                    TRIBUTE TO SISTER ELLEN SPRINGER

                                 ______


                        HON. WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 30, 1996

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to an 
outstanding educator who was recently honored for her half century of 
dedication to the young people of her community.
  Sister Ellen Springer, the chair of the Nazareth Academy science 
department, recently received a Citation for Excellence in Science 
Teaching from the Pittsburgh Conference Science Week Committee.
  Sister Springer first joined the La Grange Park, IL, based school in 
1946. In her 50 years with the school, she has helped students adjust 
to many changes, as the formerly girls Catholic high school became a 
coeducational institution.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Sister Springer on this important honor and on 
her five decades of dedicated service helping to shape the minds and 
spirits of the young people of her community.
