             75TH ANNIVERSARY OF SAINT ANTHONY HIGH SCHOOL

                                 ______


                           HON. STEPHEN HORN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 24, 1995

  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute the 75th anniversary of 
Saint Anthony High School in Long Beach, CA--the oldest parish high 
school in the Los Angeles archdiocese. Since 1920, Saint Anthony High 
School has played a vital role in the education of our area's young 
people, shaping the lives of many who have gone on to become community 
builders and leaders--including a former Member of the House of 
Representatives, the Honorable Daniel Lungren, now California's able 
attorney general, and Archbishop William Levada of Portland, OR. Today, 
it has a student body of ethnically diverse young people who are 
building their futures on the solid base of a Saint Anthony High School 
education.
  Academic excellence has always been the priority at Saint Anthony 
High School. As the school moves into the 21st century, this proud 
tradition continues. The school's newly developed medical science 
program is the only one of its kind in California. Its Air Force Junior 
ROTC program is the only one in the Los Angeles archdiocese. Saint 
Anthony's offers an extensive honors and advanced placement program. 
Students in the advance placement economics and accounting classes have 
a 100-percent passage rate, while in most public schools that rate is 
15 percent. And, Saint Anthony High School students were the undefeated 
champions of the Long Beach Academic Challenge Bowl 3 of the five years 
the competition was held.
  Schools such as Saint Anthonty High School have made our Nation 
strong--and hold the hope for the future of our country. For 75 years, 
Saint Anthony High School has taken this mission to heart. As the 
students and faculty move into the new century, I wish them many more 
years of success.
