                   CONGRATULATIONS TO DAVID GUETZKOW

                                 ______


                         HON. GERALD D. KLECZKA

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 16, 1996

  Mr. KLECZKA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my most sincere 
congratulations to David Guetzkow, who was named the Wisconsin Boys & 
Girls Clubs' ``1996 Youth of the Year.'' David is an exemplary young 
man very deserving of this distinguished award.
  David has been an active member of the Irving J. Seher Boys & Girls 
Club for 11 years. He has demonstrated his leadership and commitment 
through activities sponsored by the Seher Club, as well as the 
Milwaukee Trade and Technical High School which he attends. Club 
projects like Adopt-A-Highway on South 27th Street in Milwaukee and the 
graffiti removal project instilled a sense of community pride in David.
  At Milwaukee Trade and Technical High, David has excelled in both 
academic and extracurricular areas. While maintaining a 3.5 grade point 
average, he has made time to tutor other students, serve as captain of 
the volleyball and basketball teams, and quarterback of the football 
team, and will be inducted into the National Honor Society this fall.
  In receiving this honor, David performed exceptionally in all eight 
categories judged: service to the club, community service, home and 
family, school performance, spirituality, essay writing, interview 
skills, and public speaking. He speaks highly of the values and 
direction the Boys and Girls Club has provided throughout his youth.
  So, I send my best wishes to David Guetzkow as he heads to the 
midwest regional competition in June. His parents, Jeanne and Joel, are 
no doubt proud of their son. I share in their pride and believe that 
with young people like David, our society indeed has a very bright 
future.
