                        A TRIBUTE TO ED MULLANEY

                                 ______


                       HON. CONSTANCE A. MORELLA

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 12, 1996

  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity to acknowledge one 
of Montgomery County's finest teachers, Ed Mullaney, on the occasion of 
his retirement. For 30 years, he has ensured that the students of the 
Montgomery County school system received educations of the highest 
standard. First a geography and history teacher at Leland Junior High 
School and later a social studies teacher at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High 
School, Mr. Mullaney energetically devoted himself to the students he 
taught. Yet far more than just teaching them academics, he educated 
students about community service.
  As a founder of teen organizations, sponsor of yearbooks, student 
governments, and sports programs, Ed Mullaney gave of himself so that 
the communities of the schools in which he worked would be stronger. At 
B-CC, he was often recognized as the spirit of the school, a teacher 
who made students realize how fortunate they were to attend Bethesda-
Chevy Chase High School. Even when they left, students could not forget 
Mr. Mullaney, for he even organized alumni events during his past 7 
years at B-CC.
  Wherever Mr. Mullaney has been, he has encouraged his students to 
involve themselves in their communities. He realizes that community 
spirit is the key to a successful education.
  I fondly remember that when I was a Maryland State Legislator, Mr. 
Mullaney could be depended upon to bring students of the highest 
caliber to the State capitol. His organization of these excursions was 
always beyond the duty of a teacher, but he wanted to give his students 
something more than a classroom education.
  Ed Mullaney will be missed both as a teacher and a leader in 
Montgomery County. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to add my voice to the 
praises of his students and colleagues who gather to salute him.
