               TRIBUTE TO STUDENTS OF JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL

                                 ______


                         HON. DAVID FUNDERBURK

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 22, 1996

  Mr. FUNDERBURK. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to 
recognize the accomplishments of a group of exemplary high school 
students from Jordan High School in Durham, NC. These outstanding young 
people were participants in the We the People . . . the Citizen and the 
Constitution national finals, April 27 through April 29 in Washington, 
DC. The students competed against 49 other classes from around the 
Nation in a simulated congressional hearing in which students testified 
as constitutional experts before a panel of judges.
  This program, administered by the Center for Civic Education, is one 
of the most extensive of its kind, involving more than 22 million 
American students from the elementary level to the high school level.
  The following Jordan High School students are to be commended for 
their efforts: Alyson Beacham, Joe Blocher, John Cerquiera, Shekinah 
Cohn, T.J. Eatmon, Jared Hanson, Sarah Harrocks, Hao Lo, Sharon Mason, 
Catherine McCall, Kevin Neary, Vera Reed, Aran Stynes, Vanessa Vigna, 
Becky Walden, and John Zhu. I would also like to salute their teacher 
and mentor, Susan Roe.
