                         HON. JAMES E. CLYBURN

                        Wednesday, July 19, 1995
  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mrs. Almenia 
Stevenson Williams as she celebrates her retirement from Anacostia 
Senior High School in the District of Columbia.
  Mrs. Williams was born in Florence, SC to the late Reverend Leo T. 
Stevens and Utensile Jackson Stevenson. She was educated in the 
Florence County public schools and later received her bachelor of 
science degree in business education from Savannah State College and 
master of arts degree from the Catholic University of America. She 
furthered her studies at the University of the District of Columbia, 
Howard University and Trinity College.
  Mrs. Williams began her teaching career in the public schools of 
Cedartown, GA. In 1966, she began her 29-year career with the District 
of Columbia public schools, serving at Anacostia Senior High School for 
the past 16 years. Mrs. Williams' dedication to students is not limited 
to the confines of classroom instruction. She served as the Student 
Government sponsor and worked with the Future Business Leaders of 
America.
  In addition to dedicated service to her profession, Mrs. Williams is 
active in numerous civic and professional organizations including the 
National Business Education Association, Ladies First Aid Union of 
Churches, and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. She is also a longtime member 
of Trinidad Baptist Church, where she is the business manager for the 
chorus choir and the recording secretary for the nurses unit. Mr. 
Speaker, I congratulate Mrs. Almenia Stevenson Williams on her 
retirement and join her family and friends in saluting her on July 22, 
1995 at Trinidad Baptist Church.
