                 TRIBUTE TO THE DWIGHT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

                                 ______


                          HON. THOMAS W. EWING

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, January 4, 1995
  Mr. EWING. Mr. Speaker, as we convene the 104th Congress, and welcome 
each of the new Members to this assembly of the people, I am reminded 
not only of our duty to preserve, protect, and uphold the U.S. 
Constitution, but of the vital role an educated citizenry plays in the 
effective governing of our country. As Members of Congress we have a 
responsibility to promote civic education and to recognize those who 
excell in their studies.
  This is why I am proud to enter into the permanent Record of the 
104th Congress the names of the following distinguished students from 
Dwight Elementary School in the 15th District of Illinois who have been 
awarded a Certificate of Achievement from the Center of Civic 
Education, for their study of the history and principles of the 
Constitution of the United States of America. The honorees are: Joseph 
Brassard, Robert Breese, Timothy Brown, Lori Eggenberger, Nathan 
Hoegger, Pamela Maeder, Bryan Neville, Anita Nourie, Curtis Price, 
Falynne Price, Amber Riegel, Dennis Robisky, Andrea Scott, Jennifer 
Small, Jason Spandet, Joey Stevenson, Kathleen Stewart, Joann Weller, 
and Rhea Ann Wilson.
  Who knows, Mr. Speaker? Some of these students may serve in the U.S. 
House of Representatives one day. Most important, however, is that 
these students help to educate other citizens about the importance of 
public participation and the virtues of good government.
  Mr. Speaker, I offer my congratulations to these fine students.
