 TRIBUTE TO KAREN CABE GIBSON'S CLASS AT R.B. STALL HIGH SCHOOL, STATE 
WINNERS OF THE ``WE THE PEOPLE . . . THE CITIZEN AND THE CONSTITUTION'' 
                              COMPETITION

                                 ______


                     HON. MARSHALL ``MARK'' SANFORD

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 22, 1996

  Mr. SANFORD. Mr. Speaker, high school students from across the Nation 
have recently visited Washington to compete in the ``We the People,'' 
program. I am proud to say that South Carolina's winner is R.B. Stall 
High School from the First district. They were kind enough to drop by 
my office, and I had the opportunity to personally meet and 
congratulate the students, teachers, and coaches. At a time when only 
about one in six citizens between the ages of 18 and 24 even register 
to vote, it was heartening to meet so many young people who are shining 
examples of a new generation of leadership for our Nation.
  The teacher of this winning class is Karen Cabe Gibson, who is no 
newcomer to success. She has produced winning classes for South 
Carolina all but twice since the competition began. As a result of her 
countless hours of dedication and with the support of fellow teachers 
Marshall Ward, Grace Perreault, and principal James Hampton, she once 
again brought out the best of a class of eager and knowledgeable minds. 
I trust these students will now go on in life to practice all they have 
learned.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to individually recognize the students from 
Mrs. Gibson's class:
  Sheri Aiken, Nahal Badiian, Richard Carawan, Allan Casanova, Dewayne 
Cid, Timothy Dasinger, Becky Doscher, Treva Floyd, Michael Gale, Nicole 
Gethers, Jeff Harvey, Kalynne Kay, Kim Kay, Michael Kay, Trent Legare, 
Andrew May, Carlos Medina, Jonette Mullineaux, John Pizarro, Desmond 
Rollins, John Sageser, Cherie Tetterton, Danielle Towns, Timothy 
Whaley, and Sean Womersley.
  I would be remiss if I did not thank the South Carolina Bar, the 
Charleston County School District and the many volunteers who served as 
judges and timekeepers during the competition and practice. The program 
could not have been successful without their backing.
