     IN HONOR OF CARL AND PATRICIA HORN'S RETIREMENT FROM EDUCATION

                                 ______


                           HON. GLENN POSHARD

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 19, 1994

  Mr. POSHARD. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to Carl and 
Patricia Horn of Royalton, IL as they both retire from 30 years of 
teaching in the State of Illinois.
  Carl Horn richly contributed to the lives of many during his 30 years 
as an educator. Carl began his career as a band chorus director in 
Norris City, IL in 1964. In 1968, Carl became the music director at 
Zeigler-Royalton High School where he taught until his retirement this 
year. From 1988 to 1993 Carl served as assistant principal of Zeigler-
Royalton Junior and Senior High School. Carl Horn also served as girls 
high school basketball and softball coach while teaching at Zeigler-
Royalton.
  Patricia Horn began her 30 year teaching career as an elementary 
school teacher in 1962 at Waukegan Grade School. After teaching at a 
number of schools, Patricia began teaching at Zeigler-Royalton Junior 
High School in 1968 where she taught until 1994. Besides teaching, 
Patrica Horn served as sponsor to many student groups and organizations 
including the school newspaper, student council, and junior and senior 
high school cheerleading squads.
  In addition to teaching and involvement in a number of 
extracurricular activities, Carl and Patricia successfully raised four 
children. Despite their very involved schedules, their children tell me 
they never missed a sporting event, band concert, or play in which they 
could show support for their children.
  As an educator I commend Carl and Patricia for the dedication and 
hard work they have shown throughout their careers. By giving of 
themselves, Carl and Patricia have touched the lives of thousands of 
children over the years and by doing so, they have enriched and 
strengthened the community in which we all live.
