                        Wednesday, June 12, 1996

  Mrs. MORELLA. I rise to salute a long-term educator in my district, 
Mr. Edwin Schneck. He has taught science for over 35 years; 32 of the 
years were spent in Bethesda, MD.

Since 1964, Edwin Schneck has been a science teacher at Bethesda-Chevy 
Chase High School.
  In order to further education in Montgomery County, Mr. Schneck 
focused on the rewriting of curriculum and also took a variety of 
leadership positions in the county. One of the founding members of 
Homework-Hotline, Edwin Schneck never tired of helping students learn, 
even if it was not in the classroom. He tirelessly took on a variety of 
roles so that the needs of the diverse student body of Bethesda-Chevy 
Chase High School could be met.
  A coach as well as a teacher, Mr. Schneck coached basketball, 
baseball, and golf during his tenure at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High 
School. Whether on the playing field or in the classroom, Edwin Schneck 
gave of himself for the sake of his students.
  Mr. Schneck's conscientiousness as an educator should be an example 
for all of us; he was a teacher whose community was a better place for 
his service.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank you for the opportunity to pay tribute to this 
devoted educator.
