competition.
  Although we frequently hear discouraging words about the state of our 
public education system, these students from Chatham High have given us 
reason to be hopeful.
  Recently these 19 students from Chatham High School in Chatham, 
Massachusetts distinguished themselves along with students from 47 
other classes throughout the Nation in the We the People . . . The 
Citizen and the Constitution national competition held in Washington, 
DC from April 30 to May 2, 1994.
  Administered by the Center for Civic Education, the program is 
designed to help students understand the history and principles of the 
U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights and to learn to participate 
competently and responsibly in our political system.
  For their accomplishments in this competition and their commitment to 
excellence in the classroom, I would like to recognize Stephanie Agnew, 
Christina Cox, Alison D'Elia, Trevor Davis, Brendan Doherty, Noah 
Farnham, Courtney Harris, Denis Hynds, Kate Murdoch, Baralee Murphy, 
Sarah Norcross, Richard Parrent, Erica Peltier, Rachel Shields, Joshua 
Stello, Nick Szado, Richard Torres, Karen Wright, Jennifer Zibrat, and 
their teacher Tom Flaherty.
